5. Exercising Your CCPA Rights

Request to Know and Request to Delete

You can make a Request to Know and/or Request to Delete in the following ways:

• You may make a request here: [https://pinetwork.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1/create/1]
• You may also make a request through https://prighter.com/q/16457313501

You may only make a verifiable consumer Request to Know twice within a 12-month period.

Once we receive your Request to Know or Request to Delete, we will begin the process to verify that you are the person that is the subject of the request (the "Verification Process"). The Verification Process consists of matching identifying information provided by you with the information we have about you in our records. Upon making a request, you should be prepared to provide us with information that will help us to verify your identification. If we cannot verify your identity, we will not be able to respond to your request.

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us but if you have an account with us, you may make a request through the account. 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 your Request to Know and/or Request to Delete within 10 business days and will endeavor to respond substantively to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to additional 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

We will retain correspondence, documents and information related to CCPA requests for 24 months as required by law.

• Opt-outs are device and browser based. You must opt out on each device and each browser where you want your choice to apply.
• Opt-outs maybe stored via cookies. If you clear cookies, your opt-out may no longer be valid and you must opt out again where you want your choices to apply.
• We may still share your Personal Information with our service providers that help us perform functions that are necessary for our business such as third party companies that help us with order fulfilment, delivery, vendors that host our Website, analytics processors, etc. These entities are contractually obligated to keep this information confidential and not use it for any purpose other than for the services they provide to our business.

8. Other California Privacy Rights

California Shine The Light Law

Under California Law, California residents have the right to request in writing from businesses with which they have an established business relationship, (1) a list of the categories of personal information, such as name, address, e-mail address, and the type of services provided to the customer, that a business has disclosed to third parties (including affiliates that are separate legal entities) during the immediately preceding calendar year for the third parties' direct marketing purposes, and (2) the names and addresses of all such third parties.  To request the above information, please contact us at https://pinetwork.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1/create/1 .
