YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE CALIFORNIA CONSUMER PRIVACY ACT (CCPA COMPLIANCE)
If you reside in California, you are entitled to additional rights under California law and we ensure compliance with the CCPA. Here are your rights:
1) You have the right to know whether your personal information is sold or disclosed to third parties.
2) You have the right to say no to the sale of your personal information.
3) You also have the right to access your personal information, which we will provide within 30 days of such request.
4) You have the right to know what personal information is collected from you and how it is used, which we explained in this Privacy Policy.
5) You have the right to have your personal information deleted.
6) You have the right to equal service, price and no discrimination.
7) You have the right to data portability and right to request your personal information and use it for your own purposes.
Pursuant to California’s “Shine the Light Act,” you are permitted to request information about the manner in which we share certain categories of information with third parties for their marketing use. We may disclose your personal information to our affiliates or other related third parties such as service providers, vendors for their use in marketing to you, so we can provide the products and/or services offered on this website to you. When we disclose such information, your personal information is still kept confidential and between us and that third party. It is not used for any other purpose that’s not permitted under the laws.
Please be advised we DO NOT SELL YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION to third parties and have never sold your personal information. We do not intend to sell your personal information in the future either.
Under the CCPA, you still have the right to opt-out of such sales and send us a “do not sell my information” request. If you would like to exercise any of your rights under California law, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by sending us an email at [email protected]
