We do not sell your personal information for money. To the extent any disclosure to a third party could be considered “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising under California law, you may opt out at any time — see Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as a valid opt-out request. We do not knowingly collect or share the personal information of anyone under 21.

• Delete. Request deletion of the personal information we have collected, subject to legal exceptions.
• Correct. Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
• Opt out of sale / sharing. We do not sell your information; you may still opt out of any “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising.

You may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf, provided they give us written permission and we can verify your identity.

Identity verification

To protect your information, we verify requests by matching the phone number and other details you provide against your account. We may ask for additional information to confirm your identity, and we use that information only to process your request.

Data retention

We retain each category of personal information for as long as your account is active and as needed to fulfill the purposes described above and to meet our legal, accounting, and reporting obligations, after which we delete or de-identify it.

This section is a general description of your rights and is not legal advice. The business operating TankPerks should have this notice reviewed by qualified counsel.
