For purposes of this Privacy Policy, unless otherwise required by applicable law, “personal data” means any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual or household. This may include, without limitation information which identifies you or which could be used to identify you such as your name and contact details, or your user account information. “Personal data” also may include information about how you use our Platform. “Personal data” may not include, subject to applicable law, information that is considered publicly available, aggregated, anonymized, or deidentified under applicable law.

The categories of personal data we may collect and process (but only to the extent and in a manner consistent with applicable law) are as follows:

We also collect information regarding user traffic patterns and site usage. This information is used to analyze, administer and improve our Platform and services, to provide our customers with a fulfilling shopping experience, to analyze trends, to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole, to personalize the Platform and services, our communications with you, and your shopping experience and as more fully described in Section 4 headed “HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA.”

We may also collect your order history, such as what products you have purchased or services you browsed through our Platform. We may also collect your product and service preferences.

Information Collected by Cookies and Other Technologies: As more fully explained in Section 11 headed “COOKIES AND DATA TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES” of this Privacy Policy, we (and our service providers and third parties) may use cookies, web beacons (also known as "tracking pixels") and other collection or tracking technologies to record and collect information about you when you interact with the Platform, such as click behavior, indicated preferences browsing and purchasing behavior. We may combine this information with other information we collect about you and use it for various purposes, such as improving our Platform and your online experience, understanding which areas and features of our Platform are popular, counting visits, understanding campaign effectiveness, tailoring our communications with you, determining whether an email has been opened and links within the email have been clicked and for other business purposes.

Demographic Information. We may collect demographic information, such as your age, date of birth or gender, where necessary.

For example, we may monitor and record audio during customer service calls for quality assurance and feedback purposes.

Where required, we obtain your consent and/or allow you to opt-in or opt-out of the processing of your personal data as described below. We collect these categories of personal data to carry out the purposes described in Section 4 below headed “HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA.”

If you participate in a contest or other program that we offer, we may, in addition to the above, collect the information to administer such events, or as otherwise disclosed at the time of collection, such as contact information, preferences, addresses, and other information you provide to us.

We may combine information you give us with other information from our sources, transactions and communications from or with you or another third party. This may include, but is not limited to, catalogues, promotions, collaborations, events, products and applications, or other interactions with us. We may also combine that information with data that is publicly available and data from third parties. To the extent non-service information is combined with personal data collected via the services, we will treat it as personal data under this Privacy Policy.

We collect personal data that you disclose to us when you use the Platform or our services through the Platform and in any physical stores. We collect personal data you give us or permit us to access. We may also collect personal data regarding your interaction with us and use of our products. For example, you provide personal data for processing your order when you make purchases with us; when you request information; when you register or sign up for our events or newsletters; and when you create and/or log into your online account. We also collect your personal data if you apply to work at Esprit or at any of the Esprit Group via our careers pages at [INSERT LINK TO CAREERS PAGE]. For further details of the personal data that we collect and process, please see Section 2 headed “PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT.” We may use the personal data you provide to us to create a user profile. In this context, we may combine the personal data you give us online with other information we hold or obtain from other entities, including regarding transactions and communications collected or processed by any member of the Esprit Group and authorized service providers or subcontractors.

We will not collect personal data indiscriminately, but will limit collection of personal data to that which is reasonable and necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and as we notify you about or that you consent to, as applicable. We will also collect ‎personal data as permitted by applicable law.

We may use personal data for the following purposes:

• If you decide to become a registered user of our Platform, we need to process your personal data to identify you as a user of the Platform and grant you access to its various functionalities, and the products and services available to you as a registered user. You may cancel your registered user account by contacting us through Customer Service on the Platform or at the Contact Us Section below. 

• When you place an order via our Platform, your personal data will be collected, processed and used to fulfill your order through us, for the performance and execution of the purchase contract you entered into with us or our authorized fulfilment service providers on the Platform. 

• To contact you for updates or informative notices related to functionalities, products or services, including offering you surveys and to be able to establish the degree of customer satisfaction with the provided service. 

• To manage payment of the products that you purchase, regardless of the payment procedure used. For example: If you purchase any of our products through the Platform, and you opt to activate the functionality of saving your payment data and your shipment address for future purchases, where this functionality is available, we, U.S. Direct E-Commerce Limited (trading as “ESW”)  (our international seller for orders shipped outside the United States) and/or our third party payment processors need to process the personal data and other indicated data for activation and development of that functionality. Consent to the activation of this functionality enables your autocompleted payment data to appear in subsequent purchases so that you do not need to introduce them in each new process, and this personal data will be deemed valid and effective for subsequent purchases. You may change or cancel your payment data at any time through the section on payment information of your Platform registered user account. 

• To activate the mechanisms necessary to prevent and detect unauthorized uses of the Platform (for example, during the purchase and returns process) as well as potential security issues or fraud being committed against you, another person and/or against us. If we consider that the transaction may be fraudulent or we detect abnormal behavior which indicates attempted fraudulent use of our features, Platform, products or services, this processing may result in consequences such as the blocking of the transaction or the deletion of your user account. 

• To manage exchanges or returns and to manage look up features for particular articles and reservation of products through the Platform, depending on the availability of such options from time to time. 

• For invoicing purposes and to make available to you the receipt and invoices of the purchases you have made. 

• To ensure that you are able to use other available functionalities or services, such as the purchase, receipt, management and use of gift cards or vouchers. 

• To process your personal data to meet requests or applications that you make through the Customer Service channels. If you contact us via telephone, the call may be recorded so that we can respond to your request. If it is available and you choose to communicate with our Customer Service through the chat service of a social network or another collaborator, some of your personal data such as your name or username, will be imported from your social network or collaborator account. Also, bear in mind that the personal data you submit on such services will be available to your social network or collaborator and is subject to their privacy policies; therefore, we recommend that you review your privacy settings and read the social network or collaborator privacy policies to obtain more detailed information about their use of your personal data when using their services. 

• If you have elected to or in some jurisdictions, opted-in to receive direct marketing communications from us, your personal data may be used to send you information about us and/or to receive the latest news on Esprit branded promotions and products. We may send you such information by means of e-newsletters, e-mails and postal mail based on your jurisdiction and/or your preferences. If you decide not to receive such communications or updates from us, you can contact us at any time or by using the unsubscribe option included in each email. 

Your personal data may also be used for the following purposes: 

• Providing you with customer service and related service in the course of our business, including, but not limited to, services relating to your order, delivery, payment, product exchange or return and product preferences; 

• Providing you with the technical and functional management of the Platform; 

• Providing you with our marketing materials and information related to products, offers, sales, promotions, newsletters, upcoming events and discounts; 

• Conducting research, surveys, audits, reviews and analyses of your experience with our services and products; 

• Gathering users’ statistics for the purpose of future marketing and promotion and future development of our services and Platform; 

• Meeting disclosure obligations and other requirements imposed by or for the purposes of any laws, regulations, rules, regulations, codes of practice or guidelines binding on us (whether applicable in or outside the United States and Canada) including making disclosures to any legal, regulatory, governmental, tax, law enforcement or other authorities; 

• Investigating, preventing or stopping fraud, security incidents and abuse; 

• Other purposes for which we notify you or for which you provide your consent; 

• Bookkeeping and other operational purposes. 

You may instruct us to refrain from using your personal data in any way that is not required for us to provide the Platform or our services to you. We will not refuse you access to any product or service merely because you have advised us to stop using your personal data in any way that is not required for the Platform, services or other legal purpose. 

• [We work with ESW to sell and deliver our products to destinations outside the United States. If you are shipping to a country supported by ESW, you will navigate away from our Platform to a co-branded checkout service “powered by ESW”. ESW’s privacy policy, and not our Privacy Policy, will apply to information that you directly provide on that site, such as your payment information. Additionally, when you navigate to ESW’s checkout site, we will share information about you and your order with ESW to facilitate your purchase of our products from ESW. ]  

• We use unrelated or third party service providers for certain processing activities on our behalf to operate the Platform and provide services, such as website hosting, order and return processing, analytics service, payment processing, fulfilment of products or services, delivering content, management of the Platform, and customer service (including chat features). The handling of your personal data by such parties, their affiliates and/or their agents (if necessary) will be governed by our agreements with them, which require our service providers to use or disclose personal data only as necessary to perform services on our behalf or to comply with legal obligations. 

• We may engage third-party payment processors for the purpose of processing your payments made via the Platform or in our stores from time to time. The personal data, which contains your payment information including but not limited to your credit/debit card number, holder’s name and card verification number, will be passed directly to such payment processors, their affiliates and/or their agents (if necessary) solely to complete the transaction and related activities. 

• In accordance with, and to the extent permitted by, applicable laws, we may also release personal data in order to comply with any requests from US or foreign courts, law enforcement and government agencies or authorities, to enforce the terms of use of the Platform and other agreements, and to protect you, us and others. We may do so when we believe in good faith that disclosing this information is otherwise necessary or advisable, including, for instance, to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing fraud, injury to or interfering with the rights or property of us, our customers, users of our Platform or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. 

• We may share your personal data with entities that belong to the Esprit Group as well as the respective employees, which may reside outside your jurisdiction of residence, when necessary for any of the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. 

• We may transfer personal data to an affiliate or third party as part of a transfer of business assets through a merger, a sale or an acquisition. Should this happen, notice will be provided to you by posting on the Platform or through other forms of communications in accordance with applicable law. We will also use reasonable efforts to direct the transferee to use personal data you have provided to us in a manner that is consistent with our Privacy Policy and applicable law. 

• To facilitate the purposes set out in this Section, we may transfer, disclose, grant access to or share your personal data with the third parties set out in this section, and you acknowledge that those parties may be based outside the United States or your province or territory in Canada (including outside of Quebec, for residents of Quebec). Such transfers may make that information subject to disclosure laws in those jurisdictions. You may contact our Privacy or Data Protection Officer (whose contact information is provided above) to obtain information about our policies and practices regarding our transfer of personal data outside of your jurisdiction, or to ask questions about the collection, use, disclosure or storage of personal data by us or our foreign service providers. 

• Where your personal data is transferred pursuant to this section, we take steps to ensure that the third party recipients residing outside of Canada or the United States use and process your personal data with a standard of protection at least equivalent to the protection that you would receive under local law. 

We utilize appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards and security measures designed to protect the personal data you provide on the Platform. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Personal data may be accessed by persons within Esprit Group and our third-party service providers, who require such access to carry out the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or for such other purposes as may be permitted or required by the applicable law.

We will keep your personal data for the time necessary as described in Section 12 below. We may store and process your personal data in the United States, Canada, any member states of the European Union and/or other foreign countries that provide hosting or other services to us.

For example, the Personal Data you provide when you sign up for an Esprit account will be stored in the United States, Canada and any member states of the European Union, and also by other Esprit Group entities and our cloud service providers located inside and outside of the United States and Canada for the purpose of authenticating your account and signing you in. In these circumstances, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that your personal data is protected. Typically, such steps include carrying out data security reviews of service providers and putting in place contracts to ensure they employ the same or similar appropriate technical and organizational measures as Esprit Group. However, where personal data is stored or processed outside of the United States or Canada (whether by us or a service provider), it is subject to the laws of that foreign jurisdiction, and may be accessible to that jurisdiction’s governments, courts, or law enforcement or regulatory agencies. 

Our Platform may contain links to websites of third parties, and some of the services we provide may include access to third party services. We do not have any control over these websites and are not responsible for their content or security. Please read the privacy policy and terms of use of any third-party websites or services that you can access from our Platform or services. We are not responsible for, and make no representations regarding, the policies or business practices of any third parties. If you click on a link to such website, you do so at your own risk, and you are subject to the privacy policy and terms and conditions of that website.

The Platform may be operated, in whole or in part, from a country other than the United States or Canada, and it may be necessary to transfer your information to a country or province/territory outside of the country or province/territory where it was originally collected or outside of your country or province/territory of residence or nationality. Regardless of where you live, you consent to having your personal data transferred to, processed and stored outside the United States or your province or territory of residence in Canada, and you acknowledge that such transfers may make your personal data subject to applicable disclosure laws in those jurisdictions. The information that you provide us may be transferred to any of our affiliated entities around the world for the purposes of carrying out or facilitating the delivery of our products and services.

As a general rule, we do not intentionally collect personal data from individuals under the age of legal majority in their place of residence or from children under 14. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from minors or children, we will take steps to delete such information in compliance with applicable law.

If you publicly post about us, or communicate directly with us, on social media websites, platforms or channels, we may collect and process the data contained in such posts or in your public profile. Please note that, if you choose to select that option, your activity on our Platform will also be made available to social media websites, platforms or channels, including but not limited to Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc. If you choose to share our Platform through such social media websites, platforms or channels, your personal data (such as your name and the fact that you are interested in our Esprit brand) may also be visible to all the visitors of your personal webpage on such social media websites, platforms or channels, depending on your account settings. Your use of such social media websites, platforms or channels is governed by the respective terms and conditions (including the privacy policies) of the applicable social media websites, platforms or channels. We are not responsible for the processing of personal data or the privacy policy of such social media websites, platforms or channels. This Privacy Policy is not applicable to the use of such social media websites, platforms or channels.

Your opinion is important to us, whether it is about your satisfaction with your shopping experience with us, our products and services overall, or your views and impressions around the fashion world. Therefore, from time to time, we provide customer surveys where you can express your opinion on various topics. Insofar as this is necessary within the framework of the customer survey or you wish us to do so, we will collect your name, surname, telephone number and e-mail address. If you wish, we will use this data so that we can subsequently contact you personally. We also collect personal data about which end device, operating system and browser you used in order to understand how high the participation rates of the different end devices are and to be able to further optimize our surveys for the respective end devices and browser types. We also collect personal data on how you interact with our surveys, (i.e., how long you stay on individual question pages and on which survey page you answer). We may use or share the collected data in deidentified, anonymized, and/or aggregated forms.

• Generally, transient cookies – including, “session cookies” – are automatically deleted when you close your Internet browser, or when a session has expired. These cookies store a so-called session ID, with which various enquiries of your internet browser can be allocated to the joint session. In this way, your computer or device can be recognized again if you return to our Platform. The session cookies are usually deleted when you log out or close the Internet browser. The following data may be stored and transmitted via session cookies such as: log-in information; language settings; visitor ID; and time stamp with the start and end of the current session. 

• Transient cookies are used in order to simplify the use of our Platform. Several functions of our Platform cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For this, it is necessary that the Internet browser is also recognized again after a change in site. Transient cookies are therefore used, for example, for the functional capability of the shopping cart or the assumption of language settings.  

• The use of analytics cookies is carried out for the purpose of personalizing and improving the quality of our Platform and its contents. From the cookie analysis, we find out how the Platform is used and can so therefore consistently optimize our offers. Without your consent in Canada, a collection of analysis data is merely carried out in a pseudonymized form. 

• Cookies are stored on your computer and transmitted by your computer to our Platform. Therefore, as a user you have some control over the use of cookies. By a change in the settings in your Internet browser, you can deactivate or limit the transmission of cookies. Please refer to the help menu of each Internet browser, which also explains how you can change your cookie-settings. Similarly, you can adjust your advertising preferences on your mobile device at the device level. 

• You can set your browser so that it does not accept unnecessary cookies. However, please note that in the case of the non-acceptance of cookies, the functionality of our Platform may be restricted. 

• Pixel tags (sometime called web beacons or clear GIFs) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. While cookies are stored locally on a device, pixel tags are embedded invisibly within web pages and online content. We may use these, in connection with our Platform to, among other things, track the activities of users, help us manage content and compile usage statistics. We may also use these in e-mails we send to help us track e-mail response rates, identify when our e-mails are viewed, and track whether our e-mails are forwarded. 

• We may use third party tools, such as Adobe Analytics, to evaluate usage of our Services and to help us improve performance and user experiences. These third party tools may use cookies and other tracking technologies, such as pixel tags, to perform their services. You can use the Adobe Analytics Opt Out link at https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/analytics/implementation/js/opt-out.html?lang=en. 

• We and our third parties may use the information we collect on our Platform and on other third party sites and services to help identify other devices that are used (e.g., a mobile phone, tablet, other computer, etc.). This information may be used for advertising, marketing, analytics and measurement purpose. 

• There are industry solutions available for opting out of interest based advertising. Visitors to our Platform may follow the steps provided by initiatives that educate users on how to set tracking preferences for most online advertising tools. These resources include Your Online Choices in the EU (https://www.youronlinechoices.eu/), the Network Advertising Initiative (https://thenai.org/about-online-advertising/) and the Digital Advertising Alliance (https://digitaladvertisingalliance.org/) in the US, the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada (https://youradchoices.ca/en/learn), or other similar services. Cookie-based opt outs must be performed on each device and browser. Your opt-out may not be effective if your browser is configured to reject cookies. California residents should see additional choices listed below. 

• To the extent required by the applicable privacy and data protection laws of your jurisdiction of residence, we will ask for and obtain your consent before processing your personal data using any of the technologies listed in this section. 

We will keep your personal data as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described herein, unless a longer or shorter retention period is required by law, is necessary in the course of legal proceedings or is otherwise needed for a particular purpose under applicable law.

We offer functionalities or services that require us to process the personal data of a third party that you, as a user or as a customer, must provide, such as in the case of activation and sending of the gift card, the management of the application for a gift voucher (where these features are available), or when you authorize a third party to collect your order. If you provide us with personal data of third parties or if it is necessary that we request such personal data from a third party to collect an order on your behalf, you confirm that you have informed them of the purposes and of the manner in which we need to process their personal data, and you represent to us that you have obtained the consent of such third party, as necessary, to provide us with their personal data for the respective purposes. If a third party has provided us with your personal data or you have provided them yourself as a result of a feature or service requested by one of our users, we will use the personal data to manage the feature or service in question in each case, within the limits of the purposes listed in this Privacy Policy or under applicable law.

This Privacy Policy may be changed from time to time as we deem necessary without prior notice. Users of the Platform are advised to regularly review this Privacy Policy for possible changes to remain informed of how we are protecting your information. This Privacy Policy was last modified as of the date stated above. By accessing or using the Platform or creating or logging in your account (as the case may be) each time, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy as of the date stated above.

Depending on where you live, you may be entitled to the rights described below regarding the personal data that you provide to us. Please read and follow the instructions to exercise your rights in a timely manner. California residents should review the additional information below. If a non-Esprit company is independently responsible for your personal data, you must consult and read such non-Esprit company’s privacy policy to exercise your rights with that company.

To protect your personal data and privacy, certain requests cannot be processed if we are required to retain the personal data for legal reasons or if we cannot verify your identity. We may ask additional verification questions if we have reasonable doubts about your identity in order to protect all personal data and rights of our consumers. 

• Opting Out and Unsubscribing from Marketing Messages: All our direct marketing communications (e.g., email or text messages) contain an easy way to let you opt out from receiving future messages, such as a link through which you can unsubscribe or text STOP, as applicable. If you would like to opt out of receiving our marketing messages, you may change your account settings or use the unsubscribe method contained in the messages or emails you have received. Alternatively, you can contact us using details set out below. 

• Exceptions: Please note that if you choose to opt out of receiving marketing communications in the manner explained above, we will continue to send you transactional messages such as information about your orders in the United States. In Canada, we will continue to process your personal data, in particular, to allow us to understand your interests and preferences (if you have given your consent for such uses, and only until you also opt out of those uses), but we will stop using your personal data to send you personalized or non-personalized marketing messages, and if you would like us to stop such processing in part or in full, please refer to the “Deletion of Information / Withdrawal of Consent” section below. 

• Advertising Choices: Please see the Cookies and Tracking Technologies section. 

• Access and Correction of Personal Data and Exceptions: Upon request, we will provide you with a summary of personal data collected and retained by us regarding you. You may modify, correct, or update your personal data or request to have your personal data removed from our database unless an exception exists. In some situations, we may not be able to provide access to certain personal data (e.g., if disclosure would reveal personal data about another individual, the personal data is protected by solicitor or client privilege, the personal data was collected for the purposes of an investigation, where disclosure of the information would reveal confidential commercial information or another valid exception exists). We may also be prevented by law from providing access to certain personal information. Where an access request is refused, we will notify you in writing, document the reasons for refusal and outline further steps which are available to you. 

• Deletion of Information/Withdrawal of Consent: We will delete your personal data upon receiving your request using the contact details set out below. We will consider and where necessary, comply with your request in accordance with applicable law including any applicable exceptions.

The sections above describe the categories of personal information we collect, the categories of sources from which the personal information is collected, our purposes for processing each category, whether we sell or share personal information, whether we have disclosed personal information for a business purpose, the categories of recipients, and our retention periods.

We will remove such content or information when we are required to do so by law. To request the removal of content or information you posted on the Platform, you may contact us as described below. Please note that even if we remove the content or information that you posted, we cannot prevent further use or disclosure of that content or information by others once you have shared it publicly.

Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing of Personal Information with Third Parties: You have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information by Esprit to third parties. We do not sell or share your personal information, as those terms are defined under California law.

Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information. You have the right to direct us to limit our use of your sensitive personal information to that use which is necessary to fulfill the purposes reasonably expected by an average consumer who requests those goods or services. California law considers the following pieces of personal information to be “sensitive:” social security number, driver’s license number or other government-issued identification number, financial account number, any health insurance or medical identification number, an account password, security questions and answers, or unique biometric data. We use sensitive personal information only as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, and we do not use it to infer characteristics about you.

Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of the rights described in this section.

Submitting Privacy Rights Requests

California consumers may make the above request by contacting us by either: Calling us at [1-888-914-9661], access code: [727038], emailing us at data.protection@esprit.com, or filling out a Consumer Data Request Form available here.

To protect your privacy and comply with the CCPA, we may need to verify your request, including your identity. The verifiable consumer request, if required, must:

• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify your identity as the person whom we collect personal information, and in the cases for more sensitive or important personal information, we require that be done in a high degree of certainty. We do this in a number of ways, depending on how we have interacted with you in the past including requiring you to log into your account, if you have one, or matching information we have in our records with information you provide to us. We use personal information you provide during verification to keep a record of your request; and 

• Describe your request with enough detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

Please note that we may not be able to fully respond to your right to know request if we cannot verify your identity consistent with the CCPA’s standards for verification and security and confirm that the personal information relates to you.

Consistent with the CCPA and our interest in the security of your personal information, we will not deliver to you your government-issued id number, financial account number, an account password, or security questions or answers, in response to a CCPA request; however, we will confirm whether or not we are processing your personal information. We will not collect additional personal information from you for the sole purpose of your exercising your rights under the CCPA.  Similarly, we will not require you to create an account of any sort, solely for the purpose of exercising your rights under the CCPA.

Using an Authorized Agent

You may use an authorized agent to exercise your rights under the CCPA. We may request evidence from the authorized agent that you have provided that agent with signed permission to submit the requests on your behalf. We may ask you to verify your identify with us directly or we may ask you to directly confirm with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request. We reserve the right to deny requests, where we reasonably suspect that the request is fraudulent. For the protection of our customers, we must receive all information requested and must verify an agent’s legal authority to our satisfaction consistent with what the CCPA requires or permits before we can fulfill a request by an authorized agent.

Financial Incentives

We may offer rewards, discounts, and other benefits (collectively, “Rewards”) to our customers who subscribe to our newsletters and marketing communications and participate in any contests, programs, or similar rewards programs (collectively, “Financial Incentives”). When you participate in our Financial Incentives, we collect your personal information, such as identifiers like your name and email address, as well as commercial information like your purchasing habits and product preferences.

Participation in Financial Incentive programs requires your prior opt-in consent, which you have the right to withdraw at any time. You can opt into a Financial Incentive by following instructions provided in connection with the sign-up, and you may opt-out of the incentive at any time by contacting us as set out above. We will provide additional terms and conditions for a Financial Incentive program when you sign up. We equate the value of personal information collected in connection with a Financial Incentive program to our cost of operating the program (excluding the value of the benefits provided, many of which are intangible and vary from time-to-time and person-to-person), and deem the value of the benefits as reasonably related to the value of personal information collected based on the voluntary nature of program participation.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CPRA rights in connection with the Financial Incentives including by:

• Denying you goods or services; 

• Charging you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties; 

• Providing you a different level or quality of goods or services; 

• Suggesting that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
