Categories of personal information that we collect and disclose. Our collection, use and disclosure of personal information about a California resident will vary depending upon the circumstances and nature of our interactions or relationship with such resident. The list below sets out generally, the categories of personal information (as defined by the CCPA) about California residents that we collect, sell, and disclose to others for a business purpose.

Rights of California residents. California law grants California residents, certain rights and imposes restrictions on particular business practices as set forth below.
