Below we provide you additional notices about our privacy practices and consumer rights relating to your information. Some of the rights may depend on when the law is effective and whether you are a resident of a state with specific privacy laws, as well as other factors.

Sensitive Personal Information
Privacy laws specify certain rights with respect to our collection of certain information those laws designate as “Sensitive Personal Information.” As described above, we collect precise geolocation information, which is defined as “Sensitive Personal Information” under state privacy laws. We collect that information from users in accordance with their device permissions.
Right to Limit Processing of Sensitive Personal Information
When we collect your Sensitive Personal Information, we collect and use that information in order to perform the services or provide the goods for which that information is necessary and as reasonably expected by you. Moreover, we do not use your sensitive personal information for the purpose of inferring any characteristics about you. We will notify you if we will use your Sensitive Personal Information for purposes you might not reasonably expect so that you can request that we limit that processing.
Sale Of Personal Information
State privacy laws require that, if applicable, we provide certain disclosures about personal information we “sell.” The “sale” of personal information is defined as certain scenarios in which Rocket has shared personal information with third parties or Third-Party Partners, in exchange for valuable consideration.
Under the various definitions in state privacy laws, we do not “sell” personal information.
Sharing of Personal Information for Targeted Advertising
California requires that we notify you if we “share” your personal information with third parties. “Sharing” means that we make available or otherwise disclose your information to third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising. Further, “cross-context behavioral advertising” means the targeting of advertising to you based on your personal information obtained from your activity across businesses, websites, apps, and services other than our Services.
Similarly, privacy laws in other states require that we notify you if we ”share” your information for Targeted Advertising. Targeted Advertising means displaying advertisements to you where the advertisement is selected based on personal information obtained from your activities over time and across nonaffiliated websites or online applications to predict your preferences or interests.
We do not “Share” your information for Targeted Advertising.

We will not retain your personal information for longer than is reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes we disclose in this policy.

You may make these requests by starting a request online or calling 888-444-7492. We’ll verify your request by asking you to provide information related to your recent interactions with us.
If we receive your request from an authorized agent, we may ask for evidence that you’ve provided such agent with a power of attorney, or that the agent otherwise has valid written authority to submit requests to exercise rights on your behalf.
