Your Rights

If we maintain personal information about you that is subject to CCPA, you may exercise certain rights in connection with this data if you are a California resident. 

Right to Know

California residents have the right to request that we disclose certain information about our collection and use of your personal information over the past twelve months (“Right to Know”).  Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you: 

  • The categories of personal information we collected about you. 
  • The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
  • The categories of personal information that we have disclosed for a business or commercial purpose.
  • Our business or commercial purposes for collecting or selling personal information.
  • The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
  • The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (i.e., a data portability request).

Right to Delete

California residents have the right to request that we delete the personal information that we collected from you and retain, subject to certain exceptions (“Right to Delete”). Once we receive and verify your request, we will delete (and direct our service providers/vendors to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies. 

Right to Opt-Out of Sale

The CCPA provides California residents with the right to opt-out of the sale of their personal information. 

We may collect cookies through our website and share those cookies with third parties for interest-based advertising purposes. This sharing may constitute a “sale,” as that term is defined in the CCPA. To learn more about our interest-based advertising practices and to opt-out of such sharing, please visit the section titled “Interest-Based Advertising” in our privacy policy. 

We do not otherwise sell your personal information. 

Right to Nondiscrimination

The CCPA provides California residents with the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for the exercise of their privacy rights conferred by the CCPA. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. 

Exercising Your Rights

If you are a California resident and wish to request for us to provide you with your Right to Know or Right to Delete, you may submit a request by contacting us by phone at [insert phone number] or by email at privacy@synapbox.com.

Upon receiving a request to know or request to delete from you, we will first confirm your identity. As part of this process, we may ask that you provide us with your name, phone number, and email address associated with your relationship with Synapbox. We will verify your identity by matching the information you provide with what we have on file for you. We may ask you for additional information to verify your identity or to comply with your request.

 

Authorized Agent

You may authorize an agent to make a request on your behalf. To designate an agent, please provide a written and signed document by both you and the agent that authorizes the agent to act on your behalf. You may also use a power of attorney. We will still require you to provide information to allow us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected personal information.
