10. Global privacy control and universal opt-out signals

Where required by applicable privacy law, Kaia Patterns will recognize and process legally valid browser-based universal opt-out preference signals.

For example, Colorado law recognizes certain Universal Opt-Out Mechanisms that allow consumers to communicate an opt-out preference regarding certain uses of personal data.

Where applicable, a recognized signal such as Global Privacy Control (GPC) may be treated as a request to opt out of the sale of personal data and/or processing of personal data for targeted advertising.

The effect of an opt-out signal may depend on your jurisdiction, browser, device, and the nature of the signal.

Because these signals are generally browser- or device-specific, you may need to enable the signal separately on each browser and device you use.

Kaia Patterns is based in Colorado.

Depending on whether the law applies to Kaia Patterns and the particular processing activity, these rights may include the right to opt out of:

• the sale of personal data;
• processing of personal data for targeted advertising; and
• certain profiling activities.

Colorado consumers may also have rights relating to accessing, correcting, deleting, or obtaining a portable copy of certain personal data.

More information regarding these rights and how to exercise them is provided in ourPrivacy Policy.
