8. Additional information for California residents

The California Consumer Protection Act (the “CCPA”) requires us to provide California residents with some additional information regarding how we collect, use and share personal information. This Section 13(B)(i) only applies to “Personal Information” of California residents, as that term is defined in the CCPA, and it supplements the information in the rest of this Privacy Policy above. Data about individuals who are not residents of California may be handled differently and is not subject to the same rights described in this Section. This Section applies only to the extent required by the CCPA, so some personal information about Californians is not covered by this Section.
If you are a California resident, California law may permit you to request that we provide you with:
  • The categories of Personal Information we have collected or disclosed about you in the last twelve months;
  • The categories of sources of such information;
  • The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling your Personal Information; and
  • The categories of third parties with whom we shared Personal Information. Access to and/or a copy of certain information we hold about you.
  • An option to delete certain information we have about you.
Certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. For example, we need certain types of information so that we can provide services to you. If you ask us to delete it, you may no longer be able to access or use our Site.
We reserve the right to verify your identity to our satisfaction before responding to your request, which may include, depending on the type of request you are making, the sensitivity of any data you are requesting, and the nature of your relationship with us: verifying your name, asking you to click on a link that we send to your email address, or requesting that you provide us with information about our relationship that only you are likely to have.
California “Shine the Light” law gives residents of California the right under certain circumstances to request information from us regarding the manner in which we share certain categories of personal information (as defined in the Shine the Light law) with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.

9. International data transfers

We may collect your personal information from, transfer it to, and store and process it in different countries. Whenever we share information outside of where you live, when we are legally required to do so, we make sure an adequate transfer mechanism is in place. We also make sure any third parties we share information with have an adequate transfer mechanism in place, as well.

10. Security

The Company takes technical and organizational measures to ensure the information is processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of information, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and accidental loss, destruction, or damage.

11. Children’s privacy

The privacy of children is one of our concerns. The Services are not intended for use by children under the age of 16 without the express permission of their parent or legal guardian.
‍
If you are under the age of 16, you will need to get your parent’s/legal guardian’s permission before submitting any personal data to the Company. We may process the personal data of children under the age of 16, provided that data has been consensually provided by parents/legal guardians for the express purpose of using Services.

12. Breach notifications

If any of your personal data is in breach, we would inform you and the respective data protection agencies as to the accidents without undue delay if there are high risks of violation of your rights as the data subject. We would also do our best to minimize any such risks.
