California Residents

If you are a consumer who is a resident of California, Topple does not sell the personal information it collects.  However, our clients may use our technology to buy or sell personal information as defined by California law.  If you wish to opt out of the use of your personal information for interest-based advertising and these potential sales under California law, you may do so by following the instructions included in this policy on opt-out. Note that because these opt-outs are specific to the device or browser on which they are exercised, you will need to opt out on every browser and device that you use.

Subject to certain limitations, California law also permits you to request certain information regarding our disclosures of your personal information during the preceding calendar year. To learn more about California residents’ rights and, if you are a California resident, to make requests about your personal information or exercise your opt-out rights, visit our Notice to California Residents.
