California Users
In accordance with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):
Metaspoon collects personal information when you visit the website. In the traditional sense of the word “sell,” Metaspoon does not sell personal information. However, the California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA”) defines the word “sell” as any exchange of personal information for something of value, such as the delivery of an interest-based ad. Metaspoon may therefore sell the personal information to other parties, including in order to deliver ads tailored to your interests.
California residents who provide personal information are entitled to request and obtain from us, once a calendar year, information about the personal information we shared, if any, with other businesses for marketing uses. If applicable, this information would include the categories of personal information and the names and addresses of those businesses with which we shared such personal information for the immediately prior calendar year (i.e. requests made in the current year will receive information about the prior year). To obtain this information please contact us.
California residents have the right to opt out of the sale of they personal information which may include selling, disclosing, or transferring personal information to another business or third party for monetary or other valuable consideration. To do so, please visit our Do Not Sell page.
Opting out of the sale of you personal information for the purposes of the CCPA does not opt you out of interest-based advertising and you may still receive ads tailored to your interest based on personal information not sold by Metaspoon, sold to downstream participants at least ninety (90) days before you used one or more industry opt-out links.
This policy was last updated on May 24, 2018.
Notwithstanding the general terms of this policy, the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information may be made outside of the terms herein to the extent provided for in any applicable privacy or other legislation in effect from time to time, or pursuant to court orders.
Metaspoon may disclose personal information to another entity purchasing (including for diligence purposes prior to purchase) the assets of Metaspoon, provided that entity abides by this or a similar privacy policy.
