680634#### **Other Rights: Notice to California Consumers**
681635
682636You have other rights under California's "Shine the Light" law. California Civil Code section 1798.83, requires certain businesses to respond to requests from California customers asking about the businesses' practices related to disclosing personal information to third parties for the third parties' direct marketing purposes. Alternately, such businesses may have in place a policy not to disclose personal information of customers to third parties for the third parties' direct marketing purposes if the customer has exercised an option to opt-out of such information-sharing. We have such a policy in place. As discussed above, if you wish to opt-out of our sharing of your information with third parties for the third parties' direct marketing purposes, please contact us at [privacy@fortune.com](mailto:privacy@fortune.com).

You can make a request to delete your data in order to withdraw from such a program by following the instructions under the "How to Exercise Your California Privacy Rights" section of this California Privacy Notice. The value of such a program to FORTUNE is related to the value of your information to us and the costs associated with offering the program. The value of your data to FORTUNE may be calculated based on a number of factors, such as whether and to what extent you take advantage of any of our paid product or service offerings.
