Right to opt-out of the “sale” of your Personal Information. We may use services that help deliver interest based ads to you. Our use of some of these services may be classified under some state laws as a “sale” of your Personal Information to the companies that provide the services because they collect information from our users (e.g., device data and online activity data) to help them serve ads more likely to interest you. You can request to opt-out out of this “sale” of your personal information here by contacting us at privacy@organicvalley.coop.
