Important information for California residents

This section describes how we collect, use and share Personal Information of California residents in operating our business, including in the context of in-person meetings, at our events and other offline sales and marketing activities. For purposes of this section, “Personal Information” has the meaning given in the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) but does not include information exempted from the scope of the CCPA.

Your California privacy rights. As a California resident, you have the rights listed below. However, these rights are not absolute, and in certain cases we may decline your request as permitted by law.

  • Information. You can request the following information about how we have collected and used your Personal Information during the past 12 months
    • The categories of Personal Information that we have collected.
    • The categories of sources from which we collected Personal Information.
    • The business or commercial purpose for collecting and/or selling Personal Information.
    • The categories of third parties with whom we share Personal Information.
    • Whether we have disclosed your Personal Information for a business purpose, and if so, the categories of Personal Information received by each category of third party recipient.
    • Whether we’ve sold your Personal Information, and if so, the categories of Personal Information sold to each category of third party recipient.
  • Access. You can request a copy of the Personal Information that we have collected about you during the past 12 months.
  • Deletion. You can ask us to delete the Personal Information that we have collected from you.
  • Opt-out of sales. If we sell your Personal Information, you can opt-out.
  • Nondiscrimination. You are entitled to exercise the rights described above free from discrimination in the form of refusal to provide the Services or legally prohibited changes to the price or quality of the Services.

How to exercise your rights You may exercise your California privacy rights described above as follows:

  • Right to information, access and deletion. You can request to exercise your information, access and deletion rights by:
    • clicking here and submitting a request form
    • calling us (929) 203-4850
    • emailing privacy@goodchop.com
  • Right to opt-out of the “sale” of your Personal Information. Like many companies, we use services that help deliver interest-based ads to you. Our use of some of these services may be classified under California law as a “sale” of your Personal Information to the companies that provide the services because they collect information from our users (e.g., device data and online activity data) to help them serve ads more likely to interest you. You can request to opt-out out of this “sale” of your personal information here: Do Not Sell My Personal Information.

We reserve the right to confirm your California residency to process your requests and will need to confirm your identity to process your requests to exercise your information, access or deletion rights. To verify your identity, we may require government identification, a declaration under penalty of perjury of other information. Your authorized agent may make a request on your behalf upon our verification of the agent’s identity and our receipt of a copy of a valid power of attorney given to your authorized agent pursuant to California Probate Code Section 4000-4465. If you have not provided your agent with such power of attorney, you must provide your agent with written and signed permission to exercise your CCPA rights on your behalf, provide the information we request to verify your identity, and provide us with confirmation that you have given the authorized agent permission to submit the request.

Personal Information that we collect, use, and disclose. The statutory categories of Personal Information we collect, as specified in the CCPA (Cal Civ. Code. §1798.140) include: California Customer Records, Commercial Information, Financial Information, Online Identifiers, Internet or Network Information, Geolocation Data, Inferences, and Sensory Information. The Personal Information (PI) we collect within these categories includes: contact data, profile data, information we obtain from social media platforms, payment and transactional data, marketing data, online activity data, and device data. The PI collected is sourced directly from you, third-parties, and in certain instances, automatic collection. As noted herein, the business/commercial purpose for this data collection relates directly to operating and improving our Service and business operations, research and development, marketing and advertising, and compliance and data protection. The categories of third parties to whom we “disclose” PI for business purposes include: affiliates, service providers, partners, advertising partners, third-party platforms, professional advisors, authorities, and business transferees. Pursuant to the CCPA definition of a “sale,” the categories to whom we “sell” PI include advertising partners (to facilitate online advertising). The information provided herein describes our practices currently and during the 12 month preceding the effective date of this Privacy Policy. Information you voluntarily provide to us, such as in free-form webforms, may contain other categories of information not described herein.
