Sources of Personal Information:The categories identified as collected in the tables above were collected from the following categories of sources: You directly; fraud monitoring services; marketing partners; licensing entities; data analytics providers; and operating systems and platforms.

 

Retention of Information: The period of time for which we retain information depends on the purposes for which we collect or use that information. We will delete or de-identify information when it is no longer needed to fulfill the purposes listed for each category above, unless a longer retention period is required to comply with applicable laws. There may be technical or other operational reasons where we are unable to fully delete or de-identify your information. Where this is the case, we will take reasonable measures to prevent further processing your information.

Notice of Selling/Sharing. We do not “sell” or “share” your personal information, as these terms are defined under CCPA. As a result, we do not offer a right for consumer to opt-out of any “selling” or “sharing” of their personal information. We do not have actual knowledge that we sell the personal information of minors under 16 years of age.

Your State Law Privacy Rights

 

Right to Know/Access: You have the right to request our disclosure of any of the following:

  • The categories of personal information we have collected about you.
  • The categories of sources from which the personal information is collected.
  • The business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, or sharing with third parties for cross context behavioral advertising (e.g., targeted advertising).
  • The categories of third parties to whom we disclose personal information.
  • The specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.

Right to Correct: You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal information maintained by us. We may request documentation from you to determine the accuracy of the information. If you provide us documentation either upon our request or through your own initiative, that documentation will only be used for the purpose of correcting your personal information and complying with our recordkeeping requirements. As an alternative to correction, we may delete the inaccurate information if it does not negatively impact you or if you consent to this deletion. We reserve the right to deny this request if allowed under applicable law, or if we determine that the contested information is more likely than not accurate, based on the totality of circumstances. You can submit a correction request through a verified consumer request. That process is described below in the section, “How to Exercise Your Rights.”

Right to Delete: You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions. There may be scenarios where we deny your deletion request. If that occurs, we will provide you with an explanation as to why we could not delete all or some of your personal information.

Your Right to Opt-Out: You have the right to “opt out” of the “sale” or “sharing” (e.g., targeted advertising) of your personal information. As discussed above, we do not “sell” or “share” your personal information, as these terms are defined under CCPA. As a result, we do not offer a right for consumer to opt-out of any “selling” or “sharing” of their personal information.

Your Right to Limit: You have the right to limit certain uses or disclosures of sensitive information we collect about you. As discussed above, we do not use or disclose any sensitive information we collect for any purposes beyond CCPA’s minimum purposes. As a result, we do not offer a right to limit the use or disclosure of your sensitive information.

Non-Discrimination: You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for the exercise of your privacy rights. In the event you choose to exercise any of your consumer rights discussing this disclosure, we will not discriminate against you for exercising any of those rights.


How to Exercise Your Rights

Making Requests to Access, Delete, or Correct: You may exercise these rights, as applicable, by submitting a verified consumer request.

The response to a request to know will provide the personal information we have collected and maintained about you, in a portable format, unless an exception under applicable state law applies. Please note that, depending on the applicable state law, we may not be required to provide personal information to you if you make multiple requests in a certain time period. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

To submit a valid request, please email us at services@gfse.com or call us at ­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­ 1-800-554-4537, and provide us with the following personal information so that we may verify your request: name, email address, and phone number. Please be aware that if we cannot verify your request with the foregoing information, we may request additional information. If you submit a request that is not through one of the above designated methods or is deficient in some manner unrelated to verification, we will provide you with information on how to submit the request.

Once we receive your verifiable consumer request, we will confirm receipt of the request and respond to your request, consistent with applicable law, if we are able to verify your identity.

We do not knowingly collect information of minors under the age of 13.

Using an Authorized Agent to Submit a Request

 

Only you, or a natural person or a business entity registered with the Secretary of State to conduct business in California that you have authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information, to opt-out of sale or sharing, or to limit the use or disclosure of your sensitive personal information. If you use an authorized agent, you may provide a power of attorney executed pursuant to California Probate Code sections 4000 to 4465. If a power of attorney that meets those provisions is not submitted, you will be required to provide the authorized agent signed permission to submit a request, verify your identity directly by submitting a verified consumer request according to the procedures in the section “How to Exercise Your Rights,” and directly confirm with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request. To submit authorized agent documentation, contact us at services@gfse.com.

We reserve the right to amend this disclosure at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes, we will post the updated notice and update the disclosure’s “Last Revised/Reviewed” date.
