Data Privacy Rights: California residents
Legal Rights for California Consumers
California law gives California consumers certain rights in their personal data:
The right to request disclosure of the personal information collected about you. That includes the categories of information collected about you, the categories of sources from which such information is collected, the purpose for collecting the information,
and the specific pieces of information collected about you.
The right to request the deletion of any personal information we have collected from you.
There are various exceptions. For example, we don’t need to delete information
needed to complete a transaction, information we need as part of our ongoing relationship with you, or for anti-fraud or data security purposes, among other reasons.
The law states that if we sell your personal information you have the
right to opt out of such use of your data. However, we do not sell personal data of consumers, so this provision does not apply here.
In addition, the law states that we may not discriminate against you for exercising the above rights.
That means denying goods or services or charging a different price unless such price difference is justified.
You can make a request relating to these issues by emailing us at [email protected].
We will only
act on your request if it is “verifiable.” Upon receiving your request, we will contact you to inform you of the procedures to verify your request.
You may make a request to disclose or delete using an “authorized agent.”
Please include with your request a signed document stating that the agent is authorized to act on your behalf. We will then respond by providing information as to (i) how you can verify your identity, and (ii) confirm that the agent is authorized
to act on your behalf.
Please note that you may make data requests no more than twice in a 12-month period. If you have questions about this process, please contact us at [email protected].
We will try to respond to
verifiable requests within 45 days. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in a written response. We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will
only cover the 12-month period preceding the receipt of your request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable
consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
“Do Not Track” Requests. Our website does not respond to “Do Not Track” requests. As noted above, however, persons using our site may be able to change their browser settings to respond to such requests, and limit the ability
of their consumer information to be tracked across websites.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under California law.
