YOUR ACCESS TO AND CONTROL OVER INFORMATION

Certain jurisdictions have enacted data privacy laws, such as the CCPA and the GDPR, that include detailed consumer privacy rights. If you are a resident of the EEA, the GDPR grants you the following rights to:

* See what data we have about you, if any 

* Receive your data in a format you can easily send to another entity 

* Change/correct any data we have about you 

* Have us delete any data we have about you 

* Restrict our processing of your data

* Object to us processing your data

* Object to us making decisions about you solely based on automated processing.

If you are a California resident, California law may provide you with additional rights regarding our use of your Personal Information, including the right to request businesses to tell you how your Personal Information has been shared with third parties, if at all, for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. As a California resident, you have the right to: 

* See what data we have about you, if any; 

* Receive your data in a format you can easily send to another entity; 

* Change/correct any data we have about you; 

* Have us delete any data we have about you; and

* Exercise your rights without discrimination from us, unless permitted by law.

VERIFIABLE CONSUMER REQUESTS

You can assert any of the rights above by making a verifiable consumer request at any time using the contact information provided below. Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a Verifiable Consumer Request related to your Personal Information. Making a Verifiable Consumer Request does not require you to create an account with us. You may only make a Verifiable Consumer Request for access to Personal Information twice in a 12-month period.

The Verifiable Consumer Request must:

* Provide us with sufficient information to reasonably verify you are the person whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative; and
* Describe your request with enough detail to allow us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond.

If we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you, we cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information. We will only use Personal Information provided in a Verifiable Consumer Request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

We will acknowledge receipt of a Verifiable Consumer Request within ten (10) days. We endeavor to respond to Verifiable Consumer Requests within thirty (30) days (for data subjects located in the EEA) or forty-five (45) days (for California residents) of its receipt. If we require more time (up to ninety (90) days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. 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.

Unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded, we do not charge a fee to process or respond to Verifiable Consumer Requests. 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.

SECURITY

We understand the importance of keeping customer information safe and secure. We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect from you.

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 Device, App or Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We urge you not to share your password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet and mobile platforms is not completely secure.

Any transmission of information is at your own risk. We cannot be responsible for disclosures of your information you send via the Internet, including the App and email.

CHANGES

We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy at any time to reflect changes in the law, our data collection and use practices, the features of our Device, App and Website, or advances in technology. We will make the revised privacy policy accessible through the App or Website when a new account is being registered.
