Your California Privacy Rights
This section of our Policy applies to consumers who reside in California. We adopt this section to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and California Privacy Reform Act (“CPRA”).
If you are a California resident, you may be able to exercise the following rights. We will honor requests received to the extent required by applicable law and within the time provided by law.
Right to Access and Information Regarding Personal Information
You have the right to request that we disclose to you the categories and specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you. Specifically, you have the right to request that we disclose the following to you, in each case in the twelve-month period preceding your request:
- The categories of Personal Information we have collected about you;
- The categories of sources from which the Personal Information is collected;
- Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling Personal Information;
- The categories of third parties with whom we share Personal Information;
- The specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you;
- The categories of Personal Information about you, if any, that we have disclosed for monetary or other valuable consideration and the categories of third parties to which we have disclosed the information, by category or categories of Personal Information for each third party to which we disclosed the Personal Information; and
- The categories of Personal Information about you that we disclosed for a business purpose.
- The categories of sensitive personal information to be collected and the purposes for which the categories of sensitive personal information are collected or used and whether such information is sold or shared.
Right to Deletion of Personal Information
You have the right to request that we delete Personal Information about you that we have collected from you. There may be certain exceptions to our obligation to delete your information such as if you have an existing account or transaction with us or if we have a legitimate business reason to keep your information.
Right to Correct Personal Information
You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate information that we maintain about you.
Right to Opt-Out
You have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of Personal Information. We do not sell Personal Information, but we recognize that some privacy laws define “personal information” in such a way that making advertising and analytics technology linked to you for a benefit may be considered a “sale.” To opt out of the sale or sharing of your data use this web form.
Right to Limit the Use or Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information
To the extent that we use or disclose Sensitive Personal Information for reasons other than those listed in the CCPA, you have the right to limit that use or disclosure of sensitive personal information. We do not use Sensitive Personal Information for reasons other than those listed in this Policy.
Right to Non-Discrimination
We may not discriminate against you because you have exercised any of the aforementioned rights, including by:
- Denying you goods or services;
- Charging different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties;
- Providing you a different level or quality of goods or services; or
- Suggesting that you will receive different price or rate for goods or service or at a different level or quality of goods or services.
This includes the right of current and prospective employees not to be retaliated against for the exercise of their CCPA rights.
However, as permitted by the CCPA, we may offer you certain financial incentives. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your Personal Information’s value. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt-in consent, which you may withdraw at any time.
Notice of Financial Incentives
As permitted by the CCPA, we may offer you certain financial incentives such as discounted products and services in exchange for receiving personal information such as your email address. This information allows us to tailor our communications and products and services suggestions for you. This, in turn, helps us establish a stronger relationship with you – something we greatly value.
The value of these discounts vary. For example, you could receive $10 off your purchase when you provide us with your email address.
In determining the value of this data to Company, we consider the profit generated from products that include Personal Information, which is reasonably correlated to the value provided to the consumer through personalized coupons, promotions, and other discounts or offers.
The use of these financial incentives is voluntary and requires your prior opt-in consent, which you may revoke at any time. If you no longer wish to receive communications from us, see “Choices and Access to Information” below.
