Digital Advertising and Analytics

 To better address our products to our customers’ interests, we partner with ad networks and other ad serving providers (“Advertising Providers”) that serve ads on behalf of us and others on non-affiliated platforms and across multiple devices. Some of those ads are personalized, meaning that they are intended to be relevant to you based on information Advertising Providers collect about your use of the Site and other sites or apps over time and across devices.  This type of advertising is known as interest-based advertising.

You can visit www.aboutads.info to learn more about interest-based advertising and how to opt-out of this advertising on websites by companies participating in the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) self-regulatory program. 

If you delete your cookies or use a different browser or mobile device, you will need to renew your opt-out choice registered through the tool above. Note that electing to opt-out will not stop advertising from appearing in your browser. It may make the ads you see less relevant to your interests.

We may use analytics services provided by third parties, including Google Analytics. These service providers may use cookies or other technologies to collect information about your online activities across our Site and other sites and apps over time for analytics purposes. To learn more about how Google analytics collects and processes data and the choices Google may offer to control these activities, you may visit https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites .

Third Party Links

 Our Site may provide links to third-party websites or apps.  We do not control the privacy practices of those websites or apps, and they are not covered by this Privacy Policy.  You should review the privacy policies of other websites or apps to learn about their data practices. 

Our Site may also include integrated social media tools or “plug-ins,” such as social networking tools offered by third parties.  If you use these tools to share personal information or you otherwise interact with these features on our Site, those companies may collect information about you and may use and share such information in accordance with your account settings, including by sharing such information with the general public.  Your interactions with third-party companies and your use of their features are governed by the privacy notices of the companies that provide those features.  We encourage you to carefully read the privacy notices of any accounts you create and use.

Please use “Accessibility Concern” as the email subject and in your message describe the particular feature you believe is inaccessible or provide a suggestion for improving accessibility. Although we do not have control over external vendors, we strongly encourage third-party digital content providers to provide content that is accessible and user friendly for everyone. We value your feedback and will consider it as we continuously seek ways to improve accessibility for all users and our overall accessibility policies.

California Residents

If you are a California resident, the California law provides you with certain rights regarding your personal information. This section describes the rights of California consumers and how to exercise them.

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and verify your request, we will disclose to you: 

• The categories of personal information we collected about you.
• The categories of sources from which the personal information is collected.
• The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you.
• Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling any personal information.
• The purposes for which the categories of personal information we collected will be used.
• The categories of third parties with whom we share personal information.
• If we sold or disclosed your personal information for a business purpose; and, if so, any categories of personal information that were sold or disclosed, and the categories of any third parties to whom personal information was sold or disclosed.

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and verify your request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:

• Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our agreement with you.
• Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
• Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
• Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
• Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act.
• Enable internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
• Comply with a legal obligation.
• Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

You can ask us not to sell or share your personal information for purposes of cross-context behavioral marketing. To exercise this right, please submit a verifiable request by clicking the button below and filling out the form. Alternatively, you can email us at service@pcscoins.com, or call 1-800-641-8026.

Do Not Share/Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Only you or a person that you authorize to act on your behalf may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. If you wish to authorize another to act on your behalf, please be advised that we may require that you provide the authorized agent with written permission to submit a request and verify your own identity directly with us, unless the authorized agent has a power of attorney. However, you may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

Our verification process works as follows:

• Password-protected accounts – if you have a password-protected account with us, we will use password authentication to verify you. If your request is for deletion of personal information, we will need to re-verify you before we delete your information.
• Non-password-protected accounts – we need to use either a two-tier or a three-tier verification process (which will depend on what type of request you are making). We will ask for you to confirm two or three pieces of information that we have on our records about you, for example:

• Your address
• Your zip code
• Your most recent purchase
• Your email address

You may make a verifiable consumer request up to two times within a 12-month period, without charge. Unfortunately, we cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

We try to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension time period (up to 90 days). If you have an account with us, we will deliver our response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding receipt. The response we provide will also explain any reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

• Deny you goods or services.
• Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
• Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
• Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
