Cookies & Your Choices
Our websites and ads may use cookies and similar technologies to collect and store certain your personal information, such as log data and cookie data when you visit or interact with our websites or ads in order to identify your browser or device and enable certain features and functionality. These technologies may include the following:
• Cookies. Cookies are small text files that are sent to and stored by your browser when you visit or interact with our websites and ads. These cookies are then sent back to the party that served the cookie unchanged each time you visit or interact with the websites or ads (which includes our ads on third-party websites) in order for the party that served the cookie to recognize your browser or device. Cookies are either first-party cookies or third-party cookies. "First-party cookies" are sent to your browser by the party that operates the website you are visiting (for example, cookies served by us when you visit the website). "Third-party cookies" are sent to your browser by any party other than the party that operates the website you are visiting (for example, cookies sent by online partners, such as Google Analytics, when you visit the website). Further, when we use cookies, we may use "session" cookies (that last until you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (that last until you or your browser delete them). Some of the cookies we use on the website and our ads may be associated with your personal information (such as your email address) and other cookies are not.
• Pixel Tags. Pixel tags (aka “web beacons”) are small blocks of code installed on our websites which enable our online partners to serve cookies when you visit our website and are generally used in combination with cookies to track user activity on our website, receive relevant log data and cookie data, and perform other activities relating to the monitoring and analysis of the use and performance of the website and our ads.
• Software Development Kits. Software development kits (also called SDKs) function like third-party cookies and pixel tags but operate in the mobile app environment where cookies and pixel tags cannot function as effectively. Instead of using cookies and pixels tags, we may install pieces of code (the SDK) provided by our online partners (such as advertising companies, ad networks, and analytics providers) in our mobile apps in order for these online partners to monitor and analyze the use and performance of our website and ads.
• Statistical Identifiers. Statistical identifiers refer to identifiers created using certain device information and log data. Collectively, this information makes your browser or device sufficiently distinct for a server or similar system to reasonably determine that it is encountering the same browser or device over time. Statistical identifiers enable us and our partners to uniquely identify your browser or device for the same purposes as cookies. Statistical identifiers may be associated with your personal information (such as your email address).
Use of Cookies and Similar Technologies by Our Online Partners
We may use vendors and other online partners to perform some of the activities described above, including but not limited to providing audience measurement and analytics services, serving ads on our behalf on our websites and on third-party sites, and tracking and reporting the performance of such ads. These online partners may use third-party cookies and similar technologies to collect and store certain device information; log data, cookie data and other information when you visit or interact with our website or ads and other unaffiliated sites in order to identify your browser or device; and provide their respective services. Further, these online partners may combine data collected on our websites with information collected on unaffiliated sites or with any other data maintained by these online partners. Their use of data collected on our website and third-party sites will be subject to their own terms of use and privacy policies.
For example, we may use third-party cookies to deliver our ads on third-party websites through a common form of online advertising known as "retargeting." Retargeting works by serving ads on one website based on an individual's activities on a different website (for example, if you view a product or service on our website, you may later see ads for our products and services when you visit a third-party website). To do this, we may allow our online partners (such as Google or other ad network vendors) to serve their own third-party cookies when users visit our website, allowing these online partners to recognize users who have previously visited our website. When these users visit a third-party website that includes features provided by our online partners (for example, where our online partners have purchased ad space), our online partners can recognize the users' interest in our products and services and deliver one of our ads on the third-party website. We may use Google Analytics to generate statistical and other information about the use of our websites by means of cookies. Google Analytics may set cookies on your browser or mobile device or read cookies that are already there to collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites or online services. Google Analytics may also receive information about you from apps you have downloaded that partner with Google. To learn more about Google’s privacy policy, please visit: http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/. You can also learn more about how to opt out of the collection and processing of such information by Google by visiting this website: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. We, or our third-party vendors, may collect personal information about your online activities over time when you use our sites.
You can choose whether to give us your personal information. You can also choose to disable tracking tools like cookies. If you do not give us certain information we ask, or turn off tracking tools, our websites may not work as well. To learn more about cookies and your ability to opt-out of certain advertising cookies, please visit the following websites: http://www.aboutads.info/choices or http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices.

California Consumer Privacy Act
If you are a resident of California, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, California Civil Code § 1798.100 et seq., (with any implementing regulations and as may be amended from time to time, “CCPA”). We reserve the right to limit these rights as permitted under applicable law, including where your identity cannot be reasonably verified or to the extent your rights adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. To exercise any of the rights below, please contact us via the contact information above. Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information.
In the preceding twelve (12) months, we have not sold personal information about consumers.
In the preceding twelve (12) months, we have not sold personal information about minors.
Individual Rights
You have the right to know about your personal information that has been collected, disclosed or sold. There are two (2) types of Right to Know Requests you can make:
1. Right to Know – Abbreviated Request (the “Abbreviated Request”). If you make an Abbreviated Request, you will receive the following information about you:
a. Category of personal information collected in the past twelve (12) months,
b. Categories of sources from which that information was collected;
c. The business or commercial purpose(s) for which the information was collected;
d. The categories of third parties with whom your personal information has been shared; and
e. The business or commercial purpose for which ERT sold or disclosed the category of personal information.
2. Right to Know – Specific Pieces of Information Request (the “Specific Request”). If you make a Specific Request, you will receive the following information about you:
a. Specific pieces of personal information collected about you.
This information will be provided to you free of charge, unless ERT determines that your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive. You may request this information twice in a 12-month period. This right is subject to certain exceptions. If you submit a request that is subject to an exception, we will alert you of this when you submit your request.
Right of Deletion
You have the right to request that ERT and our service providers delete personal information which ERT has collected from you upon receipt of a verifiable request. This right is subject to certain exceptions. If you submit a request that is subject to an exception, we will alert you of this when you submit your request.
Right to Opt Out of the Sale of Information
California Consumers have the right to opt-out of the sale of personal information by a business that sells personal information. ERT does not sell personal information of California Consumers.
Submitting Requests
You may submit your request by contacting us at the email and telephone number provided under “Contacting Us” above.
Verifying Requests
ERT provides California Consumers with the ability to submit requests through our telephone number and our email address. ERT must verify that the person requesting information or deletion is the California Consumer about whom the request relates in order to process the request. To verify a California Consumer’s identity, we may request up to up to three pieces of personal information about you when you make a request to compare against our records. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with your personal information if we cannot verify your identity. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use your personal information provided in your request to verify your identity and will delete any information you provide after processing the request. ERT reserves the right to take additional steps as necessary to verify the identity of California Consumers where we have reason to believe a request is fraudulent.
Authorized Agent
California Consumers may use an authorized agent to submit their request. The authorized agent must be registered with the California Secretary of State and be authorized to submit requests on behalf of a consumer. If you are an authorized agent and a consumer has given you signed permission to submit a request on his or her behalf, please send a copy of your signed permission by the consumer to ERT at homes@ert-group.com. Failure to submit proof of signed permission may result in ERT denying a consumer’s request. ERT will require the consumer to verify his or her identity and directly confirm with ERT that the consumer has provided you with permission to submit the request.
Right to Equal Service
ERT will not discriminate against you because you exercised any of your rights, including, but not limited to, by:
• Denying goods or services to you.
• Charging different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties.
• Providing a different level or quality of goods or services to you.
