We do not “sell” consumer data as most people would understand the term “sell”. However, the CCPA defines the “sale” of information broadly to include activities we believe most people would understand as “information sharing”. For example, the CCPA defines “sell,” “selling,” “sale,” or “sold,” as selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a consumer’s personal information by the business to another business or a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration. The term “other valuable consideration” is not defined in the CCPA. Notwithstanding that, we do not believe we “sell” consumer data as the term “sell” is defined under the CCPA. However, we do share consumer data with our affiliates, third party service providers, advertising partners and marketing partners as explained above in this Further Disclosures Under the CCPA section. To the extent those activities may constitute a “sale”, we have shared such data with such parties the past twelve (12) months and anticipate continuing to share such data with the same parties in the next twelve (12) months. If our data sharing practices change, we will update this policy to reflect that change.

Our customers who are Nevada residents have the right at any time to request that we do not sell the following information regarding them to third parties:
(1) the customer’s first and last name;
(2) the customer’s physical address which includes the name of a street and the name of a city or town;
(3) the customer’s e-mail address;
(4) the customer’s telephone number;
(5) the customer’s social security number;
(6) the customer’s identifier that allows a specific person to be contacted; or
(7) any other information concerning a customer collected from the customer through our Internet website or online service and maintained in combination with an identifier in a form that makes the information personally identifiable.
To exercise your right to opt out of the sale of Covered Information under Nevada law, please contact us and be ready to provide your name, address, and email. We may ask for other information in order to confirm your identity. Any information we receive from you in order to confirm your identity will solely be used for such verification purposes.

With respect to personal data of individuals from the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the United Kingdom (“UK”) or Switzerland, our legal basis for collecting and using the personal data will depend on the personal data concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. EGL will generally collect personal data from you or a third party only where: (a) we have your consent to do so, (b) where we need the personal data to perform a contract with you (e.g. to deliver the services you have requested), or (c) where the processing is in our or a third party’s legitimate interests (and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms).

We are a global company. Information about you may be stored and processed in the European Economic Area, the United States or any other country in which EGL or agents or contractors maintain facilities, and by accessing our websites and using our mobile apps, software and services, you consent to the transfer of your information outside of your country. Such countries may have laws which are different, and potentially not as protective as the laws of your own country.

Whenever we share personal data originating in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, we will rely on lawful measures to transfer that data, such as the Privacy Shield or the EU standard contractual clauses. If you reside in the EEA, UK or other regions with laws governing data collection and use, please note that you are agreeing to the transfer of your personal data to the United States and other jurisdictions in which we operate. By providing your personal data, you consent to any transfer and processing in accordance with this Policy.

Our Service may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

We reserve the right to update or change our Privacy Policy at any time and you should check this Privacy Policy periodically. Your continued use of the Service after we post any modifications to the Privacy Policy on this page will constitute your acknowledgment of the modifications and your consent to abide and be bound by the modified Privacy Policy.

If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you either through the email address you have provided us, or by placing a prominent notice on our website.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us.
