California Resident Additional Rights
If you are a California resident, California law may provide you with additional rights regarding our use of your personal information; subject to exclusions from the rights granted under California law with respect to certain information governed by certain sector-specific privacy laws.
Subject to certain exceptions, California residents have the following rights regarding their personal information:
- Access to Personal Information and Data Portability Rights. The right to request that we disclose certain personal information to you about our collection, use, disclosure and sale of your personal information over the prior 12 month period. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable request, we will disclose to you: the categories of personal information collected, the sources collected from, the purpose for collection, the categories of third parties shared with, and the specific pieces of personal information collected about you.
- Deletion Request Rights. The right to request we delete any of your personal information we’ve collected from you and retained (subject to exceptions granted under law). Once we receive and confirm your verifiable request, we will delete your personal information records, unless an exception applies.
Only a California resident, or someone legally authorized to act on such California resident’s behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to his or her personal information. In connection with submitting a request, we may require you to provide the following information: name, email, phone number and address. In general, we have the right to require you to provide written permission granting authority to your representative and for your agent to verify its identity directly with us, and we may deny a request from your representative who does not submit proof of authorization as we request.
A California resident may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify the requestor is the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative and describe the request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. We cannot respond to a request or provide personal information if we cannot verify the identity or authority to make the request.
We will endeavor to confirm receipt of a request within 10 days following submission and provide information about how we will process the request. We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to an additional 45 days), we will provide notice in writing explaining the reason for the extended time period.
Making a verifiable consumer request does not require a California resident to create an account with us. We may deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.
Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the request receipt date. If we deny a request, we will provide a response explaining the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.
We may sell personal information of a California resident, subject to such California resident’s right to opt out of those sales.
In the preceding 12 months, we have disclosed the following categories of personal information of California residents for a business purpose, and may have sold the following categories of personal information of California residents to third parties (including data aggregators, our customers or other third parties):

California law prohibits third parties who purchase the personal information of California residents we hold from reselling it unless the California resident has received explicit notice and an opportunity to opt-out of further sales.
If you are a California resident and are 16 years of age or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell your personal information at any time. We do not sell the personal information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of age, unless we receive affirmative authorization (i.e. an opt-in) from either the consumer who is between 13 and 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years of age. Consumers who opt-in to personal information sales may opt-out of future sales at any time.
If you are a California resident, to exercise the right to opt-out, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us by visiting the following Internet web page link:
https://usdatacorporation.com/opt-out
or via our toll-free number (888) 205-1623
Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to reauthorize personal information sales. However, you may change your mind and opt back into personal information sales at any time by visiting:
https://usdatacorporation.com/opt-in
You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights. We will only use personal information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request.
A California resident has the right to not receive discriminatory treatment by us for the exercise of the privacy rights conferred under California law. We will not discriminate against a California resident for exercising any of his or her rights.
Do-Not-Track signals are certain consumer browser settings that request that a web application disable its tracking of an individual user. While our Sites do not currently recognize Do-Not-Track signals, we do not track activities that occur on websites other than our own and declining to accept cookies will ensure that online activities on our Sites are not tracked.
California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits users of our Website that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

European Union Data Processing, Retention and Transfers
Our Sites are not directed to European Union (EU) residents. Data protection regulations in Europe require us to disclose additional information regarding any personal data that may be collected from residents of the EEA, and to limit our use of such information in specific ways. This section provides additional information applicable to European personal data only, which may not apply to users in other geographies.
Effective May 25, 2018, pursuant to the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), Eu residents may have certain statutory rights in relation to his or her personal data. Subject to any exemptions provided by law, EU residents may have the right to request access to their personal data, as well as to seek to update, delete or correct personal data. An EU resident can do this as outlined in this policy.

We may also process information that constitutes EU resident personal data for direct marketing purposes, and EU residents have a right to object to our use of such personal data for this purpose at any time.
As a general rule, we keep your data for only as long as it is needed to complete the purpose for which it was collected or is required by law or other legal obligations.
We use several safeguards if we transfer EU resident personal data originating from the European Union, the European Economic Area and their member states, Switzerland and the United Kingdom to other countries not deemed adequate under applicable data protection law, in compliance with GDPR, including using contractual protections that EU regulators have pre-approved to ensure your data is protected.
Any questions with respect to data originating from the European Union, the European Economic Area and their member states, Switzerland and the United Kingdom to other countries may be sent to:
EU residents may access the personal data we hold about them, request that inaccurate, outdated or no longer necessary information be corrected, erased or restricted, and ask us to provide data in a format that allows an EU resident to transfer it to another person. EU residents may also withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process personal data or object to our processing of the EU resident’s personal data where that processing is based on our legitimate interest. To exercise rights under this policy contact us at:
If you have any concerns about our processing of your personal data, you have the right to complain to your local data protection regulator.
