“Sale” of Personal Information: When you interact with our website, we may use, or authorize third-party partners and service providers to use, cookies, web beacons and similar technologies to improve your experience with us. These technologies can collect personal information about you that can be used by us and/or our authorized third-party partners and service providers. Our sharing of your personal information in this way MAY constitute a “sale” under the CCPA.

• Identifiers and
• Internet or other similar network activity.

• Sending us a letter to KSM, PO Box 391, Rockvale, TN 37153.

If you’d like to opt-out of the sale of personal information, please use at least one of the above contact methods. Since we are a very small nonprofit with no paid staff, please allow at least three (3) weeks for us to process your request. Be sure to include information on your ISP so that we can best work with you to honor this request.

Verification of Identity: We will need to verify your identity before processing your request. In order to verify your identity, we will generally require the matching of sufficient information you provide us to the information we maintain about you in our systems. If you are using an authorized agent, please note that you will be required to verify your identity and provide written confirmation that you have authorized the agent to make a request on your behalf. For requests to access or delete, we may require you to verify your identity directly with us, and directly confirm with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request.

KSM As a “Service Provider”: KSM acts as a service provider through our website. We do not provide for additional services that are typically provided as an ISP (i.e., such as domain registration, email accounts and similar). If you are seeking to exercise your rights under the CCPA, in most cases you should start by contacting your ISP and working directly with them.
