The States of Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia (collectively, the “Regulated States”) have adopted Consumer Data Protection Acts (“CDPA”) that generally define a “consumer” as a natural person who is a resident of the respective state acting only in an individual or household context. The Regulated States’ CDPAs do not include a natural person acting in a commercial or employment context within the definition of a “consumer.” Similarly, “Personal Information” generally means any information that is linked or reasonably linkable to an identified or identifiable natural person but does not include de-identified data or publicly available information. “Sale of Personal Information” means the exchange of Personal Information for monetary consideration. If this definition of “consumer” applies to you, we must adhere to certain rights and obligations regarding your Personal Information.
