California law requires Codeage LLC ("Codeage," "we," "us," or "our") to disclose certain information regarding our privacy practices to California residents. This California Privacy Notice supplements the Codeage Privacy Policy, which describes our overall privacy practices. California residents should read this California Privacy Notice in addition to the main Privacy Policy.

This California Privacy Notice applies to Personal Information that Codeage processes through https://www.codeage.com, our blog at https://blog.codeage.com, and all other URLs on the codeage.com domain (collectively, the "Site"), as well as through our forums, social media accounts, and other online or offline offerings.

This California Privacy Notice does not apply to Personal Information we collect about our employees, applicants for employment, or contractors in the employment context.

SCOPE AND DEFINITIONS

For purposes of this California Privacy Notice, "Personal Information" has the meaning given to it under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (collectively, "CCPA"), and includes information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household.

"Sensitive Personal Information" has the meaning given to it under the CCPA and includes Personal Information that reveals certain categories of information described below.

CATEGORIES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

In the twelve (12) months preceding the Effective Date of this California Privacy Notice, we have collected the following categories of Personal Information about California residents.

We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from individuals under 16 years of age, and we do not sell or share Personal Information of individuals under 16 years of age.

SENSITIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may collect the following categories of Sensitive Personal Information about California residents:

- Account log-in credentials in combination with a password or other access credential allowing access to your account;

We do not collect Sensitive Personal Information for the purpose of inferring characteristics about California residents. We use Sensitive Personal Information only for the limited purposes permitted by the CCPA, including to perform the Services requested, prevent and detect fraud, ensure the security and integrity of our systems, and comply with our legal obligations. California residents have the right to limit our use and disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information, as described below.
