You have a right not to receive discriminatory treatment by a business for your exercise of CCPA privacy rights. A business may charge a different price or rate, or provide a different level or quality of goods or services to you, if that difference is reasonably related to the value provided to you by your personal information.

For applicable personal information access and 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.

Please note that we are not required to:

Carry out information access requests we receive from you if acting as a service provider to another entity regarding such information
Retain any personal information about you that was collected for a single one-time transaction if, in the ordinary course of business, that information about you is not retained;
Reidentify or otherwise link any data that, in the ordinary course of business, is not maintained in a manner that would be considered personal information;
Provide the requested information disclosure to you more than twice in a 12-month period.
Provide the requested information disclosure if we cannot verify that the person making the request is the person about whom we collected information, or is someone authorized to act on such person's behalf; or
Provide the requested information disclosure if a CCPA or applicable exception applies.

Information We Collect About You :

Upon verification of identity, California residents may in some cases request that a business delete personal information about you that the business collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions.

We may deny your deletion request if we are acting in the role of a service provider to another business regarding the applicable personal information. If we deny your request on that basis, we will generally refer you to the relevant business. In addition, we may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:

Complete the transaction for which the personal information was collected, provide a good or service requested by you, or reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform a contract between you and us.
Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; or prosecute those responsible for that activity.

Provide enough information to reasonably identify you (e.g., your full name, account number if applicable, and potentially other identifying information); and
Describe your request with sufficient detail to allow us to properly process and respond to your request

If seeking to make a verifiable request under the CCPA on behalf of someone else, we require enough information to reasonably identify the subject of the request (including name and other identifying information) and the subject's written consent to make the CCPA request on his or her behalf, as consistent with applicable law.

We are not obligated to make an information disclosure or carry out a deletion request pursuant to the CCPA if we cannot verify that the person making the request is the person about whom we collected information, or is someone authorized to act on such person's behalf.

Any personal information we collect from you in order to verify your identity in connection with your CCPA request will be used solely for the purposes of verification.
