ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES: U.S. STATE PRIVACY NOTICE & CALIFORNIA NOTICE AT COLLECTION

One such law is the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Consumer Privacy Rights Act (“CCPA”). These consumer privacy laws grant their residents certain rights and require additional disclosures (“State Privacy Laws”). If you are a resident of a state that has enacted State Privacy Laws, this section applies to you.
Personal information collected and shared
Shine the Light
California law permits residents of California to request certain details about how their information is shared with third parties for direct marketing purposes. Under the law, a business must either provide this information or permit California residents to opt in to, or opt out of, this type of sharing. To opt out of having information about you shared with third parties for direct marketing purposes, please visit the following link: Do Not Sell My Personal Information.
Certain State Privacy Laws, including the CCPA, require us to disclose what categories of information we have collected in the last twelve months and what categories of information we have “shared” or “sold” as those terms are defined under California law. You can find a list of the categories of information that we have collected and shared or sold, as those terms are defined under applicable State Privacy Laws.

Notice of Financial Incentive and Loyalty Programs
We offer price discounts, coupons, promotional credits, services, and other benefits for (1) members of customer programs such as our Follett Content eFairs Program; (2) large volume customers; (3) members of our mailing list; (4) Follett Content Account Holders (collectively “Programs”).
Through these offerings, customers provide us with the necessary business and personal information (e.g., names, emails, phone numbers, etc.) when they opt in to our Programs. There is no obligation to opt in and customers may opt out at any time. The details of each Program are contained in the terms and conditions for each Program. We offer these Programs, among other things, to enhance our relationship with you so you can enjoy more of our products/services at a lower price. We invest in our marketing and brands, in part, so we can provide Programs to our customers. The value to our business of customers’ personal information is dependent on specific facts such as whether and to what extent they, in the aggregate, take advantage of any offerings and whether and to what extent they opt-out of any offerings. Our ability to create any value from the Programs is heavily based on our ability to leverage said intellectual properties. We do not calculate the value of customer data in our accounting statements. To the extent we create overall value from our Programs to our business that could be directly or reasonably related to the value of customer data in the aggregate, the method for calculating same would include: the costs associated with (1) our intellectual property; (2) enhancing customer data by our marketing team’s efforts; (3) leveraging our significant investments in understanding you as our existing and future customers; (4) all other costs reasonably related to the programs and (5) for each program, and in the aggregate, whether the sales generated by the program(s) exceed the cost to us of offering them. We estimate that the value of these Programs is at least equal to the value of the information you provide when you participate in them.
You can opt in to, or opt out of, our Programs at any time through the same means they are offered, or by emailing our Customer Service Department, by calling Customer Service at 1- 888.511.5114 extension 45231 or contacting privacy@follettcontent.com.
