Notice to California Residents: Each capitalized term used, but not defined, in this section shall have the meaning given to such term in the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”). Personal information as defined in the CCPA shall be included in personal information as used in this Policy. If you are a resident of California, and if CCPA applies to the processing of your information, where applicable, you may have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, to ask that your personal information be corrected, updated, ported, or erased, and to opt-out of the sale of your personal information. If you would like to exercise these rights, please contact us through the means indicated at the end of this Policy. If you would like to designate an authorized agent to submit these requests on your behalf, please contact us through the means indicated at the end of this Policy.

Please note the CCPA contains certain exceptions to applicability with respect to employees, job applicants, and business contacts. Therefore, these rights may not apply to data processed for the purposes of job applications, employment, or business association. Additional upcoming changes in the law may further change the applicability of California laws to you and the information we collect about you. Please contact us with any questions about your data.

Right of Access to Specific Information: You may have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm a valid verifiable Consumer request, we will disclose:

The categories of personal information we collected about you;
The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you;
Our business or commercial purpose for collecting, sharing, or selling that personal information;
The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information;
The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request) and provide a copy to you in an electronic or paper format; and
The categories of personal information, if any, we disclosed for a business purpose to a third party.

Deletion Request Right: You may 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 a valid verifiable Consumer request, we will delete (and direct our Contractors and Service Providers to delete) personal information from our (and their) records, unless an exception applies (as described below).

As permitted by CCPA we may delete personal information by (a) permanently and completely erasing the personal information on our existing systems with the exception of archived or backup systems; (b) de-identifying the personal information; or, (c) aggregating the personal information.

We may deny a deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or one of our Contractors or Service Providers to:

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;
Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities;
Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality;
Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law;

Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us;
Comply with a legal, regulatory or law enforcement obligation; or
Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

Exercising Access, Data Portability, Correction, and Deletion Rights: To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable Consumer request to us by calling using the contact information at the end of this Policy. Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable Consumer request related to your personal information. You may only make a verifiable Consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. To be verifiable, the 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 of that person and
Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

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 that the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable Consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable Consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Upon receiving data access, correction, data port, or deletion request from you, we will verify your identity based on the information we have on file for you. Upon verification of your identity, we will proceed to process your request (subject to the exceptions stated above).

We endeavor to confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) days of receiving it. We will respond to a verifiable Consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to an additional forty-five (45) days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

We will deliver our written response via email to the email address associated with you or, if we are unable to determine your email address, via mail.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable Consumer request 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 simply for exercising valid rights under the CCPA.

If we collect your personal information for one purpose and need to process it for a second purpose, we will provide you with additional information regarding this secondary purpose to ensure fair and transparent processing before we engage in further processing. Collecting and processing your personal information to create both general and targeted advertising is a primary purpose for collecting your personal information.

Security of Information

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal information and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal information for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal information for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered, or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal information breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Retention of Information

We will only retain your personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal information for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation with respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

In some circumstances, you can ask us to delete your data, as described in this Policy.

General Disclosures

Protecting Children: Our Services are for adults and are not intended for children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect data relating to children.

Cybersecurity: We use robust security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and help ensure the appropriate use of information. To protect your personal information, we use physical safeguards including secured access to our facilities. We also limit access to your personal information to only those employees and service contractors that have a need to access it. Additionally, when the Services are accessed using the Internet, we use Transport Layer Security (TLS) technology to protect the information using both server authentication and data encryption. We also implement other advanced technology measures to prevent interference or access from outside intruders. We offer enhanced security features within the Services that permit users to configure security settings to the level they deem necessary, such as forced password changes and IP restrictions.

The safety and security of your information also depend on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password and/or username for access to certain parts of our Service, you are responsible for keeping such information confidential. We ask you not to share your password or username with anyone. We ask you to select unique and secure passwords when setting up profiles in our Service.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your information, we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted to our Service. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Service.
