SECTION 5 - YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS
As a California consumer, you have the right to request that we disclose what PI about you we collect, use, disclose, and sell. More specifically, you have rights to the following without charge. Please note we have included information about your rights and certain limitations on these rights under the CCPA to help you understand your rights, however these statements are for informational purposes only, not exhaustive, and your rights may be more limited under applicable law or regulation.

We will not retain any PI about you that was collected for a single one-time transaction if, in the ordinary course of business, that information about you is not retained, nor will we reidentify or otherwise link any data that, in the ordinary course of business, is not maintained in a manner that would be considered PI.
Right to Deletion
Subject to the exceptions set out below, and upon your submission of a verifiable request, you have the right to deletion of your PI from our records, and to have us direct our service providers to delete your PI from their records.
We are not required to, and reserve our right not to, delete your PI it if is necessary to complete the transaction for which the PI 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; detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for that activity; debug to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality; 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; comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act; enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with your expectations based on the your relationship with us; comply with an existing legal obligation; and otherwise use your PI, internally, in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which you provided the information.
Right to Opt-Out of the Sale of Personal Information
Under the definition of “sale” provided by California law, we sell PI that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could be reasonably linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household to third parties. We do not sell PI for money. We do however transfer PI to third parties for advertising and marketing purposes such as providing you advertisements elsewhere on the Internet for Shine Armor products in which you may be interested.
You have the right to opt-out of the sale of your PI. If you exercise your right to opt-out of the sale of your PI, we will refrain from selling your PI, unless you subsequently provide express authorization for the sale of your PI.
Right to Freedom from Discrimination
You have the right to not be discriminated against by us because you exercised any of your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act. 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.
We may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.
SECTION 6 - HOW TO EXERCISE YOUR CALIFORNIA RIGHTS
Unless otherwise specified, to exercise any of your rights described in this Statement, please complete a consumer request form available here; call us at +1 (408) 528 2764; or submit your request to us at the following email address: support@shinearmor.com.

You may also designate an authorized agent registered with the California Secretary of State to make a request under the California Consumer Privacy Act on your behalf. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. 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 you verify your own identity with us directly.
We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
We reserve our right not to fulfill a request if we cannot verify that the person making the request is the person about whom we collected information or someone authorized to act on such person’s behalf. Any PI we collect from you to verify your identity in connection with your request will be used solely for the purposes of verification. You will not have to pay a fee to access your PI or exercise any other rights described herein. However, we may charge a reasonable fee or decline to comply with your request if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. 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. You may only make a data access or data portability request twice within a 12-month period.
