What about your California Privacy Rights?

California’s “Shine the Light” law entitles California residents who provide their personal information to us in obtaining products or services for personal, family or household use to obtain from us information about any customer information we have shared with other businesses for their direct marketing uses, including the categories of customer information and the names and addresses of those businesses with which we shared customer information for the immediately prior calendar year. California law permits you to obtain such information from us once per calendar year.

We are not required to provide the above-described information as long as we adopt and disclose a privacy policy under which we do not disclose your personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes unless you first affirmatively agree to the disclosure. Accordingly, we are only required to notify you of the right to prevent disclosure of your personal information and providing a cost free means for you to exercise that right.

Sojern does not share information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes unless you affirmatively agree to such disclosure as stated above in this Privacy Policy. If we do share information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes and you do ask us to include your information as well, we will only share information in connection with that specific promotion. To prevent disclosure of your personal information for use in direct marketing by a third party, do not opt in to such use when you provide personally identifiable information on our Site or the Service. If you later decide that you do not want that third party to use your information, you will need to contact the third party directly.
