c. Additional Notice for California Residents
Categories of information. In at least the past 12 months, Digs collected the categories of Personal Information described above in this Policy, including: identifiers (such as name, email address, IP address); commercial information (such as transactions and subscriptions); internet activity (such as pages visited, platform interactions); geolocation data (where browsers share such information); and sensitive Personal Information (such as account credentials).

Digs may offer discounts or other benefits to individuals enrolled in certain subscriptions or programs: Individuals can opt-in to such programs where offered—please refer to such offers for details about each program’s benefits, terms and conditions, and please note that they are subject to change from time to time. Individuals can always opt-out of these programs.
Digs does not generally assign monetary value to individuals’ Personal Information, and promotions activity associated with any subscription or program change continually. To the extent California law requires that a value be assigned to such programs, or to the price or service differences they involve, Digs values the information collected and used under each program as being equal to the value of the discounts or other financial incentives provided in each such program, based upon a practical and good-faith effort to assess, on an aggregate basis for all collected information: (i) the type of information collected in each program (e.g., email address), (ii) the use of such information by us in connection with its marketing activities, (iii) the range of discounts provided (which can depend on each individual’s use of such offers), (iv) the number of total individuals enrolled in the programs, and (v) the products for which the benefits (such as a discount) can apply.

Do Not Track. Do Not Track (DNT) is a privacy preference you can set in most browsers but there is no standard interpretation or practice for responding to DNT signals (see https://allaboutdnt.com/ for more information), and Digs therefore handles all user information consistent with this Policy.
