Content Submitted by You
You are responsible for any information, text, images, videos, or other materials or content that you post on a Site or transmit through our Site (“User Content”). You agree, represent and warrant that any User Content you post on a Site or transmit through our Site is truthful, accurate, not misleading, and offered in good faith and that you have the right to transmit such User Content. You shall not upload, post or otherwise make available on or through a Site any User Content protected by copyright, trademark, or other proprietary rights of any third party without the express written permission of the owner of such right(s). You shall be solely liable for any damages resulting from any infringement of copyright, trademark, proprietary rights, or any other harm resulting from such User Content.
PLEASE DO NOT POST OR SEND US ANY IDEAS, SUGGESTIONS, OR OTHER USER CONTENT THAT YOU WISH TO KEEP PROPRIETARY OR FOR WHICH YOU EXPECT TO RECEIVE COMPENSATION. By sending any ideas, concepts, know-how, proposals, techniques, suggestions, or other User Content to us, you agree that: (i) we are free to use such User Content for any purpose, (ii) such User Content will be deemed not to be confidential or proprietary (iii) we may have something similar already under consideration or in development, and (iv) you are not entitled to any compensation or reimbursement of any kind from us under any circumstances unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by us.
By submitting User Content to us directly or indirectly (including through the use of hashtags on third party social media platforms), you grant to us (or warrant that the owner of such information and material has expressly granted to us) a royalty-free, perpetual, sublicensable, irrevocable, and unrestricted right and license: (a) to use, reproduce, display, modify, adapt, publish, perform, translate, transmit and distribute or otherwise make available to others such User Content (in whole or in part and for any purpose) worldwide; (b) to incorporate such User Content in other works in any form, media, product, service or technology now known or hereafter developed for any purpose, including sale, manufacture or advertising (and to exercise all intellectual property rights associated with such products or other works); and (c) to use your name, screen name, location, photograph, avatar, image, voice, likeness and biographical information provided in connection with the User Content in any and all media and for advertising or promotional purposes.

Additionally, you irrevocably waive any “moral rights” or other rights with respect to attribution of authorship or integrity of your User Content that you may have under any applicable law or legal theory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, please note that any personally identifiable information you submit to us through our “Contact Us” forms, product order pages, job application portals, or other forms that are intended to be confidential will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and will not be publicly disclosed, except as described in our Privacy Policy or otherwise approved by you.
Interactive Features
We may host message boards, user-generated content, promotions, product reviews, blogs, and other interactive features or services through which users can post or upload User Content (each, a “Forum”) on our Site. We do not endorse User Content posted in Forums, cannot guarantee the accuracy or authenticity of such User Content and are acting only as a passive conduit for such User Content. User Content may include suggestions for uses of our products that have not been evaluated or approved by us; we do not recommend such uses. You should never use our products in any manner other than as is described on its packaging.
You acknowledge and agree that Forums, when available through our Site, are public spaces and that your participation in such Forums creates no expectation of privacy. Further, you acknowledge that any User Content you communicate in Forums may be seen and used by others. You understand that our staff, outside contributors, or other users connected with us may participate in Forums or other aspects of the Site and may employ anonymous user names when doing so. Any user failing to comply with this Agreement may be expelled from and refused continued access to Forums in the future. However, we are not responsible for User Content that you or others choose to communicate in Forums, or for your actions or the actions of other users. IF YOU CHOOSE TO MAKE ANY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION OR OTHER USER CONTENT PUBLICLY AVAILABLE IN A FORUM OR OTHERWISE ON OR THROUGH THE SITE, YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.
You acknowledge and agree that we reserve the right (but have no obligation) to do one or all of the following, at our sole discretion: (a) evaluate User Content before allowing it to be posted on a Site or any Forum; (b) monitor User Content and Forums; (c) alter, remove, reject, or refuse to post or allow to be posted, without notice to you, any User Content, for any reason or for no reason whatsoever; provided, however, that we shall have no obligation or liability to you for failure to do so or for doing so in any particular manner; and/or (d) disclose any User Content, and the circumstances surrounding its transmission, to any third party in order to operate a Site, to protect us, our Site visitors or others, to comply with legal obligations or governmental requests, to enforce this Agreement, or for any other reason or purpose we deem appropriate. If you see User Content on our Site that you believe violates the terms of this Agreement, please contact us.
Accounts
In general, you are not obligated to register in order to access the Site. However, certain sections and features of some of the Sites are available only to users who have registered for an account (“Registered Users”). We may reject, and you may not use, a user ID (or e-mail address) for any reason at our sole discretion. For example, we may reject a user ID (or e-mail address) that is already being used by someone else; that may be construed as impersonating another person; that belongs to another person; that violates the intellectual property or other rights of any person, or that is offensive. You may only have one active Registered User account on each Site at any given time and you may not allow other people to use your account to access a Site.
If you are a Registered User, we expect you to accurately maintain and update any information about yourself that you have provided to us. You agree that you are responsible for all activities that occur under your Registered User account, and for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and restricting access to your computer so others may not access a Site in violation of this Agreement. In addition, you agree to exit from your Registered User account at the end of each session if you are using a device that is shared with other people.
You agree to notify us of any unauthorized use of your Registered User username, log-in ID, password, or any other breach of security that you become aware of involving or relating to a Site by contacting us as soon as possible. We reserve the right to take any and all actions we deem necessary or reasonable to maintain the security of our Site and your account, including without limitation, terminating your account, changing your password, or requesting information to authorize transactions on your account. WE EXPLICITLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL LOSSES AND DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS SECTION.
Descriptions and Orders
We may make improvements and/or changes in products or services described on the Site, add new features, or terminate a Site at any time without notice. We also: (a) reserve the right to change the goods and services advertised or offered for sale through a Site, the prices, ingredients, or specifications of such goods and services, and any promotional offers at any time without any notice or liability to you or any other person; (b) cannot guarantee that goods or services advertised or offered for sale on a Site will be available when ordered or thereafter; (c) reserve the right to limit quantities sold or made available for sale; (d) do not warrant that information on a Site (including without limitation product descriptions, colors or photographs) is accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free; and (e) reserve the right to modify, cancel, terminate or not process orders (including accepted orders) where the price or other material information on a Site is inaccurate, where we have insufficient quantities to fulfill an order or for any other reason in our sole discretion. If we do not process any order for such reason, we will either not charge you or will apply a credit to the payment type used in the order. Some jurisdictions may not allow the exclusions and disclaimers of certain implied warranties, so some of the provisions of this section may not apply to you. Products sold on the Site are intended for end-use in the United States and are not labeled or intended for international distribution.
If we are legally required to collect sales tax on merchandise you order, the tax amount will be added automatically to your purchase price. On rare occasions, an error in our state sales tax database may cause the sales tax charge to be incorrect. If this happens, at any time up to two years from your date of purchase you may contact us for a refund of tax overcharges. This right to a refund is your exclusive remedy for sales tax errors.
All orders are subject to any shipping prices and rules as well as the Returns & Exchanges Policy posted on the Site on which you are ordering. Please read these descriptions thoroughly prior to purchasing products from us.

We do not guarantee the validity, accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any opinion, advice, service, offer a statement, or other Content on our Site other than those from our authorized representatives acting in an official capacity. Under no circumstance will we be liable for or in connection with any loss or damage caused by your reliance on any Content.

International Users
Each Site is controlled, operated, and administered by us (or our licensees or agents) from our offices within the United States of America and is not intended to subject us to the laws or jurisdiction of any state, country, or territory other than that of the United States. Each claim or statement about the effectiveness of our products or comparing the effectiveness of our products is expressly limited to the United States unless otherwise disclosed. WE DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT OUR SITE OR ANY PART THEREOF IS APPROPRIATE OR AVAILABLE FOR USE IN ANY PARTICULAR JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE UNITED STATES. Those who choose to access our Site do so on their own initiative and at their own risk and are responsible for complying with all local statutes, orders, regulations, rules, and other laws. You are also subject to United States export controls and are responsible for any violations of such controls, including without limitation any United States embargoes or other federal rules and regulations restricting exports. We may limit our Site’s availability, in whole or in part, to any person, geographic area, or jurisdiction we choose, at any time and at our sole discretion.
Disputes, Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT. You and we agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement, our Site, or the Privacy Policy shall be determined by binding arbitration or in small claims court. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. You may choose to be represented by a lawyer in arbitration or proceed without one. You acknowledge that, by agreeing to this Agreement, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. You also agree that any dispute in connection with our Site, this Agreement, or the Privacy Policy will be governed by the laws of the State of Florida and the United States of America. This provision shall survive termination of this Agreement.
If you elect to seek arbitration or file a small claim court action, you must first send to us, by certified mail, a written notice of your claim (“Notice”). The Notice to us must be addressed to General Counsel, The Sunny Honey Products Company, Miami, Florida. If we initiate arbitration, we will send a written Notice to an email address you have previously provided to us, if available. A Notice, whether sent by you or by us, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If you and we do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court. Arbitration forms can be downloaded from www.jamsadr.com. If you are required to pay a filing fee after we receive notice that you have commenced arbitration, we will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than US$10,000 or the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous, in which event you will be responsible for filing fees.
The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS or its successor (“JAMS”) and conducted in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules And Procedures in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated or, if the amount in controversy exceeds $100,000, in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules And Procedures then in effect (respectively, the “JAMS Rules”), except to the extent that the JAMS Rules are inconsistent with this Agreement or the class action waiver described below. The arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with the JAMS Rules or the mutual agreement of the parties and shall follow Florida law in adjudicating the Dispute. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Agreement, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity, subject to the limitations set forth herein. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision setting forth the Arbitrator’s complete determination of the Dispute and the factual findings and legal conclusions relevant to it. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement. Unless you and we agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a location determined by JAMS and not more than 100 miles from Miami-Dade County, State of Florida, U.S.A. If your claim is for US$10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the JAMS Rules. If your claim exceeds US$10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the JAMS Rules. In the event that the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of submitted documents, the arbitrator’s decision and the award will be made and delivered within six (6) months of the selection of the arbitrator, unless extended by the arbitrator. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules.
YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you, and we both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuses of intellectual property rights. In the event a court or arbitrator having jurisdiction finds any portion of this Agreement unenforceable, that portion shall not be effective, and the remainder of the Agreement shall remain effective. No waiver, express or implied, by either party of any breach of or default under this Agreement will constitute a continuing waiver of such breach or default or be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default.

Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 8, 2021
We respect your privacy and the privacy of your personal information collected, stored, disclosed, and used, by us, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and through providing our services to you. This Privacy Policy (“Notice”) describes how we collect, use, share and protect information from or about visitors to our website (“the Site”) and individuals who register on the Site to receive our services and orders for our products. We take the protection of your personal data seriously and conform to data protection laws. Personal data is being collected on this website only to the extent necessary for providing our services and for processing your orders for our products. This privacy statement gives you an overview of how we ensure this protection and what kind of data is being collected for what purpose. Please read this Notice carefully and consider printing a copy for your records.
YOUR USE OF OUR SERVICES IS SUBJECT TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND THE APPLICABLE TERMS OF USE. BY USING OUR SERVICES, YOU ARE ACCEPTING THE PRACTICES SET OUT IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND THE APPLICABLE TERMS OF USE.
The effective date (and last updated date) of this Privacy Policy is found at the beginning of this Privacy Policy section. We may modify this Privacy Policy at any time. So you should review this Privacy Policy frequently. If we make substantial changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you on this website, or, at our discretion, by other means such as e-mail. Your continued use of any portion of our services following the posting of the revised Privacy Policy on this website will constitute your acceptance of the changes.
- What Personal Information We Collect and How We Collect It
In order to provide our services, we collect information about you that either alone or together with other information can be used to identify you as an individual (“personal information”). What personal information we collect and process depends on how and why you interact with us.
- Personal Information You Provide. When you register for an account or subscribe to any of our services, we collect a variety of information about you, including contact information such as your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, date of birth, dating preferences, etc. When you sign up for our services, you may provide us with additional information, which we may use in connection with providing our matchmaking services. You may also choose to provide us with your image(s) which may contain personal information. By providing us image(s) you agree that we may make them available to other users of our services. We may also collect your name, contact information (such as your email), and a copy of your correspondence with us, if you contact us. To process payments and transactions, we collect data such as your name, address, phone number, email address, and payment information, including but not necessarily limited to credit or debit card information and associated account information. There may be situations where we cannot delete such payment information from our systems, such as when we are legally obligated to keep a record of your payment or transaction in compliance with the law, for legitimate use of data for avoiding fraud and for security purposes, to protect the privacy of others, or when it would be extremely impractical. If you have any questions regarding our collection of your payment information, you may contact us as described under the “Contacting Us” section above.
- Sensitive Information. During the registration process and while updating your account, you may provide us with personal information that is considered “sensitive” in your jurisdiction, including but not limited to, religious beliefs, ethnicity, and political views. This information is only used by us to provide the services to you. By providing this information, you agree to our storing, processing, and use of such data for the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy. You may update your information by accessing your account at any time or select an available “prefer not to specify” option in response to any questions requesting such information.
- Information We Automatically Collect. When you access or use our services, we automatically collect information about how you access and use our website and services. The information we collect may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and the number of clicks. If you use a mobile device to access or download any of our services, we may also collect device information (such as your mobile device ID, model, and manufacturer), operating system, and version information.
We generally treat such information we collect using cookies and similar technologies as non-personal data. However, to the extent that IP addresses or similar identifiers are considered personal data by local law, we also treat these identifiers as personal data. In addition, we sometimes combine non-personal information collected from these technologies with other personal information we hold. When we combine information this way, we treat the combined information as personal information for purposes of this Privacy Policy.
While this non-personal information collected from these technologies under certain circumstances could be considered personal information, we do not use this non-personal information to personally identify you beyond providing the services to you. We use this non-personal information in the aggregate to administer our services, prevent fraud, understand how users interact with our services, and gather demographic information to tailor our visitors’ experience on our services, show visitors content that we believe they might be interested in, and display the content according to preferences. The technologies we use to automatically collect information from you may include one or more of the following.
- 1) Cookies & Web Tracking. We use “cookies” to keep track of some types of information while you are accessing or using our services. Cookies are files placed on your computer, and they allow us to calculate the number of visitors to our websites and differentiate returning visitors from new visitors. They also allow us to save user preferences and track user trends. We rely on cookies for the proper operation of our websites; therefore if your browser is set to reject all cookies, the website will not function properly. Some cookies are automatically erased after the end of the browser session (these are “session cookies”), and other cookies are stored for a predetermined amount of time or permanently in your browser before they erase themselves (these are “temporary” or “permanent” cookies). While a cookie may distinguish your device, it will not name you. Almost every website uses cookies.
Types of Cookies that May be Used by Us
Operationally Necessary Cookies
We use certain cookies in an effort to help ensure that our website and our services are easy, secure, and safe to use. Without these cookies, services that you have requested (such as a secure website and service provided with our website), would not be possible. This category of cookies includes any of the following.
– Cookies that identify or authenticate our users to securely provide our services to you;
– Cookies that temporarily store certain user entries by you;
– Cookies that store certain user preferences (such as your language choices) which may have been entered in our system by you.
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to track usage data about our users (e.g. which users visited which pages on our website, etc.) and to evaluate this information statistically.
Third-Party Advertising Cookies / Third Party Pixel / Third Party Tracking
We also allow third parties to collect our users’ data through advertising cookies or pixels placed on our website. These cookies allow us and other third parties to provide you with interest-based advertising that is based on an analysis of your usage behavior (e.g., which banner ads you clicked on, which pages on our website you visited, etc.) on the internet and using our services.
If You Deactivate or Erase Cookies Used by Us
You can deactivate cookies on your computing device and/or mobile device via your browser settings, and you can erase any cookies already stored on your computing device and/or mobile device at any time in your browser. However, if you choose to deactivate or remove cookies, it may prevent certain features on our website from working properly and therefore affect your experience on our website. In addition, you may not be able to use all the features of our services if you deactivate or remove cookies.
For additional information and to opt-out of targeted advertising, please review our Third-Party Advertising Section below.
2) Pixel Tags and Web Beacons. “Web beacons” also referred to as “pixel tags” are small transparent graphic images that often are used in conjunction with cookies in order to further personalize our website for our users and to collect a limited set of information about our visitors including for security and fraud prevention purposes. We may also use pixel tags and web beacons in email communications in order to understand the behavior of our visitors and users.
3) Web Analytics. We collect and use statistical information about your use of our services to make our services more user-friendly, to understand our market share, to conduct market research and to make sure that we display relevant advertisements for you. To accomplish this, we work with various authorized service providers; and we use analytics tools in our website. However, these analytics tools will not use your IP address, or they will modify your IP address immediately after collection so that it will be less clearly linked to your device. These tools will also generate user profiles by using analytic cookies or by evaluating log files; however, these user profiles will not name you and will not be linked to your real-world information.
4) Promotional e-mails. Promotional e-mail messages we send you may contain code that enables our database to track your usage of the messages, including whether the e-mail was opened and what links (if any) were clicked. If you would rather not receive promotional e-mails from us, please see the Choice/Opt-Out Section below.

We may communicate with you in connection with providing our services to you by telephone or text message (e.g., to any wireless number you may provide to us). For example, you may sign up for a text messaging verification service (“Text Messaging Verification”) which enables us to verify your phone number via a confirmed text message and display an indication of such verification in your public account (as a security measure for other users). If you would rather not receive telephone calls or text messages from us, you may change or delete your number from your account-preferences page(s), or ask to be removed from our contact list if you receive a call or text message from us. You may also opt out of the Text Messaging Verification service at any time. Please note that we or one of our service providers may contact you by telephone in connection with an outstanding and past due balance on your account. Opting out of receiving telephone calls will not prevent you from receiving calls related to an outstanding balance owed to us.
- Push Notifications
We will send you to push notifications (e.g., paging communications) if you choose to receive them for purposes of service-related matters. If you wish to opt-out from receiving these types of push notifications you may turn them off at your computing device and/or at your mobile device.
- If You Choose to Not Provide Information
If you do not provide the personal information that we request, this may limit our ability to fulfill the applicable purpose for the collection and the services we are able to provide you. For example, we may not be able to consider or process your payment and/or transaction, match you with other users of our services, or provide a particular service you have requested.

- With governmental entities and/or courts with proper jurisdiction (individually or collectively the Government), as may be required by the Government and applicable laws, or in relation to a legal activity, such as in response to a subpoena or investigation of suspected illicit or illegal activities, or where we believe in good faith that users may be engaged in illicit or illegal activities, or where we are bound by contract or law to enable a network partner to comply with applicable laws;

You acknowledge and agree that we may disclose information you provide if required to do so by law, or if we, in our sole discretion, believe that disclosure is reasonable too (1) comply with the law, requests or orders from law enforcement, or any legal process (whether or not such disclosure is required by applicable law); (2) protect or defend our, or a third party’s, rights or property; or (3) protect someone’s health or safety, such as when harm or violence against any person (including you) is threatened.
- To Discretely Share With Trusted Third Parties, Such as Service Providers. We may share your information with third parties, but not in a manner that would reveal your identity. We may share your personal information, sometimes in conjunction with non-identifying information, with service providers that may be associated with us to provide services to you and/or to perform functions on our behalf. For example, outsourced customer care agents or technology assistants may need access to your information to perform services for you. Your information will be treated as private and confidential by such service providers and not used for any purpose other than we authorize.
- To Transfer By Sale of Business. As we develop our business, we may buy or sell assets and, depending on the transaction, your personal information may be part of the transferred assets.

Residents of California – California Privacy Policy
This section of this Privacy Policy is applicable only to California residents.
California Consumer Rights
Effective January 1, 2020, under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have the right to know what categories of personal information we generally collect, use, disclose, and/or sell about them within the past 12 months. California residents have the right to know where that information came from, the business or commercial purposes for the collection, and the categories of third parties with and/or to whom that information was shared and/or sold within the past 12 months. This Privacy Policy sets forth our policies and processes as it relates to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information.
California residents also have the right to request access to that information on an individual level, and to remove their personal information in accordance with applicable laws. Consumers who have a visual disability may be able to use a screen reader or other text-to-speech or text-to-Braille tool to review this Privacy Policy.
Data Access Request
If you are a California resident and you would like to submit a request to exercise your right to know what personal information we have collected, used or disclosed to third parties in the 12 month period prior to your request, you can make a request by: (i) sending us a request by email to EMAIL, or (ii) sending us a request by mail to this address: ADDRESS. Please specify in your request the details you would like to know, including any specific pieces of personal information you would like to access.
Please note that your right to know can be exercised without you being discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights under the CCPA and free of charge. However, we may request a fee, for example, if requests are unfounded, excessive, or have a repetitive character. We are not required to provide access to personal information more than twice in 12 months.
Data Deletion Request
If you are a California resident, or in accordance with other applicable law in your jurisdiction, and you would like to exercise your personal data deletion rights, you can: (i) send us a request by email to EMAIL, or (ii) send us a request by mail to this address: ADDRESS.
Please note that your right to deletion can be exercised without you being discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights under the CCPA and free of charge. However, we may request a fee, for example, if requests are unfounded, excessive, or have a repetitive character. We may not be able to comply with your request for deletion under certain circumstances, such as if we are legally obligated to keep a record of your payment and/or transaction with us. We may decline to comply with your request for deletion in the following circumstances: (i) to perform our contract with you, (ii) to detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for the activity, (iii) to debug to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality, and/or (iv) to comply with our obligation to maintain records of consumer requests such as made pursuant to the CCPA.
Verification Process
To protect your privacy, we must first verify your identity before we can respond to and process your request for access to specific data or to delete data. We will request certain account information to verify your identity that may include any of the following: the email address associated with your account, your account ID, your security PIN, your date of birth, and/or your zip/postal code. Your account ID and security PIN are assigned to you when you register to our service. You can access these at any time in your online account on our website. If you cannot provide us with such requested information, we may ask you to provide other account information to verify your identity.
Requests to opt out of selling of personal information, if applicable, will be honored in accordance with applicable laws.
We will make good faith efforts to provide you with access to your data when you request it, but there may be circumstances in which we may not provide access or delete data, as allowed by law. For example, we are not required to delete personal information needed to provide a service you asked us to provide, to detect fraudulent or illegal activity, required for bookkeeping or tax purposes (e.g., transaction data), or required for legal purposes. Also, we are not required to provide access to information that contains legal privilege, where your identity could not be verified, or where the information would compromise others’ privacy or other legitimate rights, like intellectual property rights. If we determine that your request for access or deletion should be denied or restricted in any particular instance, we will provide you with an explanation of why that determination has been made and a contact point for any further inquiries.
Authorized Agent
If you wish to designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf, please inform us when you make your request. You can designate an authorized agent to make a request under the CCPA on your behalf if: (i) the authorized agent is a natural person or a business entity registered with the Secretary of State of California; and (ii) you sign a written declaration that you authorize the authorized agent to act on your behalf.
If you use an authorized agent to submit a request to exercise your right to know or your right to request deletion, please take the following steps:
Mail your written declaration authorizing the authorized agent to act on your behalf, certified by a California notary public, to this address: ADDRESS; and
Provide any information we request as described above and/or in our response to verify your identity.
If you provide an authorized agent with power of attorney pursuant to Probate Code sections 4000 to 4465, it may not be necessary to perform these steps and we will respond to any request from such authorized agent in accordance with the CCPA.
Non-Member / Visitor
If you are a California consumer and a non-member/visitor of our services and you would like to exercise your right to know or your right to deletion: please note that we only collect, use, and disclose non-name identifying information. For this reason, we do not have a reasonable method by which we could verify your identity with certainty required under CCPA. Therefore, we may not be able to comply with your request.
The categories of personal information we collect about you, the categories of sources from which we collect the personal information, the business and commercial purposes for which we collect and disclose the personal information, and/or the categories of third parties with whom we share the personal information are described in the section above “How and Why We Use Your Personal Information.”
Data Retention
If you are a member with member access to our services, or if you use any portion of our services, your personal data will be stored for the duration of a member’s membership, and/or your use of any portion of the services. However, we will erase your personal data in response to your request, provided that there is none of the following conditions: an obligation under the law to store that personal information, we are legally obligated to keep record of your personal information in compliance with the law, for legitimate use of data for avoiding fraud and for security purposes, to protect privacy of others, or when it would be extremely impractical. If your personal data is subject to a mandatory storage period, we will ensure that this personal information is isolated and stored until the expiration of the mandatory retention period. If you are a member with member access to our services, or if you use any portion of our services, we may automatically delete your personal information, without notice, after ten years following termination of your membership and/or after your most recent use of any portion of the services. We will also store any personal data which is required to demonstrate that we have lawfully complied with valid requests under the CCPA for the required period.
Additional Information
Any access or deletion requests that can be processed by us will be done so within 45 days from the date we receive your request unless we notify you that an extension is required. In case of an extended completion period, we will process your request within 90 days from the date of your original request. If we are unable to satisfactorily verify your identity, we will not be able to process your request. We will not discriminate against you if you choose to exercise any of your privacy rights under California law.
Disclosure of Personal Information, No Sale
If you are a California resident, and you would like to submit a request to exercise your right to know 1) what categories of personal information we have collected, 2) what specific pieces of personal information we have collected, 3) what categories of sources from which we have collected personal information, 4) the purposes for which we use the personal information, 5) the categories of third parties with whom we share the personal information, and 6) the categories of information that we may sell or disclose to third parties, in the 12 month period prior to your request, you can make a request by: (i) sending your request in an email to EMAIL, or (ii) mailing your request to this address: ADDRESS.
Please note that we have not and will not sell the personal information of minors, e.g., under 18 years of age, without affirmative authorization.
Right to Opt-Out of the Sale of Personal Information
California residents also have the right to request that we limit or stop the “selling” (a broad word used to also include some types of sharing) of their personal information under certain circumstances.
Categories of Personal Information, We Collect, Use, and Disclose
A list of the categories of personal information we collect and have collected from California consumers within the past twelve months, the categories of sources from which that information is collected, the business or commercial purposes for which the information is collected, and the categories of third parties with whom we share personal information are described in the section “How and Why We Use Your Personal Information.” Note that we do not necessarily collect all specific pieces of personal information described for any given person.
Please note that the section “How and Why We Use Your Personal Information also reflects the categories of personal information we collect from California consumers, the categories of sources from which that information was collected, the business or commercial purposes for which the information was collected, and the categories of third parties with whom we share personal information.
