In Short: Yes, if you are a resident of California, you are granted specific rights regarding access to your personal information.
California residents should refer to this paragraph regarding our disclosures and procedures under California’s Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), in addition to the other statements in this policy. Please note that for California residents, if there is any inconsistency between this paragraph and any other statement in this policy, this paragraph will govern our relationship with you. Please also note that this policy does not apply to personal information that is collected by us about individuals applying for employment with us, or about our employees, directors, officers, or contractors, including our collection of emergency contact information for these individuals. Our internal employee privacy policies govern our collection of such information. Please also note that since we do not sell personal information to third parties, this policy does not apply to information concerning a person who is acting as an employee, owner, director, officer, or contractor of a company, partnership, sole proprietorship, non-profit, or government agency with which we do business so long as the information is collected only in relation with business transactions.
During the past twelve (12) months, we have collected only the categories of personal information described in paragraph 1 of this policy. This personal information has been collected and retained for the purposes identified in paragraph 2 of this policy.
During the past twelve (12) months, we have not sold any personal information, including personal information relating to any person below the age of 18 years, to any third party.
During the past twelve (12) months, we have disclosed certain personal information to our affiliated companies and contractors for the purposes described in paragraph 2 of this policy.
The CCPA provides you with the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information by us to any third party and requires us to make this disclosure. We do not sell personal information to any third parties. By law, we cannot and will not engage in any discriminatory conduct against you for exercising your rights under the CCPA.
You have the right to request, free of charge, a (1) disclosure from us regarding the personal information we collect, use, disclose or sell to others; and (2) deletion of your personal information held by us. To make such a request, please contact us at the contact information in paragraph 13. Please note that we will require that you provide us with two (2) items of information concerning you, in addition to your name, that you have already provided us, so that we can verify your identity before disclosing any information to you or complying with a request for deletion. We will only request new items of personal information from you if we cannot verify your identity based upon the information submitted by you with your request. We endeavor to provide information, once we are able to verify your identity, within forty-five (45) days of your initial request. Our responses to requests will generally be limited to information provided to us within the past twelve (12) months. We will honor up to two (2) requests from you for access to information held by us about you during each twelve-month period, after which we may charge you for the cost of processing your additional requests. You may also request that we not sell your personal information to third parties, using these request procedures. However, as previously stated in this policy, we do not sell personal information to third parties.
If you wish to designate an authorized agent to make requests to us on your behalf, you may do so at any time. We will honor requests made on your behalf by an authorized agent only after we receive a signed document from you designating the authorized agent, and receive confirmation directly from you that you have made the designation, for which you have provided verification of your identity in the same manner as you would to request disclosure or deletion of your personal information.
If we are able to verify your request for a disclosure of personal information held by us, we will provide you with (1) the categories of personal information we have collected about you, if any, within the preceding twelve (12) months; (2) the categories of sources from which we gathered the personal information; (3) the business purpose for which we collected the personal information; (4) and the categories of any third parties with whom we have shared the personal information. Similarly, if we are able to verify your request for deletion of personal information held by us, we will inform you of whether we have complied with your request. If we deny your request for deletion, we will provide you with an explanation that specifies our legal obligation or entitlement to retain the information.
Furthermore, California Civil Code Section 1798.83, permits our users who are California residents to request and obtain from us, once a year and free of charge, information about categories of personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes and the names and addresses of all third parties with which we shared personal information in the immediately preceding calendar year. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please submit your request in writing to us using the contact information provided below.
If you are under 18 years of age, reside in California, and have a registered account with the website in violation of this Privacy Policy and despite various prohibitions set forth in paragraph 8, you have the right to request removal of unwanted data that you publicly post on the website.
