[vc_row el_class=”container”][vc_column][vc_column_text]This notice to California residents is provided under California law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), Cal. Civ. Code 1798.100, et seq. This notice supplements our Privacy Policy by explaining your privacy rights if you are a California resident, providing our “notice of collection,” and providing certain mandated disclosures about our treatment of California residents’ information, both online and offline.
NOTICE OF COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We collect these categories of personal information when you interact with us: identifiers/contact information, demographic information, payment card information associated with you, commercial/business information, Internet or other electronic network activity information, geolocation data, audio, electronic, visual or similar information, and inferences drawn from the above.
We collect this information so that we can best serve you, including to fulfill your requests and to share offers that we think you may be interested in. A more detailed description of these purposes is in our Privacy Policy.
California residents also have the right to “opt out” of the “sale” of their “personal information” to “third parties” (as those terms are defined in the CCPA and described below).
CCPA MANDATORY DISCLOSURES
We also make the following disclosures for purposes of compliance with the CCPA:
We collected the following categories of personal information in the last 12 months: identifiers/contact information, demographic information, payment card information associated with you, commercial/business information, Internet or other electronic network activity information, geolocation data, audio, electronic, visual, photographic or similar information, and inferences drawn from the above.
The sources of personal information from whom we collected are: directly from our registrants, third-party sites or platforms that you link or reference with your registration or account, analytics tools, social networks, advertising networks, and third-party services that update or supplement information we hold.
The business or commercial purposes of collecting personal information are as summarized and described in more detail in our Privacy Policy.
We disclosed or may have disclosed the following categories of personal information for a business purpose in the last 12 months: identifiers/contact information, demographic information, payment card information associated with you, commercial/business information, Internet or other electronic network activity information, geolocation data, audio, electronic, visual, photographic or similar information, and inferences drawn from the above. We disclosed or may have disclosed each category to event sponsors, third-party business partners and service providers, third-party sites or platforms such as social networking sites, and other third parties as described in our Privacy Policy.
The CCPA broadly defines the term “sale”. We may have disclosed (as that term is defined by the CCPA) personal information in the categories noted herein where such disclosure may fall within the CCPA’s definition of a “sale.” When we disclose that we may have sold personal information, it means that we may have received some kind of benefit to our company in return for sharing personal information, it does not necessarily mean we received any money in exchange.
As the term is defined by the CCPA, we “sold” or may have sold the following categories of personal information in the last 12 months: identifiers/contact information, Internet or other electronic network activity information, and inferences drawn from the above. We “sold” each category to advertising networks, data analytics providers, and social networks.
The business or commercial purposes of “selling” personal information is for third-party companies to perform services on our behalf, such as marketing, advertising, and audience measurement, and/or for event sponsors to utilize attendance information for purposes directly related to a company event.
We do not “sell” personal information of known minors under 16 years of age.
