Residents of the State of California, under the California Civil Code, have the right to request from companies conducting business in California, a list of all third parties to which Company has disclosed Personal Information during the preceding year for direct marketing purposes. Alternatively, the law provides that if Company has a privacy policy that gives either an "opt-out" or "opt-in" choice for use of your Personal Information by third parties (such as advertisers or affiliated companies) for marketing purposes, Company may instead provide you with information on how to exercise your disclosure choice options.
Surrge qualifies for the alternative option: it has a comprehensive Privacy Policy and provides you with details on how you may either "opt-out" or "opt-in" to the use of your Personal Information by third parties for direct marketing purposes. Therefore, we are not required to maintain or disclose a list of the third parties that received your Personal Information for marketing purposes during the preceding year.
If you are a California resident and request information about how to exercise your third party disclosure choices, you must send a request to the following address with a preference on how our response to your request should be sent (email or postal mail). Send an email to the Privacy Administrator at privacy@surrge.com.
