A) California (CCPA/CPRA)

California residents may have rights to Know/Access, Delete, Correct, Opt-out of “sale” or “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising (we do not sell personal information), and Limit the use of sensitive personal information (we use driver’s-license data only for verification/insurance, not to infer characteristics).
