This section of the privacy policy provides information to California (“CA”) residents whose personal information is processed pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), whether through the Website or offline. It describes the categories of Personal Information that Untapped Cities, LLC collects, and the purposes for which that information is collected.

This section does not apply to Personal Information that is protected under federal financial privacy laws. Personal Information does not include information that is publicly available or that has been de-identified or aggregated.

Categories of Personal Information we collect

• Audio, electronic, or similar information;
• Other personal information, as described to you in this privacy policy, or otherwise at the point of collection; and
• Inferences drawn from any of the information identified above, including about your preferences.

Depending on your relationship with us, we may have collected each of the above categories of Personal Information about you during the preceding 12 months. In addition, we may have shared each of these categories of Personal Information with third parties during the preceding 12 months for the business purposes described below and in the rest of this Privacy Policy.

For each of these categories of Personal Information, please refer to the “Information Use and Sharing” section above for more detailed information regarding why we collect personal information, and the categories of third parties with whom we may share personal information.

Why we collect Personal Information

Depending on your relationship with us Depending on the nature of your relationship with us (e.g., Untapped New York reader, tour guest, or Insiders member), we may use information about you for our business purposes, including:

• To perform specific services that you have requested;
• To respond to your direct inquiries;
• For joint marketing with other companies;
• For our affiliates’ and partners’ everyday business purposes;

Your CA privacy rights

As a California resident, beginning after January 1, 2021, you may have certain rights over the Personal Information we have about you, depending on the type of relationship you have with us.

We may share Personal Information with our service providers, with third parties with whom we jointly offer products or services, with third parties from whom you request a product or service through us, in the context of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or other corporate transaction, or as otherwise permitted by the CCPA.

Pursuant to California Civil Code §1798.83, a California resident who has provided personal information to a business with which he/she has established a business relationship has the right to request from that business information about whether the business has disclosed personal information to any third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. In general, if the business has made such a disclosure of personal information, the business is required to provide a list of all third parties to whom such personal information was disclosed in the preceding calendar year, as well as a list of the categories of personal information that were disclosed, upon receipt of a request by a California resident. However, under the law, a business is not required to provide the above-described lists if the business adopts and discloses to the public (in its privacy policy) a policy of not disclosing personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes unless the customer first affirmatively agrees to the disclosure, as long as the business maintains and discloses this policy. Rather, the business may comply with the law by notifying the customer of his or her right to prevent disclosure of personal information and providing a cost free means to exercise that right. As noted above, we do not disclose such personal information to third parties for direct marketing purposes unless you affirmatively agree to such disclosure.

Modifications to this Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to change the terms, conditions, and notices in this Privacy Policy at any time for any reason.
