If it is not reasonably clear from your request, we will only process your request as a Right to Know request. You may make a Right to Know or a Data Portability Consumer Request a total of 2 times within a 12-month period at no charge.
• Access to Specific Pieces of Information. You also have the right to request that we provide you with a copy of the specific pieces of personal information that we have collected about you, including any personal information that we have created or otherwise received from a third-party about you (a “Data Portability” Consumer Request). If you make a Data Portability Consumer Request electronically, we will provide you with a copy of your personal information in a portable and, to the extent technically feasible, readily reusable format that allows you to transmit the personal information to another third-party. You must specifically describe if you are making a Right to Know request or a Data Portability request. If you would like to make both a Right to Know Consumer Request and a Data Portability Consumer Request, you must make both requests clear in your request. If it is not reasonably clear from your request, we will only process your request as a Right to Know request. In response to a Data Portability Consumer Request, we will not disclose your driver’s license number or other government-issued identification number, or financial account number. We will not provide this information if the disclosure would create a substantial, articulable, and unreasonable risk to your personal information or the security of our systems or networks. We will also not disclose any personal information that may be subject to another exception under the CPRA. If we are unable to disclose certain pieces of your personal information, we will describe the general types of personal information that we were unable to disclose and provide you a description of the reason we are unable to disclose it. You may make a Right to Know or a Data Portability Consumer Request a total of 2 times within a 12-month period at no charge.
• Correction. You have the right to request that we correct any incorrect personal information about you to ensure that it is complete, accurate, and as current as possible. You may request that we correct the personal information we have about you as described below under Exercising Your CPRA Privacy Rights. In some cases, we may require you to provide reasonable documentation to show that the personal information we have about you is incorrect and what the correct personal information may be. We may also not be able to accommodate your request if we believe it would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect or if the personal information is subject to another exception under the CPRA.
• Deletion. You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your Consumer Request (see Exercising Your CPRA Privacy Rights), we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies pursuant to the CPRA. Some exceptions to your right to delete include, but are not limited to, if we are required to retain your personal information to complete the transaction or provide you the goods and services for which we collected the personal information or otherwise perform under our contract with you, to detect security incidents or protect against other malicious activities, and to comply with legal obligations. We may also retain your personal information for other internal and lawful uses that are compatible with the context in which we collected it.
• Limiting Our Uses and Disclosures of SPI. You have the right to request that we limit our use and disclosure of your SPI to only those purposes specifically enumerated in the CPRA. Currently, we do not use or disclose your SPI for purposes other than those expressly permitted by the CPRA. Should this change in the future, we will update this California Addendum and provide you with methods to limit the use and disclosure of SPI.
• Non-Discrimination. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CPRA rights. Unless permitted by the CPRA, we will not do any of the following as a result of you exercising your CPRA rights: (i) deny you goods or services; (ii) charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties; (iii) provide you a different level or quality of goods or services; or (iv) suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
Exercising Your CPRA Privacy Rights
Sale/Sharing: For instructions on exercising sale and sharing opt-out rights (as applicable), please see Your Choices Regarding our “Sale” or “Sharing” of Your Personal Information.
All Other CPRA Rights: To exercise any of your other rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request (a “Consumer Request”) to us by either:
• Emailing [email protected]; or
• Calling 855-305-0782.
If you fail to make your Consumer Request in accordance with the ways described above, we may either treat your request as if it had been submitted with our methods described above or provide you with information on how to submit the request or remedy any deficiencies with your request.
Only you, or someone that you have authorized to act on your behalf (an “Authorized Agent”), may make a Consumer Request related to your personal information. You may also make a Consumer Request on behalf of your minor child.
All Consumer Requests must:
• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an Authorized Agent.
o For all requests, we will need the consumer’s (i) name, (ii) email address, and (iii) telephone number.
o To protect the privacy and security of your personal information, we may request additional information from you to help us verify your identity and process your request. This information may include your driver's license or other government-issued identification number. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
• Be described with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm which personal information relates to you or the individual for whom you are making the request as their Authorized Agent.
Your Choices Regarding Our “Sale” or “Sharing” of Your Personal Information
“Sale” of Your Personal Information
If you are 16 years of age or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell your personal information for monetary or other valuable consideration at any time (the “right to opt-out”). We do not sell the personal information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of age, unless we receive affirmative authorization (the “right to opt-in”) from either the consumer who is between 13 and 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years of age. Consumers who opt-in to our personal information sales may opt-out of future sales at any time.
“Sharing” of Your Personal Information
If you are 16 years of age or older, you have the right to direct us to not share your personal information for the purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising, which is showing advertising on other websites or other media based on your browsing history with our Website (the “right to opt-out”). We do not share the personal information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of age for this purpose, unless we receive affirmative authorization from either the consumer who is between 13 and 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years of age. Consumers who opt-in to our sharing of personal information for these purposes may opt-out of future such sharing at any time.
How You May Opt-Out of Our Sale or Sharing of Your Personal Information
To exercise the right to opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information, you (or your Authorized Agent) may submit a request to us by (i) visiting the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in the tab within our Mobile App and footer of any applicable webpages expressly governed by this Privacy Policy, (ii) configuring your browser/mobile device to send us a privacy signal (as described in more detail below), or (iii) setting your browser/device to refuse all or some cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, if you do not consent to our use of cookies or select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of our Mobile App or webpages expressly governed by this Privacy Policy. You can find more information about cookies at http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
You may also exercise your right to opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information by setting the privacy control signal on your browser/device, if your browser/device supports it. We currently recognize and support the following privacy signals sent by browsers/devices: Global Privacy Control (for more information on how to configure your browser to send this signal, please see ).
When we receive this privacy control signal, we will opt you out of any further “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information when you interact with our Mobile App and any applicable webpages expressly governed by this Privacy Policy through that browser and on that device. However, you may change your mind and opt back into the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences to accept all or certain cookies.
In the event you have affirmatively opted-in to our “sale” and “sharing” of your personal information as described above and we receive a privacy control signal from your browser, we will request further instructions from you before you are opted out of any further “sale” or “sharing.”
Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least 12 months before asking you to reauthorize our “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information.
Requests to Opt-In After Opting Out of the “Sale” or “Sharing” of Personal Information
If you (or your Authorized Agent) submit a request to opt-in to our “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information, we will use a two-step process in order to confirm that you want to opt-in for such “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information. This process may include verifying your request through your email address on record or sending you a text message and requesting that you text us a confirmation (which may be through the use of an automated dialer). By making a Consumer Request, you consent to us contacting you in one or more of these ways.
RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We retain all categories of personal information that we collect for as long as needed to carry out the purposes described in this California Addendum and our Privacy Policy or as otherwise required by applicable law, taking into consideration any statutorily required minimum periods of time in applicable jurisdictions, but not longer than ten (10) years in any instance. However, we may also retain any or all categories of personal information when your information is subject to one of the following exceptions:
• When stored in our backup and disaster recovery systems. Your personal information will be deleted when the backup media your personal information is stored on expires or when our disaster recovery systems are updated.
• When necessary for us to exercise or defend legal claims.
• When necessary to comply with a legal obligation.
• When necessary to help ensure the security and integrity of our Mobile App and IT systems.
Your personal information will be deleted when we no longer require your personal information for any of the above purposes.
OTHER CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS (“DO NOT TRACK” DISCLOSURE)
Some web browsers permit you to broadcast a signal to websites and online services indicating a preference that they “do not track” your online activities. However, there is no accepted standard for how a website or online service should respond to this signal and, at this time, we do not honor such a signal or modify what information we collect or how we use that information based upon whether such a signal is broadcast or received by us.
CHANGES TO OUR CALIFORNIA ADDENDUM
We reserve the right to amend this California Addendum from time to time. When we make changes to this California Addendum, we will post the revised California Addendum on this page with a new "Last Updated" date.
