4. Online marketing and analytics
Cookies are small text files stored by your web browser when you use websites. You can control how websites use cookies by configuring your browser’s privacy settings (please refer to your browser’s help function to learn more about cookie controls). Note that if you disable cookies entirely, honeybeeBase may not function properly. You may be able to control the use of cookies through your web browser. Some web browsers may also give you the ability to enable a “do not track” setting. This setting sends a special signal to the websites you encounter while web browsing. This “do not track” signal is different from disabling certain forms of tracking by declining cookies in your browser settings, as browsers with the “do not track” setting enabled still have the ability to accept cookies. honeybeeBase does not respond to web browser “do not track” signals at this time. We may use web beacons on our websites, in our email messages, in our advertisements on other websites, or in our advertisements in others’ email messages. A web beacon is an electronic image that can be used to recognize a cookie on your computer when you view a web page or email message. You can make some web beacons unusable by rejecting cookies in your web browser. When you visit our websites or view one of our email messages, we may use pixel tags.

11. California privacy rights
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act “CCPA”, and subject to exceptions, California residents have certain rights regarding their data, including:
A. The right to know the categories of Personal Information we collect and the categories of sources from which we got the information
B. The right to know the business purposes for sharing Personal Information
C. The right to know the categories of third parties with whom we’ve shared Personal Information
D. The right to access the specific pieces of Personal Information we’ve collected and the right to delete your information.
E. The right to opt out of having your Personal Information sold. honeybeeBase does not sell or rent Personal Information to third parties, as we understand that term to be defined by the CCPA and its implementing regulations.
F. California residents also have the right to not be discriminated against if they choose to exercise their privacy rights.

As a California resident, you may exercise your right to know or your right to deletion by sending an email to support@honeybeebase.com. We will require verification of your account prior to processing your request. We do not currently have a reasonable method of verifying the identity of non-registered users to a reasonable degree of certainty, as we do not maintain enough personal information to enable us to verify non-registered users with sufficient certainty. Thus, we cannot honor the access or deletion requests of non-registered users at this time.

California Civil Code Section 1798.83, otherwise known as California’s Shine the Light law, permits customers who are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please write to us at support@honeybeebase.com

12. Nevada residents
Nevada law states that certain Nevada consumers may opt out of the sale of “personally identifiable information” (includes first and last name, address, email address, phone number, Social Security Number, or an identifier that allows a specific person to be contacted either physically or online) for monetary consideration to a person for that person to license or sell such information to additional persons. We do not engage in this activity. However if you are a Nevada resident, you may submit a request to opt out of any potential future sales under Nevada law by contacting us at support@honeybeebase.com
