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 ("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 Notice, together with our Privacy Policy, applies to you.

We may update this Notice from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the Last Updated date above. If we make material changes, we will provide you with additional notice (such as by adding a statement to our websites and mobile apps or sending you a notification). We encourage you to review this Notice regularly to stay informed about our information practices and the choices available to you.
