how we collect, use and share their Personal Data, and of the rights and
choices we offer California residents regarding our handling of the Personal
Data.
Your California privacy rights
As a California resident, you have the rights listed below. However, these rights
are not absolute, and we may decline your request as permitted by the CCPA.

sold to third parties and the categories of third parties to whom such personal
data was sold or disclosed. You may only make an access request to us for your
personal data up to two times in any 12-month period.
· Deletion.
You may have the right to request that we delete certain personal data that we

unable to comply with any such request, we will notify you.
· Correction.
You may have the right to request that we correct inaccuracies in the personal
data we have collected about you.
· Right
to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal data. The CCPA grants you
the right to instruct a business to limit its use or disclosure of your
sensitive personal information to that use which is necessary to perform the services
or provide the goods reasonably expected by you in your request for those goods
or services and to perform certain activities permitted by the CCPA. We do not collect, use or disclose sensitive
personal data for any purposes other than those necessary to provide the
relevant services or as permitted by the CCPA.
· Right
to opt-out. You may have the right to request that your personal data not be
shared (as such terms are defined above) with third parties.
· Non-discrimination.
You are entitled to exercise the rights described above free from
discrimination. This means that we will not penalize you for exercising your
rights by taking actions such as by denying you goods or services, increasing
the price/rate of goods or services, decreasing the service quality, or
suggesting that we may penalize you as described above for exercising your
rights. However, the CCPA allows us to charge you a different price or provide
a different service quality if that difference is reasonably related to the
value of the Personal Data we are unable to use.
How to exercise your rights
You may exercise your California privacy rights as follows:
Right to information, access and deletion
You can request to exercise your information, access and deletion rights by:
· Contacting us at dataprotection@celticmedia.net

submitting the request before providing a substantive response to the request.

evaluate and respond. The requester must provide sufficient information to
allow us to reasonably verify that the individual is the person about whom we
collected information. A request may also be made on behalf of your child under 13.

agents. California residents can empower an “authorized agent” to submit
requests on their behalf. We will require the authorized agent to have a
written authorization confirming that authority.

Our
websites and online services and the websites of our Media Partners may use
analytics and advertising tools that enable us and our analytics and marketing
partners to collect and disclose internet or other electronic network activity
information based on your activity across our services and websites and the
websites of our Media Partners, including to analyze your usage of our services
and our services with our Media Partners and to serve you advertisements that

Information of consumers under 16 without parental consent.

The table below summarizes what data we may collect or what data may have been collected from California residents during the last 12 months before the
effective date of this Policy.
Please note that the categories and examples provided in the list below are those defined in the CCPA.

For example, certain categories of personal information would only be collected if you provided such personal information directly to us.
