This helps us serve you content based on preferences you have specified.

CALIFORNIA CONSUMER PRIVACY NOTICE AND RIGHTS

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act found at California Civil Code § 1798.100 et seq. and its implementing regulations (the “CCPA”), California Residents have the right to request:

• The deletion of the Personal Information (as defined in the CCPA) we have about them;
• The correction of inaccurate Personal Information we have about them;
• Additional information about whether and how we have collected, used, disclosed and sold Personal Information about them;
• The specific pieces of Personal Information we have about them; and
• The opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of Personal Information

California residents also have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment if they exercise the rights listed above. When you make a request, we may require that you provide information and follow procedures to verify the request before responding to it. The verification steps we take may differ depending on the request you make. We will match the information that you provide in your request to information we already have on file to verify your identity. If we are able to verify your identity, we will begin to process it. If we cannot verify your identity, we may ask you for additional information to help us verify your request. If we still cannot verify your identity, we will notify you with further explanation.

We will respond to your request within the 45-day time period required by applicable law. We reserve the right to extend that time to 90 days in order to complete your request. However, we may not always be able to fully comply with your request, and we will notify you in that event. To make requests, California residents may contact us through our web form or email us at privacy@quietplatforms.com. Requestors will be required to submit their name, email address, and request-related information. We may also ask you to confirm information such as your order history or account information so that we may verify the request. Please provide as much of the requested information as possible to help us verify your identity. We will use information received in a request only for the purposes of responding to your request.

The CCPA permits California consumers to use an authorized agent to make privacy rights requests. We require the authorized agent to provide us with proof of the California resident’s written permission (for example, a signed document addressing this topic or a power of attorney) that shows the authorized agent has the authority to submit a request for the California resident. An authorized agency must follow the process described above to make a request, and we will additionally require you and your authorized agent to verify his/her own identity. Additionally, we may confirm the agent’s authority with the California resident about whom the request was made.

Sharing occurs via cookies and tracking technologies (“Cookies”). You may opt-out of Cookies by visiting our Cookie Preferences Center in the footer of our website or your app settings. Opting-out of non-essential “sharing” will not stop marketing and advertising, but it may be less tailored and useful for you. Even after you opt-out, we will continue to disclose your Personal Information with our service providers.

GLOBAL PRIVACY CONTROL

You may opt out of the sharing of your Personal Information through an opt-out preference signal setting in your browser. In order to process your request through an opt-out preference signal, you must use a browser supporting the preference signal. If you choose to use an opt-out preference signal, you will need to turn it on for each browser and each device you use.
