Sensitive Personal Information

Privacy laws in California and Virginia specify certain rights with respect to our collection of certain information those laws designate as “Sensitive Personal Information.”  We obtain consent to collect that information in those states where consent is required.   Moreover, each state’s privacy laws may consider different pieces of information to be “Sensitive Personal Information.”  When we collect your Sensitive Personal Information, we collect and use that information to perform the services or provide the goods for which that information is necessary and as reasonably expected by you.

Right to Limit Processing of Sensitive Personal Information

In California, you have the right to limit our processing of Sensitive Personal Information to that use which is necessary to perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected by an average consumer who requests such goods or services.  When we collect your Sensitive Personal Information, we collect and use that information in order to perform the services or provide the goods for which that information is necessary and as reasonably expected by you.  Moreover, we do not use your sensitive personal information for the purpose of inferring any characteristics about you.  We will notify you if we use your Sensitive Personal Information for purposes you might not reasonably expect so that you can request that we limit that processing.  

Sale Of Personal Information

California and Virginia law provide for certain disclosures about personal information we “sell,” which for the purposes of the CPRA, means certain scenarios in which MoneyTips has shared personal information with third parties or Third Party Partners, in exchange for valuable consideration, and in Virginia would mean MoneyTips’ exchange of personal data for monetary consideration with a non-affiliated third party.

Under California’s definition, we “sell” personal information for the following commercial purposes: to enable Third Party Partners and certain other third parties to use your information in accordance with their privacy policies. We “sell” the following categories of personal information to the following categories of third parties:

Category of Personal InformationCategories of Third Parties

Inferences Drawn From Other Personal InformationThird Party Partners and other third parties.

We do not sell personal information under Virginia’s definition of “sell.” 

Right to Opt-Out of Selling

In California, you have the right to opt out of the “sales” described above at any time by visiting our Do Not Sell My Personal Information webpage. We do not knowingly sell or share personal information about consumers under the age of 16.

California Sharing Of Personal Information and Other State’s Targeted Advertising

The CPRA requires that we notify you if we “Share” your personal information with third parties.  For purposes of the CPRA, “Sharing” means that we make available or otherwise disclose your information to third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising.  Further, “cross-context behavioral advertising” means the targeting of advertising to you based on your personal information obtained from your activity across businesses, websites, apps, and services other than our Services.

Similarly, Virginia’s privacy law requires that we notify you if we use your information for Targeted Advertising.  Targeted Advertising means displaying advertisements to you where the advertisement is selected based on personal information obtained from your activities over time and across nonaffiliated websites or online applications to predict your preferences or interests

Accordingly, we “Share” and use your information for Targeted Advertising.  Specifically we share your identifiers and internet or other network activity with our advertising partners.

You have the right to opt out of sharingor Targeted Advertising at any time by accessing our Do Not Share My Personal Information.
