 ShareThis provides website operators ("Publishers") with customizable social sharing tools, which makes sharing online content simple. Any user of a website can easily share anything on the web with their friends on social sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, Email, Digg, Reddit and more through using one of our tools on that website ("**ShareThis Icon**").
 ShareThis also collects pseudonymous data about internet users and how they interact with content, websites, and advertisements while online. Some of the data is collected via our tools such as the **ShareThis Icon**, and some is collected through third-party data providers via our parent company Predactiv. Certain data collected from each publisher related to the activity we observe on that publisher's site is provided back to that Publisher. We also may license a larger data set (including the data collected via Predactiv) to advertisers, agencies, and other businesses (our "Customers") to facilitate the delivery of relevant, targeted advertising and for a number of other reasons which are listed below.
 Also, the pseudonymous data collected via the Website via pixels may be deemed a sale of data. If you want to better understand the choices available to you with respect to pseudonymous data collected on this Website, please click on the cookie icon at the bottom right-hand corner of this Website. The icon will take you to the consent management platform for our Website, which will enable you to tell our systems to stop sending data collected via the Website to these third-party social media, advertising and analytics partners.
 We generally ask only for the minimum information necessary to help us process a subject access or deletion request and will keep information pertaining to your request for up to two years. If you are a customer of ShareThis with a login and password to the ShareThis platform, we ask that you first direct your request to the person or persons at your organization that administers the relationship with ShareThis. California data subjects may also call us on our toll free CCPA privacy hotline at 1-800-272-1765.
 **Authorized Agents**
+Depending upon where you live, you may also submit a data subject rights request through an authorized agent. If you do so, the agent must present signed written permission to act on your behalf, and you may also be required to independently verify your identity. If you are an agent seeking to make a request to opt-out as authorized by applicable law, please use or direct the data subject to use the general instructions provided in the section of this policy entitled "VII. **User Choices and Opt-out Rights**".
