California Privacy Disclosure
YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS
This policy was last updated 17 August 2020.
If you are a California resident, California law may provide you with additional rights regarding our use of your personal information. This Privacy Notice for California Residents supplements the information contained in [FULL PRIVACY POLICY] and applies solely to all visitors, users, and others who reside in the State of California (“consumers” or “you”).
Your Rights and Choices
The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) provides California consumers specific rights concerning their personal information, including, the right to request that we disclose what personal information we collect, use, disclose, and sell. This Section describes your rights and how you may exercise those rights as well as describes how we and third parties handle your personal information.
You or your authorized agent can request: 1) a disclosure of your personal information we collect, use, disclose, or sell; 2) to delete your personal information we collect, or maintain; and 3) to opt-out of the sale of your personal information. If you choose to submit a request through an authorized agent, we will require proof that the authorized agent has your written permission to submit a request on your behalf. Additionally, we may require you to verify your identity with us through the verification process detailed below.
If you choose to exercise these rights, we will not discriminate against you because of it. However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information’s value and will be described to you in writing. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt-in consent, which you may revoke at any time.
Requests to Know and Requests to Delete
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. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:
-
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 or selling that personal information.
-
The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
-
The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you.
-
If we sold or disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing:
-
sales, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and
-
disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.
-
You also 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 to delete, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.
You may submit a request to know or request to delete, free of charge, online through our interactive webform here or through email at contactus@gotara.com. Note that for requests to delete, we may require you to separately confirm that you want your personal information deleted. To verify your identity, we require you provide your name and email. For some requests, we may also require you to sign a declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the consumer whose personal information is the subject of the request. Once submitted, you will receive an email within 10 business days that we will use to verify your identity and provide confirmation of your request. If we cannot verify your identity within 45 days, we may deny your request. We will respond to your request to know or request to delete within 45 days from the day we receive the request. If necessary, we may extend the time period to a maximum total of 90 days from the day we receive the request. In such case, you will receive an email notifying you of the extension and explaining the reason for the extension. Any disclosure in response to a request to know will cover the 12-month period preceding the business’s receipt of the request and will be delivered in a readily useable format, by mail or electronically at your option.
Your request to know or request to delete may be denied for any reason allowable under the CCPA. For example, we may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:
-
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.
-
Comply with a legal obligation.
-
Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it or any other purpose permitted by the CCPA.
Similarly, we may deny requests:
-
For specific pieces of personal information if the disclosure creates a substantial, articulable, and unreasonable risk to the security of that personal information, your account with us, or the security of our systems or networks.
-
To access or delete information that is de-identified.
-
If your identity cannot be verified to a degree of certainty required by the CCPA.
-
From an authorized agent that does not submit proof that they have been authorized by the consumer to act on the consumer’s behalf.
Requests to Opt-Out
If you are 16 years of age or older, you have the right to opt-out from a sale of your personal information. 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 less than 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years of age. Consumers who opt-in to personal information sales may opt-out of future sales at any time.
To exercise the right to opt-out, you may submit a request at Do Not Sell My Personal Information or via email at contactus@gotara.com. We will act upon your request no later than 15 days from the date we received the request. Note that we may deny a request to opt-out if we have a good-faith, reasonable, and documented belief that the request is fraudulent. Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to reauthorize personal information sales. However, you may change your mind and opt back into personal information sales at any time online here.
