13. California Residents

13.1 As provided by California Civil Code Section 1798.83, a California resident who has provided Personal Information to a business with whom he/she has established a business relationship for personal, family, or household purposes ("California customer") is entitled to request information about whether the business has disclosed Personal Information to any third-parties for the third-parties' direct marketing purposes. In general, if the business has made such a disclosure of Personal Information, upon receipt of a request by a California customer, the business is required to provide a list of all third-parties to whom personal information was disclosed in the preceding calendar year, as well as a list of the categories of Personal Information that were disclosed.
13.2 However, under the law, a business is not required to provide the above-described lists if the business adopts and discloses to the public (in its Privacy Policy) a policy of not disclosing customer's Personal Information to third-parties for their direct marketing purposes unless the customer first affirmatively agrees to the disclosure, as long as the business maintains and discloses this policy. Rather, the business may comply with the law by notifying the customer of his or her right to prevent disclosure of Personal Information and providing a cost-free means to exercise that right.
13.3 As stated in this Privacy Policy, we do not share information with third-parties for their direct marketing purposes unless you affirmatively agree to such disclosure - typically by opting-in to receive information from a third-party that is participating in some activity described on one of our websites.

(a) If you do ask us to share your information with a third-party for its marketing purposes, we will share information only in connection with that specific activity, as we do not share information with any third-party on a continual basis.
(b) To prevent disclosure of your Personal Information for use in direct marketing by a third-party, do not opt-in to such use when you provide personally identifiable information on one of our websites.
(c) Please note that whenever you opt-in to receive future communications from a third-party, your information will be subject to the third-party's privacy policy.
(d) If you later decide that you do not want that third-party to use your information, you will need to contact the third-party directly, as we have no control over how third-parties use information.
(e) You should always review the privacy policy of any party that collects your information to determine how that entity will handle your information.

13.4 California customers may request further information about our compliance with this law by e-mailing on the Contact Us or Support pages at www.MagicWebsiteMaker.com™.
13.5 Please note that we are required to respond only to one request per customer each year, and we are not required to respond to requests made by means other than through this e-mail address.
