If you are a consumer in a state that provides consumer rights, please be advised that Company is not a “business” or “controller” as that term is defined under applicable state laws and therefore does not afford consumers these rights with respect to their Personal Information.  Regardless, all Personal Information will be processed in accordance with this Policy.
