Your Rights and Choices. The CCPA provides California Consumers with specific rights regarding their Personal Information. The following paragraphs describe CCPA rights and explain how to exercise those rights. Each of these rights is subject to our receipt of a verifiable consumer request (see Submit a Consumer Privacy Request).

Right to Disclosure. You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your Personal Information over the past 12 months, such as:

• the categories of Personal Information we have collected about you.
• the categories of sources for the Personal Information we have collected about you.

DefinedCrowd is only required to respond to two disclosure requests within a 12-month period.

Right to Access. You have the right to request that we provide you with access to specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you over the past 12 months (also called a data portability request). If you submit a right to access request, we will provide you with copies of the requested pieces of Personal Information in a portable and readily usable format. Please note that DefinedCrowd is prohibited by law from disclosing copies of certain pieces of Personal Information (e.g., government identification numbers, financial account information, and passwords or security questions and answers) because the disclosure would create a substantial, articulable, and unreasonable risk to the security of the information, our business systems, or your account.

Submit a Consumer Privacy Request. To exercise any of the above rights, please submit a verifiable consumer privacy request to DefinedCrowd by email to: [email protected]

Verification. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information unless we can verify your identity and your authority to make the request and confirm that the Personal Information relates to you. A verifiable consumer privacy request must:

• provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we have collected Personal Information or an authorized representative.
• describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

You do not have to sign up with DefinedCrowd to make a verifiable consumer privacy request. We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer privacy request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

Authorized Agent. You may make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. Otherwise, only you, or a person you have designated in writing as your authorized agent or who is registered with the California Secretary of State to act on your behalf, or to whom you have provided power of attorney pursuant to California Probate Code sections 4000 to 4465 ("Authorized Agent") may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information. If you wish to have an Authorized Agent make a verifiable consumer request on your behalf, they will need to provide us with sufficient written proof that you have designated them as your Authorized Agent, and we will still require you to provide sufficient information to allow us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information.

DefinedCrowd's Response. We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of receipt. If we require more time, we will notify you in writing of the reason and extension period. We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding receipt of the verifiable consumer request. If we cannot comply with part or all of your request, we will explain the reasons in our response.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer privacy 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.

Nondiscrimination. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by law, we will not do any of the following as a result of your having exercised your right under the CCPA:

• 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.

Your right	What this means for you	What you can do
To know how we process your Personal Information.	We are required to provide notice about the way that we will use the Personal Information we collect.	We have set the required notices in this Privacy Policy.

To access your Personal Information.	If you request it, we will provide you with access to your Personal Information, along with details about the types of Personal Information we process, why we process it, and any third parties we work with to collect Personal Information on our behalf.	You can request to access your Personal Information (i.e. a copy of it). We may have one or more legally valid reasons to refuse your request in whole or in part, for example in order to protect the rights of other individuals.
To restrict the processing of your Personal Information.	In certain circumstances and to the extent required by law, we are required to restrict our processing of your Personal Information.	You can request that we restrict the processing of your Personal Information if (i) the data is inaccurate, (ii) the processing is unlawful, (iii) we no longer need the Personal Information, or (iv) you exercise your right to object.
To rectify your Personal Information.	We are required to correct the Personal Information we have about you if you inform us that it is incorrect.	If you become aware that the Personal Information that we hold about you is incorrect, or if your situation changes (for example you change address) please inform us and we will update our records.

In some circumstances, we are required to provide your Personal Information to another organization at your request and in a format that allows the other organization to read and use it.	You have the right to request that we transfer your Personal Information to another organization (i.e. another data controller) in a structured, commonly used machine-readable format, so that the other organization can read and use it.
To erasure of your Personal Information (a.k.a. the "right to be forgotten").	Upon your request, and in certain circumstances and where we are required to do so by law, we are required to delete your Personal Information.

If you make this request, we balance certain legal, contractual and business interests against your right to request the deletion of your Personal Information.
To object to certain processing of your Personal Information.	Upon your request, and in certain circumstances and where we are required to do so by law, we will limit our processing of your Personal Information as you request.	You may object to the processing of your Personal Information in certain circumstances.

You can also object to our use of your Personal Information for direct marketing purposes.
To not be subject to a decision based solely on "automated processing."	We are required to keep records of automated processing that we carry out, if any, and, in certain circumstances, provide you with information about the way that the decisions are made, and respond to your objections to being subject to decisions made.	We do not currently make decisions about individuals based solely on automated processing. If we engage in this activity in the future, you will have the right to object to a decision we make wholly by a computer or algorithm without human input and to receive information about this type of processing.
