RIGHT TO CORRECT	You have the right to correct inaccurate personal information we maintain about you.
RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF SALE	You have the right to say no to the sale of personal information. The CCPA defines "sell" to mean selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a California resident's personal information to another business or a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration.
RIGHT TO LIMIT PROCESSING OF SENSITIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION	If we use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes other than those allowed by the CCPA and its regulations, the right to limit our use and disclosure.
RIGHT TO NON-DISCRIMINATON	You have the right to non-discrimination for exercising your CCPA rights. This means we cannot deny you goods or services, charge you different prices, or provide a different level of quality of goods or services just because you exercise your rights under the CCPA.
