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:
a. 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.
b. Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive,
fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such
activities.
c. Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing
intended functionality.
d. Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise
their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
e. Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal.
Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.).
f. 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.
g. Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer
expectations based on your relationship with us.
h. Comply with a legal obligation.
i. Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are
compatible with the context in which you provided it.
We do not provide these deletion rights for B2B personal information.
6.3 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 either:
Emailing us at help@shadeaio.com.
Visiting https://shadeaio.com.
Only you, or someone legally authorized 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, which may include:
o Name, contact information, and information related to your
transaction or relationship with the Company, but the specific
information requested may differ depending on the circumstances
of your request for your security and to protect privacy rights.
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.
Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an
account with us. However, we do consider requests made through your
password-protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to
personal information associated with that specific account.
We will only use the personal information provided in a verifiable consumer
request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
6.4 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 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 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.
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.
6.5 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 at least 13 but not yet 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.
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 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.
