California law requires organizations to disclose whether certain categories of personal information are collected, disclosed for an organization’s “business purpose”, or “sold” and/or “shared” for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising (as those terms are defined under California law). We may collect, share, and disclose personal information that is subject to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and other federal laws. Such information is not subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively “California Privacy Law”), and while not required, may be included in the table below. In addition, we may have collected, shared, and disclosed personal information in various contexts that may be subject to California Privacy Law, which is reflected in the table below. Please note that the following table is comprehensive, and we collect different information about people based on their relationships and interactions with us.
Please note, in addition to the recipients identified below, we may disclose any of the categories of personal information we collect to government entities, as may be needed to comply with law or prevent illegal activity, or professional services organizations, such as auditors and law firms. We do not “sell” your personal information for money. As discussed elsewhere in this privacy notice, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies for purposes of targeted advertising. The types of information that you can access and update may change over time. Remember, some of the information we collect does not identify you personally or is not stored in an online accessible format and thus, may not be accessible through your Beyond account. For more information, please see Section B.7.

California Notice of Financial Incentive. We offer certain programs, such as our referral program, that provides financial rewards to those of our customers who have elected to participate (the “Program”). When you apply for and have been accepted into the Program, we typically ask you to provide your name and contact information (such as your email address), as well as the contact information for individuals you will refer to us. Under California law, our Program might be interpreted as a “financial incentive” program as it involves the collection of personal information. We do not assign a monetary value to the information we collect. Based on our reasonable estimate, the value of the personal information you provide to us is related to the value of the referral provided and commission paid through the Program. This value is based on the expense related to offering those free or discounted products or services. You or any person you refer to us may withdraw from participating in the Program at any time by contacting us at privacy@Beyondapps.com.
