When We Sell or Share Your Information
We do not provide your information to third parties in exchange for money. We allow trusted partners to collect certain information about you when you interact with our website so that they can provide you targeted advertising based on your online interactions with us and others. Some states may also consider this practice as us “selling” or “sharing” your information. We may allow companies to collect the following categories of personal data for targeted advertising: Internet and Other Electronic Network Activity Information. Given that we limit our collection of data concerning minors, we do not have actual knowledge that we allowed those companies to collect information on anyone who is younger than 16 years old.
If you do not want us to sell or share your data, you can opt out by submitting a request using the process described in "Your Privacy Rights" below. Alternatively, you can rely on the GPC to tell us you wish to opt out of selling or sharing your data. We recognize the GPC for the browser sending the opt-out signal. (If you later access our website from a different browser without the GPC, your opt-out settings will not carry over.) The GPC comes in different flavors, which are often a browser add-on or setting, so we recommend following the instructions for your preferred variation. Once you have properly configured your GPC, we will automatically process it in a frictionless manner. In other words, we will not (1) charge you for using it, (2) change your experience with our services, or (3) display pop-ups or other notifications in response to your opt-out signal (except we may display some indicator acknowledging your request).
Your Privacy Rights
Our commitment to privacy includes going beyond what is required. In some countries and states, such as Europe, Colorado and California, the law grants you all of the below rights (subject to some limitations).
• Right to Know. You can ask us to give you information about our collection and use of your personal information. Specifically, you can request we provide you one or more of the following: the categories of personal information we collected about you; the categories of sources from which we collected your personal information; our purposes for collecting your personal information; the categories of third parties to whom we disclose your personal information; and the specific pieces of personal information we collected about you. You can also ask that we provide you a copy of your information in a commonly used, machine-readable format.
• Right to Delete. You can ask us to delete your personal information.
• Right to Correct. You can ask us to correct any inaccurate personal information that we have about you. Some information you can change yourself. You may review and change any personal information in your account profile and, where applicable, personal account preferences, stored in our system if you believe it may be out of date or incorrect.
• Right to Opt Out of Targeted Advertising (Sharing). You can ask us to not allow third parties to collect your information on our website for targeting advertisements based on your activity across multiple websites. (This concept is known as “targeted advertising” in most places and “sharing” in California.)
• Right to Opt Out of Sales. You can ask us to not sell your information. As noted above, we do not “sell” your information in the traditional sense (an exchange for money), but we do disclose it for targeted advertising—which some jurisdictions may consider a sale.
We will not discriminate against you if you exercise those rights. If you wish to exercise your rights,
you can contact us at 866-874-1969 or fill out the form here. You can also have an authorized agent submit a request on your behalf. If you choose to use an agent, and the agent does not have power of attorney under the California Probate Code, we cannot process the request until:
• The agent provides a copy of your signed permission authorizing the agent to make the request;
• You verify your identity directly with us; or
• You provide us direct confirmation that you provided the agent permission to submit the request.
If your authorized agent has a valid power of attorney under California Probate Code sections 4121 to 4130, we may request proof of the power of attorney instead of the foregoing.
Unless you are requesting to opt out of sales or targeted advertising, we must verify your identity before we honor your request. We verify your identity by trying to match the following information you provide to us with information we have about you:
• Contact information (such as name, email, phone number, and address)
• An indication of what AMN brands you have previously interacted with
If we are unable to verify your identity with the information you provide, we may deny your request or request additional information.
Sometimes we may be unable to fulfill your request. If you disagree with our decision, you can file an appeal by contacting us at [insert email or physical address]. In the subject line, please write: Data Subject Right Appeal – [Full Name]. The body of the email should include: (1) your name, (2) the date of the decision you are appealing, and (3) an explanation for why you disagree with that decision. We will contact you if we need more information.
