Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), California residents have additional rights with regard to their personal information. Certain capitalized terms not defined in this Policy have the meanings set forth in the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”). In the event of a conflict between this Section and the remainder of this Policy, this Section will take precedence for those California residents.
The right to know and the right to request deletion are subject to certain exceptions and subject to our ability to verify your identity. We have provided a summary of those rights below:
Right to Access. You have a right to access any of the following information for the 12-month period prior to the date of your request: (a) the categories of Personal Information we collected from you, (b) the categories of sources from which the Personal Information was collected, (c) the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling your Personal Information, (d) the categories of third parties with whom we shared your Personal Information, (e) the specific pieces of Personal Information we collected from you (i.e., “data portability”), and (f) a list of categories of Personal Information we Sold or disclosed for a Business Purpose in the last 12 months.
Right to Request Deletion. You have a right to request that we delete Personal Information we collected from you. We will comply with such request, and direct our service providers to do the same, subject to certain exceptions permitted by applicable law.
How to Exercise Your Rights. To exercise your rights under the CCPA, you may submit your request to us by contacting us at any of the following:
Who May Exercise Your Rights. You may only make a request to exercise your rights on behalf of yourself. A parent or legal guardian may make a request on behalf of their child. If you are a California resident, only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf may make a request related to your Personal Information. See the section titled “Authorized Agents” below for more information.
Verifiable Consumer Request. In order to verify your request, you must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information (e.g., name, address, and phone number). You must describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it (e.g., please specify the information that you want to access or delete). We will review your request and either respond with further questions or verify that your request is complete. We will maintain records regarding your request and our response.
When We Will Respond. We will try to respond to your request within 45 days. If we require additional time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your request. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information to you. We may charge a fee to process or respond to your request if it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.
Sale of Personal Information. We do not sell your Personal Information.
Non-Discrimination. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights under the CCPA by charging you different pricing or provide a different quality of products.
Authorized Agents. You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf to exercise your rights under the CCPA by doing the following: (1) provide the authorized agent written permission to do so; and (2) verify your own identity (per the process stated above), as well as the identity of the authorized agent directly. We may deny a request from an authorized agent if we do not have proof that they are authorized by you to act on your behalf.
Shine the Light. Encore does not share Personal Information as defined by California Civil Code Section 1798.83 (“Shine the Light”) with third parties for their direct marketing purposes absent your consent. If you are a California resident, you may request information about our compliance with Shine the Light by contacting us by email to info@encorerepair.com or by sending a letter to Encore Repair Services, LLC, 105 Prairie Lake Road, Unit D, East Dundee, CA 60118 (Attention: Legal Department). Any such request must include “California Privacy Rights Request” in the first line of the description and include your name, street address, city, state, and ZIP code. Please note that we are only required to respond to one request per customer each year, and we are not required to respond to requests made by means other than through this email address or mail address.
