V. Your Rights and Choices

This section describes your rights and choices regarding how we collect, share, use, and protect your personal information, how to exercise those rights, and limits and exceptions to your rights and choices.

a. Exceptions

The rights and choices in this Section do not apply:

  • If you are not a California resident;
  • If we collected personal information covered by certain financial sector-specific privacy laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”) and/or California Financial Information Privacy Act (“CFIPA”). How we collect, share, use, and protect your personal information is covered under such laws instead of the CCPA; or
  • To aggregate consumer information; or
  • To deidentified personal information; or
  • Publicly available personal information.

b. Right to Know

If the above exceptions do not apply, and you have not made this request more than twice in a 12- month period, you have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information. Once we receive and confirm your request and verify that the request is coming from you or someone authorized to make the request on your behalf, we will disclose to you or your representative:

  • The categories of personal information we collected about you.
  • The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting, sharing or selling that personal information, as applicable.
  • The categories of third parties to whom we disclosed, shared or sold the personal information, as applicable.
  • The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you in a form that you can take with you (also called a “data portability request”).

c. Right to Delete

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collect from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and verify your request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:

  1. Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you;
  2. Detect security incidents; protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; or prosecute those responsible for that activity;
  3. Debug to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality;
  4. Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise his or her right of free speech, or exercise another right provided for by law;
  5. Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when our deletion of the information is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of such research, if you previously provided informed consent;
  6. Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with your expectations based on your relationship with us and compatible with the context in which you provided the information; or
  7. Comply with a legal obligation.

d. Right of Correction

You have the right to request correction of any personal information that we retain about you that is incorrect. We generally rely on you to update and correct your personal information.

e. Exercising Access, Data Portability, Deletion and Correction Rights

To exercise the access, data portability, deletion and correction rights described above, you or your authorized agent may submit a verifiable consumer request to us by any of the following methods:

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. 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 only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request. 

When we receive a verifiable request from your authorized agent we may require: 

  1. Submission of a written document signed by you with your permission for the authorized agent to submit a verifiable request on your behalf and require the authorized agent to verify its own identity to us; or
  2. You may directly verify with us that you have authorized the agent to submit the request.
     

We will not require either of the above if the authorized agent provides a copy of a power of attorney pursuant to California Probate Code sections 4121 to 4130 and we are able to verify the authorized agent’s identity.  

We will deny a request from an agent that does not submit proof that they have been authorized by you to act on your behalf and cannot verify their own identity to us.

We will endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response to the mailing address of record according to our files.  For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hinderance.

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.

f. Right of Non-Discrimination 

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights in this Disclosure and under applicable laws. Unless permitted by law, we will not deny you goods or services; charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties; provide you a different level or quality of goods or services; or suggest that you may receive a different price for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

g. Opt-Out Rights Regarding Sale of Personal Information or Sharing Personal Information for Cross-Context Behavioral Advertising 

It is not our policy to sell personal information and we have not done so in the preceding 12-month period. 

In the preceding 12-months, we have not shared your personal information to deliver cross-context behavioral advertisements to you.

VI. Changes to This Disclosure

We reserve the right to amend this CCPA Privacy Policy at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes to this Disclosure, we will post an updated CCPA Privacy Policy on our website and mobile application. 

VII. Contact Information
