    Reselling Personal Information

    We do not sell and/or disclose deidentified patient information exempt from the CCPA to third parties.

    Storage of Your Data

    We securely store your data on our own sysems or on cloud services that use password protected accounts. To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed. If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with a AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.

    Marketing

    We would like to send you information about products and services of ours that we think you might like. If you have agreed to receive marketing, you may always opt out at a later date. If you no longer wish to be contacted for marketing purposes, please email us as customerservice@societybrands.com.

    Your Rights and Choices

    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 (see Exercising Your Rights), 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.

    We do not provide a right to know or data portability disclosure for B2B personal information.

    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 (see Exercising Your Rights), 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 et. 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.

    We do not provide these deletion rights for B2B personal information.

    Exercising Your Rights

    To exercise any of these rights described above, please submit a request by either:

    Emailing us at customerservice@societybrands.com.

    Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may exercise any of these rights related to your personal information.

    You may only submit a request to know twice within a 12-month period. Your request exercise any of these rights must:

    Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

    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:

    If you have a password-protected account, by submittin the request via your account. Please note you will have to re-authenticate to complete any such request.

    Otherwise, we will require you to match at least two data points that the Company already knows.

    If we believe that disclosure of a specific piece of personal information or deletion of sensitive information has a high risk of harm, we may require you to match at least three data points that Company already knows, submit a signed declaration under penalty of perjury stating that the personal information is about the requestor, or both.

    If you are an agent authorized to make the request on behalf of another, the Company will require the agent to provide proof that the consumer gave the agent signed permission to submit the request, and may also require:

    The consumer to verify their own identity directly with the Company; or

    The consumer to confirm with the Company that they provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request.

    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 or delete. 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 personal information provided in the request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make it.

    For instructions on exercising your sale opt-out or opt-in rights, see Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights.

    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 by:

    Emailing us at customerservice@societybrands.com.

    We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable consumer request within 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.
