As a California resident, you may have certain rights
The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) provides California residents with certain rights regarding their “personal information,” as that term is defined in the CCPA. Subject to certain exceptions, qualifying businesses must make certain disclosures to California residents upon making a verifiable request, including the categories of information collected by a business, the categories of sources of such information, the business or commercial purpose of collection, the categories of third parties with whom information is sold, and a right to obtain the specific pieces of personal information collected, as well as a right to request that a business delete the consumer’s personal information. As well, a California resident may request that a business not sell the resident’s personal information to third parties, subject to certain exceptions. As described above, we collect various categories of personal information and provide some or all of that information as part of our products and services to our customers.
The CCPA does not apply to certain personal information, including that which is collected, processed, sold, or disclosed pursuant to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act of 1994 (DPPA), “publicly available” information lawfully available from a government source, and data that is de identified or aggregate consumer data. Due to these exemptions, certain CC products are not subject to the CCPA.
If you are a California resident, you may request: (i) that we provide you with a copy of your personal information. (ii) that we delete your personal information by; and/or (iii) that we no longer sell your personal information by emailing us at info@Content Codes.com.
California residents may designate an authorized agent in writing or through a valid power of attorney to exercise CCPA rights to access or delete personal information on their behalf. We will undertake good faith efforts to verify such requests and the identity of the requestors before acting on such requests.
As to any request, to protect the security of your personal information, and as authentication is required by the CCPA, you must provide certain personal information to enable us to verify your request, including your name, address, mobile phone number, partial Social Security number and date of birth.
Upon receipt of a verifiable consumer request, we will work to respond to your request in an expeditious manner. We have 45 days of receiving a request to evaluate, respond, and if applicable, deliver the requested information. Further, taking into account the complexity and number of requests that we receive, we may extend this time period to respond as permitted by law.
Please note that you may not be discriminated against for exercising your rights under the CCPA. This includes denying you products or services, charging different prices for products or services, providing a different level or quality of products or services, or suggesting that you will receive a different price or rate for products or services or a different level or quality of products or services.
Changes to this Policy
We may modify this Privacy Policy at any time by posting the modified terms on this page.
