SAFEGUARDING OF INFORMATION

We take a number of steps to safeguard the security of personal information obtained through the Site. This includes updating and testing our security technology on an ongoing basis; restricting access to your personal data to those employees based on a need to know for performance of their job; and training employees on data privacy and security awareness. However, no system for safeguarding personal or other information is 100% secure and although we have taken steps to protect your Personal Information from being intercepted, accessed, used or disclosed by unauthorized persons, we cannot fully eliminate security risks associated with personal information.

DO NOT TRACK

“Do Not Track” is a privacy preference that you can set in your Internet search browser. It sends a signal to a website that You do not want the website operator to track certain browsing information about You. Our Site is not configured to detect Do Not Track signals from a user’s computer and We are unable to respond to Do Not Track requests. Our Site tracks users over time and across third party websites.

The Site is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect, use or disclose any Personal Information from children. If You are a parent or guardian and discover that your child or a minor under the age of 13 has posted, submitted or otherwise communicated Personal Information to our Site without your consent, then You may alert us at [email protected] so that We may take appropriate action to remove the minor’s Personal Information from our systems.

  1. Sensitive Personal Information. We do not use or disclose your sensitive Personal Information (“SPI”) for purposes that, with limited exceptions, are not necessary to provide our products and services as are reasonably expected by an average consumer requesting those goods and services.

 

  1. Consumer Rights. The CCPA provides California Consumers with the following rights, subject to certain exceptions:

 

Right to Request Deletion. You have the right to request that we delete your PI from our records, subject to certain exceptions. Upon receipt of a verifiable consumer request (see below), and as required by the CCPA, we will delete and direct any Service Providers, Contractors, and Third Parties to delete your PI from their records. The Company is not required to comply with your request to delete your PI if it is necessary for the Company (or its Service Provider) to maintain your PI to:

  • Complete the transaction for which the PI was collected, provide a good or service requested by you, or reasonably anticipated by you within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform a contract between the Company and you.
  • Help to ensure security and integrity to the extent the use of the Consumer’s PI is reasonably necessary and proportionate for those purposes.
  • Debug to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
  • Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another Consumer to exercise his or her right of free speech, or exercise another right provided for by law.
  • Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act pursuant to Chapter 3.6 (commencing with Section 1546) of Title 12 of Part 2 of the Penal Code.
  • Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research that confirms or adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the Company’s deletion of the information is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the ability to complete such research, if you have provided informed consent.
  • To enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with your expectations based on your relationship with the Company and compatible with the context in which you provided the information.
  • Comply with a legal obligation.

 

Right to Know. You have the right to request that we disclose the following to you as it relates to the 12-month period preceding the Company’s receipt of your verifiable Consumer request (see below):

  • The categories of PI we have collected about you.
  • The categories of sources from which the PI was collected.
  • The business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, or sharing PI.
  • The categories of PI we disclosed or sold for a business purpose.
  • The categories of third parties we disclosed PI to, by the category of PI.
  • The specific pieces of PI we collected about you.

 

Right to Request Correction. You have the right, subject to certain limitations, to request that we correct any inaccurate PI we maintain about you.  Upon receipt of a verifiable Consumer request, and as required by the CCPA, we will take appropriate steps to respond to your request.

 

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. For example, we generally will not provide you a different level or quality of goods or services if you exercise your rights under the CCPA.

 

  1. Submitting Consumer Rights Requests. To submit a California Consumer Rights request as outlined in this CCPA section, please contact us at [email protected]

Verifiable Requests. We reserve the right to only respond to verifiable Consumer requests. A verifiable Consumer request is one made by any individual who is:

  • the Consumer who is the subject of the request,
  • a Consumer on behalf of the Consumer’s minor child, or
  • by a natural person or person registered with the Secretary of State authorized to act on behalf of a Consumer.

 

If we request, you must provide us with sufficient information to verify your identity and/or authority to act on behalf of a Consumer. In general, we may ask you to provide identifying information that we already maintain about you or we may use a third-party verification service. In either event, we will try to avoid asking you for sensitive PI to verify your identity. We may not be able to respond to your request or provide you with PI if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the PI relates to you. However, making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. Additionally, you will need to describe your request with sufficient detail to allow us to review, understand, assess, and respond. We will not use the PI we collect from an individual to determine a verifiable request for any other purpose, except as required by law.

 

We reserve the right to charge a fee to process or respond to your request if it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that a request warrants a fee, we will attempt to notify you as to why we made that decision and provide a cost estimate before completing your request. We will attempt to respond to a verifiable Consumer request within forty-five (45) days of receipt, but we may require up to ninety (90) days to respond, under which circumstances we will notify you of the need for an extension.

 

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 receipt of your verifiable Consumer request. With respect to Personal Information collected on and after January 1, 2022, and to the extent expressly permitted by applicable regulation, you may request that such disclosures cover a period beyond the 12 months referenced above, provided doing so would not be impossible or require a disproportionate effort by us. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. To the extent permitted by the CCPA, we will respond to no more than two requests during any 12-month period.

 

Authorized Agents. You may authorize a natural person, or a business registered with the California Secretary of State to act on your behalf with respect to the right under this CA Addendum. When you submit a Request to Know or a Request to Delete, unless you have provided the authorized agent with a qualifying power of attorney, you must provide your authorized agent written permission (signed by you) to act on your behalf and verify the authorized agent’s identity with us. We reserve the right to deny requests from persons or businesses claiming to be authorized agents that do not submit sufficient proof of their authorization.

 

APPLICABLE LAW

This Policy is governed by the internal substantive laws of New Jersey without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Jurisdiction for any claims arising under or out of this Privacy Policy shall lie exclusively with the state and federal courts within New Jersey. If any provision of this Policy is found to be invalid by a court having competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Policy, which shall remain in full force and effect.
