Third party websites linked to or from our Services may have information practices different from ours. You should consult the other websites' privacy policies because we have no control over information that is submitted to, or collected by, these third parties. The inclusion of a link to a third party website does not imply an endorsement of the website by us or any association with the third party website's operators.

We value your privacy and do not sell your Personal Information for monetary consideration. We may share or disclose information that we collected about you or that you provided to us, including your Personal Information, as described in this Privacy Policy, as follows:
When we use service providers to perform business functions on our behalf, including third party vendors, we require them through contracts to treat your information confidentially and to only use your information for the express purpose of providing the specific business functions for us. We prohibit the sale or transfer of your Personal Information to non-affiliated entities for their use without giving you the opportunity to opt-out. We do not, however, have control over such third parties' handling practices and are not responsible for any failure of such third parties to adhere to this Privacy Policy.

Protecting children's privacy is especially important to us. You must be 18 years of age or older to order and receive the Services. No one under the age of 16 may provide information to or on the website. If, however, you authorize a child to use the Services by providing them a device associated with your account, any information associated with such use will be treated as your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We do not knowingly or proactively ask for or collect information from any person under the age of 16.

If you are a parent, guardian or other caretaker and think your child under 16 has provided us with information, please contact us at customerservice@broadbandsearch.net.
8. How We Protect the Security of Your Information
We have implemented an information security program that contains administrative, technical, and physical controls that are designed to safeguard your information, including your Personal Information. We use industry standards to secure your information when it is being collected and transmitted over the Internet, as well as firewalls, security monitoring, encryption, and intrusion detection software. Although we cannot guarantee that our information security program will prevent every unauthorized attempt to access, use, or disclose your information, we maintain security and incident response practices to handle incidents involving unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of your information.
Under our practices and policies, access to Personal Information is authorized only for our employees, service providers, and business partners who have a business need for such access, and records are retained in accordance with applicable laws. Our employees, service providers, and business partners are trained on the importance of protecting privacy and on the proper access to, use of, and disclosure of Personal Information.
9. How to Access and Update Your Information
You have the ability to update your information by calling our Customer Service. To contact Customer Service via telephone, go to Broadbandsearch.net.

10. Managing Your Information Choices
Promotional, Marketing Communications from Us: You may exercise your option to opt out of receiving email marketing communications from us by clicking the links under communications preferences at the bottom of the email marketing communications. You may also contact Customer Service via telephone regarding your opt in or opt out choices. We generally respond to such requests within 48 hours of receiving a request, but it may take up to 30 days depending on the volume of requests we receive. Your opt out choices will remain in effect until you change them.
We will continue to send you transaction confirmation emails and other Services-related announcements when it is necessary to do so. For instance, if any of our Services are temporarily suspended for maintenance, we might send you an email. Generally, you may not opt out of these communications, which are not promotional in nature.
You may modify your contact preferences regarding any marketing communications sent by us using automated or manually dialed calls, text messages, and pre-recorded messages by calling Customer Service. You may also text STOP in response to any text message from us to stop receiving text messages from us.

Targeted Advertising: We use and work with a variety of advertising networks and Ad Partners that customize and serve third party advertisements or other content on our website. The servers of these advertising networks place and access cookies and other similar technologies in browsers to collect information about your visits to the Services in order to serve relevant ads. Information collected via the data collection technologies described in this section may be linked to other information about you and may be considered Personal Information. We do not control Ad Partners' data collection technologies or their use of your information to serve interest-based advertising. However, such Ad Partners may provide you with ways to opt out of having your information collected or used in this way. For example, we share information, such as your IP address or information about your browser or operating system, when you use our Services with LiveRamp, an Ad Partner, which uses it to return an online identification code to be used in online, in-app, and cross-channel advertising.

We may disclose your Personal Information for a business purpose with certain third parties (see Section 6 in our Privacy Policy for a list of the types of third parties) in order to provide you with the requested Services. In the preceding twelve (12) months, we may have disclosed Personal Information for a business purpose with our service providers and business partners, including but not limited to the following categories:
We do not sell your Personal Information for a commercial purpose to third parties in exchange for money as the term is traditionally understood. However, California law may treat certain sharing of information for cross-context behavioral advertising as a "sale." If you have seen ads on our Services in the past twelve (12) months, then under California law the following categories of Personal Information might have been "sold" or "shared" with our third party Ad Partners:
Your CCPA Rights and Choices
The CCPA provides consumers with specific rights regarding their Personal Information. This section describes your CCPA rights that are in addition to those discussed in our Privacy Policy, and explains how to exercise those rights.
Right to Know
You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your Personal Information over the past twelve (12) months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:
You may only make a verifiable consumer request for exercising your Right to Know twice within a 12-month period.
Right to Delete
You have the right to request that we delete the Personal Information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers and third party partners to delete) your Personal Information from our records, unless an exception applies. Following a verified deletion request, we will retain a record of your request to ensure that we do not re-insert your information into our systems. This record allows us to comply with our legal obligation to you.
Right to Opt-Out of Personal Information Sales or Sharing
You have the right to direct us not to sell or share your Personal Information at any time in accordance with law. We provide you with the opportunity to "opt-out" of having your Personal Information used for certain purposes when we ask you for that information. You may also decline to provide your Personal Information to us and/or refuse cookies in your browser, although some of our features and Services may not function properly as a result.
To exercise your right to opt-out, please submit a request by emailing us at customerservice@broadbandsearch.net. Alternatively, please visit our Do Not Sell My Personal Information webpage for more information on how you can opt-out of sales or sharing of your Personal Information, including your right to opt-out of sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising. We will only use the Personal Information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request. Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to reauthorize sales or sharing of your Personal Information.
How to Exercise Your Right to Know and Right to Delete
To exercise the Right to Know and Right to Delete as described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request by emailing us at customerservice@broadbandsearch.net. Only you, or a person that you have authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.
If you are making a Right to Know or Right to Delete request as an authorized agent on behalf of a California resident, we require that you submit a notarized permission form to customerservice@broadbandsearch.net. The permission form must be signed by the individual for whom you are making the request and by you.
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or your authority to make the request. If we cannot verify the identity of the person making the request to a reasonable degree of certainty, we will deny the request and inform you of the reasons. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.
If we suspect fraudulent or malicious activity, we will not comply with your Right to Know or Right to Delete requests until further verification procedures determine that your request is authentic. We will not disclose through a verifiable consumer request any Social Security number, driver's license number or other government-issued identification number, financial account number, any health insurance or medical identification number, an account password, any security questions and answers, or unique biometric data.
Response Timing and Format
We will endeavor to respond to your Right to Know and Right to Delete requests within 45 days of our receipt of your request. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to your account. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your verifiable consumer request. If we are unable to comply with your request, we will explain the basis for our denial.
We will not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
Non-Discrimination Notice
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights under law or in our Privacy Policy.
Changes to the Supplemental Notice
We reserve the right to amend this Supplemental Notice at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes, we will post the updated Supplemental Notice on our website and update the effective date. Your continued use of our website and our Services following posting of changes to this Supplemental Notice constitutes your acceptance of such changes.
Our Contact Information
Please contact us if you have any questions about our Privacy Policy, this Supplemental Notice, or the ways in which you may exercise your rights under the CCPA, at customerservice@broadbandsearch.net or Broadbandsearch.net, Attn: Legal Department, 980 Hammond Drive NE, Suite 400, Atlanta, Georgia 30328.
