We may ask you to provide us with certain categories of information such as:

Other Information Collected When You Visit the Websites

In addition to any personal information or other information that you choose to provide to us on the Websites, we and our third-party service providers may use a variety of technologies that automatically or passively collect certain website usage information whenever you visit or interact with the Websites.

Whenever the information is associated with you, it will be treated as personal information.

We may use this website usage information, collected by us or third parties, for a variety of purposes including to enhance or otherwise improve the Websites.

The methods that may be used to collect this information, and the purposes for doing so, include the following:

• Cookies. Cookies are information files that our Website may place on your device to provide extended functionality and to personalize your experience at our Website.

For example, we may use cookies to track usage patterns on the Website and we may use cookies when we conduct polls and sweepstakes to limit multiple responses and registrations or to tracking usage of our emails and Website. Or, we may use cookies to record registration and personalization information, enabling you to save your user name and password. We do not store any information that directly identifies you in cookies, but we may link the cookie to any other information we collect.

You should consult with your browser's provider/manufacturer if you have any questions regarding disabling cookies.
• Mobile Device Identifiers. Certain mobile service providers uniquely identify mobile devices and we or our third-party service providers may receive such device information if you access the Websites through mobile devices. Certain features of our Websites may require collection of mobile phone numbers and we may associate that phone number to mobile device identification information. Additionally, some mobile phone service providers operate systems that pinpoint the physical location of devices that use their service. Depending on the provider, we or our third-party service providers may receive this information.
• IP Addresses: An IP address is a number that is assigned to your device or network when you are on the Internet. When visitors request pages from our Website, our servers log the visitor's IP address. We may collect IP addresses for a variety of internal purposes, such as system administration, to report aggregate information to our business partners or to audit the number of visits to different pages on our Website.

What are My Options?

You can choose to enjoy content and features on the Websites without directly providing us with any information about you; however, as described above, some information may automatically be collected or may be requested so that you can take advantage of certain features and services offered on the Websites. The Websites may contain web pages through which you can edit and update personal information you have provided to us through registration with one or more of the Websites and which may allow you to change your marketing preferences. You may also opt-out of receiving marketing communications or other communications from a particular website of service by following the instructions contained in any such communication when you receive them. Please note that if you maintain an account with the Websites (i.e. any existing or future platform), we reserve the right to send you certain communications relating to your account such as administrative and service announcements if they relate to your account, and these transactional account messages are not affected if you choose to opt-out from marketing e-mails. When you edit your personal information or change your preferences, information that you remove may persist internally for BLM's administrative purposes. However, if you have used any communication features of the Websites to publicly disclose information, such as a blog or wiki board posting, these communications cannot generally be removed, subject to the “Privacy Rights for California Residents and Other Specific Jurisdictions” and “A Note to Parents About the Privacy of Children” sections below.

Privacy Rights for California Residents and Other Specific Jurisdictions ("Do Not Sell My Personal Info")

If you reside in California or in a jurisdiction that provides similar rights, under the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA") or applicable law, you have specific rights regarding your personal information. This section describes the rights that you have under CCPA, or other state laws as applicable, and explains how to exercise those rights.

• Right to Know About Personal Information Collected, Disclosed or Sold. You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection, use, disclosure or sale of your personal information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see “Exercising Access, and Deletion Rights”), and subject to certain limitations that we describe below, we will disclose such information to you. You have the right to request any or all of the following:
• The categories of personal information we collected about you.
• The categories of sources from which the personal information is collected.
• Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
• The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
• The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you
• Right to Request Deletion. You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see “Exercising Access, and Deletion Rights”), we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records. However, we may retain personal information that has been de-identified or aggregated. Furthermore, we may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) in order to perform certain actions set forth under CCPA, such as detecting security incidents and protecting against fraudulent or illegal activity.
• Exercising Access and Deletion Rights. To exercise the access and deletion rights described above, please submit a request to us by doing one of the following:
  • Emailing us at contact @ bluelinemedia.com
  • Completing a REQUEST FORM

  Only you, or a person or business entity registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf (an “authorized agent”), may make the requests set forth above. If you use an authorized agent to make a request, you must provide the authorized agent written permission to do so, and we may require that you verify your identity directly with us. You may also make a request on behalf of your minor child.

  The request should include your contact information (including name, address, email address and phone number) and describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. In addition, we ask that you provide us with the following information to allow us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected the personal information or an authorized representative: whether you receive marketing communications from us; whether you or your business has purchased advertising from BLM; whether you are or your business is a current or former BLM real estate partner/landlord (if yes, please also provide the relevant property address if different from your contact information); and, if you are an authorized representative, confirmation that you have been authorized to act in such capacity.

  We will respond to consumer requests in a reasonably timely manner. If we require extra time to respond, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

  In order to protect the security of your personal information, we will not honor a request if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. The method used to verify your identity will vary depending on the nature of the request. Generally speaking, verification will be performed by matching the identifying information provided by you to the personal information that we already have.

  Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your request. We are not obligated to provide the information set forth above under “Right to Know About Personal Information Collected, Disclosed or Sold” more than twice in a 12-month period.

  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.

• Non-Discrimination. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights, including, but not limited to, by:
• Denying you goods or services.
• Charging you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
• Providing you a different level or quality of goods or services.
• Suggesting that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

This includes links from advertisers, sponsors and partners that may use the Websites' logo as part of a co-branding agreement. These other websites may send their own cookies to you, independently collect data or solicit personal information and may or may not have their own published privacy policies.
