HOW TO MAKE DATA REQUESTS - INFORMATION FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
MS is required under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) to provide certain information to California residents about how we collect, use, and share their Personal Information, and about the rights and choices California residents may have concerning their Personal Information. For purposes of this section, “Personal Information” has the meaning provided in the CCPA.
Rights Afforded to California Residents
California consumers have the following rights under the CCPA with respect to their Personal Information. Please understand, however, that these rights are not absolute, and MS may decline requests as permitted under applicable law.
● Right to Request Access. You may submit a request that MS disclose the categories and specific pieces of Personal Information that we have collected, used, or disclosed about you in the past twelve (12) months.
Without having to submit a request to access your Personal Information, you have the right to know what categories of Personal Information we have collected from consumers generally within the past twelve (12) months, where we got it, why we collected it, and with whom we shared it.
Please note that simply because MS has provided the categories of Personal Information it may collect pursuant to California law does not mean MS necessarily collected all of the specific pieces of Personal Information listed for any given person. Also, please note where Personal Information was disclosed within the past twelve (12) months as indicated in the last column of the table, it may have been disclosed only to service providers and/or third parties for business or commercial purposes so we can provide our Site or Services to you.
We have not “sold” Personal Information within the past twelve (12) months, as that term is defined by the CCPA.
● Right to Request Deletion. You may submit a request that MS delete the Personal Information that we have about you.
● Right to Opt out of Sale of Personal Information. You have the right to opt out of the sale of your Personal Information.MS does not sell your Personal Information.
● Right Not to Receive Discriminatory Treatment. You have the right to exercise the privacy rights conferred by the CCPA without discriminatory treatment.
You may submit a request to access or delete your Personal Information by emailing us at hello@medalistskin.com.
MS is legally obligated to verify your identity when you submit a request. We may request additional information from you to verify your identity. If you submit a request to delete your Personal Information, you will also be required to confirm the deletion request by email.
You may designate an authorized agent to make a request under the CCPA on your behalf. Your authorized agent must submit proof that you have provided them with power of attorney pursuant to California Probate Code Sections 4000 to 4465.MS may deny a request from a purported authorized agent who does not provide proof of authorization to act on your behalf.
Please understand that we are not obligated to provide you with a copy of your Personal Information more than twice in a twelve (12) month period pursuant to the CCPA.
To make a data request, you can elect to contact MS through one of the following methods:
● Email the MS Privacy Team at hello@medalistskin.com
What happens after I submit a request?
Once we receive your request, we must first verify your identity. We will take commercially reasonable steps to verify your identity, including asking you to provide us with information to confirm your identity using the information we have on file. If you wish to designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf, please indicate that when submitting your request.
We will make good faith efforts to respond to your request. There may be circumstances under the CCPA in which we cannot, or need not, respond to your request. For example, we are not required to delete Personal Information needed to complete the transaction for which the Personal Information was collected, to detect fraudulent or illegal activity, or for legal compliance purposes. We are also not required to provide access or deletion where your identity could not be verified, where you have exceeded the number of requests you can make within a twelve (12) month period, or where the information contains legally privileged material or would violate the rights of others. If we determine that your request should be restricted in any particular instance, we will provide you with an explanation of why that determination has been made and a contact point for any further inquiries.
Any requests that can be processed by us will be done so in no more than forty-five (45) days from the date we receive your request, unless we notify you that an extension is required. In case of an extended completion period, we will process your request in no more than ninety (90) days from the date of your original request. Consumers are limited to two requests to know/access their Personal Information within a twelve (12) month period.
INFORMATION FOR NEVADA RESIDENTS
Nevada law (SB 220) requires website operators to provide a way for Nevada consumers to opt out of the sale of certain information that the website operator may collect about them. MS does not sell your personal information to third parties as defined in Nevada law, and will not do so in the future without providing you with notice and an opportunity to opt-out of such sale as required by law. If you have any questions regarding our data privacy practices or our compliance with Nevada data privacy law, please contact us at hello@medalistskin.com.
Retention of Data
MS retains Personal Information where we have an ongoing legitimate business or legal need to do so. Our retention periods will vary depending on the type of data involved, but, generally, MS refer to these criteria in order to determine retention period:
● Whether we have a legal or contractual need to retain the data;
● Whether the data is necessary to provide our Products, Services, or Site; and
● Whether our Customers would reasonably expect that we would retain the data until they remove it or until their accounts are closed or terminated.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your Personal Information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your Personal Information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your Personal Information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
Children’s Privacy
MS’s Site is not intended for general audiences and is not directed to children under 17. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under 17 through the Site. If you become aware that a child has provided us with Personal Information without parental consent, please contact us at hello@medalistskin.com If we become aware that a child under 17 has provided us with Personal Information without parental consent, MS takes steps to remove such information.
SECURITY
No security is foolproof, and the Internet is an insecure medium. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we work hard to protect MS and you from unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or destruction of Personal Information that we collect and store.
MS addresses its guarantees as to privacy and security in the various agreements and data processing addendum that it enters into contractually with its Customers.
