13. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES

Most Web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting You can activate to signal Your privacy preference not to have data about Your online browsing activities monitored and collected. This DNT request can be found through Your Web browser settings. At this stage no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As it stands, there is no legal requirement for companies to comply with your Do Not Track request in the US, the EU, or anywhere else. As such, We do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates Your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that We must follow in the future, We will inform You about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.

​

​

14. DO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?

 

In Short: Yes, if You are a resident of California, You are granted specific rights regarding access to Your personal information.

​

The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) gives consumers more control over the personal information that businesses collect about them and the CCPA regulations provide guidance on how to implement the law. This landmark law secures new privacy rights for California consumers, including:

​

• The right to know about the personal information a business collects about them and how it is used and shared;

• The right to delete personal information collected from them (with some exceptions);

• The right to opt-out of the sale of their personal information; and

• The right to non-discrimination for exercising their CCPA rights.

 

Businesses are required to give consumers certain notices explaining their privacy practices. The CCPA applies to many businesses, including data brokers.

​

General Information About The CCPA

​

The California Code of Regulations defines a "resident" as:

 

1. every individual who is in the State of California for other than a temporary or transitory purpose and

2. every individual who is domiciled in the State of California who is outside the State of California for a temporary or transitory purpose

 

All other individuals are defined as "non-residents."

 

If this definition of "resident" applies to You, we must adhere to certain rights and obligations regarding Your personal information.

If you are a California resident, you may ask businesses to disclose what personal information they have about you and what they do with that information, to delete your personal information and not to sell your personal information. You also have the right to be notified, before or at the point businesses collect your personal information, of the types of personal information they are collecting and what they may do with that information. Generally, businesses cannot discriminate against you for exercising your rights under the CCPA. Businesses cannot make you waive these rights, and any contract provision that says you waive these rights is unenforceable.

​

Your rights with respect to Your personal data

 

Right to request deletion of the data — Request to delete

 

You may request that businesses disclose to you what personal information they have collected, used, shared, or sold about you, and why they collected, used, shared, or sold that information. Specifically, you may request that businesses disclose:

​

• The categories of personal information collected

• Specific pieces of personal information collected

• The categories of sources from which the business collected personal information

• The purposes for which the business uses the personal information

• The categories of third parties with whom the business shares the personal information

• The categories of information that the business sells or discloses to third parties

 

 

Businesses must provide you this information for the 12-month period preceding your request. They must provide this information to you free of charge.

You may request that businesses delete personal information they collected from you and to tell their service providers to do the same. However, there are many exceptions that allow businesses to keep your personal information.

​

You can ask for the deletion of Your personal information. If You ask Us to delete Your personal information, We will respect Your request and delete Your personal information, subject to certain exceptions provided by law, such as (but not limited to) the exercise by another consumer of his or her right to free speech, Our compliance requirements resulting from a legal obligation, or any processing that may be required to protect against illegal activities.

 

There are exceptions to the right to delete. Common reasons why businesses may keep your personal information include:

​

• The business cannot verify your request

• To complete your transaction, provide a reasonably anticipated product or service, or for certain warranty and product recall purposes

• For certain business security practices

• For certain internal uses that are compatible with reasonable consumer expectations or the context in which the information was provided

• To comply with legal obligations, exercise legal claims or rights, or defend legal claims

• If the personal information is certain medical information, consumer credit reporting information, or other types of information exempt from the CCPA

 

See Civil Code sections 1798.105(d) and 1798.145 for more exceptions.

If you do not know why a business denied your request to delete, follow up with the business to ask it for its reasons.

​

Right to be informed — Request to know

 

Depending on the circumstances, You have a right to know:
 

• whether We collect and use Your personal information;

• the categories of personal information that We collect;

• the purposes for which the collected personal information is used;

• whether We sell Your personal information to third parties;

• the categories of personal information that We sold or disclosed for a business purpose;

• the 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 personal information.
   

In accordance with applicable law, We are not obligated to provide or delete consumer information that is de-identified in response to a consumer request or to re-identify individual data to verify a consumer request.

 

Right to Non-Discrimination for the Exercise of a Consumer’s Privacy Rights

 

Businesses cannot deny goods or services, charge you a different price, or provide a different level or quality of goods or services just because you exercised your rights under the CCPA.

However, if you refuse to provide your personal information to a business or ask it to delete or stop selling your personal information, and that personal information or sale is necessary for the business to provide you with goods or services, the business may not be able to complete that transaction.

Businesses can also offer you promotions, discounts and other deals in exchange for collecting, keeping, or selling your personal information. But they can only do this if the financial incentive offered is reasonably related to the value of your personal information. If you ask a business to delete or stop selling your personal information, you may not be able to continue participating in the special deals they offer in exchange for personal information. If you are not sure how your request may affect your participation in a special offer, ask the business.

​

We will not discriminate against You if you exercise Your privacy rights.

 

Verification process

Upon receiving Your request, We will need to verify Your identity to determine You are the same person about whom We have the information in Our system. These verification efforts require Us to ask You to provide information so that We can match it with information You have previously provided Us. For instance, depending on the type of request You submit, We may ask You to provide certain information so that We can match the information You provide with the information We already have on file, or We may contact You through a communication method (e.g., phone or email) that You have previously provided to Us. We may also Use other verification methods as the circumstances dictate.

We will only Use personal information provided in Your request to verify Your identity or authority to make the request. To the extent possible, We will avoid requesting additional information from You for the purposes of verification. However, if We cannot verify Your identity from the information already maintained by Us, We may request that You provide additional information for the purposes of verifying Your identity and for security or fraud-prevention purposes. We will delete such additionally provided information as soon as We finish verifying You.
 

Other privacy rights
 

• You may object to the processing of your personal information.

• You may request correction of your personal data if it is incorrect or no longer relevant, or ask to restrict the processing of the information.

• You can designate an authorized agent to make a request under the CCPA on your behalf. We may deny a request from an authorized agent that does not submit proof that they have been validly authorized to act on your behalf in accordance with the CCPA.

• You may request to opt out from future selling of your personal information to third parties. Upon receiving an opt-out request, We will act upon the request as soon as feasibly possible, but no later than fifteen (15) days from the date of the request submission.
