    Cookies. Most browsers let you remove and/or stop accepting cookies from the websites you visit. To do this, follow the instructions in your browser’s settings. Many browsers accept cookies by default until you change your settings. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all functionality of the Service may not work properly.

    • Browser settings. Blocking third party cookies in your browser settings using or ad-blocking browser plug-ins/extensions. 

    • Mobile device settings. Using your mobile device settings to limit use of the advertising ID associated with your mobile device for interest-based advertising purposes. 

    • Platform settings. Using Google’s and Facebook’s interest-based advertising opt-out features:

    Important Information for California Residents 

    This section applies only to California residents. It describes how we collect, use and share Personal Information of California residents in operating our business, and their rights with respect to that Personal Information. For purposes of this section, “Personal Information” has the meaning given in the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) but does not include information exempted from the scope of the CCPA. 

    Your California privacy rights. As a California resident, you have the rights listed below. However, these rights are not absolute, and in certain cases we may decline your request as permitted by law. 

    • Information. You can request the following information about how we have collected and used your Personal Information during the past 12 months: o The categories of Personal Information that we have collected.

    • The categories of sources from which we collected Personal Information.

    • The business or commercial purpose for collecting and/or selling Personal Information.

    • The categories of third parties with whom we share Personal Information.

    • The categories of third parties to whom the Personal Information was sold or disclosed for a business purpose.

    • The business or commercial purpose for collecting and/or selling Personal Information.

    • Access. You can request a copy of the Personal Information that we have collected about you during the past 12 months.

    • Deletion. You can ask us to delete the Personal Information that we have collected from you.

    • Nondiscrimination. You are entitled to exercise the rights described above free from discrimination. This means that we will not penalize you for exercising your rights by

      • taking actions such as denying you services; increasing the price/rate of services; decreasing service quality; or suggesting that we may penalize you as described above for exercising your rights.

      • Opt-out of sales. If we sell your Personal Information, you can opt-out. In addition, if you direct us not to sell your Personal Information, we will consider it a request pursuant to California’s “Shine the Light” law to stop sharing your personal information covered by that law with third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

      How to exercise your rights 

      You may exercise your California privacy rights described above as follows: 

      • Right to information, access and deletion. You can request to exercise your information, access and deletion rights by: 

      o visiting www.aniline.io/contact 

      o emailing legal@aniline.io 

      • Right to opt-out of the “sale” of your Personal Information. We do not sell your Personal Information in the conventional sense (i.e., for money). However, like many companies, we use services that help deliver interest-based ads to you. California law classifies our use of these services as a “sale” of your Personal Information to the companies that provide the services. This is because we allow them to collect information from our website users (e.g., online identifiers and browsing activity) so they can help serve ads more likely to interest you.) You can request to opt-out out of this “sale” of your personal information here: Do Not Sell My Personal Information. 

      We reserve the right to confirm your California residence to process your requests and will need to confirm your identity to process your requests to exercise your information, access or deletion rights. As part of this process, government-identification or verified statements may be required. Consistent with California law, you may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. In order to designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf, you must provide a valid power of attorney, the requester’s valid government-issued identification, and the authorized agent’s valid government-issued identification. We cannot process your request if you do not provide us with sufficient detail to allow us to understand and respond to it.
