Last updated on March 16, 2020. This Privacy Policy is effective March 16, 2020.

scIQ takes issues of privacy and the protection not only of personal health information, but all kinds of information about your private life very seriously. As discussed below we take great efforts to protect your information from disclosure, to use your information only to provide services to you, to improve the service for you, to improve our ability to provide services to other people in a similar situation, and to assist researchers in finding better ways to improve health.

WE DO NOT SELL OR RENT YOUR PERSONAL DATA TO THIRD PARTIES. WE DON’T SHARE YOUR INFORMATION (OTHER THAN FORUM POSTS) TO SOCIAL NETWORKS OR OTHER PUBLIC OR SEMI-PUBLIC PLACES UNLESS INSTRUCTED BY YOU TO DO SO.

We only disclose your information to you or as you authorize us to (although we may include certain elements of that information in our database on an anonymized basis). However, we wish to remind you that the kind of information scIQ collects is significantly more sensitive than the information you may be providing to other application providers – and you should be extra careful before instructing us to share that information with anyone else. Your health information is very sensitive. We recognize that and recommend that you take extra care before deciding to ask us to share it with anyone.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. It is a material part of the contractual agreement between you and Skinalytics, Inc. (“scIQ”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). Capitalized terms used in this Privacy Policy and not defined herein shall have the definitions provided in our Terms of Use Agreement. This Privacy Policy describes the ways we collect, protect, use and store your personal data. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully, and if you have any questions, feel free to contact us.

 

PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Who We are: For the purpose of applicable data protection legislation, the data controller of your personal data is Skinalytics, Inc. of 3995 Mount Albertine Ave, California. We are in the process of identifying and appointing a Representative in the EU, but in the meantime, our EU Representative is Michele Temple-Wong, reachable through [email protected] Our data protection officer is Michele Temple-Wong, reachable through [email protected]

Must Read Sections: We direct your attention in particular to the sections entitled “International Data Transfer” and “Your Rights”.

 

CHANGES TO THE PRIVACY POLICY.

We may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time by posting a revised copy to our website, http://www.mysci.com (“Website”) or through our applications, including scIQ (collectively the “scIQ Apps”), and we encourage you to review it frequently. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will alert you through a notice on the scIQ Apps, on our Website, or through an email prior to such change(s) taking effect. The “Last Updated” legend above indicates when this Privacy Policy was last changed.

 

PURPOSES OF PROCESSING

We collect information about you in a range of forms, including personal data. As used in this Privacy Policy, “personal data” is consistent with the definition in the General Data Protection Regulation 2018 and any successor legislation, as well as the California Consumer Privacy Act, and includes any information which, either alone or in combination with other information we hold about you, identifies you as an individual, including, for example, your name, postal address, email address and telephone number, and in the case of scIQ, includes “Sensitive Personal Data.”

We will only process your personal data in accordance with applicable data protection and privacy laws. We need certain personal data in order to provide you with access to certain parts of the Website and to access the scIQ Apps and any other of our products or services (collectively, the “Services”). If you created a profile/registered with us through the Services or the Website on a mobile device or through any other means, you will have been asked to tick a box to agree to the use and disclosure of your personal data as outlined below. This consent provides us with the legal basis we require under applicable law to process your data. You maintain the right to withdraw such consent at any time. Furthermore, scIQ’s Services may require you to share Sensitive Personal Data (defined below) with us, for which we will seek separate consent. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use Agreement, do not use any of the scIQ Apps or the Website or any of the Services.

Note that not all scIQ account types and features are available in all locations. Some of the examples below may not apply where you live.

 

WHAT WE COLLECT

Information You Give Us:

scIQ gives you a number of options regarding what information you will give us:

·        When you register to create an account with scIQ and/or scIQ Premium (whether through one of the scIQ Apps or on the Internet);

·        When you participate on a Forum or other communication mechanism; and

·        When you update a scIQ App or the Website with information relevant to your demographics or skin information.

When you register with scIQ you will submit a variety of personal data (such as gender, age, birthdate, name, email address, mobile phone number, location information) and as you use the scIQ Apps you may submit a variety of information (such as skin type, skin conditions, skin medical history, skin sensitivities or allergies, and skin reactions to skin care products) which may include sensitive personal data about personal health issues and/or information related to your past, present, or future physical or mental health condition (“Sensitive Personal Data”). You may also choose to provide us with access to certain personal data stored by third parties including social media sites (such as Facebook and Twitter) and health sites, such as Apple HealthKit and Google Fit. The information we have access to varies by site and is controlled by your privacy settings on that site and your authorization. You may (and may be required to) share information about or give us access to additional third-party websites or services.

If you register to use scIQ features with a healthcare provider, we will share personal data including Sensitive Personal Data with your healthcare provider that is using such features.

Also, when you sign up for scIQ Premium, we may collect personal data such as credit card numbers and/or cell phone numbers, as well as other information about you necessary to ensure that a transaction is properly authorized, such as your address, zip code, and cv number (collectively, “Payment Information”). We also may retain such Payment Information (or our third party “fulfillment house”, such as Stripe, may retain such information) to facilitate future transactions. See “Controlling Your Personal Data” below if you would like us not to use that information to assist you in completing future transactions.

By agreeing to this Privacy Policy, you are authorizing the connections between our Services and your records and our using your personal data as described herein and therein. Upon your affirmative acceptance of the scIQ HIPAA Authorization Form and the scIQ Fertility Program Patient Services Agreement, you authorize scIQ to use all such personal data, including data that may relate to HIV and/or other sexually transmitted diseases, mental and behavioral health conditions and treatment, substance abuse conditions and treatment, and other Sensitive Personal Data, throughout the term of your use of the Services, to store such data as described herein, and to store it using our HIPAA compliant policies and use it only as described in this Privacy Policy, as required or permitted by law, even once you are no longer using the Service. You may revoke such authorization with respect to data we have not yet obtained by contacting us as described below.

 

User Generated Content

In addition to information about yourself, it may be possible for you to submit other content ("Content"), such as photos and other media, each of which you present through technology available through the Services, including but not limited to our forum. It is entirely up to you whether you want to submit this additional information, and whether you would like to make it available to others – although information you share on the forum will automatically be shared with others, including users of the Services and others on the internet. However, scIQ has no responsibility for how people you allow to view your Content (or the public if you make any information available to the public or post on the forum) use that material, or to whom they may forward it. We urge you to be very careful when deciding to disclose your personal data, or any other information, on the forum. Such personal data and other information will not be private or confidential once it is published on the forum.

If you send or disclose any Sensitive Personal Data to us when you submit user generated content on our forum, you consent to our processing and use of such Sensitive Personal Data in accordance with this Policy. If you do not consent to our processing and use of such Sensitive Personal Data, you must not submit such user generated content to our Website.”

Finally, we may use information that you include in emails or other communication methods to us to assist us in providing the Service, and we may publish that information on an anonymous basis. Please note also that by accepting our Terms of Use Agreement, you have agreed that the text of any posting on any one of the forums, bulletin boards, or other similar publicly accessible systems offered by scIQ (including any market place or wish list) may be used and republished by scIQ in its sole discretion and will be made available to other people through the internet.

In each case, we will collect and record the information you have provided.

 

Information We Automatically Collect:

If you visit the scIQ Website, be advised that Company will maintain web logs to record data about all visitors and customers who use this website and interact with the Services and we will store this information. All web logs are stored securely and are accessible to a very limited number of employees who are required to adhere to strict guidelines regarding user data security and privacy.

Furthermore, when you use one of the scIQ Apps, we may record information regarding the use of that scIQ App, including your cell phone number, and if such facilities are enabled on your cell phone, your location and similar information.

Finally, in order to provide the best possible service and to allow us to make certain internal reports and make recommendations, we collect aggregate information about the use of the Service, including information about users accessing this website or using the scIQ Apps, such as Internet protocol addresses, browser type, browser language, referring / exit pages and URLs, other browser history, platform type, number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed and the order of those pages, the amount of time spent on particular pages, and the date and time (“Activity Information”). We use Google Analytics for aggregated, anonymized website traffic analysis. In order to track your session usage, Google drops a cookie (_ga) with a randomly-generated ClientID in your browser. This ID is anonymized and contains no identifiable information like email, phone number, name, etc. We also send Google your IP Address. We use GA to track aggregated website behavior, such as what pages you looked at, for how long, and so on. This information is important to us for improving the user experience and determining site effectiveness. If you would like to access what browsing information we have - or ask us to delete any GA data - please delete your _ga cookies, reach out to us via email at [email protected], and/or install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On.

When you visit the Services, we may also store information based on your usage history. This includes, but is not limited to, details of your transactions, content you viewed, click stream information, and cookies that may uniquely identify your browser or your account. We use various technologies to collect and store information which may include sending one or more cookies or anonymous identifiers to your device. Please refer to the section on cookies below.

 

Information We Collect From Other Sources:

You may choose to provide us with access to certain personal data stored by third parties. The information we have access to varies by site and is controlled by your privacy settings on that site and your authorization. You may (and in order to use certain services may be required to) share information about or give us access to additional third-party websites or services. Should you do so, you agree that scIQ may collect, store and use this information in ways consistent with this Privacy Policy.

Information from Social Networking Sites. Our Services include interfaces that allow you to connect with social networking sites (each a “SNS”). If you connect to a SNS through our Services, you authorize us to access, use and store the information that you agreed the SNS could provide to us based on your settings on that SNS. We will access, use and store that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. You can revoke our access to the information you provide in this way at any time by amending the appropriate settings from within your account settings on the applicable SNS.

Information from Health Sites. Our Services include interfaces that allow you to connect with health sites, such as Google Fit or Apple Fit. We may add this to information we get from our Services. Please refer to the section “Information Shared with Other Systems, Such As Healthkit or Google Fit” below for more information.

 

HOW WE USE/SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

We may use personal data to verify your identity, verify your address, or manage risk. We may also use personal data to perform and improve our Services, contact you, conduct research, and provide anonymous reporting for medical research. For example, we may use information to provide customer service and support, process transactions, resolve disputes, collect payments, prevent illegal activities, customize the Services and recommendations, reduce risk to all parties involved in our transactions, and verify the accuracy of information.

WE DO NOT SELL OR RENT YOUR PERSONAL DATA TO THIRD PARTIES. WE DON’T SHARE YOUR INFORMATION (OTHER THAN FORUM POSTS) TO SOCIAL NETWORKS OR OTHER PUBLIC OR SEMI-PUBLIC PLACES UNLESS INSTRUCTED BY YOU TO DO SO. However, we may share your personal information with third parties in an aggregate and anonymous format combined with the information we collect from other users for research and/or academic purposes only. We may share your personal information as necessary for scIQ to provide you Services, and possibly to tell you about products and services of interest to you (subject, in the case of EU residents, to your consent to receipt of such communications). to fulfill your service request; to third-party fulfillment houses, customer support, billing and credit verification services, and the like; to comply with tax and other applicable law; as otherwise expressly permitted by this privacy policy or the scIQ terms of use agreement, or as otherwise authorized by you. You should also note that glow does not guarantee the security of any of your private transmissions against unauthorized or unlawful interception or access by third parties.

We make your profile available to other users according to the privacy settings you set for yourself as part of your profile. Your user name will be identified to us and to any recipient of messages you send through the Services, including on forums. We also use your name, email address and other information on our system to notify you of new product releases, service notifications, and to solicit your feedback and input. In the event that we decide to allow you to submit other information about yourself, the availability of that information to other users will also be controlled by privacy settings you may set for yourself.

We share your personal data with employees and affiliates, as well as certain vendors, partners and third parties as required to offer the Services. This includes, but is not limited to, processing transactions, maintaining your account, responding to court orders and legal investigations, for litigation purposes, complying with audits or other investigations, and reporting to credit bureaus. We do not profit from your personal information and do not share your information with advertisers unless it is in an anonymized and aggregate form with information from other users.

We may combine your personal data with information we collect from other companies and use it to improve and personalize the Services, content, and communications with you. We may also do so in order to improve our prediction methodologies and algorithms.

 

Anonymous Data

We may combine your personal data with information we collect from other users in an aggregate and anonymous format and share this anonymous data with third parties. When we use the term “anonymous data,” we are referring to data and information that does not permit you to be identified or identifiable, either alone or when combined with any other information available to a third party. We may create anonymous data from the personal data we receive about you and other individuals whose personal data we collect. Anonymous data might include analytics information and information collected by us using cookies. We make personal data into anonymous data by excluding information (such as your name) that makes the data personally identifiable to you. We do this in order to improve the quality of the information we provide to you and to other users.

 

Protected Health Information

We maintain “protected health information” (as defined in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, “HIPAA”) in compliance with applicable health care privacy and security rules and our contractual obligations with our business partners and customers, including health care providers and their contractors (who are also subject to HIPAA). In the case where your healthcare provider uses certain scIQ features and you establish an account with us to allow such usage, we act as a conduit between (a) health care providers offering fertility-related services, (b) other persons involved in the arranging, provision or financing of health care services and (c) end users such as you, and share your protected health information in connection with those services only in accordance with applicable law.

 

Marketing

We may use personal data to deliver products, or service update notices, and promotional offers based on your communication preferences. With your consent (either in response to an email request or in certain cases, pursuant to the preferences you’ve expressed in your profile), we may send you marketing e-mails about upcoming promotions, and other news, including information about products and services that may be of interest to you. You may opt-out of receiving such information at any time: such marketing emails tell you how to “opt-out.” Please note, even if you opt out of receiving marketing emails, we may still send you non-marketing emails. Non-marketing emails include emails about your account with us (if you have one) and our business dealings with you. We may combine your information (after it has been anonymized) with information we collect from other companies and use it to improve and personalize the Services, content and advertising. We may also do so in order to improve our prediction methodologies and algorithms.

 

Third Party Content

scIQ may use information derived from your use of the Services to determine what content we believe may be of interest to you, including content from the providers of goods and services (who may pay us to show you such content) that you may be able to purchase through the Services or otherwise. We do not provide any personal data to third-party content providers. Note, however, that if a third party content provider asks us to show content to users with certain characteristics (for example, women ages 18- 24) or a segment of that group (for example, women ages 18-24 who have indicated they are trying to conceive) and you respond to that content or click on links embedded in that content, the third-party content provider may conclude that you have the characteristics of the audience that they are trying to reach. scIQ does not have access to or control over cookies, web beacons, or other technologies that third parties who have asked us to show you content may use, and the privacy practices of these third parties are not covered by this privacy policy. Please contact these companies directly for information on their data collection and privacy practices.

 

Affiliates

We may decide to share information about your transactions and experiences using the scIQ Service (but not about your creditworthiness) to our affiliates for their everyday business purposes.

 

Corporate Restructuring

In the event that all or a part of our business or assets are sold or transferred or we merge with another company your personal data may be transferred to the buyer/surviving party, but this privacy policy will continue to control that person’s use of your personal information.

 

Other Disclosures

We will share your information with any party when required by law or by a government request to do so or to combat fraud or criminal activity.

You understand and agree that we may access, preserve, and disclose any information we may have about you (including personal data and protected health information) and the contents of your account if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access, preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to avoid liability, to comply with legal process (for example, we may disclose your information as necessary to comply with an authorized civil, criminal or regulatory investigation), such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order, or to protect our rights and property, or that of our affiliates or the public. scIQ is not required to question or contest the validity of any search warrant, subpoena or other similar governmental request that it receives. We reserve the right to release personal data or other information about users who we believe are engaged in illegal activities or are otherwise in violation of our Terms of Use Agreement, this Privacy Policy or the scIQ Fertility Program Patient Services Agreement, even without a subpoena, warrant or court order, if we believe, in our sole discretion, that such disclosure is necessary or appropriate to operate the scIQ Apps, our Website or to protect our rights or property, or that of our affiliates, or our officers, directors, employees, agents, third-party content providers, suppliers, sponsors, or licensors. We also reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities we reasonably believe in our sole discretion to be unlawful. If we are legally compelled to disclose information about you to a third party, we will attempt to notify you by sending an email to the email address in our records unless doing so would violate the law or unless you have not provided your email address to us.

We also use anonymous data and certain technical information about your computer and/or smartphone and your access of the Services (including your Internet protocol address) in order to operate, maintain and manage the Services. scIQ may disclose that kind of information to its partners in order to provide the Services, resolve service problems and correct errors in the Services, to communicate with you about the Services, and to enhance your experience on the Services. However, we do not give our partners an independent right to share this information. Due to our contractual obligations with these third parties and the need to share information to deliver and support the Services, however, we cannot provide you with the opportunity to opt-out of sharing such information (whether personal data or other information) with these third parties. scIQ, certain of its partners, and each of their contractors and employees may view the content that you upload to the Services in order to provide the Services and otherwise perform the tasks set forth in this Privacy Policy.

 

CONTROLLING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

Be advised that if you send messages or post material on or forums or elsewhere containing personal data, that data may be collected and used by others. The Services provide a number of tools that you can use to control the availability of your profile and other personal data, but forum posts will be available to the general public. You can edit your profile and other data at any time through each of the scIQ Apps and/or the Website.

You can terminate your account at any time, which will remove your profile and other personal data from view. scIQ, however, may (but is not obligated to) keep information about you that is on its system following your termination, and your forum posts will continue to be available online. You may request complete deletion of your personal data (other than forum posts) by writing [email protected] Subject to the provisions of the scIQ Terms of Service, if any, we will delete your data within 60 days of our receipt of that request. Contact scIQ at [email protected] to terminate your account or for any other questions about your personal data and/or forum posts. Unless you request the deletion of your personal information and subject to applicable law, scIQ maintain copies of your content indefinitely, even after you terminate your account.

 

INFORMATION SHARED WITH OTHER SYSTEMS, SUCH AS HEALTHKIT OR GOOGLE FIT

You may instruct us to share certain of your personal data (including Sensitive Personal Data) with systems such as Apple’s Healthkit or Google Fit, and to access personal data from those systems which we will use to improve the services we provide to you and, we hope, make our information more accurate for you as an individual. Before you tell us to share your information with another system, however, you should review the applicable privacy policy of that system, since any information you have instructed us to share will become subject to those policies (Apple’s policy can be found at https://www.apple.com/privacy/privacy-policy/) and Google’s Privacy Policy can be found at http://www.google.com/intl/en_us/policies/privacy/).

In addition, in the event that you use one of those services, you should be careful about allowing other applications, services or people to access your information through that service. While much information collected by those services is innocuous, people who see scIQ data may be able to determine a variety of personal data, such as that you have skin issues or histories of skin cancer or other skin conditions.

scIQ does not use or disclose to third parties personal data or other information gained through the use of the HealthKit framework or Google Fit for advertising, other use-based data mining purposes or similar services, other than for purposes of improving health or for purposes of health or medical research.

We do not disclose any of your personal data, to any third party without your express permission (other than as provided herein or in anonymized and aggregated format), and in the case of information gained through HealthKit or Google Fit such sharing will only be for purposes of enabling the third party to provide health and/or fitness services or for medical research.

We do not sell any of your personal data, including personal data gained through HealthKit or Google Fit, to advertising platforms, data brokers or information resellers.

We do not use any of the personal data obtained through HealthKit or Google Fit for any purpose other than providing health and/or fitness services in connection with the scIQ Apps.

 

OTHERS’ INFORMATION

You may decide to provide us with another person's email address so that person may be invited to join scIQ or so that we may facilitate your communication with other people through the Services. You may also provide us with another person's contact information for purposes of delivering information through the scIQ Apps. We use this information to contact and, if necessary, remind that person that he or she has been invited to join scIQ or receive content through one of the scIQ Apps. All invitees are provided with the option not to receive further invitations from scIQ. We may disclose such information if required to do so in order to comply with legal process, as described above.

 

AUTOMATED DECISION MAKING AND PROFILING

We do not generally use your personal data for the purposes of automated decision-making. However, we may do so in order to fulfill obligations imposed by law, in which case we will inform you of any such processing and provide you with an opportunity to object.

For example, when you access our websites or log into the scIQ Service, our servers will automatically record certain information about your device and browser, and we may collect usage, clickstream, event data, crash data, and other technical data. We, our advertising partners and our service providers may also use technologies such as cookies, beacons, tags, Local Storage Objects (LSOs) and scripts to collect this information. Please consult our "Cookie Policy" for further information.

 

THIRD PARTY SITES

The Services may contain links to other web sites, and content in the scIQ Apps may be hosted by other web sites. These other sites maintain their own policies regarding cookies and the collection and use of personal data. It is up to you to review those policies yourself.

 

INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFER

Your information, including personal data that we collect from you, may be transferred to, stored at and processed by us outside the country in which you reside, including, but not limited to the United States, where data protection and privacy regulations may not offer the same level of protection as in other parts of the world.

We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Policy.

In addition, we urge you to take precautionary measures in maintaining the integrity of your data. Please be responsible in making sure no one can see or has access to your personal accounts and log-in username and password information.

USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may use, or disclose the personal information we collect for one or more of the following business purposes:

·        To fulfill or meet the reason you provided the information. For example, if you share your name and contact information to request a price quote or ask a question about our products or services, we will use that personal information to respond to your inquiry. If you provide your personal information to purchase a product or service, we will use that information to process your payment and facilitate delivery. We may also save your information to facilitate new product orders or process returns.

·        To help maintain the safety, security, and integrity of our Website, products and services, databases and other technology assets, and business.

As described to you when collecting your personal information or as otherwise set forth in the CCPA.

We will not collect additional categories of personal information or use the personal information we collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes without providing you notice.

SHARING PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may disclose your personal information to a third party for a business purpose or sell your personal information, subject to your right to opt-out of those sales (see Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights). When we disclose personal information for a business purpose, we enter a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to both keep that personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose except performing the contract. The CCPA prohibits third parties who purchase the personal information we hold from reselling it unless you have received explicit notice and an opportunity to opt-out of further sales.

We share your personal information with the following categories of third parties: We do not share your personal information with third parties, but you should be aware that when you are entering credit card and similar information, you are actually using a service provided by Stripe and the information you provide is not given to us, but is subject to their privacy policy, available at https://stripe.com/privacy.

 

DISCLOSURES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR A BUSINESS PURPOSE

scIQ may share the following categories of your personal information for a business purpose (as we have done for the preceding 12 months) to provide you with a variety of the scIQ Platform’s features and services:

·        Personal identifiers, such as your name, address, email address, date of birth, government identification number (such as social security number), driver’s license information, vehicle information, and car insurance information.

·        Personal information such as your age, gender, and pregnancy status whether you are trying to conceive (TTC), not trying to conceive (non-TTC) or pregnant.

·        Financial information, such as bank routing numbers, tax information, and any other payment information you provide us.

·        Commercial information, such as your transaction history.

·        Internet or other electronic network activity information, such as your IP address, type of browser, version of operating system, carrier and/or manufacturer, device identifiers, and mobile advertising identifiers.

·        Location data. We may use certain information like your IP address or other Device Information or Log Information to estimate your location (e.g., your city or state). We may also request to use location-enabled services on your device (which typically provide GPS or Wi-Fi access point details) to enhance our Services. We will only use these location-enabled services on your device with your consent, though.

In Connection with Sale or Merger: We may share your personal information while negotiating or in relation to a change of corporate control such as a restructuring, merger, or sale of our assets.

Upon your further direction: With your permission or upon your direction, we may disclose your personal information to interact with a third party or for other purposes.

SALES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

The definition of “sale” in California law is somewhat ambiguous. In the preceding twelve (12) months, Company has not sold your personal information as we understand that term and does not anticipate doing so in the future. However, you should review the discussion above to see how certain aspects of your personal information are used, some of which may be treated as a “sale” under California law.

 

YOUR RIGHTS AND CHOICES

The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

 

ACCESS TO SPECIFIC INFORMATION AND DATA PORTABILITY RIGHTS

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 (also called a data portability request).

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.

DELETION REQUEST RIGHTS

You 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, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.

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.

·        Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.

·        Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.

·        Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.

·        Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.).

·        Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.

·        Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.

·        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.

EXERCISING ACCESS, DATA PORTABILITY, AND DELETION RIGHTS

To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by sending us a message on our website or calling us at 1 (513) 813-1382. Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

·        Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.

·        Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

 

RESPONSE TIMING AND FORMAT

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to an additional 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data 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, specifically by electronic mail communication.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

 

PERSONAL INFORMATION SALES OPT-OUT AND OPT-IN RIGHTS

If you are 16 years of age or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell your personal information at any time (the “right to opt-out”). 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 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 (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us by the following means: visiting our webpage and sending us a message, sending us an email at [email protected] , or sending a letter to our address listed in this Privacy Policy.

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 in to personal information sales at any time by visiting our website and sending us a message. We will only use personal information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request.

 

NON-DISCRIMINATION

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

·        Deny you goods or services.

·        Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.

·        Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.

·        Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

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 contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.

To make such a request, please send us an electronic message through our website, email us at [email protected], or write us at our address listed in this Privacy Policy.
