IV. Opt-Out – your choices
You have the right to request that we do not sell your personal information to Advertisers.
IF YOU LIVE IN CALIFORNIA – When you first come to our Site, you will be given the option to click on a “Do Not Sell My Information” button on our landing page. If you click this button, we will not sell your identifiable personal information to Advertisers. We may still sell de-identified information about you, but the Advertisers will not be able to trace this information back to you or use it to market their products and services specifically to you. To opt-out, you may submit your request through our webform by clicking here, or submit a general privacy request in compliance with CCPA by clicking here; or you may send us an email to support@niche.com and putting the words “remove my name” in the subject line of your email, and a request to opt-out in the body of the email.
NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE – If you do not initially opt-out or at some point after giving us your personally identifiable information you later decide to limit the sale of your information to our third party Advertisers, or you no longer desire to continue to receive additional information from us about Niche and our Advertisers, you may “opt out” by submitting your request through our webform by clicking here, or by emailing us at support@niche.com and putting the words “remove my name” in the subject line of your email and a request to opt-out in the body of the email. Please note however that an Advertiser may have saved a copy of your account and account-related information from before you opted out. In the case of our email newsletters, you may opt out by clicking on the “opt out” link at the end of each email. If you agree to receive autodialed or pre-recorded calls and/or text messages from an Advertiser and later wish to opt-out, you should follow the direction in such call(s) or text message(s) or contact the school or other Advertiser directly.
Please note, you cannot opt out of our sharing of your personal information with our Processors or Business Partners, or our sharing of deidentified information, or your personal information as required by law or legitimate business interests, as described in Sections III.
