Your Rights Regarding Your Information

Depending on where you live, and subject to our obligations under applicable laws, you may have certain rights and choices regarding your personal information. For example, in addition to choices described elsewhere in this policy, you may have some or all of the following rights and choices in general:

1. General Regional Rights

Access Rights: you may have the right to receive certain information, such as the following (these rights, and the applicable types of data and time periods, will vary depending on the laws applicable to the state or country in which you reside):

1. The categories of personal information we have collected or disclosed about you; the categories of sources of such information; the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling your personal information; and the categories of third parties with whom we shared personal information.
2. Access to and/or a copy of certain personal information we hold about you.
3. In some circumstances, you may have the right to obtain certain personal information in a portable format.

Erasure: you may have the right to request that we delete certain personal information we have about you. We may either decide to delete your personal information entirely, or we may anonymize or aggregate your personal information such that it no longer reasonably identifies you. Certain personal information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. For example, we need certain types of information so that we can provide our services to you, we may be required to retain certain information for legal purposes, and there may be other reasons we may need to keep certain personal information under various applicable laws.  In addition, if you ask us to delete your personal information, you may no longer be able to access or use some of our services.

 

Correction: you may have the right to request that we correct certain personal information we hold about you.

 

Limitation of Processing: Certain laws may allow you to object to or limit the manner in which we process some of your personal information, including the ways in which we use or share it. For example, you may have these rights if the processing was undertaken without your consent in connection with our legitimate business interests (although we may not be required to cease or limit processing in cases where our interests are balanced against your privacy interests).

 

Regulator Contact: You may have the right to contact or file a complaint with regulators or supervisory authorities about our processing of personal information.  To do so, please contact your local data protection or consumer protection authority.

 

If you believe that you have specific rights under your jurisdiction and you would like to exercise any of these rights, please submit a support request through our website or email us at privacy@Nucalgon.com. Other than marketing opt-out and do-not-sell requests, you will be required to verify your identity before we fulfill your request. In certain jurisdictions, you may be able to designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf, subject to certain requirements of your applicable law. We may require that you provide the email address we have on file for you (and verify that you can access that email account) as well as an address, phone number, or other data we have on file, in order to verify your identity.  If an agent is submitting the request on your behalf, we reserve the right to validate the agent’s authority to act on your behalf, and we may be required to take additional verification measures under applicable law.
