The California Consumer Privacy Act (“<strong>CCPA</strong>”), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“<strong>CPRA</strong>”) (the CPPA and CPRA, collectively the “<strong>California Privacy Laws</strong>”) gives California residents certain rights and choices about how we collect, use, and disclose their Personal Information. This Section 9 of this Privacy Policy (the “<strong>California Notice</strong>”) describes these additional rights and choices and provides disclosures required by the California Privacy Laws about how we collect, use, and disclose California residents’ Personal Information.</p> <p>This California Notice applies to information of California residents that constitutes “Personal Information” under the California Privacy Laws to the extent that we handle such California Personal Information in our capacity as a business under the California Privacy Laws. For purposes of this California Notice Section of this Privacy Policy, the capitalized term “Personal Information” refers to information of California residents that constitutes “personal information” under the California Privacy Laws, as distinguished from the general definition of Personal Information set forth under Section 1.1 of this Privacy Policy. As a practical matter, if you are a California resident that uses the Services, there is likely little or no difference between Personal Information as used in this California Notice Section of the Privacy Policy and the definition of Personal Information provided above in Section 1.1. This California Notice does not apply to information exempt from, or otherwise not subject to, the requirements of the California Privacy Laws.&nbsp;</p> <p> <strong>
