Some browsers or browser extensions also allow you to tell websites not to share your information for cross-contextual behavioral advertising through the “global privacy control” signal. We will respond to this signal in a frictionless manner. If you configure this setting on your browser, certain features on our site may not work and you will receive less targeted advertising.

Options you make are device specific.

Residents of some jurisdictions (e.g., California, Virginia, Colorado) have the ability to opt out of cross-contextual behavioral advertising through other means. Please see the Right to Opt-out of Sale or Sharing section below.

If you are a resident of California, or jurisdictions with similar laws (e.g., Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Virginia), you may have certain additional privacy rights under the applicable privacy laws in your state (“State Privacy Laws”).  This section generally describes those rights and how you can exercise them.

These rights are not absolute.  In some situations we may not be able to process your request. This may include if a legal exception applies. We will let you know when or if a right does not apply to you. You will not be discriminated against for exercising a privacy right. Those rights are:

  1. Access: to learn the categories of information we collect and use, and for those in California, the categories and sources of collection and disclosure and the business purpose for collection;
  2. Portability: a copy of (Virginia) or specific pieces of (California) Personal Information collected;

  4. Correction: asking us to fix your information

We will also maintain a record of your rights requests.

Exercising Your Rights

To submit a request to know, please send an email to neat.privacy@neat.no.  You must provide us with your first name, last name, postal address and email address.  To verify your identity, we will match that information to the information we have on our systems.  To designate an authorized agent to act on your behalf you must send a signed, written authorization containing your first name, last name, email address, and phone number to: neat.privacy@neat.no.

You can also call us toll free at (888) 632-1967 to submit your request by phone.  You must provide us with all of the information set forth above in any such request, including what request you are making.

Right to Opt-out of the Sale or Sharing of Personal Information

Residents of certain jurisdictions (e.g., Colorado, Virginia) have the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of their personal data, as such terms are defined under State Privacy Laws.

Under California law, “share” means disclosing your personal information by us to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising, in exchange for money or anything else of value.  Thus, when we use the term “share” under this section, we are using it in the narrow meaning of how it is defined under California law. Other State Privacy Laws do not use the term “share”, but describe the concept as using personal information for targeted advertising.

The term “sell” has different meaning under certain State Privacy Laws.  For example, under the laws of California and Colorado, “sell” means exchanging your personal information by us with a third party for money or anything else of value, while under Virginia law, “sell” is the exchange of personal information for money only.

Currently, we participate in digital advertising networks to deliver advertising that is tailored to your interests. The participation in certain ad networks can constitute a “sale” or “sharing” of personal data under State Privacy Laws. The categories of third parties to whom information may be disclosed in this context is our third party partners (e.g., advertisers and marketing partners and data analytics providers).

We may “sell” and/or “share” the following categories of Personal Information:

You can opt-out of being tracked by these third parties by clicking the link at the bottom of our Site.

Right to Opt-out of Profiling

Residents of some jurisdictions (e.g., California, Colorado, Virginia) – subject to certain exceptions – may have a right to opt out of forms of automated processing performed on Personal Information to evaluate, analyze or predict personal aspects related to your economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements (“Profiling”).

We engage in cookie-based or digital advertising-based Profiling. To opt out of this practice, please follow the instructions detailed above regarding opting out of the sale or sharing of your Personal Information.

We also engage in Profiling when we assess your interaction with this Site and our Services for the purpose of providing you information on additional products and services which may be of interest to you. Note, you can opt out of marketing emails as explained in the “Managing Your Marketing Preferences” section above.

We do not otherwise engage in Profiling.

Right to Limit Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information

Residents of some jurisdictions (e.g., California) have a right to limit the processing of their Sensitive Personal Information (as defined by the applicable State Privacy Law). We do not collect or process Sensitive Personal Information for inferring characteristics or use or disclose Sensitive Personal Information for purposes other than those permitted by law.

Right to Appeal

Residents of some jurisdictions (e.g., Virginia, Colorado) have a right to appeal our decision on a privacy rights request. If we were unable to fulfill your request, you may appeal our request by contacting us at neat.privacy@neat.no within fourteen days of our decision, and provide a detailed reason for your appeal, as well as your state of residence.

The terms of the financial incentive will be presented to you at the time you sign up.  You may withdraw from any of the financial incentives by contacting us at neat.privacy@neat.no or by unsubscribing to our email marketing by vising our website.  The value of your data is the value of the offer presented to you.  We have calculated the value of the incentive by using the expense related to the offer.
