We do not “sell” or “share” the Personal Data covered by this Policy and have not done so in the twelve months prior to the effective date of this Policy.  Consequently, we do not have a Do Not Sell My Info-functionality on the Site.

Sensitive personal information may include, for example, government-issued identification number, information relating to a person's race or ethnic origin, political opinions or religious beliefs, physical or mental health or condition, sexual orientation, or trade union membership. It may include information about an individual's criminal offenses or convictions, as well as any other information deemed sensitive under applicable data protection laws.

    The CPPA provides consumers with the “right to limit” the use of their sensitive personal information to certain business purposes.  Salsify does not request sensitive personal information in connection with the use of its Sites.

    (iv) How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals

    Salsify does not track Site users over time and across third party websites to provide targeted advertising. Accordingly, we do not currently respond or take any action with respect to web browser "do not track" signals or other mechanisms that provide consumers the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of Personal Data about an individual consumer's online activities over time and across third-party web sites or online services.
