IDIQ does not sell personal information of its users as the term “sell” is traditionally understood. But “sell” under the CCPA is broadly defined. It includes the sharing of personal information with third parties in exchange for something of value, even if no money changes hands. For example, sharing an advertising or device identifier to a third party may be considered a “sale” under the CCPA. To the extent IDIQ “sells” your personal information (as the term “sell” is defined under the CCPA), you have the right to opt-out of that “sale” on a going-forward basis at any time. For more information about opting out of the “sale” of your personal information, see the Opting-Out Cross-Contextual Behavioral Advertising, section, above. After 12 months, we may ask you if you want to opt into the “sale” of your personal information.
