  • Deidentified data that cannot reasonably be used to infer information about, or otherwise be linked to, an identified or identifiable individual, or a device linked to such an individual.
  • Publicly available information that is lawfully made available from federal, state, or local government records and that we have a reasonable basis to believe a consumer has lawfully made available to the general public.
  • Information about an individual acting in a commercial or employment context or as an employee, owner, director, officer or contractor of a company, partnership, sole proprietorship, nonprofit or government agency whose communications or transactions with the controller occur solely within the context of that individual's role with the company, partnership, sole proprietorship, nonprofit or government agency .

We process the categories of personal data further described in the “Types of information we collect” section of the Privacy Policy and as shown in the table below.
