Individuals in certain jurisdictions may have certain rights under applicable privacy laws. Rights specific to California residents are described below. Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to request access to, modification or correction of, or deletion of your Personal Information, and information on how it has been used or disclosed. For example, if you are a resident of Canada, you may be able to request access to and/or correction of your Personal Information. To exercise your rights, you may contact us at [email protected]. We will respond as soon as practicable, and in accordance with applicable law. We may take steps to verify your identity prior to responding to your request, and, where permissible by law, we may charge for such submissions.
If you would like to stop receiving newsletters or other marketing or promotional messages, notifications or updates from us, you may do so by following the unsubscribe instructions that appear in those communications, or by contacting us at [email protected] to opt-out of marketing emails. Please be advised that you may not be able to opt-out of receiving certain service or transactional messages from us, including legal notices.
We do not exchange Nevada residents’ Personal Information for money with anyone so they may further license or sell the Personal Information to additional parties.
This section applies only to California residents, as defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). As a reminder, this Privacy Policy does not apply to the data practices of third parties, including our Clients. If we collected information on a Client’s behalf, the relevant Client’s privacy policy governs the collection and use of that information.
If you are a California resident, subject to applicable law, you have the following rights with respect to your Personal Information:
California residents also have the right under the Shine the Light Act to request and receive certain information about the disclosure of Personal Information to third parties for their own direct marketing use, and options with respect to such disclosures. Because we, as it relates to the Sites and Services to which this Privacy Policy applies, do not share your Personal Information with third parties for their direct marketing use without your consent, these requirements are not applicable.
You can submit a Right to Know or Right to Delete request through our PRIVACY PORTAL (click the link to access) or by calling us, toll free, at 1-888-651-2032.
These rights are subject to our being able to reasonably verify your identity. We will verify your identity by matching information you provide with your request with information in our systems; and, for requests submitted through our Privacy Portal, by requiring you to respond to an automated email to verify your email address. In general, we will ask you to provide the following information in connection with your request: first and last name, email address, state and country of residence, and the nature of your relationship with Advantage. We may also request additional documentation or information solely for the purpose of verifying your identity.
You may also authorize someone else to exercise these rights on your behalf. When a third party submits a request on your behalf, they must indicate in our Privacy Portal or on the phone that they are an authorized agent, and supply us with evidence of such authorization; we will not fulfill any request submitted by a third party related to your Personal Information until we have received confirmation that you authorized such third party to submit a request on your behalf.
Please note that your exercise of these rights is subject to certain exemptions and exclusions, and your requests may be granted in whole, in part, or not at all, depending on the scope and nature of the request and applicable law. Where required by applicable law, we will notify you if we reject any part of your request and the reason(s) we are unable to honor it.
