Terms that are capitalized but not defined below have the meanings set forth in our Privacy Notice.

Within these categories of Personal Information, we may also collect the following categories of Sensitive Personal Information (as defined in the CCPA): Account log-in, financial account, debit card, or credit card number, in combination with any required security or access codes, password, or credentials allowing access to the account

Categories of Recipients of Personal Information

For each category of Personal Information (including Sensitive Personal Information) listed above, we disclose this information as described in the “How we share your information“ section of our Privacy Notice. In addition, we disclose Identifiers and Internet or other similar network activity to advertising providers that tailor online ads to your interests based on information they collect about your online activity (known as interest-based advertising).

Sources of Personal Information

We obtain the categories of Personal Information listed above directly from you or from devices on which you use our DataForge Services, as well as from the following categories of sources: our corporate affiliates, publicly-available databases, third-party business partners, social media sites, and other third-party sources, and as described in our “Information We Collect About You“ section of the Privacy Notice.

Purposes for Which We Use Personal Information

We use Personal Information for a variety of business and commercial purposes, as described in the “How We Use Your Information“ section of our Privacy Notice, which is linked above.

Retention Period Criteria

DataForge retains the Personal Information described above for as long as you use our DataForge Services, as may be required by law (for example, to comply with applicable legal tax or accounting requirements), as necessary for other legitimate business or commercial purposes described in our Privacy Notice (for example, to resolve disputes or enforce our agreements), or as otherwise communicated to you.

CCPA Rights and Requests

You may make the following types of requests under the CCPA with respect to Personal Information that we process on our own behalf. Note: If you wish to make a CCPA request with respect to Personal Information submitted through or otherwise made available to the Platform Services, please direct your request to the relevant Customer directly, as that data is governed by the terms of our agreement with our Customer.

Requests to Know, Correct, and Delete: You may request:

 (i) Access to a copy of the specific pieces of Personal Information that we have collected about you;

 (ii) Correction of Personal Information that we maintain about you, if it is inaccurate; and/or

 (iii) Deletion of Personal Information, subject to certain exceptions.

 

You can submit a request by emailing us at info@dataforgelabs.com. We will respond to your request consistent with the CCPA, and subject to any exceptions that may apply under the CCPA. We may need to request additional Personal Information from you, such as email address, state of residency, or mailing address, in order to verify your identity and protect against fraudulent requests. If you maintain a password-protected account with us, we may verify your identity through our existing authentication practices for your account and require you to re-authenticate yourself before disclosing or deleting your Personal Information.

Requests to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing: You also may opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your Personal Information, as “sale” and “sharing” are defined under CCPA.

We do not sell Personal Information in the traditional sense of exchanging information for monetary payment. However, because the definitions of “sale” and “sharing” under the CCPA may include the disclosure of your information to certain types of advertising and marketing partners, we provide California residents with the right to opt-out of any such sale or sharing of their Personal Information. As noted above, we may disclose or make available Identifiers or Internet or other similar activity to advertising partners. We allow you to opt out of such disclosures, as they may constitute “sale” or “sharing” as defined under the CCPA. We do not knowingly “sell” or “share” the Personal Information of individuals under 16 years of age.

You may opt-out of the Sale or Sharing of Personal Information for purposes of online analytics and advertising by visiting our “Your Privacy Choices“ page. We also recognize opt-out preference signals as required by the CCPA.

Authorized Agents

To make a request as an authorized agent on behalf of a California resident, you may use the submission methods noted above. As part of our verification process, we may request that you provide, as applicable, proof concerning your status as an authorized agent.

If you are making a Request to Know, Correct, or Delete on behalf of a California resident and have not provided us with a qualifying power of attorney from the resident, we may also require the resident to verify their own identity directly with us; or directly confirm with us that they provided you permission to submit the request.

Nondiscrimination

You have the right to be free from unlawful discriminatory treatment for exercising any of your CCPA rights.
