Your Rights if You Are a Resident of California
California residents may exercise certain privacy rights pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, and related regulations (CCPA). Your right to submit certain requests as a California resident are described below. Please note that these rights are subject to certain exceptions and certain of these rights are subject to verification mechanisms.
Your Rights If You Are a Resident of Nebraska or Texas
Nebraska and Texas residents may exercise certain privacy rights pursuant to the Nebraska Data Privacy Act (NDPA) and Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA), respectively. Your right to submit certain requests as a Nebraska or Texas resident are described below. With respect to the processing of personal information belonging to a known child, a parent or legal guardian of the child may exercise the consumer rights on behalf of the known child. Please note that these rights are subject to certain exceptions and certain of these rights are subject to verification mechanisms.
Furthermore, if we have actual knowledge that you are 13 years of age and not older than 18 years of age, we will not without your consent process your Personal Information for the purposes of targeted advertising, profile you in furtherance of decisions that produce legal effects or effects of similar significance, or sell your Personal Information.
How to Make a Consumer Request
For residents of states listed above: (a) you can exercise your rights to opt-out of the selling and/or sharing of your personal information (to the extent applicable to you) by: (i) clicking the link provided above or (ii) enabling the setting in a browser that supports an opt-out preference signal (also known as universal opt-out mechanisms and Global Privacy Control); and (b) for all other requests (to the extent applicable to you), you can make a request by calling us at 1-800-777-4031 or submitting a request through our online webform (avadek.com/privacy-request). We will honor universal opt-out mechanisms (including Global Privacy Control) that communicate your intent to opt out of the sale of your personal information, targeted advertising, or profiling.
When you make certain requests (e.g., a request to know, delete and/or correct; or a request for access or data portability), to help protect your privacy and maintain security, we will take steps to verify your identity. We will generally verify your identity as follows:
We may also require a declaration, signed under penalty of perjury, that the person requesting the information is the person whose information is the subject of the request or that person’s authorized representative.
If there is no reasonable method by which we can verify your identity, we will state so in response, including an explanation of why we have no reasonable method to verify your identity.
If you use an authorized agent to submit a request to know, delete or correct, we may require the authorized agent to provide proof that you gave the agent signed permission to submit the request. We may also require you to do either of the following: (a) verify your own identity directly with us; or (b) directly confirm with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request.
There may be situations where we cannot grant your request. For example, if you ask us to delete Personal Information that we are obligated to keep to comply with applicable law we may not be able to fulfill some or all of your request. We may also decline to grant your request where our use of your Personal Information serves a legitimate purpose such as for security purposes. Your request may also be denied if it compromises the privacy of others, is overly repetitive or extremely burdensome to fulfill.
We will respond to valid requests to know, requests to correct and / or delete no later than 45 calendar days. If we cannot verify your request within 45 days, we may deny your request. If necessary, we may take up to an additional 45 days to respond to your request but in such an event will provide you a notice and an explanation of the reason that we will take more than 45 days to respond to your request.
Valid requests under “Right of Access” and “Right to Data Portability” will be transmitted securely. If we cannot fulfill your request, we will notify you of that decision and the reasons why within 45 days.
If you believe our decision was in error, you may have the right to submit an appeal using the same method(s) above used to submit your original request. If the result is the same, you can also seek assistance and/or redress from your state attorney general using the forms listed below:
Nevada law provides that Nevada residents may opt-out of the “sale” of “covered information” to third parties, including but not limited to name, address, social security number, and online service activity. Our uses of your Personal Information are not sales under Nevada law, so no opt-out right applies.
