B. Business Transactions

In the event of a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, financing transaction, or other transfer of business operations involving the Company, PII held by the Company may be disclosed or transferred as part of that transaction. The Company will make reasonable efforts to ensure that any successor entity continues to protect PII in a manner consistent with this Policy.

The Company reserves the right and may be legally required to disclose PII to governmental authorities, law enforcement agencies, or intelligence agencies pursuant to a court order, subpoena, regulatory inquiry, or other lawful legal process. The Company cooperates with law enforcement in identifying individuals who use the Services for unlawful purposes and reserves the right to report activities it reasonably believes to be unlawful or in violation of applicable law or these Terms.

VI. Storage and Security of Personally Identifiable Information

PII collected by the Company is stored in secure systems consistent with current industry standards. Access to PII is restricted to a limited number of authorized employees and contractors who require such access for legitimate operational purposes and who are subject to confidentiality obligations. The Company maintains and audits its security systems and processes on a regular basis.

The Company employs encryption protocols and other commercially reasonable technical and administrative safeguards to protect PII transmitted over the Internet and stored within its systems. Notwithstanding these measures, no electronic communication or database system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. The Company cannot warrant or guarantee that its systems will be free from unauthorized access, errors, tampering, or breaches, and shall not be liable to Visitors or Authorized Customers for any such occurrences to the extent permitted by applicable law.

B. Deletion and Deactivation

Visitors and Authorized Customers may request the deletion or deactivation of their PII from the Company's active database by contacting the Company using the information provided above. The Company will also endeavor to direct third-party service providers that have received PII from the Company to delete or deactivate such information as applicable. Please be advised that due to data backup procedures and records-retention obligations, it may be technically impracticable to delete all instances of a user's PII. Where full deletion is not technically feasible, the Company will functionally deactivate the relevant PII such that it is no longer accessible for operational use. The Company will not sell, transfer, or disclose deactivated PII to any third party outside its business operations.

C. Non-Discrimination

The Company does not and shall not discriminate against any Visitor or Authorized Customer for exercising any right afforded to them under this Policy or applicable privacy law. Prohibited discriminatory practices include, without limitation, denying goods or services, charging differential prices or rates, or providing a lower quality of service based solely on the exercise of privacy rights. The Company reserves the right, however, to offer differentiated pricing or services where such differences are directly and reasonably related to the value of the consumer's data as permitted by applicable law.

• Right to Correct: The right to request correction of inaccurate PII maintained by the Company.

• Right to Opt-Out: The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of PII for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes. The Company does not sell PII for monetary consideration; however, certain data sharing arrangements may constitute a "share" under the CCPA/CPRA and are subject to this opt-out right.

• Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information: The right to direct the Company to limit its use of sensitive PII to purposes permitted under the CCPA/CPRA.
