Your User Contributions are posted on and transmitted to others at your own risk. Please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.

California & Other U.S. State Privacy Rights
Under some U.S. state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (as amended by the California Consumer Privacy Rights Act) (CCPA), residents may have a right to:
- Access the categories and specific pieces of personal data Opto has collected, the categories of sources from which the personal data is collected, the business purpose(s) for collecting the personal data, and the categories of third parties with whom Opto has shared personal data, and obtain the personal data in a portable and, to the extent technically feasible, readily usable format;
- Delete personal data under certain circumstances;
- Correct personal data under certain circumstances; and
- Opt out of the "sale" of personal data or "sharing" of personal data for targeted advertising purposes. We do not sell your personal data in the conventional sense. However, like many companies, we may use advertising and analytics services that are intended to analyze your interactions with our website or app, based on information obtained from cookies or other trackers, including for delivering advertising to you (such as interest-based, targeted, or cross-context behavioral advertising). You can get more information and opt out of the use of cookies and other trackers on our website and app by clicking the Your Privacy Choices link, also on our homepage, and setting your preferences. You will need to set your preferences from each device and each web browser from which you wish to opt out. This feature uses a cookie to remember your preference, so if you clear all cookies from your browser, you will need to re-select your preferred settings. California and Connecticut residents may also set the Global Privacy Control (GPC) to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your Personal Information for targeted advertising for each participating browser system that you use. Opto does not have actual knowledge that it "sells" or "shares" the Personal Information of consumers under 18 years of age.

Opto will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights, which is further in line with your rights under state law.
Sensitive Information. Opto receives information that may be considered sensitive under some state laws, such as certain Account Information (e.g., financial information, log-in information). Opto processes sensitive Personal Information to provide Opto products and services, for product research and development, for authentication, integrity, security, and safety reasons, to communicate with you, for legal reasons, and with your consent. Opto does not use or disclose sensitive Personal Information (as defined under CCPA) for purposes of inferring characteristics about a consumer, or in any way that would require Opto to provide a right to limit under the CCPA. Under certain laws, residents may also be permitted to opt out of certain profiling relating to automated processing analyzing certain categories of an individual's information that would produce a legal or similarly significant effect. Opto does not engage in this type of profiling of individuals.
To exercise your rights, you can contact us using the contact details provided under the "Contact Information" heading below and submitting the required verifying information. To opt out of the use of cookies on our sites for interest-based advertising purposes, follow the instructions above.

These rights are not absolute, are subject to exceptions and limitations, and may not be afforded to residents of all states. In certain cases, we may decline requests to exercise these rights where permitted by law. We will need to verify your identity to process your access, deletion, and correction requests and reserve the right to confirm your state residency. To verify your identity, we may require you to log into your existing Opto account (if applicable), give a declaration as to your identity under penalty of perjury, and/or provide additional information, such as providing at least two pieces of Personal Information relating to your account (which will be compared to information we have, such as profile information) or as we otherwise may already have in our possession, such as your email address and phone number. We will verify your consumer request by comparing the information you provide to information already in our possession, and take additional steps to minimize the risk of fraud. You may designate an authorized agent to submit your verified consumer request by providing written permission and verifying your identity, or through proof of power of attorney.
California's Shine the Light Law
California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as "Shine The Light" law, permits California residents to annually request information regarding the disclosure of your Personal Information (if any) to third parties for the third parties' direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year.
