California “Shine the Light” Law
California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as S.B. 27) allows California residents to request from companies conducting business in California certain information relating to third parties to which the company has disclosed certain categories of personal information during the preceding year for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. Alternatively, the law provides that a company may comply, as 1939 Group does, by disclosing in its privacy policy that it provides consumers choice (opt in or opt out) regarding sharing personal information with third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes, and information on how to exercise that choice. As stated in this Privacy Policy, 1939 Group provides you choice prior to sharing your personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. If you do not opt-in or if you opt-out at the time we offer that choice, we do not share your information with that identified third party for its direct marketing purposes.
If you are a California resident and you have questions about our practices with respect to sharing information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes and your ability to exercise choice, please write to us at 1939 Group, Inc., 11420 Lackland Rd., St. Louis, MO 63146 ATTN: Privacy Officer.

However, if you are a Nevada resident, you may still submit an opt-out request, and if our practices were to change in the future, we would honor your request. Your request to opt out of the sale of your covered information must be emailed with the subject line “Nevada Do Not Sell Request” along with your full name, street address, city, state, zip code, and a valid email address so that we can contact you if needed regarding your request. You may be required to take reasonable steps as we determine from time to time to verify your identity and/or the authenticity of your request.
