In particular, Yepp collected the following categories of PII (A, B, D, E, F, and G) as defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act within the last twelve months. Yepp’s uses of this PII are detailed above in this Privacy Policy:

Biometric Information | Genetic, physiological, behavioral, and biological characteristics, or activity patterns used to extract a template or other identifier or identifying information, such as fingerprints, faceprints, and voiceprints, iris or retina scans, keystroke, gait, or other physical patterns, and sleep, health, or exercise data. | YES |
| E. Internet or other similar network activity | Browsing history, search history, information on a consumer’s interaction with a website, application, or advertisement. | YES |
| F. Geolocation data | Physical location or movements. | YES |
Yepp obtains these categories of PII directly from California residents when they visit our website, use our mobile application, create a user account with our mobile application, use features of our mobile application, or provide it to us as a part of a transaction or inquiry concerning our services. Yepp also obtains these categories of PII indirectly from California residents while observing their actions on our Site and from third parties or service providers that they have authorized to receive and share PII.
California residents have a right to request that we disclose what PII we collect from you and whether, and how, we disclose or sell that PII. California residents may also request that we delete any personal information collected or maintained by us from you.
California residents may also have the right to opt out of the sale of their personal information by contacting us or, where available, by clicking a link or icon associated with an advertisement. Specifically, this link or icon may state “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” or “Do Not Sell My Info.” By selecting this link or icon, you “Opt Out,” which means that you have opted out of the sale of your personal information as set forth in the California Consumer Privacy Act. However, even though you may have opted out, you may still see interest-based advertisements. To learn more about interest-based advertising across websites and additional opt-out choices, you can visit https://optout.aboutads.info. If you opt-out of the sale of your personal information but do not opt out of interest-based advertising more generally, you may still receive ads tailored to your interests based on PII that was not sold by us, personal information that was sold to downstream participants at least 90 days before you opted out, or personal information that was sold by other sources from which you have not opted out.
To submit a request for a list of the categories of PII collected from you or to request that Yepp delete your PII, please email us at support@yepp.pe.
