6.5 Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights
To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:
· Calling us toll free at (888) 265-8627
· Visiting CCPA Request Submission Form
· For account holders, access the submission form link from inside your account (instructions below).
Only you, or someone legally authorized 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. To designate an authorized agent, you must provide a valid power of attorney under California’s Probate Code or other verifiable written documentation granting the agent permission to make the request.
You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The 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, which may include:
· For password-protected account holders, you can access our secure request form by logging into your account and using the submission form link.
· For non-account holders, use the CCPA Request Submission Form. You must provide at least two data points that we can match with the personal information we have collected about you.
· Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
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.
Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. However, we do consider requests made through your password-protected account more easily verifiable when the request relates to the personal information associated with that specific 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.
6.6 Response Timing and Format
We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to an additional 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. 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.
7. Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA and CPRA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA/CPRA, we will not:
· Deny you goods or services.
· Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties.
· Provide you with a different level or quality of goods or services.
· Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels.
8. Financial Incentive
We offer various financial incentives. For example, discounts, coupons, and special offers via email when you sign up for our email list, participate in a marketing promotion or sweepstakes; reward/loyalty programs where you can earn rewards, accumulate points on purchases, and receive promotional offers, such as discounts, coupons, and opportunities to participate in other promotions; and rewards when you refer a friend who has not used our platform before.
In order to participate in some of these financial incentives, you may be asked to provide personal information, such as name, email address, phone number, and date of birth. Participation in any financial incentive program is entirely optional, and participants may withdraw from the program at any time.
For email-based incentives, you may unsubscribe from our emails by clicking the unsubscribe button on the email body. To cancel your loyalty or rewards program incentives account you may submit a request via email to [email protected] with the subject line “Loyalty Opt-Out” and include the personal information you submitted and the name of the applicable program or promotion you participated in; or by deleting your account through your loyalty points online wallet. Please note, by opting out or canceling your loyalty/rewards account, you are only deleting your information from the financial incentive programs. Company reserves the right to maintain your personal information for any other purpose described in this Privacy Notice unless you have exercised your right under Section 6.5.
Our good-faith estimate of the value of your Personal Information is $0.05. We estimate the value of consumers’ personal information by considering the average value to the business of the sale, collection, or deletion of a consumer's data. From time to time, we may provide additional terms that apply to a particular financial incentive, which will be presented to you at the time you sign up for the financial incentive.
9. Right to Access Information about Automated Decision Making and the Right To Opt-Out of Automated Decision Making
You have a right to request information about automated decision-making processes The Parent Company and its affiliates use, and you may request to opt out of automated decision-making. If you have questions about automated decision-making processes used by the Company and its affiliates, please email us at [email protected].

The Company does not generally engage third parties for direct marketing purposes. However, we provide notice here of California’s “Shine the Light” Law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83), which permits users of our Website that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
