Shipping and payment processing may be provided by a third-party service provider or contractor to whom We will provide Your data for this purpose.

You have the right to request that We disclose to You the categories and specific pieces of personal information We have collected about You.

The information may be delivered by mail or electronically.

Further, You have the right to request that We delete or correct Your personal information and any information we have shared with a third-party service provider or contractor with certain exceptions like the need to complete a transaction. This information shall cover the 12-month period preceding Our receipt of the verifiable consumer request and shall be made in writing and delivered through Your account with Us if You maintain an account with Us, or by mail or electronically at Your option if You do not maintain an account.

We may offer financial incentives, including payments to You as compensation, for the collection of personal information, the sale of personal information, or the deletion of personal information. We may also offer a different price, rate, level, or quality of goods or services to You if that price or difference is directly related to the value provided to You by Your data. We may offer financial incentives to You only if You give Us prior opt-in consent which clearly describes the material terms of the financial incentive program, and which may be revoked by You at any time.
   1. If We receive a verifiable request from a consumer to delete the consumer's personal information pursuant to subdivision (a) of this section We shall delete Your personal information from Our records, notify any service providers or contractors to delete Your personal information from Our records, and notify all third parties to whom We have sold or shared such personal information to delete Your personal information, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

You shall have the right to request Us to correct inaccurate personal information about You and request that We correct such inaccurate personal information taking into account the nature of the personal information and the purposes of the processing of the personal information.

We do not offer financial incentives associated with our collection, use, or disclosure of your personal information. You shall have the right to request that if We sell or share Your personal information, or if We disclose it for a business purpose, that We inform You of:

1. Comply with federal, state, or local laws or comply with a court order or subpoena to provide information.
2. Comply with a civil, criminal, or regulatory inquiry, investigation, subpoena, or summons by federal, state, or local authorities. Law enforcement agencies, including police and sheriff's departments, may direct a business pursuant to a law enforcement agency-approved investigation with an active case number not to delete a consumer's personal information, and upon receipt of that direction, a business shall not delete the personal information for 90 days in order to allow the law enforcement agency to obtain a court-issued subpoena, order, or warrant to obtain a consumer's personal information. For good cause and only to the extent necessary for investigatory purposes, a law enforcement agency may direct a business not to delete the consumer's personal information for additional 90-day periods. A business that has received direction from a law enforcement agency not to delete the personal information of a consumer who has requested deletion of the consumer's personal information shall not use the consumer's personal information for any purpose other than retaining it to produce to law enforcement in response to a court-issued subpoena, order, or warrant unless the consumer's deletion request is subject to an exemption from deletion under this title.
3. Cooperate with law enforcement agencies concerning conduct or activity that the business, service provider or contractor, or third party reasonably and in good faith believes may violate federal, state, or local law.
4. Cooperate with a government agency request for emergency access to a consumer's personal information if a natural person is at risk or danger of death or serious physical injury provided that:
   1. The request is approved by a high-ranking agency officer for emergency access to a consumer's personal information.
   2. The request is based on the agency's good faith determination that it has a lawful basis to access the information on a nonemergency basis.
   3. The agency agrees to petition a court for an appropriate order within three days and to destroy the information if that order is not granted.
5. Exercise or defend legal claims.
6. Collect, use, retain, sell, share, or disclose consumers' personal information that is deidentified or aggregate consumer information.
7. Collect, sell, or share a consumer's personal information if every aspect of that commercial conduct takes place wholly outside of California. For purposes of this title, commercial conduct takes place wholly outside of California if the business collected that information while the consumer was outside of California, no part of the sale of the consumer's personal information occurred in California, and no personal information collected while the consumer was in California is sold. This paragraph shall not prohibit a business from storing, including on a device, personal information about a consumer when the consumer is in California and then collecting that personal information when the consumer and stored personal information is outside of California.
