LAST UPDATED: September 13, 2023

This Privacy Notice for California residents supplements the UCI Mountain Bike Word Series Privacy Notice. This Notice applies to website visitors, app users, and customers in California. This Notice gives California residents additional information about our information collection and use practices required by the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), and also provides California residents with specific privacy rights.

Information About the Personal Information we Collect

This following chart provides information about the categories of personal information that we collect, the purposes for which we use the information, the sources of the information, and the categories of third parties to whom we disclose the information for business purposes.

California Privacy Rights

California law allows you to make certain requests about your “personal information” (as such terms are defined under applicable law). Specifically, you may be permitted to request us to:

• Inform you about the categories of personal information we collect or disclose about you; the categories of
  sources of such information, the business or commercial purpose for collecting your personal information, and
  the categories of third parties with whom we disclose personal information;

• Provide access to and/or a copy of certain personal information we hold about you;

• Delete certain personal information we have about you; 

• Opt out of the sale of your personal information;

• Opt out of the processing of your personal information for targeted advertising purposes;

• Request correction of your personal information; and

• Provide you with information about the financial incentives that we offer to you, if any.

Please note that certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. For example, we need certain information in order to provide the Services to you.

Verification: We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to a request, which may include, at a minimum, depending on the sensitivity of the information you are requesting and the type of request you are making, verifying your name, e-mail address, and physical address.

You may also be permitted to designate an authorized agent to submit certain requests on your behalf. In order for an authorized agent to be verified, you must provide the authorized agent with signed, written permission to make such requests or a power of attorney. We may also follow up with you to verify your identity before processing the authorized agent’s request.  If we deny your request in whole or in part, you may have the right to appeal the decision.  In such circumstances, we will provide you with information regarding the appeals process.

How to Exercise these Rights:  If you would like further information regarding your legal rights under applicable law or would like to exercise them, please follow the instructions below.

• Right to Know, Access, Correction and Deletion Requests: to submit these requests, please contact our Privacy Office at wbdprivacy@wbd.com, or, if you prefer, you may contact us at the following toll-free phone number to make your request: +1-866-324-3637. Please note that we may require you to provide appropriate documentation to support your correction request, which we will use only for purposes of actioning your request.

• Opt Out of “Sale” of Personal Information or Processing of Personal Information for “targeted advertising”:  Depending on your jurisdiction of residence, you may have the ability to opt out of the “sale” of your personal information to third parties or the processing of your personal information for “targeted advertising” purposes (as such terms are defined under applicable law).  Please click the link labeled “Do not Sell or Share My Personal Information” in the footer or settings menu of our Services to exercise these choices.

Notice of Right to Opt-Out of Sale and Sharing of Personal Information

California residents may opt out of the “sale” of their personal information. Under the CCPA, “sale” is broadly defined to mean the disclosure of personal information to third parties who are not acting as our service providers or who are otherwise not restricted from using data only on our behalf or pursuant to an applicable CCPA exception.

In some circumstances, we may disclose certain of your information to third parties to provide you with offers, promotions, and opportunities that may be of interest to you, which may be considered a “sale” under the CCPA. Under the CCPA, “sale” may also include allowing third parties to “collect” certain information, such as IP address, and/or browsing behavior, through cookies and similar technologies, to deliver targeted advertising on the Services or other services. Advertising, including targeted advertising, enables us to provide you certain content for free and allows us to provide you offers relevant to you.

The CCPA also allows California residents to opt out of the “sharing” of their personal information for “cross-context behavioral advertising.”  Under the CCPA, this activity is defined as the targeting of advertising to a consumer based on that consumer’s personal information obtained from the consumer’s activity across websites.  We “share” information for these purposes to provide more relevant and tailored advertising to you regarding our Services and the services of our partners.

Over the last 12 months, we have sold and/or shared the following categories of personal information to the following categories of third parties:

If you would like to opt out of our use of your information for such purposes that are considered a “sale” or “sharing” under California law, you may do so by clicking the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in the footers or app settings menus of our Services. Please note that we do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of minors under 16 years of age without legally-required affirmative authorization.

Please note that we respond to and abide by browser-based opt-out preference signals.  Any opt out preferences you have exercised through these methods will only to the browser on which you made them. The CCPA further provides you with the right to not be discriminated against (as provided for in applicable law) for exercising your access, deletion or sale/sharing opt out rights.  

The CCPA also allows you to limit the use or disclosure of your “sensitive personal information” (as defined in the CCPA) if your sensitive personal information is used for certain purposes.  Please note that we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information other than for purposes for which you cannot opt out under the CCPA.

Retention of Your Personal Information

Please see the “Data Retention” section of our Privacy Notice for information. 

California “Shine the Light” Disclosure

If a company shares “personal information” (as defined in California’s “Shine the Light” law, Civil Code § 1798.83) with third parties for their direct marketing purposes (e.g., to send offers and information that may be of interest to you), California law requires either providing a mechanism by which consumers can obtain more information about such sharing over the prior calendar year, or providing a mechanism by which consumers can opt out of such sharing. As discussed above, we provide an opt out for this sharing. If you are a California resident and would like to opt out of sharing pursuant to this law, please use the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” in the footers or app settings menus of our Services.
