If you disable cookies, your ability to use some features of the Website may be limited. For mobile devices, you may be able to manage certain cookies using your built-in mobile device settings and controls. Any choices concerning cookies are browser and/or device specific.

Some of these cookies may be placed by third-party service providers to help determine the effectiveness of our Website or email communications. The use of cookies by third-party service providers is within their control and not ours. We do not control their websites or their policies and practices regarding your Personal Information, and you should be aware that different rules might apply to the collection, use or disclosure of your Personal Information by third-parties in connection with their advertisements or promotions and other sites you encounter on the Internet. This Privacy Policy does not cover any use of Personal Information that a third-party service provider may directly collect from you, and we do not undertake to confirm, investigate, or police their practices.

LINKED THIRD-PARTY SITES

We may provide links to other third-party websites through the Services solely as a convenience to you. However, such linking does not mean, and should not be interpreted to mean, that PSCU endorses, is affiliated with or makes any representations concerning such third-party websites. PSCU neither reviews, controls, nor is responsible for these third-party sites or any content therein. By using such links, you will leave the Website and will no longer be accessing the Services. If you decide to access any of the third-party sites linked to the Services, you do so entirely at your own risk. PSCU shall not be liable for any consequences arising from use of any third-party websites to which the Services link.

DATA RETENTION

How long we retain your Personal Information depends on the context in which, and purposes for which, we collected it. We generally retain Personal Information for as long as necessary for achieving the purposes for which it was collected or processed unless a different retention period is required by applicable law.

RIGHTS RELATED TO YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Depending on where you live and the types of Personal Information at issue, you may have certain rights with respect to your Personal Information. For example, under applicable state laws, including those in the California, you may have the rights listed below. Please note that many of these rights are subject to exceptions and limitations. For example, certain laws generally do not apply to Personal Information that you provide to us while acting in your professional capacity.

If you choose to assert any of these rights available under applicable laws, we will respond within the time period prescribed by applicable law. Please note that many of the above rights are subject to exceptions and limitations. If we are not able to provide the requested information or make the change you requested, you will be provided with the reasons for such decisions. You may be entitled to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority or your state Attorney General's Office.

Your rights and our responses may vary based on your state of residency. Please note that you may be located in a jurisdiction where we are not obligated, or are unable, to fulfill a request. In such a case, your request may not be fulfilled.

We may require use of your Personal Information to provide access to the Services. Therefore, when you exercise your deletion right, in particular, you may lose access to certain aspects of the Services that require your Personal Information.

Rights Request and Verification Process

Only you, or a person that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information. If you designate an authorized agent to submit a request to exercise certain privacy rights on your behalf, we will require verification that you provided the authorized agent permission to make a request on your behalf. Our verification processes may vary and, for example, could require your provision of a copy of the signed permission you have given to the authorized agent to submit the request on your behalf and verify your own identity directly with us.

Except where otherwise provided under applicable law, you may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request should:

Our verification process may also include a request for additional information to confirm your identity or your authorized agent's identity (such as your name, email address and date of birth) or to obtain proof that you have given your authorized agent permission to act on your behalf. If our verification process is successful, we will respond to your request within the time and in the manner required by applicable law. If we cannot validate the identity of you and/or your authorized agent or obtain proof that you have given your authorized agent permission to act on your behalf, we will attempt to contact you to inform you.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that the Personal Information relates to you. We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. However, if you do not select an option we generally will respond by email unless required by other applicable law. You still always have the option to request a written response that can be received by U.S. Mail. Any information we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request's receipt. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the Personal Information from one entity to another entity without hindrance, such as by electronic mail communication. Further, if you would like to appeal any decision we make about your request, you may contact us as stated in the "Contact Information" section below.

To exercise these rights, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:
