This policy applies only to Virginia residents and supplements our general privacy policy (available here) with details on our practices presented in a way the state requires. We hope this helps you understand what personal data we are collecting and how we use that information. Throughout this policy, you will see us refer to “personal data.” This means, at a general level, information that describes, identifies, or relates to you or your household.

Collection and use of personal data

We collect the personal data identified in our general privacy policy and use it for our operational purposes and other purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. Some of that information may be deemed “sensitive” under Virginia law. We use personal data for the following purposes:

• Making predictions about audiences with similar characteristics as to how likely the group would be to purchase a certain product or support a specific political candidate.
• Undertaking internal research to develop new products and services and to improve our existing products and services.
• For our internal operations, such as auditing, analyzing trends, operating our websites, and exercising/defending legal claims.
• To comply with our legal obligations, including compliance obligations and cooperating with law enforcement.

Your rights under Virginia law

If you are a Virginia resident and you want to submit a request to us regarding your California rights, you can fill out the webform here, contact us at [email protected], or call us at 1-866-498-2784. You do not have to create an account with us to submit a request.

We can only respond to your request if it is verifiable. This means we are obligated to take reasonable steps to verify your identity and your right to access the information you request. In order to verify your identity, please provide us with your name, address, and telephone number when submitting a request. We will only use information collected in this manner for the verification process and not for any other purpose.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
