Accessing and Deleting Personal Data (Outside California)
You may access and share the data that we have about you. If you have any concerns about the accuracy of the data, send questions to privacy@usablelife.com. If you wish to delete the previous data you have consented to share with us, you may do so by contacting Customer Support. When you request for us to delete your previously provided data, it will be deleted within 60 days after your request unless we reach out to you to request additional time to delete your data.
California Consumer Privacy Act
California Citizen Rights
Individuals who reside in the state of California, a “consumer,” as that term is defined under California law, have additional rights reserved under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Shine the Light law:
- Right to Opt-Out. We do not sell personal information.
- Right to Request Personal Information. As a consumer, you have the “right to know” and request that we disclose what personal information we collect, use, and disclose. See the instructions below for submitting a verifiable request, including through the online request form offered by us. You have the right to request the categories of personal information, as detailed under the CCPA, we have collected and store about you. In addition, you have the right to request categories of sources of personal information we collected about you, the business or commercial purpose for collecting, the categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information, and the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you. Categories of personal information that we disclosed about you for a business purpose may also be requested, with the appropriate lists provided under the CCPA. Upon receipt of a verifiable consumer request, described below in this Privacy Statement/Notice, from you to access personal information, we will promptly take steps to disclose and deliver, free of charge to you, the personal information required by this section and within the timeframes permitted for responding to exercise of this or other applicable right(s). The information may be delivered by mail or electronically, dependent on portability and technical considerations under the CCPA. We may provide personal information to you at any time following a verified request, but shall not be required to provide personal information to you more than twice in a 12-month period.
- Right to Delete Personal Information. You have the right to request we delete personal information we, or our service providers, store about you. Please keep in mind our response to such a request, upon verification, may include an explanation of the business purpose under which we may retain your information (for example, we would need to retain copies of a business transaction for financial records) in accordance with the CCPA.
- Non-Discrimination. If you elect to exercise any right(s) under this section of our Privacy Statement, we will not discriminate or retaliate against you.
If you are a California consumer and would like to submit a request based on this section of our Privacy Statement, please please email us at privacy@usablelife.com or call us toll-free at 1-800-910-6728. Also, be sure to check this policy for updates as we will review it at least every 12 months and make updates as necessary.
Identity Verification Requirement
We are required by law to verify that any data access request submitted under the authority of the CCPA was made by someone with the legal right to access the personal information requested. Therefore, prior to accessing or divulging any information pursuant to a data subject access request, under the terms of the CCPA, we may request that you provide us with additional information in order for us to verify your identity, your request, and legal authority (ex. authorized representative). Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize 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. Please indicate in your request if either of these apply, as additional verification may apply (ex. verify consumer’s identify and confirm with impacted person(s) that the authorized agent has permission to submit the request).
A 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. A verifiable request must also include sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
In general, our verification process includes reviewing the information submitted in the request, comparing it to the right(s) requested; the number of verification points/methods required by the CCPA; and the type, sensitivity, and risk of information requested, including to the consumer, from unauthorized disclosure or deletion. An account is not required with us in order to make a request. We will use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity and authority to make the request, or otherwise as permitted by the CCPA (ex. record retention). We will respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt, and if we require more time (up to 90 total days), we will inform you of the reason of the extension in writing. A response to a consumer request will be provided as required by the CCPA, such as through an account (if one exists), or otherwise by mail or electronically.
Access Request Responses
Under the CCPA, there may be certain circumstances where we would deny your request to access, receive, or delete personal information we hold. For example, we would deny requests where any such access or disclosure would interfere with our regulatory or legal obligations, where we cannot verify your identity, and/or where exemptions/exceptions permitted by the CCPA apply. We also have the ability under the CCPA to deny requests if it would result in our disproportionate cost or effort. Further, certain rights granted by the CCPA will not be effective until January 1, 2021. However, even where we will not substantively complete a request made under the CCPA, we will still provide a response and explanation to your request within a reasonable time frame and as required by law.
