Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy We have processes in place for assessing, identifying, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats, including potential unauthorized occurrences on or through both, our physical systems and electronic information systems, that could adversely affect the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of our information systems or the information residing on those systems. These include a wide variety of mechanisms, controls, technologies, methods, systems, and other processes that are designed to prevent, detect, or mitigate data loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, or other security incidents or vulnerabilities affecting the data. The data include confidential, proprietary, and business and personal information that we collect, process and store as part of our business, including on behalf of third parties. Additionally, we use processes to oversee and identify material risks from cybersecurity threats associated with our use of third-party technology and systems, including: technology and systems we use for encryption and authentication; employee email; content delivery to customers; back-office support; and other functions. As part of our risk management process, we conduct application security assessments, vulnerability management, and ongoing risk assessments. We also maintain a variety of incident response plans that are utilized when incidents are detected. We are implementing a plan to require employees with access to information systems, including all corporate employees, to undertake data protection and cybersecurity training and compliance programs at least annually.

In addition, we also engage assessors, consultants, auditors, or other third parties to assist with assessing, identifying and managing cybersecurity risks. Our cybersecurity risks and associated mitigations are evaluated by senior leadership, including as part of our risk assessments that are reviewed by the board of directors. The board of directors oversees our policies and procedures for protecting our cybersecurity infrastructure and for compliance with applicable data protection and security regulations and related risks. They also oversee the response to any significant cybersecurity incidents.
