11. Additional Information for Californian Consumers

The California Consumer Privacy Act (Assembly Bill 375), as amended (“CCPA”), affords Californian consumers specific rights regarding their Personal Information. These rights have been described in this Privacy Policy and are further highlighted in this section.

11a. Your Rights under CCPA regarding Your Personal Information

California law provides you as a consumer specific rights with regard to the management and sale of your Personal Information. You have the right as a Californian consumer to expect disclosures as to whether we for our benefit or on behalf of another company, share or sell the Personal Information we collect or process for commercial gain. The law imposes on certain businesses an obligation to provide the means by which these rights can be exercised.

You may ask that we or partners for whom we process or those working on our behalf take specific actions with regard to the information about you.

You may exercise these rights without concern. You cannot be charged for these requests, penalized in any way, denied benefits, products or services or charged differently for benefits, products or services for doing so. You can do this by contacting us at [email protected].

You, or your authorized agent, may request the following actions in relation to your Personal Information:
Opt-out. Discontinue the sharing, transfer, disclosure or sale of your information and not be contacted to request the resumption of those activities for at least 12-months.

Request to Know. Provide you with information about what we hold and the processing of your Personal Information.

Request to Delete. You have the right to request that we erase your Personal Information and for us to direct the same of any third-party service providers processing your information on our behalf.
Portability. Request that any information held be returned by mail or electronically, and if electronically held, be returned in a format permitting its transfer to another service.

11b. Verifying Your Identity

Please note that after submitting your initial request we may require additional information about your identity if we cannot verify it with the information you submitted and the information we already have. We are restricted from using that additional information for any purpose other than verifying your request or for security or fraud prevention. Except as required under CCPA, we must delete any additional information collected for the purpose of verifying your identity as soon as practical after processing your request. We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) days from receiving it and will respond within the timelines established under CCPA.

We, or our partners, on verification of your identity and legitimate standing to make the request, and if not an undue or unreasonable hardship for us, must act on your request, or at a very minimum, advise you as to why we cannot. There are specific reasons under the law which prevent accommodation of some requests, but if denied, we will advise as to why, to whom you may submit a complaint, and your options for challenge, redress or escalation.

11c. Exercising Your Rights

If you have a specific question or concern about your rights, or questions about our Privacy Policy in support of your rights as a Californian consumer or wish to exercise your rights as a Californian consumer, please contact us at [email protected].

11d. Inquiries, Data or Information Requests, Complaints

If you have questions, would like to submit an inquiry, data or information request(s), or have a complaint about our use of your Personal Information or our response or handling of your requests regarding your Personal Information, you may contact us at [email protected].

You can also submit a complaint to the California Office of the Attorney General here. For more information on the California Consumer Privacy Act, please visit https://www.oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa.
