3.1. Access to Certain Information and Data Portability Rights

You have the right to request us to disclose certain information to you about our collection, sell, share and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. For the avoidance of doubt, we do not provide information beyond the 12-month period unless a regulatory action is taken, and provided that such disclosure would not be impossible or involve a disproportionate effort. You can make a request to us as described below. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose the information you have requested, which could be one of the following types:

  • The categories of personal information, including Sensitive Personal Information, we collected about you;
  • The categories of sources from which the personal information was collected about you;
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting that personal information;

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and about you, and retained, subject to certain exceptions (see below). When applicable, once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies. We will also notify third parties to whom we sold or shared your personal information to delete your information from their records, unless this proves as impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our 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 a customer/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;
  • Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (CalOPPA) or the CPRA;
  • Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent;
  • Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us;
  • Comply with a legal obligation;
  • Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

You can make a request to us as described below.

3.3 Opt-Out Request Rights

You can send a request to us to [email protected] . Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will cease the selling or sharing of your information (and direct our service providers to do so), unless any lawful exception applies. In addition, you have the right to request us to cease from using automated decision-making technology and profiling.

Please note that there may be circumstances in which we are entitled by law to continue to sell or share your data. Also note that your withdrawal of consent shall not affect our right to request your consent to such sell or share again after twelve (12) months.

3.4 Limit Use Request Right

You have the right to request us to limit the use or disclosure of certain Sensitive Personal Information we collected about you to uses necessary to provide you the services, and for certain business purposes (as listed in the Policy).

Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will limit the use or disclosure of your information (and direct our service providers to do so), unless any lawful exception applies.

  • To exercise the access, data portability, correction and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable request to us by email to: [email protected] or directly via the account you maintain with us, if you are a business customer.
  • Please be advised that depending on the type of request you make, certain exceptions may apply according to the applicable legislation, and we reserve the right to exercise those, when applicable.
  • 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 also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child;
  • You may only make such a request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period.
  • The request must:
    • Be made by a registered California resident, or someone on their behalf;
    • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative of yours;
    • Describe your request with sufficient details which will allow us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with any 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 request does not require you to create an account with us if you do not already have one.  We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the identity or authority to make the request.

3.6. Response Timing and Format

  • We strive to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 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.
  • If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to you by email. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding your verifiable request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if that is the case.  
  • For data portability requests, we will select an easily understandable format to provide your personal information that is readily usable 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 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.

4. Non-Discrimination 

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

5. Do not Track Signals 

Do Not Track is a privacy preference that can be configured in certain web browsers (the “DNT Feature”); the DNT Feature, when enabled on a web browser, signals the websites you visit that you do not want certain information about your visit collected. We do not currently respond or recognize DNT Feature signals.
