We may elect to share information about you with third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes.

If this law applies to you, you may obtain the categories of personal information shared by us and the names and addresses of all third parties that received personal information for their direct marketing purposes from us during the immediately prior calendar year (e.g., requests made in 2017 will receive information about 2016 sharing activities). To make such a request, please provide sufficient information for us to determine if this applies to you, attest to the fact that you are a California resident and provide a current California address for our response. To make such a request (limit to one request per year), please send an email to:  info@aligncf.com, with “California Privacy Rights” as the subject line.
