To the extent legally required to comply with applicable laws and regulations, or to respond to a lawful request, or to otherwise protect our rights, we may also disclose any of the above personal information. As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy assets. In such transactions, personal information collected through the Website may be one of the transferred business assets. Also, in the event that we, or substantially all of our assets, are acquired, such personal information will be included within the transferred assets.

What Personal Information Do We Sell?

Under the definitions of “Sell” and “Sale” in the CCPA, we do not sell your personal information, nor do we sell the personal information of minors under 16 years of age, without affirmative authorization. There are no financial incentives to disclose.

Your Right to Request to Know and How to Submit a Verified Request to Know

A “request to know” is request related to the personal information that a business has about such consumer. It may include a request for any or all of the following from us:

  1. specific pieces of personal information that we have about you;
  2. categories of personal information we have collected about you;
  3. categories of sources from which the personal information was collected;
  4. categories of personal information that we have sold or disclosed for a business purpose about you;
  5. categories of third parties to whom the personal information was sold or disclosed for a business purpose; and
  6. the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling the personal information.

The CCPA permits requests to know from the same consumer up to twice in a twelve (12) month period.

To submit a request to know, please click here, or email your request to [email protected]. To process your request, you may be required to submit your name and email address in conjunction with your request. The name and email address which you provide will be used to verify your request and to attempt to identify you within our data records. If you elect to use an authorized agent to exercise your right to submit a request for information, proof of your consent to utilize such authorized agent as well as verification of your own identity may be required before processing the request. The information which you submit in conjunction with your request to know will be used for the express purposes of verification and providing you with responsive information to your request, if required.

Your Right to Request Deletion and How to Submit a Verified Request to Delete

You have the right to request the deletion of any personal information which we have collected about you, or which we maintain. To submit a verifiable request to delete, please click here, or email your request to [email protected]. To process your request, you may be required to submit your name and email address in conjunction with your request. The name and email address which you provide will be used to verify your request and to attempt to identify you within our data records. If you elect to use an authorized agent to exercise your right to submit a request for deletion, proof of your consent to utilize such authorized agent as well as verification of your own identity may be required before processing the request. The information which you submit in conjunction with your request to delete will be used for the express purposes of verification and fulfilling your request, if required.

A two-step process must be utilized for online requests to delete, whereby you clearly submit your request to delete, and second, you separately confirm that you want your personal information deleted.

To the extent that your personal information is necessary for us to maintain for a reason delineated in Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.105(d), including but not limited to complete a transaction for which the personal information was collected, provide a good or service you have requested, detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, debug, etc., or to comply with a legal obligation, we are not required to comply with your request for deletion. For instance, we are not required to delete personal information which is necessary to maintain suppression files for those individuals who have opted out of receiving email marketing from us. If we are unable to verify your request, we will notify you as well.

Your Right to Non-Discrimination for the Exercise of Your Privacy Rights

California affords consumers with the right not to receive discriminatory treatment by a business for the exercise of their privacy rights conferred by the CCPA. This means that you cannot be denied goods or services; be charged different prices or rates; be provided with a different level or quality of goods or services; or have it suggested that you will receive a different price or rate or different level or quality of goods or services. Notwithstanding the above, a business can charge a consumer a different rate or price or provide a different level or quality of goods or services, if that difference is reasonably related to the value provided to the consumer by the consumer’s data. Further, notwithstanding the above, a business may offer financial incentives for the collection of personal information, the sale of personal information, or the deletion of personal information, and may also offer a different price, rate, level, or quality of goods or services to the consumer if that different is directly related to the value provided to the consumer by the consumer’s data.
