2. Your Legal Rights

Depending on your state of residency, particularly California, you may be entitled to the following rights with respect to personal information about you:

  • Right to access/know. You have the right to know and request information about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you within the last 12 months, as well as the categories of sources from which such information is collected, the purpose for collecting such information, and the categories of third parties with whom we share such information. You also have the right to know if we have sold or disclosed your personal information.
  • Right to correct. You have the right to request correction of any inaccurate information we hold about you. We may not be able to accommodate your request if we believe it would violate any law, any legal requirements, or cause the information to be incorrect. Information solely retained for data backup purposes is generally excluded.
  • Right to delete. You have the right to request the deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions.
  • Right to limit use and disclosure of sensitive personal information. We do not process sensitive personal information beyond what is reasonably necessary to provide our products and services and for the purposes described above.
  • Right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal information. As indicated above, we do not sell personal information or share personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising, nor do we intend to, as those terms are defined in the CCPA and other applicable state privacy laws. We also have not done so for the last 12 months.
  • Right to portable data. You have the right to obtain personal information about you in a portable and, to the extent technically feasible, readily usable format that allows you to transmit the information to another entity without hindrance.
  • Right to non-discrimination. You have the right to not be discriminated against for exercising any of the above-listed rights.

Further, California law permits California residents to request – from a business with whom the California resident has an established business relationship – certain information about the types of personal information the business has shared with third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes, and the names and addresses of the third parties with whom the business has shared such information during the immediately preceding calendar year.

6. Data Security

We store personal information and other data using reasonable and appropriate physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to secure personal information against foreseeable risks, such as unauthorized use, access, disclosure, destruction, or modification.

b. Exercising your rights

If you would like to exercise any of the privacy rights outlined in Section 2 (“Your Legal Rights”) of this privacy policy, please call us at 844-538-3766, visit our website, or use one of the other methods listed in the “Contact Us” section of this privacy policy.

You also may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. If you are submitting a request through an authorized agent, the authorized agent must provide us with your signed written permission stating that the agent is authorized to make the request on your behalf. We may also request that any authorized agents verify their identity and may reach out to you directly to confirm that you have provided the agent with your permission to submit the request on your behalf.

When you exercise these rights and submit a request to us, we will verify your identity by asking you for the following pieces of information: your relationship with us, first and last name, email address, telephone number, postal address and employer.

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 the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will use the personal information you provide to us when submitting a consumer request only to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

There may be circumstances where we will not be able to honor your request. For example, if you request deletion, we may need to retain certain personal information to comply with our legal obligations or other permitted purposes.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under the age of 16, we will delete such information from our records. If a parent, guardian, or anyone else becomes aware that we have collected personal information from an individual under the age of 16, please contact us.
