If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Notice.

Financial Incentives

"Financial incentive" means a program, benefit, or other offering, including payments to consumers as compensation, for the disclosure, deletion, sale, or sharing of Personal Information.

The law permits financial incentives or a price or service difference if it is reasonably related to the value of the consumer’s data. A business must be able to explain how the financial incentive or price or service difference is reasonably related to the value of the consumer’s data. The explanation must include:

  • a good-faith estimate of the value of the consumer’s data that forms the basis for offering the financial incentive or price or service difference; and
  • a description of the method the business used to calculate the value of the consumer’s data.

We may decide to offer a "bona fide loyalty program" under Colorado law, or a "financial incentive" under California law (e.g., price or service difference) in exchange for the retention, sale, or sharing of a consumer’s Personal Information.

If we decide to offer a financial incentive, we will notify you of such financial incentive and explain the price difference, as well as material terms of the financial incentive or price of service difference, including the categories of Personal Information that are implicated by the financial incentive or price or service difference.

Under California law, the value of your Personal Information to us is related to the value of the free or discounted products or services, or other benefits that you obtain or that are provided as part of the applicable program, less the expense related to offering those products, services, and benefits to program participants.

If you choose to participate in the financial incentive you can withdraw from the financial incentive at any time by emailing us at data@poieto.com, or by referring to the contact details at the bottom of this document.
