This section describes how we collect, use, and disclose the personal information of California customers and the rights prescribed by the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). This notice does not apply to California residents in their capacity as Dearborn Labs or Clearcover job applicants, current and former employees, contractors of Dearborn Labs or Clearcover, and persons we interact with in their capacity of representing another business.

The CCPA defines personal information as "information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household." We collect personal information from multiple sources, including directly from you, service providers or other third party vendors, publicly available sources, or other businesses.

In the last 12 months, we collected and disclosed the following categories of personal information about California customers:

We may "share" personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes, as that term is defined under the CPRA. We may also disclose any or all of the categories of personal information collected for business purposes such as offering, developing, and maintaining products or services; completing transactions with individuals or other businesses; preventing fraud; for our everyday business operations; or as required or permitted by law. We do not sell your personal information and have not sold information about consumers in the preceding 12 months.

Personal information does not include information lawfully made available from governmental records or de-identified or aggregate customer information. We implement technical safeguards to prohibit re-identification of de-identified information about you. We also reserve the right to create or allow others to create aggregate customer information data sets by ensuring that individual customer identities have been removed and are not linked or reasonably linkable to any customer or household, including via a device. The CCPA does not require that such information be re-identified in response to a request made pursuant to the CCPA.

California residents have certain rights under the CCPA as amended by the CPRA to access, delete, correct, and limit the use of personal information, including those described below. You also have the right to opt out of the sharing of your personal information and to limit the use and disclosure of your sensitive personal information.
