CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

PRA is a not-for-profit organization and, as such, does not fall within the scope of the definition of "business" set forth in the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 ("CCPA"), and therefore is not subject to that law.

Although the CCPA does not apply to PRA, the below section voluntarily organizes the information found elsewhere in this Privacy Policy in a manner intended to be useful for California residents.

For California residents only, below is a summary of the "Personal Information" categories as identified and defined by the CCPA (see California Civil Code section 1798.140(o)) that we collect, the reason we collect this Personal Information, where we obtain the Personal Information, and the third parties with whom we may share your Personal Information.

As described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, we generally collect the following categories of Personal Information about you when you use our Services:

We generally do not collect education-related information. For more information about the Personal Information we collect and how we collect it, please refer to Sections 1 and 2, above.

We collect your Personal Information for the business purposes described in Section 3, above. The CCPA defines a "business purpose" as the use of Personal Information for the business's operational purposes, or other notified purposes, provided the use of Personal Information is reasonably necessary and proportionate to achieve the operational purpose for which the Personal Information was collected or another operational purpose that is compatible with the context in which the Personal Information was collected.

The categories of third parties with whom we may share your Personal Information are listed in Section 3, above.

Privacy Rights. If you are a California resident, then under the CCPA you have rights in relation to your Personal Information; however, your rights are subject to certain exceptions. For instance, businesses subject to the CCPA - which PRA is not - cannot disclose specific pieces of Personal Information if the disclosure would create a substantial, articulable, and unreasonable risk to the security of the Personal Information, your account, or the security of a business's network systems. Although PRA is not subject to the CCPA, we note that California residents generally benefit from the following rights:

In addition, the CCPA broadly defines "personal information" and "selling" such that sharing identifiers linked to you for a benefit may be considered a sale. We do not sell this Personal Information for monetary value. However, in 2019, we were sharing identifiers and inferences about you with our business partners in such a way that, under the CCPA, may be defined as selling.

California consumers may use the Digital Advertising Alliance's tool to send requests under the CCPA for a web browser to opt out of the sale of personal information by some or all of that framework's participating companies by accessing the DAA's tool here: https://www.privacyrights.info, or by downloading the DAA's AppChoices mobile application opt-out here: https://www.privacyrights.info/appchoices.

The AppChoices app is not limited to opt-outs for CCPA purposes and may be used by anyone to limit the collection of cross-app data for interest-based advertising purposes by participating DAA member companies.

Additional California Rights. Under California Civil Code Section 1798.83 (also known as the "Shine the Light" law), users of the Online Services who are residents of California may request certain information about our disclosure of personal data during the prior calendar year to third parties. If you are a California resident and wish to make this request, please send an email as described in the "Contact Us" section below with "California Shine the Light" in the subject line.


CHILDREN

The Online Services are not intended for children under the age of 13. We will not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If we learn that we have obtained any personally identifiable information about a child under age 13, we will delete that information.


SECURITY

We strive to use reasonable safeguards to help prevent loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure or modification of Personal Information provided or collected through the Online Services. However, no system is perfect or can guarantee that unauthorized access or theft might not occur.


RETENTION OF INFORMATION

Following termination or deactivation of any user account you may create, unless you request that your information be deleted by contacting us, we may retain your information for back-up, archival, legal and audit purposes, and to reactivate your account upon your request. In addition, we may retain and continue to use indefinitely all information contained in your communications to other users of the Online Services posted to public or semi-public areas of the Online Services after termination or deactivation of your user account.
