The security of your Personal Information is important to us. We seek to protect your

United States and abroad. We maintain what we consider industry standard backup and
archival systems. Although we work to protect the security of the data that we hold in
our records, for example, by making good faith efforts to store Personal Information in a
secure operating environment that is not open to the public, please be aware that no
method of transmitting data over the Internet or storing data is completely secure. We

CALIFORNIA ‘DO NOT SELL MY INFO’ NOTICE
Like many companies online, we work with Google, Facebook and other companies that
use information collected from cookies and similar technologies to try to make the ads
you see online more relevant to your interests. This is called interest-based advertising.
Our use of these services may constitute a “sale” of Personal Information as defined
under the California Consumer Protection Act (CCPA). You can opt-out of the use of
your information for interest-based advertising by:
● Browser settings. Blocking third party cookies in your browser settings.
● Privacy browsers/plug-ins. Using privacy browsers or ad-blocking browser plug-
ins that let you block advertising trackers.
● Platform settings. Using the opt-out settings offered by some of the advertising
companies that we work with.
● Ad industry tools. Opting out of interest-based ads from companies
participating in the following industry opt-out programs:
o Network Advertising Initiative: https://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1
o Digital Advertising Alliance: optout.aboutads.info, which will allow you to
opt-out of interest-based ads served by on websites by participating
members.
o AppChoices mobile app, at https://www.youradchoices.com/appchoices,
which will allow you to opt-out of interest-based ads in mobile apps served
by participating members.
Mobile settings. Using your mobile device settings to limit use of the advertising ID
associated with your mobile device for interest-based advertising purposes. You will
need to apply these opt-out settings on each device from which you wish to opt-out.
Not all companies that serve interest-based ads participate in these opt-out programs,
so even after opting-out, you may still receive some cookies and interest-based ads
from other companies. If you opt-out of interest-based advertisements, you will still see
advertisements online, but they may be less relevant to you.
Our sharing of information with the data providers described above may also constitute
“sales” as defined under the CCPA. You may submit a request to opt-out of this
information sharing by sending an email to support@mcmasterofceremony.com with
