OUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS.

 
 

RIGHT TO KNOW, RIGHT TO ACCESS & DATA PORTABILITY

You have a right to request that the Company disclose what personal information we have collected, used, and/or disclosed about you. If we receive and confirm a request as verifiable (see Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights) and no exception applies, we will provide you with:

  • The categories of personal information we collected about you.
  • The categories of sources from which the personal information we collected about you came.
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting that personal information.
  • The categories of third parties with whom we have shared that personal information.
  • The personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.

You also have a right to request that we send you specific pieces of information that we have retained about you (also called a data portability request). Please note that we will not send you information if we are restricted from doing so by law or there is an exemption to providing such information. Often times if we refuse to provide information it is to safe guard your information. For instance, we will not provide a Social Security Number if you make a request for information. If no exemptions or restrictions apply, we will send information in a readable or accessible format in response to a verifiable consumer request (see Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights). .

 
 

RIGHT TO CORRECT

You have the right to request that we correct your inaccurate personal information maintained by us.

 
 

RIGHT TO REQUEST DELETION

Subject to certain exceptions, you have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained. If we receive and confirm your consumer request as verifiable, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records—unless an exception applies.

The CCPA provides a number a reasons why a deletion request may be denied. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

  • Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
  • Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
  • Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
  • Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
  • Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.).
  • Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information's deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
  • Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
  • Comply with a legal obligation.
  • Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

We may retain information despite your request if permitted or required by law.

 
 

RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF DATA SALES AND SHARING

You have the right to direct us not to sell or share personal information we have collected about you to third parties, including for ad targeting/cross contextual advertising.

HOW TO EXERCISE YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

To exercise your California Privacy Rights, please submit a verifiable consumer request to Company by either:

  • Emailing us at with the subject “CA Privacy Right Request”
  • Filling out the California Consumer request form at: https://www.giovanniranausa.com/notice-at-collection-request.html

Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State or 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.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request to exercise your California Privacy Rights 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.
  • 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 either: (A) your identity; or (B) authority to make the request. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us, but we must also be able to confirm the personal information relates to you. 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 match the information you provide in the process of making the request to the information we have retained to verify the request.

If you wish to submit a verifiable consumer request on behalf of another individual we will also need sufficient information to verify that the individual is the person about whom we collected personal information and that you are authorized to submit the request on their behalf. Please see the “Authorized Agents” section below for more information.

In certain circumstances, we may decline a request to exercise the rights described above, in accordance with applicable law.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your request (and will not be made more than twice in a 12-month period). If we cannot comply with a request, or cannot fully comply with a request, the response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply.

Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

Authorized Agents

In certain circumstances, you are permitted to use an “authorized agent” (as that term is defined by the CCPA) to submit CCPA requests on your behalf. We may verify the authorized agent’s authority to act on your behalf as follows:

For requests to know, access, correct or delete personal information, we may ask you to provide sufficient evidence to show that you have provided the authorized agent signed permission to act on your behalf, verified your own identity directly with us pursuant to the instructions set forth in this Notice, and directly confirmed with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request on your behalf. For requests to opt-out of personal information “sales” or “sharing,” we may ask you to provide a signed permission demonstrating your authorized agent has been authorized by you to act on your behalf.

 
 

NON-DISCRIMINATION

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights described above. Unless permitted by the CCPA, 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 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.
