If we learn of a security systems breach, then we may attempt to notify you via email, phone, or physical mail, so that you can take appropriate protective steps.

8.2. Risk of Interception

Please keep in mind, however, that whenever you give out Personal Information online there is a risk that third parties may intercept and use that information.

10. ACCESS TO SPECIFIC INFORMATION AND DATA PORTABILITY RIGHTS

A   Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your Personal Information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion), we will disclose to you:

• The categories of Personal Information we collected about you.
• The categories of sources for the Personal Information we collected about you.
• Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that Personal Information.
• The specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).
• If we sold or disclosed your Personal Information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing:
• sales, identifying the Personal Information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and
• disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the Personal Information categories that each category of recipient obtained.

B   Deletion Request Rights

You have the right to request that we delete any of your Personal Information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion), we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your Personal Information from our records, unless an exception applies.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

1. Complete the transaction for which we collected the Personal Information, provide a product or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, fulfill the terms of a written warranty, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
2. Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
3. Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
4. Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
5. Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.).
6. Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship.
7. Comply with a legal obligation.
8. Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

We do not provide these deletion rights for B2B Personal Information.

C   Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either: [email protected] or write Attn: Privacy Compliance Officer, PO Box 392, Renton WA 98057

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

1. Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative, which may include:
2. Your name
3. Address
4. Additional information depending upon the type of request and the sensitivity of the information.
5. Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
6. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you.

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. However, we will consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to Personal Information associated with that specific account, provided the functionality is available.

We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

D   Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

If you have an account with us, we may deliver our written response to that account, provided that such functionality is available. If you do not have an account with us, or the functionality is not available for your account we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s 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 do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. 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

E   Do Not Sell My Personal Information

You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights. We do not sell your Personal Information to third parties for marketing purposes. We will only use Personal Information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request. However, you may change your mind and opt back in to usage of your Personal Information at any time. If you wish to opt-out, please contact us at our email address as set forth below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any request to delete your Personal Information shall be subject to Section B above.

F   Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

• Charge you different prices or rates for products or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
• Provide you a different level or quality of products or services.
• Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
