We do not sell Your Personal Information for money. Some states define a “Sale” of Personal Information to include receipt of any benefit for the disclosure of Personal Information. We may be considered to “Sell” Personal Information, as that term is defined by some state laws, to send You marketing-related communications, analyze or predict Your preferences, and prepare aggregated trend reports, for example.

We retain Personal Information, including Sensitive Personal Information, for as long as needed or permitted in light of the purpose(s) for which it was collected.  The criteria used to determine Our retention periods include: 

• The length of time We have an ongoing relationship with You and provide services to You (for example, for as long as You have an account with Us or keep using Our services) and the length of time thereafter during which We may have a legitimate need to reference Your Personal Information to address issues that may arise;
• Whether there is a legal obligation to which We are subject (for example, certain laws require Us to keep records of Your transactions for a certain period of time before We can delete them); or

If You are a resident of Colorado, Connecticut, Nevada, Utah, or Virginia, You have certain rights under the privacy laws of those states, subject to applicable exceptions or limitations. Corteva voluntarily extends these privacy rights to all US residents. Please see the provisions below for additional rights available to California residents. If You make a privacy request, We will maintain a record of Your request and Our response to it.

You may request that Your inaccurate Personal Information be corrected or updated, subject to certain exceptions. We may request documentation to determine the accuracy of the requested correction or update.

You may ask Us to confirm whether We are processing Personal Information about You and request a copy of the specific pieces of Personal Information, subject to certain exceptions.

You may request that We delete the Personal Information that We have about You, subject to certain exceptions. In some circumstances, in response to a deletion request We may choose to anonymize, aggregate, or deidentify Your Personal Information so that it cannot be linked to or used to identify You.

You may opt-out of the Sale of Personal Information, as defined by state law.

You may opt-out of Targeted Advertising. “Targeted Advertising” means the display of advertisements where the advertisement is selected based on Personal Information obtained from a person’s activities over time and across nonaffiliated websites or online applications. You may receive Targeted Advertising even when Corteva does not share any Personal Information about You. After opting out of Targeted Advertising You still may see Corteva advertisements that are unrelated to Targeted Advertising.

You have the right to be free from unlawful discriminatory treatment for exercising Your rights under applicable privacy law.

Corteva recognizes Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals for California and Nevada residents to opt-out of Sale/Sharing for Cross-Context Behavioral Advertising. GPC is a technical specification for transmitting universal opt-out signals. You can enable GPC by installing a browser or extension that supports the signal.

While We recognize the GPC signal as a valid request to opt-out of Sale/Sharing for a particular browser or device transmitting the signal, We may not be able to relate the browser or device to You and therefore will not have enough information to opt You out of all Sale/Sharing. If You wish to opt-out of all Sale/Sharing including offline Sale/Sharing of Personal Information You should submit a privacy request. You may make such a request here.

California law provides individuals the right to limit the use or disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information for the purpose of inferring characteristics about an individual. Corteva does not collect, use, or disclose Sensitive Personal Information for such purposes.

Any such request must include in the first line of the description “California Privacy Shine the Light Request” and include Your name, street address, city, state, and zip code.
