NOTICE TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS REGARDING RIGHTS UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW

Effective January 1, 2020, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) grants consumers (California residents) certain rights with respect to their personal information. Five Crowns Marketing respects the privacy rights of consumers and endeavors to make consumers aware of and comply fully with the rights afforded to consumers by the CCPA.

The Right to Know

This Privacy Policy sets forth Five Crowns Marketing’ current and past (within past 12 months) practices related to the general categories of personal information we collect, how we collect it, how we use the personal information we collect, and how, if at all, and with whom we share the personal information. In addition to what is described in this Privacy Policy, consumers have the right to request that Five Crowns Marketing disclose to the consumer the following information:

  • The categories of personal information Five Crowns Marketing has collected about the consumer.
  • The categories of sources from which Five Crowns Marketing collects the personal information.
  • The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling (to the extent applicable) the personal information.
  • The categories of third parties with whom Five Crowns Marketing shares personal information.
  • The specific pieces of personal information Five Crowns Marketing collects about the consumer.

Five Crowns Marketing will provide this information to a consumer upon receipt and verification of a Verifiable Consumer Request to Know (hereinafter a “Request to Know”). For details on how to submit a Request to Know, see below. Any information provided by Five Crowns Marketing in response to a Request to Know will cover the 12 months preceding the date of the request.

The Right to Request that Five Crowns Marketing and its Service Providers Delete Your Personal Information

A consumer has the right to request that Five Crowns Marketing delete any personal information about the consumer which Five Crowns Marketing has collected from the consumer and direct any service providers acting on its behalf to do the same. Five Crowns Marketing will comply with a consumer’s request to delete his or her personal information upon receipt and verification of a Verifiable Consumer Request to Delete (hereinafter “Request to Delete”).

The CCPA may entitle Five Crowns Marketing to retain certain personal information collected from a consumer, notwithstanding the consumer’s request to delete the same. For example, notwithstanding a consumer’s request to delete, Five Crowns Marketing is entitled to retain the following information:

  • Personal information necessary to complete a contract between the consumer and Five Crowns Marketing.
  • Personal information necessary to detect security incidents.
  • Personal information necessary to identify and repair errors in Company provided products or services.
  • Personal information necessary to exercise any right provided for by law.
  • Personal information necessary to engage in research with information provided for by a consumer with informed consent.

Additional bases that would entitle Five Crowns Marketing to retain a consumer’s personal information, notwithstanding the consumer’s Verifiable Consumer Request to Delete the same, are set forth in California Civil Code §1798.105(d).

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

Under California law, a consumer has the right to opt-out of the sale of his/her personal information by a business that collects personal information and sells it (“Request to Opt-Out”). However, Five Crowns Marketing does not sell any personal information it collects from consumers. Because Five Crowns Marketing does not sell consumers’ personal information, a consumer does not need to submit any Request to Opt-Out.

The Right to Non-Discrimination for the Exercise of Your Rights Under the CCPA

A consumer has the right to be free from discrimination by Five Crowns Marketing because the consumer exercised any of his/her rights under the CCPA. Examples of discrimination may include:

  • Denying goods or services to you.
  • Charging you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties, in a manner that is not justified under the law.
  • Providing a different level or quality of goods or services.

Five Crowns Marketing will not discriminate against consumers who exercise their rights under the CCPA.

Exercising Your Rights Under the CCPA

Consumers may submit a request to exercise their rights under the CCPA by either of the following methods:

A consumer is entitled to utilize an authorized agent to exercise his/her rights under the CCPA. If the consumer chooses to utilize an authorized agent for this purpose and that agent is not acting pursuant to a power of attorney, Five Crowns Marketing reserves the right to require:

  • That the authorized agent submits a writing signed by the consumer in which the consumer authorizes the agent to act in making the request.
  • That the consumer directly verifies his or her identity with the business.
  • That the consumer otherwise directly confirms to Five Crowns Marketing that he/she has provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request.

Any authorized agent submitting a Request to Know on behalf of a consumer should complete and submit a completed California Authorized Agent Designation form to the ks@fivecrowns.com email along with his/her request on behalf of the consumer or provide all the information required by the California Authorized Agent Designation to Five Crowns Marketing when submitting a consumer request via email or toll-free telephone.
