California Privacy

The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their personal information.

Please note: In order to verify your identity, we may require you to provide us with personal information prior to accessing any records containing information about you.

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. 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 verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies, or respond to the request for information, as applicable. To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by using the contact info provided below. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

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. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, 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 verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. 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 hindrance. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights, unless permitted by the CCPA. We may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels.

California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits users of our Website that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send an email to the address in this policy.
