HOW WE MAY SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH THIRD PARTIES
We may share aggregated and anonymized insights and reports about consumer and purchase behavior with clients, affiliates, partners, or other third parties for research, marketing, analysis and other purposes.
From time to time, we may share personal information related to your purchase or receipt information and/or survey responses with clients or other third parties for advertising, marketing research or analytics purposes (e.g., to help them better understand consumer preferences or segments, or serve more relevant advertising or measure advertising effectiveness) or to help us better understand the accuracy of such information or responses. In these cases, we limit the types of identifiers we may share (e.g., mobile ad ids, hashed emails, etc.) and restrict the ways in which third parties may use this data. We will only engage in this type of sharing if we have obtained your consent to do so or if we believe we have another appropriate legal basis to do so or are otherwise permitted to do so under applicable law.
We may share information we obtain with third party service providers or data processors that provide services on our behalf, such as data analytics and IT services. These third parties have agreed to confidentiality restrictions and have agreed to use any personal information we share with them, or which they collect on our behalf, solely for the purpose of providing the contracted service to us.
We may share information with government organizations and agencies, law enforcement and regulators (1) to comply with all applicable laws, regulations and rules, and requests of law enforcement, regulatory and other governmental agencies; (2) to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights; (3) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical or other harm or financial loss; or (4) in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity.
If, in future, we are acquired by or merged with another company, if substantially all of our assets are transferred to another company, or as part of a bankruptcy proceeding, we may disclose/transfer the information we have collected from you to the acquiring company.
In addition to the above, we may share personal information about you with others to the extent you consent to such sharing.
TRANSFERRING PERSONAL INFORMATION GLOBALLY
International data transfers
We may transfer to and store the personal information we collect in countries other than the country in which the personal information was originally collected in accordance with applicable law.

When we transfer personal information to recipients in other countries, we will protect the personal information as described in this Privacy Policy and comply with applicable legal requirements providing adequate protection for the transfer of personal information..
If you are located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or the UK we comply with applicable legal requirements providing adequate protection for the transfer of personal information to recipients in countries located outside the EEA or the UK respectively. In all such cases, we will only transfer your personal information if:
- The country to which the personal information will be transferred has been granted a European Commission or Information Commissioner’s Office adequacy decision;
- We have put in place appropriate safeguards in respect of the transfer, for example EU Standard Contractual Clauses; or

Sharing/Sale of Personal Information
As further described in our Privacy Policy under the heading “How We May Share Personal Information With Third Parties”, from time to time (including during the previous 12 months), we may share each of the above categories of personal information with third parties for the business purposes specified in the CCPA.
Under the CCPA, the term “sell” is broadly defined to include several different kinds of data sharing with third parties for monetary or other valuable consideration. Under this definition, we may sell your personal information in exchange for monetary or non-monetary consideration in the following ways:
(a) We may allow certain third party online advertising services to collect your personal information via automated technologies on our sites or services. We may share the following categories of personal information for online advertising purposes: Identifiers and/or Online Activity; and
(b) We may share personal information related to your purchase or receipt information and/or survey responses with clients or third parties for advertising, marketing research or analytics purposes (e.g., to help them better understand consumer preferences or segments or serve more relevant advertising). In these cases, we limit the types of identifiers we may share (e.g., mobile ad ids) and restrict the ways in which third parties may use this data. We will only engage in this type of sharing if we have obtained your consent to do so or if we are otherwise permitted to do so under applicable law. Depending on what you provide consent for, or as otherwise permitted by applicable law, we may share each of the above listed categories of personal information with clients or other third parties.
You have the right to opt out of these disclosures of your information, as detailed below.
We do not have actual knowledge that we sell the personal information of minors under 16 years of age.
California Consumer Privacy Rights
You have certain choices regarding your personal information, as described below.
Access: You have the right to request, twice in a 12-month period, that we disclose to you the personal information we have collected, used, disclosed and sold about you during the past 12 months.
Deletion: You have the right to request that we delete certain personal information we have collected from you.
Opt-Out of Sale: You have the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information.
Shine the Light Request: You also may have the right to request that we provide you with (a) a list of certain categories of personal information we have disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes during the immediately preceding calendar year and (b) the identity of those third parties.
How to Submit a Request. To submit an access or deletion request, or to opt-out of the sale of your personal information, please either email us at [email protected], submit a request for support through the Receipt Hog app or our websites or mail us at the address provided in our Privacy Policy under the heading “Contact Us”. To submit a Shine the Light request, email us at [email protected]. To submit a request as an authorized agent on behalf of a consumer, please contact us as described in this section.
Verifying Requests: To help protect your privacy and maintain security, we will take steps to verify your identity before granting you access to your personal information or complying with your request. If you have an account with us, we will verify your identity by requiring you to sign in to your account and/or answer security questions related to your account. If you do not have an account with us, or an email address on file with us (such as if you signed up to receive our marketing emails), then there may not be a reasonable method by which we can verify your identity to the level of certainty required by the CCPA. This is because historically we have not linked device identifiers or advertising IDs to named actual persons. Accordingly, if you do not have an account with us, or an email address on file, and you request access to or deletion of your personal information, we will not be able to process your request at this time. If you designate an authorized agent to make an access, deletion or opt-out of sale request on your behalf, then we may require (a) your agent to provide proof that you gave the agent signed permission to do so, and (b) you to verify your own identity directly with us (as described above) and directly confirm with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request.
Additional Information. If you choose to exercise any of your rights under the CCPA, you have the right to not receive discriminatory treatment by us. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may charge a reasonable fee to comply with your request. This section is available in alternative formats upon request. To request it in an alternative format, please either email us at [email protected], submit a request for support through the Receipt Hog app or our websites or mail us at the address provided in our Privacy Policy under the heading “Contact Us”.
