6. Your Rights and Choices.

The CCPA provides certain consumers with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes these 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, 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.
• 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.
• The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).
  • 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, 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:

• 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, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, 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 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.
• 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.
  • Right to Rectify.

You have the right to request that we rectify certain inaccurate personal information about you (the “right to rectify”). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity, we will review your request.

• Exercising Your Rights to Know, Delete, or Rectify.

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

• Emailing us at

  support@arttherapysupplies.com; or

• Visiting us at arttherapysupplies.com and using the Contact feature.

 

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

You may also make a request to know, delete, or rectify on behalf of your child by contacting us and providing the necessary information about you and your child.

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

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 using one of the methods specified above.

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 period in writing.

If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, 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 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 is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity 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 and Sharing Opt-Out and Limiting the Use of Sensitive Personal Information.

If you are age 16 or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell your personal information, to not share (as defined in the CCPA) your personal information, and to limit the processing of your sensitive information (collectively, the “right to opt-out”). Consumers who opt-in to personal information sales, sharing, or expanded use of sensitive personal information may opt-out of the foregoing at any time.

To exercise the right to opt-out, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us by sending an email to care@ooly.com.

Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to reauthorize personal information sales, personal information sharing, and expanded use of sensitive personal information. However, you may change your mind and opt back in at any time by submitting a request, as set forth above with respect to Exercising Your Right to Know, Delete, or Rectify.

You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights. We will only use personal information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request.

7. 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 such 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.

8. Data Security.

We have implemented measures designed to protect your information. However, the safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Platform, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the Platform. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the Platform.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we take measures to protect your information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Platform. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Platform.

9. Data Retention.

We may retain your personal information for the longest of: (i) as long as necessary for the purposes set forth in this policy or otherwise communicated to you, including providing our services to you; or (ii) as long as your account is active. We also retain your personal information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations.

10. “Do Not Track” Policy.

Our Platform does not respond to Do Not Track signals.

11. Your State Privacy Rights.

State consumer privacy laws may provide their residents with additional rights regarding our use of their personal information.

Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, and Utah each provide their state residents with rights to:

• Confirm whether we process their personal information.
• Access and delete certain personal information.
• Data portability.
• Opt-out of personal data processing for targeted advertising and sales.

Colorado, Connecticut, and Virginia also provide their state residents with rights to:

To exercise any of these rights or appeal a decision, please contact us using one of the contact methods provided above. However, please note that the laws of a particular state may not apply to you or the Company depending on a variety of circumstances.

12. Changes to Our Policy.

We reserve the right to amend this policy at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes to this policy, we will post the updated notice on applicable elements of our Platform and update the notice's effective date. Your continued use of such elements of our Platform following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes.

13. Application of Policy.

Given that the Internet allows users from around the world to view certain electronic elements of our Platform, not all provisions of this policy may apply to every visitor or user of the Platform. The applicability of certain provisions may depend on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, in which country or state the visitor resides and which laws and regulations apply to the Company. Accordingly, the Company reserves the right to disclaim the applicability of any provisions in this policy if the Company is not actually subject to and required to comply with the particular law which the provision is meant to address.
