California Privacy Policy
Updated November 17, 2023
Unless otherwise defined in this California Privacy Notice ("Notice"), all terms defined in the Privacy Policy and all other terms defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 ("CCPA") retain the same meaning when used in this Notice.
Scope
This Notice supplements the information contained in Our Privacy Policy and applies solely to individual residents of the State of California within the United States ("consumers" or "you").
This Notice describes how We collect, use, disclose, and otherwise process personal information of individual residents of the State of California, either online or offline, within the scope of the CCPA.
Personal Information Disclosures
When We use the term "personal information" in this Notice, We mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household.
For the purposes of this Notice, personal information does not include:
- De-identified, aggregated, or anonymized information that is maintained in a form that is not capable of being associated with or linked to you.
- Publicly available information from government records.
- Information about job applicants, employees and other of Our personnel.
- Information about employees and other representatives of third-party customers or entities We may interact with.
Collection, Disclosure, and Sale of Personal Information
In the last 12 months, We have collected and disclosed for a business purpose the following categories of personal information:
- Identifiers, such as your name, email address, postal address, account username/password, and telephone number. We disclose this information to Our e-commerce platform, Our subscription management provider, Our sales and customer support teams, and Our marketing providers.
- California Customer Records (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e)), such as contact information and payment information. We disclose this information to Our e-commerce platform, Our subscription management provider, Our sales and customer support teams, and Our marketing providers.
- Protected Classification Characteristics, such as age and gender. We disclose this information to Our sales and customer support teams and Our marketing providers.
- Commercial Information, such as shopping history and other information relating to your hobbies, interests, and shopping behavior. We disclose this information to Our e-commerce platform, Our subscription management provider, Our sales and customer support teams, and Our marketing providers.
- Internet/Network Information, such as your IP address, cookie, advertising, or device identifier, browser type, operating system, Internet service provider, the data and time of your visit, browsing and shopping history, and information related to your interaction with Our emails and advertisements. We disclose this information to Our analytics and marketing providers.
- Geolocation Data, such as location information from your device or estimated based on your IP address. We disclose this information to Our analytics and marketing providers.
- Sensory Information, such as recordings of phone calls between you and Us, where permitted by law. We disclose this information to Our customer support team.
- Other Personal Information, including loyalty program data, information you post in a public space on Our services (such as testimonials) or on Our social media pages or otherwise provide to Us, information from your social media profile and information posted on your page, information you submit to Us, including messages submitted through the Services or when you attend one of Our events or contact Our sales or customer support teams, and information you submit to Us when you enter a promotion (including photos, videos, and other user-generated content).
- Inferences, such as predictions about your interests and preferences.
We will never exchange your personal information for direct financial compensation from a third party for any reason.

The categories of personal information that may be “sold” are Identifiers, California Customer Records, Commercial Information, Internet/Network Information, Geolocation Data, Other Personal Information and Inferences. In addition, as is common practice among companies that operate online, We permit third parties to collect certain personal information directly from you when you visit or interact with Our Services. Please see Our Privacy Policy to learn more about these third-party data collection practices.

How to Exercise your California Privacy Rights
To exercise your "Right to Know," deletion, or "Shine the Light"
Submit a request to: privacy@mtlmrk.com
We will need to verify your identity before processing most requests, which may require Us to obtain additional personal information from you. You do not need to create an account with Us to submit a request, but please provide your account username (if any), name, email address, and mailing address in the request, as well as an explanation of the rights you wish to exercise. We will only use the personal information provided in connection with a California consumer rights request to review and comply with the request.
