Privacy Policy
Last revised: December 14, 2022
The Dyrt (“we” or “us”) is committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. The policies below explain how we collect and use your data and information through thedyrt.com (the “website”), mobile applications, social media sites and handles, email, and other online services (our “Services”).
We also include specific disclosures for residents of California.
This policy applies when you interact with our Services. It also applies anywhere it is linked. It does not apply to websites or mobile applications other than the Dyrt’s that may link to the services or be linked to or from the services; please review the privacy policies on those websites and applications directly to understand their privacy practices.
We may change this policy from time to time by updating this page and such changes will be effective from the date they are posted. You should check this page from time to time to review it for any changes. Your continued use of the website and related services serves as your agreement to those changes. If any changes cause us to materially and retroactively change the purposes for which we use information we collected from you, we will obtain your consent. For additional information about our Services, please see our Terms of Use.
What information we collect
Information you give us
Some of the Services may include features or services that permit you to enter contact information and other information about you. We collect and store any information you enter on our Services. This includes information such as: your name, contact information (such as email address) and demographic information (such as age, education, gender, interests, state and zip code).

- In any other instance where you knowingly volunteer your personal information.
Some of this information may be collected by external parties on our behalf. For example, we use a payment processor when you engage in a transaction in connection with one of our Services; the Dyrt does not itself collect or store payment card information.

California Consumer Privacy Act
The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) provides California residents with rights to receive certain disclosures regarding the collection, use, and sharing of “Personal Information,” as well as rights to know/access, delete, and limit sharing of Personal Information. The CCPA defines “Personal Information” as “information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household.” Certain information we collect may be exempt from the CCPA because it is considered public information (i.e., it is made available by a government entity) or covered by a specific federal privacy law, such as the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
To the extent that we collect Personal Information that is subject to the CCPA, that information, our practices, and your rights are described below.
You have the right to be free from discrimination based on your exercise of your CCPA rights.
Right to Notice at Collection Regarding the Categories of Personal Information Collected

Right to Opt-Out of Sale of Personal Information to Third Parties
You have the right to opt-out of any sale of your Personal Information by us to third parties.
We sell information to third parties. To “sell” information means to disclose it to a company for monetary or other benefit.

We may also disclose information to other entities who are not listed here when required by law or to protect our Company or other persons, as described in our Privacy Policy above.
Right to Information Regarding Participation in Data Sharing for Financial Incentives or Price or Service Differences
We offer two types of financial incentives or price or service differences.
