A business that collects a consumer’s personal information shall, at or before the point of collection, inform consumers as to the categories of personal information to be collected and the purposes for which the categories of personal information shall be used. A business shall not collect additional categories of personal information or use personal information collected for additional purposes without providing the consumer with notice consistent with this section.

(Cal. Civil Code §1798.100(b).)

This Notice is designed to inform you, the consumer, as to the categories of personal information the Company collects about you and the purposes for which the Company collects such information.
