Civ. Code §§ 1798.100 to 1798.199) (“CCPA”) and other California-specific privacy laws. The terms “consumer” and “personal information” along with many other terms used within this Notice, have specific definitions and exclusions within the CCPA, and those terms have the same meaning when used within this Notice.

  1. FREE TOURS BY FOOT’S RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW.
    Free Tours by Foot generally operates as either a business or service provider with respect to your information, as those terms are defined within the CCPA. The capacity in which we operate is dependent upon the context in which you interact with us.

Regardless of whether Free Tours by Foot is acting as a business or a service provider with respect to your personal information, we process, retain, use and disclose personal information only as necessary to provide the services we have agreed to provide. Personal information is used strictly for business purposes, and Free Tours by Foot will not sell your personal information, process your personal information for any commercial purpose other than providing the agreed services, or retain, use, or disclose your personal information outside of the scope of the agreement with have with you (or with our customer in the event that we are operating as a service provider with respect to your personal information).

    We collect personal information in our capacity as both a business and a service provider. Over the preceding twelve (12) month period, Free Tours by Foot has collected the below categories of personal information from consumers as a whole:

For example, while payment information is included within the above personal information categories, it may be collected from you in your capacity as a customer of Free Tours by Foot in order to facilitate payment, but it would not be collected from you in your capacity as a visitor to our website. Likewise, while personal information related to protected classification characteristics may voluntarily be provided in your capacity as a job applicant, similar information would not be collected within your capacity as a customer of Free Tours by Foot.
    Free Tours by Foot obtains the categories of personal information identified above from information you provide directly, information you provide indirectly through interactions with our website, applications or advertisements, information provided by our customers, information provided by our partners, information provided by service providers and other third party vendors, information from public record sources, and in some instances, inferences we make based upon that information.
