Some portions of this Supplemental Notice only apply to consumers who reside in particular U.S. states. In those instances, we have indicated that such language applies only to those residents.

Please note that this Supplemental Notice does not apply to individuals with whom we interact in an employment-related context or a business context.

    5. Retention of Personal Information

    We retain each category of Personal Information listed in Section B(1) for the time needed to fulfill our legitimate and lawful business purposes and comply with applicable regulations.

    C. Do Not Track & Opt-Out Preference Signals

    We recognize opt-out preference signals that we are required to recognize for compliance with applicable law. Where required by U.S. Privacy Laws, we treat such opt-out preference signals as a valid request to opt-out of sale, sharing, and processing for purposes of targeted advertising, as applicable, for the browser or device through which the signal is sent and any consumer profile we have associated with that browser or device, including pseudonymous profiles. Further, if we know the identity of the consumer from the opt-out preference signal, we will also treat the opt-out preference signal as a valid request to opt out of sale and sharing for such consumer. Consumers may use opt-out preference signals by downloading or otherwise activating them for use on supported browsers and setting them to send opt-out preference signals to websites they visit. However, our sites do not respond to “Do Not Track” signals sent by browsers, which are different from the opt-out preference signals described above.

    D. Your Rights & Choices

    Residents who reside in states with U.S. Privacy Laws have the following rights regarding our collection and use of the Personal Information, subject to certain exceptions. Please read this section carefully as some rights vary by state.
