7. Privacy Policy addendum for California residents
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), California residents are afforded certain rights about the Personal Information (as a such capitalized term is defined under the CCPA) we have collected about them, which we have described in more detail below.
The chart found at Section 1.3 of the Privacy Policy describes the categories of Personal Information that we have collected and shared over the past twelve (12) months, the purposes for such collection, and the types of entities with whom we have shared such information.
Rights under the CCPA
If you are a California resident, the processing of certain personal information about you may be subject to the CCPA. Where the CCPA applies, this section provides additional privacy disclosures and informs you of key additional rights as a California resident. We will never discriminate against you for exercising your rights, including providing a different level or quality of services or denying goods or services to you when you exercise your rights under the CCPA.
Right to Know Request
Under the CCPA, California residents have a right to request information about our collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information over the prior twelve (12) months, and ask that we provide you free of charge with the following information:
the categories of personal information about you that we collected;
the categories of sources from which the personal information was collected;
the purpose for collecting personal information about you;
the categories of third parties to whom we disclosed personal information about you and the categories of personal information that was disclosed (if applicable) and the purpose for disclosing the personal information about you; and
the specific pieces of personal information we collected about you.
Right to Delete Request
Under the CCPA, you also have a right to request that we delete personal information, subject to certain exceptions.
Right to Opt-Out of the Sale of Personal Information
You may request that we not sell your Personal Information. Please note, however, that CCPA defines “sale” very broadly, and includes “selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a California consumer’s Personal Information by the business to another business or third party for monetary or other valuable consideration.” We use services that help deliver interest-based ads to you and may transfer Personal Information to business partners for their use. Making Personal Information (such as online identifiers or browsing activity) available to these companies is considered a “sale” under the CCPA.
How to Exercise Your Rights
If you are a California resident to whom the CCPA applies, you may contact us to exercise your rights:
Click here to request or delete your data.
Once we receive your request, we will review it, determine whether we can verify your identity, and process the request accordingly. We may need to collect information from you to verify your identity, such as your email address, government-issued ID, or date of birth. You may make a verifiable consumer request to access your personal information twice per twelve (12) month period. We aim to fulfill all verified requests within 45 days pursuant to the CCPA. If necessary, extensions for an additional 45 days will be accompanied by an explanation for the delay.
You may designate, in writing or through a power of attorney document, an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf to exercise your rights. Before accepting such a request from an agent, we will require that the agent provide proof that you have authorized them to act on your behalf, and we may need you to verify your identity directly with us.
8. Privacy Policy addendum for Virginia residents
Under the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (“VCDPA”), Virginia residents are afforded certain rights regarding the data we have collected about them. This notice describes how we collect, use, and share your Personal Data in our capacity as a “Controller” under the VCDPA, and the rights that you have with respect to your Personal Data, including sensitive personal data. For purposes of this section, “Personal Data” and “sensitive data” have the meanings given in the VCDPA and do not include information excluded from the VCDPA’s scope. In general, personal data is information reasonably linkable to an identifiable person.
Section 1.3 of the Privacy Policy describes the categories of Personal Data that we collect about you. However, the type of Personal Data collected will depend upon how you interact with our Sites and the information you voluntarily provide us. Accordingly, we may not collect all of the information listed in the chart from you. In addition, we may collect and/or use additional types of information after providing notice to you and obtaining your consent to the extent such notice and consent is required by the VCDPA.
Your rights under VCDPA
Right to Access Information/Correct Inaccurate Personal Data. You have the right to request access to Personal Data collected about you and information regarding the purposes for which we collect it, and the third parties and service providers with whom we share it. Additionally, you have the right to correct inaccurate or incomplete Personal Data. You may submit such a request as described below.
Right to Deletion of Personal Data. You have the right to request in certain circumstances that we delete any Personal Data that we have collected directly from you. You may submit such a request as described below. We may have a reason under the law why we do not have to comply with your request, or why we may comply in a more limited way than you anticipated. If we do, we will explain that to you in our response.
Right to Opt-Out of Sale of Personal Data to Third Parties. You have the right to opt out of any sale of your Personal Data by Sentiments Designs to third parties. We do not sell Personal Data to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.
Right to Portability. You have the right to request a copy of the Personal Data that you previously provided to us as a Controller in a portable format. Our collection, use, disclosure, and sale of Personal Data are described in our Privacy Policy.
Right to Opt-Out of Targeted Advertising. You have the right to opt out of Targeted Advertising based on your Personal Data obtained from your activities over time and across websites or applications.
Right to Opt-Out of Profiling. You have the right to opt out of having your Personal Data processed for the purpose of profiling in the furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning you.
Right to Appeal. If we decline to take action on any request that you submit in connection with the rights described in the above sections, you may ask that we reconsider our response by sending an email to privacy@sentimetdesigns.com that you receive the decision.
