Beginning January 1, 2020, the CCPA gives you certain rights with respect to the processing of your personal data (known as “personal information”, as described in under the CCPA). This supplement provides additional privacy disclosures and informs you of your additional rights as a California resident, and should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy. Personal Information Collected and Processed WheelsAPE Australia Privacy Policy sets forth the categories of personal information that WheelsAPE Australia collects and processes about you, a description of each category, and the sources from which we obtain each category.

REQUESTS, GENERALLY – Please note, if you did not register for a newsletter or contest, or purchase a product, we will not have enough information about you to verify your Right to Know and Right to Delete requests, as we do not keep sufficient information necessary to reidentify and link you to a prior visit to the website where data may have been collected.

User Data

Usage Data

Payment and Purchase Data

Contests, Surveys and Sweepstakes Data

Sale of Personal Information Under the CCPA, a “sale” means providing to a third party personal information for valuable consideration. It does not necessarily mean money was exchanged for the transfer of personal information. We have taken substantial steps to identify whether any of our data sharing arrangements would constitute a “sale” under the CCPA. Due to the complexities and ambiguities in the CCPA, we will continue to evaluate some of our third party relationships as we wait for filial implementing regulations and guidance. For example, it is currently unclear whether the use of certain types of advertising partners would be considered a sale under CCPA. We provide Usage Data to advertising partners, which enables us to provide you with interest-based advertising. If you prefer not to receive interest-based advertising, please opt out by going to your account privacy settings and using the tailored ads opt out toggle. For more information on interest-based advertising, please see our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. We will continue to update our business practices as regulatory guidance becomes available and provides clarity on what constitutes a sale transaction, particularly in the advertising ecosystem.
