‍4. Your Rights under the CCPA

As described in more detail below, the CCPA provides you with certain rights regarding the collection, use, sale, and disclosure of your personal information.

‍The Right to Know About Personal Information Collected, Used, Sold, or Disclosed

You have the right to request that we provide you with certain information about the personal information we collect, use, sell, or disclose about you as well as the categories and specific pieces of information that we have collected about you in the 12 months before your submission of a verifiable consumer request. Specifically, you have the right to request the following information:

‍

1. The specific pieces of personal information we have about you.
2. The categories of personal information we have collected about you, including:

a) The categories of personal information we have collected about you in the past 12 months.

b) The categories of sources from which the personal information about you was collected.

c) Our business or commercial purpose for collecting your personal information.

d) If we shared your personal information:

– The categories of personal information that we disclosed about you for a business purpose in the past 12 months and, for each category identified, the categories of third parties to which it disclosed that particular category of personal information; and

– The categories of third parties that we share personal information.

e) If we sold your personal information:

– Our business or commercial purpose for selling your personal information.

– The categories of your personal information that we have sold about you in the past 12 months and, for each category identified, the categories of third parties to which it sold that particular category of personal information.

‍A household may request to know aggregate household personal information by submitting a verifiable consumer request. Also, unless the household has a password-protected account, if all consumers in a household jointly request access to specific pieces of information for the household, we can individually verify the identity of all the members of the household, and we can verify that each member is a current member of the household, then we will comply with the request.

However, there is certain information that we will not disclose to you. This information includes but is not limited to your Social Security number, driver’s license number or other government-issued identification number, financial account number, any health insurance or medical identification number, an account password, security questions and answer, or unique biometric data generated from measurements or technical analysis of human characteristics.

This right does not apply to Business Consumers.

The Right to Request Deletion of Personal Information

You have the right to request that we delete any personal information that we have collected from you and maintained about you. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, if we determine that we must comply with a deletion request and delete your personal information from our records, we will also direct any service providers we work with to also delete your personal information from their records. If we store any of your personal information in our archived or back-up systems, we will delete your information once the systems are accessed, restored, and/or used.

A household may request the deletion of aggregate household personal information by submitting a verifiable consumer request. In addition, unless the household has a password-protected account, if all consumers in a household jointly request deletion of household personal information, we can individually verify the identity of all the members of the household, and we can verify that each member is a current member of the household, then we will comply with the request.

Please note that we may deny your deletion request for a number of different reasons, which are identified in the CCPA.

This right does not apply to Business Consumers.

‍

The Right to Opt Out of or Opt In to the Sale of Your Information

At times, we may sell your personal information to another party. If we sell your personal information, you will have the right to, at any time, direct us to not sell your personal information (Right to Opt-Out). However, we will not sell the personal information of consumers that, to our actual knowledge, are less than 16 years of age (Minor Consumer). Once you opt-out, we will not sell your personal information unless you subsequently provide us with affirmative authorization to sell your personal information. We will wait at least 12 months after you have opted out of the sale of your personal information to third parties to request that you authorize the sale of your personal information.

If you have opted-out of the sale of personal information but we need to sell the information as a condition to completing a transaction, we will inform you that your transaction requires a sale of your personal information and provide you with instructions on how you can opt-in.

‍

5. Exercising Your Rights under the CCPA

‍Submitting a Verifiable Request to Know or Request to Delete

To exercise your Right to Know or your Right to Delete, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:

• Calling us at 1-844-915-2272
• Visiting https://www.h1.co/legal/privacy-preferences
• Sending an e-mail to [email protected]

To submit a verifiable consumer request, you (or your authorized agent) will be asked to:

• Provide your full name, title and designations, phone number, employing institution, business email address
• Provide a link to an existing public profile in your employing institution where that exists
• Provide evidence of authorization / copy of power of attorney where you are an authorized agent of the consumer
• Where a request is made by email, to submit the above information from the consumer’s business email account above, or where you are an agent, copy the consumer on the email sent from your business email account.
  Only you (or an authorized agent) may make a verifiable consumer request.

‍

Verifying Your Identity

Once you submit your verifiable consumer request, we will verify your identity by matching the information you provided us with information in our systems. If you submit a request to know specific pieces of personal information or a request to delete certain information, in addition to verifying your identity with information we have on file, you also may be required to submit a signed declaration under penalty of perjury stating that the requestor is the consumer whose personal information is the subject of the request. If we are unable to respond to your request for specific pieces of information, we will evaluate your request as if it is a request to know the categories of personal information that we have collected about you.

‍If you have a password-protected account with us, we may verify your identity through our existing authentication practices for your account and we will also require you to re-authenticate yourself before we disclose your personal information. If we suspect fraudulent or malicious activity on or from your account, we will not comply with your request until we perform further verification to determine whether your request is authentic and you are the person about whom we have collected the personal information.

We will generally avoid requesting additional information from you to verify you. However, if we cannot verify your identity based on the information we currently maintain, we may request additional information from you, which will only be used to verify your identity and for security or fraud-prevention purposes. We will delete any new personal information we collect to verify your identity as soon as practical after processing your request unless otherwise required by the CCPA.

‍Generally, if we are unable to verify your identity, we will deny your request and inform you of our inability to verify your identity and explain why we were unable to do so. If you submitted a request to delete and we are unable to verify your identity, we will ask you if you would like to opt-out of the sale of personal information (see next section for additional information).

‍Please note that we are only required to respond to your request for access to your personal information twice within a 12-month period.

‍

Responding to Your Request to Know or Delete

Once we receive your verifiable consumer request, we will confirm our receipt of your request within 10 business days and provide you with additional information about how we will process the request. Our goal is to respond to your request within 45 calendar days of receiving the request, beginning on the day we receive the request. However, in the event that we need more time (up to 90 calendar days) to respond to your request, we will provide you with notice and an explanation of the reasons that we will take more than 45 calendar days to respond. Any disclosures we provide will cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. If we are unable to comply with a given request, we will provide you with a response explaining why we have not taken action on your request and identifying any rights you may have to appeal the decision.

‍We will not charge you to verify your identity. In addition, we will not charge you to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

‍

Submitting a Request to Opt Out of or Opt In to the Sale of Your Information

At any time, you (or your authorized agent) have the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information to third parties (Right to Opt-Out). Please see our Notice of Right to Opt-Out for additional information.

To exercise your Right to Opt-Out, please submit a request to us as follows:

• Submit a request on our privacy preferences page
• Send an email to [email protected]

We will not charge you to verify your identity. In addition, we will not charge you to process or respond to your request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

‍

Responding to a Request to Opt-Out or Opt-In the Sale of Your Information

We will act upon your request as soon as feasibly possible, but no later than 15 business days from receipt of your request. We will also instruct any third parties to whom we have sold your information after you submitted your request, if any, to not further sell the information and we will immediately notify you when we have done so.

‍If we have a good-faith, reasonable, and documented belief that a request to opt-out is fraudulent, then we may deny the request, and we will inform you of the denial and provide you with an explanation regarding why we believe the request is fraudulent.

 

Authorized Agent for Requests

You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. Unless you have a power of attorney, if you would like to use an authorized agent, which is an individual or business registered with the Secretary of State that you have authorized to act on your behalf, to submit a request, you must provide the authorized agent with written and signed permission to do so, verify your own identity directly with us, and directly confirm that you provided the authorized agent with permission to submit the request. We may deny a request from an authorized agent that does not submit proof that they are authorized to act on your behalf.

‍

‍6. Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. For example, unless otherwise permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

• Deny you goods or services.
• Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
