Automatic Decision-Making

If you are a resident of the EEA, you may have the right to object to processing based solely on automated decision-making, including profiling, where that decision has a legal effect on you or otherwise significantly affects you.

Examples may include:

  • Temporary denial or restriction of IP addresses associated with repeated failed transactions
  • Temporary restriction of payment cards associated with IP addresses identified as potentially fraudulent

Such restrictions are generally temporary.


Selling Personal Information

The treatment of Personal Information under applicable privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), depends on how information is collected, used, and shared by the Site and its advertising or service partners.

Where required by applicable law, customers may have rights regarding the sale or sharing of their Personal Information.
