California residents
The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the "CCPA") requires ICM to disclose certain additional information to users who are consumers residing in the state of California, United States of America, and, for such consumers, these provisions supersede any other possibly divergent or conflicting provisions contained in this Privacy Policy. This part of the document uses the term “personal information” as defined in the CCPA.
California residents have the right to request access to personal information (for free, twice per year), the right to request the deletion of personal information that the business holds on the consumer (unless the business needs to retain the personal information to provide goods or services to the consumer, detect or resolve security or functionality-related issues, comply with the law, safeguard the right to free speech, or carry out any action for internal purposes that the consumer might reasonably expect), and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising their rights under the CCPA.
You have the right to request ICM 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, we will disclose to you: (1) the categories of personal information we collected about you; (2) the categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you; (3) our business or commercial purpose for collecting that personal information; (4) the categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information; (5) the specific pieces of personal information we collected about you; and (6) if we sold or disclosed your personal information for a business purpose.
ICM will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. ICM will not deny you goods or services, charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, provide you with a different level or quality of goods or services, or suggest that you receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to ICM by either calling us at 1(877) 456-8588 or emailing us at [email protected]. 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. If you cannot personally submit a verifiable request, you can authorize a person registered with the California Secretary of State to act on your behalf. If you are an adult, you can make a verifiable request on behalf of a minor under your parental authority.
Brazilian residents
Under Article 18 of the LGPD, Brazilian residents have nine rights over their personal data (as defined in the LGPD) including: (1) the right to confirmation of the existence of the processing of data; (2) the right to access the data; (3) the right to correct incomplete, inaccurate or out-of-date data; (4) the right to anonymize, block, or delete unnecessary or excessive data or data that is not being processed in compliance with the LGPD; (5) the right to the portability of data to another service or product provider, by means of an express request; (6) the right to delete personal data processed with the consent of the data subject; (7) the right to information about public and private entities with which ICM has shared data; (8) the right to information about the possibility of denying consent and the consequences of such denial; and (9) the right to revoke consent.
