We also process aggregated data, which is data derived from your Personal Data for statistical purposes.

We are not required to maintain, acquire, or possess information to identify you in all circumstances. This Privacy Notice does not restrict our collection and processing of aggregated data. However, if we combine or connect aggregated data with your Personal Data so it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as Personal Data, which will only be processed in accordance with this Privacy Notice.

Data We Do Not Collect. We do not collect any Special Categories of Personal Data (as defined by the GDPR) about you (i.e., details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data). Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offenses.

Neither our website, nor any of the products or services we provide, are intended for anyone under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect or process Personal Data of children under age 16.

If you believe we possess Personal Data of anyone under age 16, please contact us as set forth in Section 11 below.

In some instances, you may ask us to delete your Personal Data. For more information, see Request Erasure of your Personal Data below for further information.

In some instances, we may anonymize your Personal Data (so it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes; in which case, we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

7. What Are Your Personal Data Legal Rights

You have certain rights with respect to your Personal Data under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and under the California Consumer Protection Act (CCPA). Please click on the links below to find out more about these rights:

How to exercise your rights:

You can always Contact Us to exercise your legal rights.

• In connection with certain communications from us, we may provide you with a mechanism to opt-out of receiving similar communications from us in the future.
• In some instances, we may provide you with an online portal through which you can make certain choices about how we process your Personal Data.
• As discussed above, with respect to cookies, you may refuse to accept browser cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser. However, if you select this setting, you may be unable to access certain parts of our websites.
• As discussed above, you may disable Google Analytics from collecting information about your use of the websites.
• You have the right to lodge a complaint with an appropriate supervisory authority if you believe our processing of your Personal Data is inconsistent with the requirements of applicable law.

Usually, There Is No Fee Required To Exercise Your Personal Data Rights. You will not have to pay a fee to excise your rights, nor is the purchase of products or services a condition for you to exercise your rights. You are also entitled to receive a copy of your Personal Data undergoing processing. However, if in exercising your rights, your request is unfounded, repetitive or excessive, we may charge reasonable fees taking into account the administrative costs of providing the information or taking the requested action. We may also refuse to act on the request. If you request more than one copy of your Personal Data, we may also charge you reasonable fees based on our administrative costs to provide you copies.

What We May Need From You. When we have reasonable doubts concerning the identity of an individual making a request to exercise his/her rights, we may request additional information necessary for us to confirm the requestor’s identity.

Our Response. Within one month of receiving a request to exercise your rights, we will perform the requested action and/or acknowledge your request. If, based on the complexity and number of your requests or if we require additional time to verify the accuracy of your Personal Data, we require more than one month to perform the requested action, we will inform you that we require additional time and provide the reasons additional time is necessary. If your request to us is by electronic means, we will respond by electronic means, unless you request that we respond in a different manner.

If we refuse to perform any requested action because doing so would be inconsistent with applicable law, this Privacy Notice, or for any other reason, we will provide you an explanation for our refusal.

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

In addition to the information disclosed above, you are entitled to instruct Analytics8 not to sell your data, as defined in the CCPA. To do so, you may submit your request here. Analytics8 will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your valid rights under the CCPA.

The Service Providers we partner with (for example, our analytics or advertising partners) may use
technology on the Service that sells personal information as defined by the CCPA law. If you wish to opt out of the use of Your personal information for interest-based advertising purposes and these potential sales as defined under CCPA law, you may do so by following the instructions provided.
