Through our Advertising Services, we use information about users’ online activities over time and across non-affiliated web sites, mobile applications, or online services, as applicable, and across multiple devices including connected TVs.

• To respond to subpoenas, court orders or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims or when we determine it is necessary to comply with applicable laws or regulations.

OUR DISCLOSURE AND SALE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We will share the information collected from and about you as discussed above for various business purposes, with service providers and with third parties including our Clients.

YOUR CALIFORNIA RIGHTS AND CHOICES

Without being discriminated against for exercising these rights, California residents have the right to request that we disclose what personal information we collect from you, to delete that information, and to opt-out of the sale of your personal information, subject to certain restrictions. You also have the right to designate an agent to exercise these rights on your behalf. This section describes how to exercise those rights and our process for handling those requests.

Right to request access to your personal information

California residents have the right to request that we disclose what categories of your personal information that we collect, use, or sell. You may also request the specific pieces of personal information that we have collected from you. However, we may withhold some personal information where the risk to you or our business is too great to disclose the information.

Right to Opt-out of the sale of your personal information

California residents have the right to opt out of the “sale” of their personal information. California law broadly defines what constitutes a “sale” – including in the definition making available a wide variety of information in exchange for “valuable consideration.”

Depending what information we have about you, and whether we have included any of it in our marketing products and services, we may have sold (as defined by California law) certain categories of information about you in the last 12 months, as described in the above table of this Addendum, entitled “OUR DISCLOSURE AND SALE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION.

If you would like to opt-out of the sale of your Personal Information, you may do so on our OPT-OUT PAGE

Right to request deletion of your personal information

California residents have the right to request that we delete any personal information that we collected directly from you, such as if you have been a customer of ours. Please note that this is different from your right to “opt out” of us selling your personal information, which is described above. Also note that we do not generally collect personal information directly from consumers.

However, we may retain personal information  for certain important purposes, such as (a) to protect our business, systems, and users from fraudulent activity, (b) to comply with law enforcement requests pursuant to lawful process, (c) for our own internal purposes reasonably related to your relationship with us, or (d) to comply with legal obligations.

How to exercise your access and deletion rights

California residents may exercise their California privacy rights by submitting your request using our; by sending an email to privacy@prospx.ai; by mailing ProspX.ai, Attn: Privacy Officer, Stephen Newman; or by calling Stephen Newman. You may request access or deletion of your information up to two times within a 12-month period.

For security purposes (and as required under California law), we will verify your identity – in part by requesting certain information from you – when you request to exercise your California privacy rights. For instance, if you request categories or specific pieces of personal information we have received about you, you will need to provide certain identifiers to verify your California residency and verify your identity and confirm you are the person you claim to be. These identifiers may include your full name, email address, postal address, government issued ID, and a picture of yourself holding your ID. You may also need to go through challenge questions for knowledge-based authentication. This information will only be used for verification purposes. We will delete this information as soon as practical after processing your request, except as required to comply with CCPA.

Once we have verified your identity, we will respond to your request as appropriate:

• Where you have requested the categories of personal information that we have collected about you, we will provide a list of those categories.
• Where you have requested specific pieces of personal information, we will provide the information you have requested, to the extent required under the CCPA and provided we do not believe there is an overriding privacy or security concern to doing so.
• Where you have requested that we delete personal information that we have collected from you, we will seek to confirm whether your request is for an “opt out” or a “deletion”:  because “opt out” or “do not sell” rights enable us to maintain your information for “suppression” purposes – i.e., to prevent us from selling information about you in the future (which is what many consumers requesting “deletion” actually desire to occur), we try to explain this in order to ensure we are meeting consumers’ preferences.  In addition, “deletion” rights only apply to information that we have collected “from” consumers – which does not apply to much of the information in our databases.
• Upon completion of the above process, we will send you a notice that explains the categories of personal information we were able to locate about you, whether we (1) deleted, (2) deidentified, or (3) retained the information we collected from you.  Certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law.

If we are unable to complete your requests fully for any of the reasons above, we will provide you additional information about the reasons that we could not comply with your request.

Right to nondiscrimination

We will not deny, charge different prices for, or provide a different level of quality of goods or services if you choose to exercise these rights.

Information About Persons Under 16 Years of Age

We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors under 16 years of age in California unless we have received legal consent to do so. If we learn that personal information from such California residents has been collected, we will take reasonable steps to remove their information from our database (or to obtain legally required consent).

Authorized Agents

You may also designate an agent to make requests to exercise your rights under CCPA as described above. We will take steps both to verify the identity of the person seeking to exercise their rights as listed above, and to verify that your agent has been authorized to make a request on your behalf through providing us with a signed written authorization or a copy of a power of attorney.
