California Privacy Rights

​

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives California residents rights described below with respect to their Personal Information.

​

Your Right To Request Disclosure of Information We Collect and Share About You

 

We are committed to ensuring that you know what Personal Information we collect. To that end, you can ask us for any or all of following types of information regarding the Personal Information we have collected about you in the 12 months prior to our receipt of your request:

 

  • Specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you;

  • Categories of Personal Information we have collected about you;

  • Categories of sources from which such Personal Information was collected;

  • Categories of Personal Information that the business sold or disclosed for a business purpose about the consumer;

  • Categories of third parties to whom the Personal Information was sold or disclosed for a business purpose; and

  • The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling your Personal Information.

 

Your Right To Request Deletion of Personal Information We Have Collected About You

 

Upon your request, we will delete the Personal Information we have collected about you, except for situations where the CCPA authorizes us to retain specific information, including when it is necessary for us to provide you with a good or service that you requested; perform a contract we entered into with you; maintain the functionality or security of our systems; or comply with or exercise rights provided by the law. The law also permits us to retain specific information for our exclusively internal use, but only in ways that are compatible with the context in which you provided the information to us or that are reasonably aligned with your expectations based on your relationship with us. We will act on your deletion request within the timeframes set forth below.

 

Exercising Your Rights and How We Will Respond

 

To exercise any of the rights above contact us here.

​

For requests for access or deletion, we will first acknowledge receipt of your request within 10 business days of receipt of your request. We will provide a substantive response to your request as soon as we can, generally within 45 days from when we receive your request, although we may be allowed to take longer to process your request under certain circumstances.

​

If we expect your request is going to take us longer than normal to fulfill, we will let you know.

​

We usually act on requests and provide information free of charge, but we may charge a reasonable fee to cover our administrative costs of providing the information in certain situations. In some cases, the law may allow us to refuse to act on certain requests. When this is the case, we will endeavor to provide you with an explanation as to why.

​

Our Commitment to Allowing You to Exercise Your Rights – Non-Discrimination

​

If you exercise any of the rights explained in this Privacy Notice, we will continue to treat you fairly. If you exercise your rights under this Privacy Notice, you will not be denied or charged different prices or rates for goods or services, or provided a different level or quality of goods or services than others.

​

Verification of Identity – Access or Deletion Requests

​

We will ask you for identifying information and attempt to match it to information that we maintain about you.

​

If we are unable to verify your identity with the degree of certainty required, we will not be able to respond to your request. We will notify you to explain the basis of the denial.

​

Authorized Agents

​

You may designate an agent to submit requests on your behalf. The agent must be a natural person or a business entity that is registered with the California Secretary of State.

 

If you would like to designate an agent to act on your behalf, you and the agent will need to comply with our verification process. Specifically, if the agent submits requests to access, know or delete your Personal Information, the agent will need to provide us with your signed permission indicating the agent has been authorized to submit the request on your behalf. We will also require that you verify your identity directly with us or confirm with us that you provided the agent with permission to submit the request.

 

Please note that this subsection does not apply when an agent is authorized to act on your behalf pursuant to a valid power of attorney. Any such requests will be processed in accordance with California law pertaining to powers of attorney.

 

Do Not Track

​

Some browsers have a “do not track” feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. At this time, our Site does not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) header signals.

 

California Shine the Light

 

California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine the Light” law, permits California residents that have an established business relationship with a business to annually request, free of charge, information about certain categories of Personal Information a business has disclosed to third parties for those parties’ direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year. Separately, we do not disclose Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. For more information, please contact us here.

 

Personal Information of Minors

 

Our products and services are not directed to minors under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect or sell the Personal Information of minors under 16. If a child under 13 submits Personal Information to us and we learn that we have collected any Personal Information of a child under 13, we will promptly take steps to delete such Personal Information and terminate the child’s account as soon as possible. If you believe that we may have collected Personal Information from a child under 13, please contact us as set forth below.

 

How We Keep Your Personal Information Secure

 

We implement and maintain reasonable security measures appropriate to the nature of the Personal Information that we collect, use, retain, transfer or otherwise process. Those measures include administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of Personal Information. However, data security incidents and breaches can occur due to a variety of factors that cannot reasonably be prevented; therefore, our safeguards may not always be adequate to prevent all breaches of security.

 

Other Websites and Social Media Buttons

 

Our Site may contain links to other websites or social media buttons. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of those websites or social media platforms. This Privacy Policy applies only to our business and the Personal Information we collect. Accordingly, we recommend that you carefully review the privacy policies of all third-party websites that you access.

 

Changes to This Privacy Policy

 

We will review and update this Privacy Policy as required to keep current with rules and regulations, new technologies, and security standards. We will post those changes on the website or update the “Last Updated” date of the Privacy Policy. The processing of Personal Information we collect will be subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such Personal Information was collected, used, or disclosed. If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy, you will be notified via email or a notice on our Site.
