California Privacy Rights

Residents of the State of California, under California Civil Code § 1798.83, have the right to request from companies conducting business in California a list of all third-parties to which the company has disclosed personal information during the preceding year for direct marketing purposes. Alternatively, the law provides that if the company has a privacy policy that gives either an opt-out or opt-in choice for use of your personal information by third-parties (such as advertisers) for marketing purposes, the company may instead provide you with information on how to exercise your disclosure choice options.

ELEVI qualifies for the alternative option. We have a comprehensive privacy policy, and provide you with details on how you may either opt-out or opt-in to the use of your personal information by third-parties for direct marketing purposes. Therefore, we are not required to maintain or disclose a list of the third-parties that received your personal information for marketing purposes during the preceding year.

If you are a California resident and request information about how to exercise your third party disclosure choices, please email us your request to privacy@elevi.net.
