To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information, whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.  

7. HOW WE MAY DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION

We may share your information with third parties that provide services to help us with our business activities such as responding to your requests for more information. These business partners are authorized to use personal information about you only as necessary to provide these services to us.

• As described above, you can set your web browser or mobile devise to refuse all or some browser, mobile and flash cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent.

APPENDIX A: CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

Effective: January 1, 2023

Your California Privacy Rights:

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CCPA”) and certain other California privacy and data protection laws, as applicable, residents of California have the following rights with respect to their personal information.

Right to Know About Our Collection, Disclosure, Sharing and Sale of Personal Information about You.

Personal information is information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to you, including the following categories: (a) identifiers; (b) categories described in California Civil Code §1798.80(e); (c) characteristics of protected classes; (d) commercial information; (e) biometric information; (f) internet or other electronic network activity; (g) geolocation data; (h) audio, electronic, visual, thermal, olfactory or similar information; (i) professional or employment related information; (j) education information; and (k) inferences drawn from such information to create a consumer profile.  You have the right to know the categories of personal information we have collected about you; the categories of sources from which we collect personal information; our business or commercial purpose for collecting, disclosing, sharing or selling personal information; the categories of third parties to whom we disclose, share or sell personal information, if any; and the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.  Personal information includes “sensitive” personal as described below.

Right to Know About Our Collection, Disclosure, Sharing and Sale of “Sensitive” Personal Information about You.

Although we do not collect, disclose, share or sell “sensitive” personal information, it is defined as personal information that reveals: (a) your social security, driver’s license, state identification card, or passport number; (b) your account log-in, financial account, debit card, or credit card number in combination with any required security or access code, password, or credentials allowing access to an account; (c) your precise geolocation; (d) your racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, or union membership; (e) the contents of your mail, email, and text messages unless we are the intended recipient of the communication; (f) your genetic data. “Sensitive” personal information also includes biometric information that is processed for the purpose of identifying you, information that is collected and analyzed concerning your health; or your sex life or sexual orientation.

You have the right to know the categories of “sensitive” personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources from which we collect personal information, our business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling or sharing “sensitive” personal information, the categories of third parties with whom we sell or share “sensitive” personal information, if any, and the specific pieces of “sensitive” personal information we have collected about you.

Right to Delete Your Personal Information

Subject to the exceptions set out below, and upon your submission of a verifiable request, you have the right to deletion of your personal information from our records, and to have us direct our service providers, contractors and third parties to delete your personal information from their records.

We are not required to, and reserve our right to not delete your personal information if it is necessary to: (i) complete the transaction for which the personal information was collected, provide a good or service requested by you, or reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform a contract between you and us; (ii) help to ensure security and integrity to the extent the use of your personal information is reasonably necessary and proportionate for those purposes; (iii) debug to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality; (iv) exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise his or her right of free speech, or exercise another right provided for by law; (v) comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act pursuant to Chapter 3.6 (commencing with Section 1546) of Title 12 of Part 2 of the Penal Code; (vi) engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when our deletion of the information is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of such research, provided we have obtained your informed consent; (vii) enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with your expectations based on your relationship with us and compatible with the context in which you provided the information; and (viii) comply with a legal obligation.

Right to Correct Inaccurate Personal Information.

Subject to the exceptions set out below, and upon your submission of a verifiable request, you have the right to correct any inaccurate personal information in our records, and to have us direct our service providers, contractors and third parties to correct any inaccurate personal information from their records.

If we cannot verify your identity pursuant to the CCPA and its regulations we may deny a request to correct.  In such event, we shall inform you that your identity cannot be verified.

In determining the accuracy of the personal information that is the subject of your request to correct, we shall consider the totality of the circumstances relating to the contested personal information. We may deny your request to correct if we determine that the contested personal information is more likely than not accurate based on the totality of the circumstances.

Right to Be Free from Discrimination

You have the right to not be discriminated against by us because you exercised any of your rights under the CCPA. This means we cannot, on the basis of the exercise of your rights thereunder, among other things, deny goods or services to you, charge different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties; provide a different level or quality of goods or services to you; or suggest that you will receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services or retaliate against you as an employee, applicant for employment or independent contractor.

How to Exercise Your Rights

Unless otherwise specified, to exercise any of your rights described in this Appendix A, please submit your request to us at privacy@kenect.com with the subject “CCPA Consumer Request.”  You can also exercise these rights by clicking the following link: www.kenect.com/consumer-request-form.  Alternatively, you can also contact us via the following toll-free telephone number 888-972-7422.

In order to verify your request, we may need you to provide us with enough information to identify you (e.g., your full name, address, and customer or matter reference number), proof of your identity and address (e.g., a copy of your driving license or passport and a recent utility or credit card bill), and a description of what right you wish to exercise along with any information to which your requests relates.  If feasible, we will match the indemnifying information provided by you with the personal information that we already maintain about you.

You may designate an authorized agent to make a request under the CCPA on your behalf. In order to fulfill your request to know or delete submitted by an authorized agent, you must provide the authorized agent written permission to do so, and we may require that you verify your own identity with us directly or provide us with a copy of the written permission given.

We reserve our right not to grant a consumer request if we cannot verify that the person making the request is the person about whom we have collected information, or someone authorized to act on such person’s behalf. You may only make a request to access or receive copies of personal information twice within a 12-month period. Any personal information we collect from you to verify your identity in connection with your request will be used solely for the purposes of verification.

Your Right to Opt-Out of the Sharing of Personal Information

We may disclose your personal information to third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes (“Share” or “Sharing”).  You have the right to opt-out of the Sharing of your personal information and you may exercise your right by clicking the following link: www.kenect.com/do-not-sell-or-share-my-personal-information-form.  If you exercise your right to opt-out of the Sharing of your personal information, we would refrain from Sharing your personal information, unless you subsequently provide express authorization for the sharing of your personal information.

Your Right to Opt-Out of the Sale of Personal Information

We may disclose your personal information to third parties in exchange for monetary or other consideration.  Such disclosures are considered to be “Sales” under the CCPA.  You have the right to opt-out of the Sale of your personal information and you may exercise your right by clicking on the following link:  www.kenect.com/do-not-sell-or-share-my-personal-information-form.  If you exercise your right to opt-out of the Sale of your personal information, we would refrain from Selling your personal information, unless you subsequently provide express authorization for the Sale of your personal information.

Your Right to Opt-Out by Using Opt-Out Preference Signals.

We will process any opt-out preference signal that (a) is in a format commonly used and recognized by businesses (for example, in an HTTP header field) and (b) is sent from a platform, technology, or mechanism that makes it clear to the consumer, whether in its configuration or in disclosures to the public, that the use of the signal is meant to have the effect of opting the consumer out of the sale and sharing of their personal information (“Opt-Out Preference Signal”).  We shall treat the Opt-Out Preference Signal as a valid request to opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal information for your browser or device, and, if known, for you.

If the opt-out preference signal conflicts with other privacy settings that you have submitted to us, we will process the opt-out preference signal but may notify you of the conflict and provide you with the opportunity to consent to the sale or sharing of your personal information.

If the Opt-Out Preference Signal conflicts with your participation in a financial incentive program, we shall notify you of the conflict and request your affirmation that you intend to withdraw from the financial incentive program.  If you affirm your intent to withdraw we shall process the Opt-Out Preference Signal.  If you do not affirm your intent to withdraw, we will not process the Opt-Out Preference Signal.

Your Right to Limit the Use or Disclosure of “Sensitive” Personal Information

We do not collect any “sensitive” personal information.  If we were to collect and use your “sensitive” personal information other than is necessary to provide our goods and perform our services, you would have the right to limit our use or disclosure of your “sensitive” personal information to that which is necessary to provide our goods and services to you.

Children’s Right to Opt-In to the Sale of Personal Information

We do not knowingly collect or sell the personal information of minors under 16 years of age without affirmative authorization. For minors who wish to opt-in to the sale of their personal information, we have established the following processes:

Minors between 13 and 16 years of age:

In the case of consumers between 13 and 16 years of age, we require the consumer to affirmatively authorize the sale of the consumer’s personal information.  In order to opt-in minors in this age range, as part of the account registration process for our products which may be targeted toward minors, we require the consumer or consumer’s parent or guardian to verify the consumer’s identity by providing at least two data points with data points maintained by the business, which we have determined to be reliable for the purpose of verifying the consumer.

Minors under 13 years of age:

In the case of consumers who are less than 13 years of age, we require the consumer’s parent to affirmatively authorize the sale of the consumer’s personal information. In order to opt-in minors in this age range, as part of the account registration process for our products which may be targeted toward minors, we require that the consumer’s parent or guardian verify the consumer’s identity, which we have determined to be reliable for the purpose of verifying the consumer.

We reserve the right to require additional information or not complete your request if we cannot verify your identity. If you are a parent or guardian seeking to opt-out on behalf of their child, please email us at privacy@kenect.com with the subject “Minor Opt-Out.”
