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.

 

Right to Know and Data Portability

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 (the “Right to Know”). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (See Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete), 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 that personal information, and the specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request). Applicable law may allow or require us to refuse to provide you with access to some or all of the personal data that we hold about you, or we may have destroyed, deleted, or made your personal data anonymous in accordance with our record retention obligations and practices. If we cannot comply with your request, we will inform you of the reasons why subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions.

 

Right to Delete

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 (the “right to delete”). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see Exercising your Rights to Know or Delete), we will review your request to see if an exception allowing us to retain the information applies. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

1.       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 any agreement with you.

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

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

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

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

6.       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.

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

8.       Comply with a legal obligation.

9.       Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

 

We will delete or deidentify personal information not subject to one of these exceptions from our records and will direct our service providers to take similar action.

 

Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete

To exercise your rights to know or delete described above, please submit a request by either:

·         Calling us at: 619-436-4937

·         Emailing us at: [email protected]

 

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request to know or delete related to your personal information.

 

You may only submit a request to know twice within a 12-month period. Your request to know or delete 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.

You do not need to create an account with us to submit a request to know or delete. We will only use personal information provided in the request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make it.

 

Response Timing and Format

We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) business days. If you do not receive confirmation within the 10-day timeframe, please contact us at [email protected].

 

We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension in writing.

 

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your request. 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, in our reasonable opinion, is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another without hindrance.

 

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 Rights

We do not sell the personal information of employees, applicants, or minors we actually know are less than 16 years of age.

 

Changes to our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes to this privacy policy, we will provide you with a new Privacy Policy or post within the ADP Workforce Now or comparable platform and provide you notice that a new notice has been posted.
