U.S. State Privacy Notice

Effective Date: February 21, 2024

California, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and Virginia have enacted consumer privacy laws that grant their residents certain rights and require additional disclosures. This U.S. State Privacy Notice ("State Law Notice") addresses these state-specific requirements and also serves as our California notice at collection.

If you are a resident of one of the states listed above, this State Law Notice, together with our Privacy Notice, applies to you.

We may update this State Law Notice from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the Effective Date above and, in some cases, we may provide you with more prominent notice (for example, by adding a statement to our homepage or sending you a notification), such as in connection with making material changes to this State Law Notice. We encourage you to review this State Law Notice regularly to stay informed about our information practices and the choices available to you.
