In particular, if you are a California resident, the below rights may be available to you under the CCPA, subject to certain exceptions and limitations:

While you are using the Site, you may be linked or directed to other thirdparty websites outside of the Site that are beyond our control. A link to a third party’s website does not mean that we endorse it or that we are affiliated with it. You access such third-party websites or content at your own risk. Each of these third parties may have a privacy policy different from ours. Please review the privacy policies of these websites. We are not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.
We will retain your Personal Information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the business purposes we collected it for, including to satisfy any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your Personal Information for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you. To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the purposes for which we process your Personal Information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
