Sale of Personal Information.

While we do not share your identifying information with third parties in exchange for money, as described above in “Third-Party Advertising and Analytics Services,” in the past 12 months, we have allowed our advertising partners to use cookies and other technologies to collect identifiers, commercial information, and internet or other electronic network activity information in order to show advertisements that are targeted to your interests. You can opt out of these “sales” .

Subject to certain limitations, the CCPA provides California consumers the right to request to know more details about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we collect, to delete their personal information, to opt out of any “sales” that may be occurring, and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. California consumers may make a rights request by calling 858-324-4111 or visiting this page (https://us.ecoatm.com/contact-us/). We will verify your request by asking you to provide identifying information and information related to your recent interactions with us. If you would like to use an authorized agent to exercise your rights, we may request evidence that you have provided such agent with power of attorney or that the agent otherwise has valid written authority to submit requests on your behalf. We will not discriminate against you if you exercise your rights under the CCPA.
