Your Rights and Choices

The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their Personal Information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights. The CCPA rights described below do not apply to information collected in the employment context about our current, former or prospective employees or contractors (who receive separate disclosures under the CCPA) or to information collected about California business contacts (employees, owners, directors, officers, or contractors of companies, sole proprietorships, and other entities collected in the context of conducting due diligence regarding, or providing or receiving a product or service to or from, such companies, sole proprietorships, or entities).  California business contacts have the right to tell us not to sell their information; please see below for how to exercise this right.

Right to Know our Information Practices and to Access Specific Information (Data Portability Rights)

You have the right to request that we disclose to you the Personal Information that we collect, use, or disclose.  Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights), we will disclose to you:

  • Information Collection Practices. When you request disclosure about our Information Collection Practices, we will disclose the categories of Personal Information we collected about you in the prior 12 months, the sources and commercial purpose for collecting the information and whether the information was sold or disclosed for a business purpose.
  • Information Sharing Practices. When you request disclosure about our Information Sharing Practices we will disclose the categories of Personal Information we have disclosed to third parties for a business purpose and the categories of Personal Information we have sold and the categories of third parties receiving such information during the prior 12 months.
  • Specific Information About You. When you request disclosure of the specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you (also called a data portability request) during the prior 12 months, we will provide you with a secure copy of the Personal Information we collected about you during the prior 12 months.  We will require enhanced identity verification to complete this type of request for your security.

Right to Request Deletion

You have the right to request that we delete any of your Personal Information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights), we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your Personal Information from our records, unless an exception applies. We will require enhanced identity verification to complete this type of request for your security.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

  1. Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
  2. Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
  3. Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 seq.).
  4. Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
  5. Comply with a legal obligation.
  6. Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

 

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:

Under the CCPA, you may exercise these rights yourself or you may designate an authorized agent to make these requests on your behalf.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative. The request must include your full name, current residence address, email address, telephone number and whether you are a business contact or a current, former or prospective employee.
  • Describe which type of disclosure you are requesting with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
  • Provide a signed Declaration of Identity if the request is for deletion of Personal Information or Specific Information About You.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you.

We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

  • Deny you goods or services.
  • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
  • Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
  • Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.

Changes to Our Notice

We reserve the right to amend this privacy Notice at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes to this Notice, we will post the updated Notice on the Website and update the Notice’s date. Your continued use of our Website following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes.
