No.

CCS does not sell personal information for monetary consideration.

We do not sell your name, contact information, order details, payment information, photographs, or biometric data to third parties.

Under certain state privacy laws (including California), “sharing” may include disclosing personal information to third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising, even when no money is exchanged.

This may include the use of certain advertising cookies or similar technologies that allow advertising partners to deliver ads based on activity across different websites or services.

CCS may use analytics or advertising-related technologies on some of our websites. In limited cases, these technologies may be considered “sharing” under applicable law.

You have the right to opt out of such sharing.

Depending on your interaction with our Services, the categories of personal information that may be disclosed for analytics or advertising purposes could include:

• Internet or electronic network activity information (e.g., browsing activity, device identifiers, cookie identifiers)
• IP address
• Device and browser information

We do not share:

• Payment card numbers
• Bank account information
• Biometric identifiers
• Sensitive personal information for advertising purposes

CCS does not sell or share biometric data for advertising or marketing purposes.

If a Studio enables optional Face Matching:

• Images may be processed by a third-party Face Matching vendor.
• The vendor returns only image relationship data.
• CCS does not receive or retain biometric templates.
• Biometric data is not used for advertising.
• Biometric data is not sold or shared.

If you are a resident of a state that provides this right (such as California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, Oregon, Utah, Montana, or Delaware), you may request that we not sell or share your personal information as defined by applicable law.

Where required by applicable law, CCS honors browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC), for the browser and device from which the signal is sent.

If your browser sends a valid GPC signal, we will treat it as a request to opt out of sale or sharing for that browser/device.

Note:

• GPC applies only to the browser/device sending the signal.

It does not automatically apply across different devices or accounts unless separately requested.

You may designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf where permitted by law.

We may require:

• Proof of the agent’s authorization
• Verification of your identity

We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

Exercising your right to opt out will not affect:

Depending on your state of residence, you may also have the right to:

• Access personal information
