California Privacy Rights

California’s Shine the Light Law: We do not disclose your personal information to third parties for the purpose of directly marketing their goods or services to you unless you first agree to such disclosure. If you have any questions regarding this Privacy Statement or would like to change your preferences, you may contact us.

California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA): This part serves as a privacy notice for California residents and applies solely to residents of California. Any terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this part. Note that provision of this CCPA notice is not an admission on our part that we are a “business” within the meaning of the CCPA, and nothing in this Privacy Statement may be construed as such an admission.

Personal Information We Collect

We collect certain “Personal Information” as defined by the CCPA and as listed in Section II and have done so within the last 12 months.

Personal Information does not include (a) publicly available information from government records; or (b) de-identified information or aggregate consumer information.

We obtain the categories of Personal Information listed in Section II from the following categories of sources:

• Directly from you
• Indirectly when you use our Services (e.g., coolies when using our website)=
• From any other sources listed in this Privacy Statement.

Our use of Personal Information

We may use and have disclosed the Personal Information we collect for the purposes detailed in in this Privacy Statement. We will not collect additional categories of Personal Information or use the Personal Information we collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes as those set out in these sections without providing you notice.

We do not sell Personal Information as the term “sell” is defined in the CCPA.

Sharing Personal Information

We may disclose any or all of the categories above of your Personal Information to third parties for a business purpose, as set forth in this Privacy Statement, and we have done so in the last 12 months.

We disclose your Personal Information for a business purpose to the categories of third parties set out above.

Your Rights and Choices

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 (as described below), we will disclose to you (unless an exception applies):

• 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 that Personal Information;
• the categories of third parties with whom we share that Personal Information;
• the specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you (also called a Personal Information portability request);
• if we disclosed your Personal Information for a business purpose, a list of disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the Personal Information categories that each category of recipient obtained;

We do not provide these Personal Information access and portability rights for B2B Personal Information to the extent such an exception remains in effect under the CCPA.

Deletion Request Rights

California residents have the right under the CCPA to request that we delete any of their Personal Information that we have collected and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm a verifiable consumer request (see below), we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) relevant Personal Information from our records.

We may deny California residents’ deletion request if doing so is permitted or required by applicable law, or if retaining the Personal Information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

• complete any transaction for which we collected the Personal Information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with the requesting individual, or otherwise perform our contract with a requesting individual;
• detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities;
• debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality;
• comply with a legal obligation; and
• make other internal and lawful uses of that Personal Information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

Verifiable Consumer Request

To exercise the access, portability, and deletion rights under the CCPA described above, please submit to us a verifiable consumer request to info@interim-cfos.com.

Only a California resident may make a verifiable consumer request related to their Personal Information. A California resident may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of their minor child.

A verifiable consumer request for Personal Information access or portability can only be made twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify the California resident about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative, and contain sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. We cannot respond to your request or provide 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 on our website. However, we do consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to Personal Information associated with that specific account. We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

We will endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by U.S. mail or email.

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 Personal Information portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the Personal 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.

Non-Discrimination

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

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

To the extent your information is subject to the CCPA, you may be asked to provide certain identifying information to verify your consumer request such as your name, social security number, date of birth, email address, and your mailing address so that you may exercise your rights under the CCPA. For any further inquiries regarding California privacy laws, you may send us an email at info@interim-cfos.com.

Children’s Privacy

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) protects the online privacy of children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect or solicit any information from anyone under the age of 13 through our services. In the event that we learn we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under the age 13, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from a child under 13, please contact us at info@interim-cfos.com.
