Categories of Personal Information Sold. The CCPA defines a “sale” broadly as to include disclosing or making available personal information to a third-party in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration. While we do not disclose personal information to third parties in exchange for monetary compensation from such third parties, we may “sell” certain categories of personal information as defined by the CCPA. For example, we may share Identifiers, Usage Data, Customer Records, Commercial Information and Profiles with our affiliates and subsidiary companies (e.g., so that they may improve or enhance their own records and for other purposes).
