1. Your Rights With Respect to Your Personal Information

 

• Access/Deletion

 

Under applicable California law, California customers have the right to request that we disclose what personal information about them that we collect, use, and disclose, including the specific pieces of the personal information about them that we have collected (referred to as an “access request” or a “request to know”) and that we delete the personal information about them collected or maintained by us (referred to as a “deletion request”).  California customers may submit an access or deletion request (each, a “California Consumer Rights Request”) by contacting us as provided in Section 11 (Questions & Contact Information) above.  California customers may designate an authorized agent to submit a California Consumer Rights Request on their behalf. To do so, please have the agent submit a request on your behalf by contacting us as provided in Section 11 (Questions & Contact Information) above.  When submitting a request, the agent will need to provide your name, address, phone number, and email address and provide the agent’s name and email address, a statement indicating that they are acting as an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf, and, if applicable, a statement indicating that you have provided them with a power of attorney that is valid under California law.  After the agent has submitted the request, you will receive an email asking you to verify your identity and your appointment of the agent.  We may request additional information to validate your identity or the identity of any agent that you appoint. 

 

Once we receive a deletion request, we will delete the personal information (to the extent required by applicable law) we hold about you as of the date of your request from our records and request our service providers to do the same. In some cases, deletion may be accomplished through de-identification of the information.

 

Your exercise of any of the foregoing rights is subject to limitations due to, among other things, requirements of applicable laws, regulations, and orders.

 

• Non-Discrimination

 

You have a right to not receive discriminatory treatment by us for the exercise of the privacy rights conferred by California law.  However, if you choose to delete your personal information, you may not be able to purchase our products or access certain services.  Unless the personal information is absolutely required for us to provide you certain goods or services or a certain level of goods or services or the lack of certain personal information would cause us to incur additional costs, we generally will not deny you goods or services, charge different prices or rates, provide a different level of service or quality of goods, or suggest that you might receive a different price or level of quality for goods.

 

• Opt Out of Certain Data Sharing

 

We may from time to time elect to share certain information about you collected by us in connection with the Service with third parties or affiliates for those third parties’ or affiliates’ own commercial purposes. Under California law, California customers may request certain details about how their information is shared with third parties and, in some cases, affiliates, for those third parties’ and affiliates’ own commercial purposes. California law also permits California customers to opt in to, or opt out of, this type of sharing.  If you are a California resident, you may opt out of such future sharing of your personal information (as defined by the California Shine the Light Act) and/or request information about our compliance with this law by contacting us as provided in Section 11 (Questions & Contact Information) above.  Any such request must include "California Privacy Rights Request" in the first line of the request and include your name, street address, city, state, and ZIP code.
