3. Right to Know About Data Sales

Right to Know Whether Your Personal Data is Sold: You have the explicit, unconditional right to know whether your personal data is sold to third parties for monetary or other valuable consideration. This right is guaranteed under applicable privacy laws including CCPA, VCDPA, and GDPR, and we fully disclose our data sale practices as follows:

3.1 Definition of "Data Sale" Under This Policy

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, "sale" or "selling" of personal data is defined as the disclosure of personal data by Kissin to a third party in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration, as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA). This includes:

• Disclosure of personal data to a third party for monetary payment
• Disclosure of personal data to a third party in exchange for other valuable consideration (e.g., services, technology, or access to data)
• Disclosure of personal data to a third party for the purpose of enabling that third party to sell the data to others

Not all data sharing constitutes a "sale" under this definition. For example, sharing data with service providers to perform essential services on our behalf is not considered a sale, provided the service provider is contractually obligated to use the data only for the specified purposes and not to sell it to others.

3.2 Kissin's Current Data Sale Practices

Our data sharing practices are limited to:

• Sharing data with service providers to provide essential services (e.g., cloud hosting, payment processing, customer support)
• Sharing anonymized, non-identifiable data with analytics partners to improve our Services
• Sharing data as required by law, court order, or government request
• Sharing data with your explicit consent for specific, disclosed purposes

None of these practices constitute a "sale" of personal data as defined by applicable privacy laws.

3.3 How to Exercise Your Right to Know About Data Sales

• Categories of third parties to whom the personal data was sold
• Purpose of the sale (if applicable)
• Timeframe during which the sale occurred

We will not charge a fee for processing your "Right to Know" request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.
