    California Privacy Rights

    Residents of the State of California, under California Civil Code § 1798.83, have the right to request from companies conducting business in California a list of all third parties to which the company has disclosed personal information during the preceding year for direct marketing purposes.

    Alternatively, the law provides that if the company has a privacy policy that gives either an opt-out or opt-in choice for use of your personal information by third parties (such as advertisers) for marketing purposes, the company may instead provide you with information on how to exercise your disclosure choice options.

    Acrossio qualifies for the alternative option. We have a comprehensive privacy statement, and confirm that will not send your personal information to third parties for direct marketing purposes.

    If you are a California resident and request information or have questions about your rights, please use our contact form at this website https://www.acrossio.com/contact
