The CCPA defines “Sensitive Personal Information” as personal information that reveals a consumer's social security, driver's license, state identification card, or passport number, a consumer's account login, financial account, debit card, or credit card number in combination with any required security or access code, password, or credentials allowing access to an account, a consumer's precise geolocation, a consumer's racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, or union membership, the contents of a consumer's mail, email, and text messages, unless our business is the intended recipient of the communication and a consumer’s genetic data.
We collect sensitive personal information, as defined by California law, only for purposes allowed by law or with your consent. We do not collect or process sensitive personal information for inferring characteristics about you.
Some of the purposes for the collection and processing of sensitive personal information allowed by law include: to perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected; to prevent, detect, and investigate security incidents; to resist malicious, deceptive fraudulent, or illegal actions directed at Emson and to prosecute those responsible for those actions; to ensure the physical safety of natural persons; for short-term, transient use; to perform services on behalf of Emson; and to verify or maintain the quality or safety of our products or services.
Sensitive personal information that is publicly available is not considered sensitive personal information or personal information.

Users can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level. If you prefer not to receive cookies on our website, you can set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies and refuse the cookie when your browser alerts you to its presence. You can also refuse all cookies by turning them off in your browser. Refusing cookies or turning them off may have unpredictable effects on the functionality of a site.
Our Sites may contain links to other sites. If you use these links, you will leave our Site. When you access a third-party site, even one that may contain our name or logos, please be aware that we do not control the content and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of that site. This Privacy Policy does not cover the information practices of third-party sites linked to our Sites, which are outside of our control.
Our Sites may include social media features such as the Facebook “Like” button, or the “Share This” button.
