Legislation passed in California requires certain specific disclosures be made available to California residents who use the Internet and provide personal information that may be used for marketing purposes. This legislation requires any business that discloses a user's information to any third party for direct marketing purposes to provide the user the means of obtaining the information of any individuals or businesses that may have received such information. You may request this information by e-mailing privacy@besuretotest. Be Sure to Test is not obligated to respond to more than one request per e-mail address per calendar year.
