4. Your Rights

If you are a California resident, you may have certain rights in relation to the processing of your Personal Information. These may include the following:

Right to Know and Access Personal Information

You have the right to request, no more than twice in a 12-month period, 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:

We will deliver Personal Information that we are required by law to disclose to you in the manner required by law within forty-five (45) days after receipt of a verifiable request, unless we notify you that we require additional time to respond, in which case we will respond within such additional period of time required by law. We may deliver the Personal Information to you through your account, if you maintain an account with us, or electronically or by mail at your option. If electronically, then we will deliver the information in a portable and, to the extent technically feasible, in a readily usable format that allows you to transmit the information from one entity to another without hinderance. If we receive a Right to Know request regarding information that we process on behalf of our Partner, we will also recommend that the California resident submit a Right to Know request directly with the Partner and will provide contact information for that Partner where feasible.

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. If we are able to verify your identity or the identity of your authorized agent, we will respond to your request by deleting your Personal Information and, if applicable, directing any of our service providers to delete your Personal Information.

We may choose to delete Personal Information by de-identifying, aggregating, or completely erasing the information. We will specify the manner in which we delete your Personal Information. If a California resident submits a request to delete Personal Information to one of our Partners and the Partner instructs us to delete the California resident’s Personal Information, we will delete the information as required by the CCPA. If we receive a Right to Deletion request regarding information that we process on behalf of our Partner, we will also recommend that the California resident submit a Right to Deletion request directly with the Partner and will provide contact information for that Partner where feasible.

In some situations and as permitted by the CCPA, we may not be able to process your request to delete if we need to maintain your information for some legally permissible purpose (e.g., to comply with our legal obligations). We will let you know if we are unable to process your request.

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 of Sale or Sharing

You have the right to opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your Personal Information, as those terms are defined in the CCPA. To Opt-Out, complete this form.

Right to Limit the Use of Your Sensitive Personal Information

You have the right to limit our use of your sensitive Personal Information to the purposes outlined in Cal. Code Regs. tit. 11, § 7027(m) of the CCPA regulations. We do not collect, use, or disclose your sensitive Personal Information for purposes other than those listed in § 7027(m).

Right to Non- Discrimination

We may not discriminate against you because you have exercised any of the foregoing rights, including by:

However, we may charge different prices or rates, or provide a different level or quality of our Services, if that difference is reasonably related to the value provided to us by your Personal Information.

5. Requests to Exercise Your Rights

Only you or a person 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 if you believe we have received their information inadvertently. You may request to exercise the aforementioned rights by:

Please note that we may take steps to verify your identity and residency before granting you access to information or acting on your request to exercise your rights, as required or permitted by law. If you use an authorized agent, we may require proof of written authorization you have given to make the request. We may limit our response to your exercise of the above rights as permitted by law. We will confirm receipt of your request and comply with your request in the time period required under the CCPA.

If a request or series of requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, we may charge a reasonable fee for processing the request(s) or may refuse to process the request(s)

6. Data Sharing for Direct Marketing Purposes

California Civil Code § 1798.83 further permits California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
