Opt Out of Sales, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising/Limit Use Of Sensitive Personal Information
We sell Identifiers relating to Donors to our Customers. In addition, as described in the Targeted Advertising and Analytics section above, we process personal information to serve you advertisements on non-Ripple On Impact properties, expand the reach and effectiveness of our own marketing campaigns, and allow certain third parties to use this information for their own marketing purposes. These activities may result in us selling or sharing Identifiers, Internet Activity Information, and Derived Information relating to Representatives with our Advertising Partners (including social media platforms) so our Advertising Partners can show ads that are targeted to your interests on other platforms. These activities may be considered targeted advertising under State Privacy Laws. We do not knowingly “sell” or “share” the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.
We also use information about Donors that may be “sensitive” under State Privacy Laws, like racial or ethnic background, to help identify Donors for our customers.
You have the right to (1) opt out of sharing, sales, and targeted advertising and (2) limit our use of sensitive personal information by filling out our web form behind the Personal Information Rights and Request Form link in the footer of our Website to opt out of “targeted advertising,” “sharing,” and “sales” or limit our use of your sensitive personal information.
