7. YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

These additional disclosures for California residents apply only to individuals who are California residents. Californian users of the Website have additional rights afforded to them under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).

7.1 Categories of Personal Information Collected by the Website and the Purposes for our Collection

For more details about the personal information that we have collected in the past year, please see Section 2 “Information We Collect About You and How We Collect It.” We collect the above information listed in Section 2 for the business purpose of giving you access to our services, including the Website and our applications. This information is a key part of how we carry out subscription services, account access, customer service, transactions, customer research and feedback programs, analytics, advertising and marketing services. For additional details on how we use the information, and who we share it with, please see Section 4 “Disclosure of Your Information” and Section 5 “Choices About How We Use And Disclose Your Information”.

Chario does not generally sell information as the term “sell” is traditionally understood. However, to the extent “sale” under the CCPA is interpreted to include advertising technology activities, we will comply with applicable laws as to such activity. Please see section 7.3 below.

7.2 Making A Request in Relations to Your Personal Information

The CCPA gives California consumers various rights with respect to the personal information we collect, including the right to (subject to certain limitations):

  • Request to access the personal information we have about you;

  • Request a “portable” copy of your personal information that you have submitted to us; and

  • Request that we delete all of your personal information

California users may make a request by using this interactive webform or by emailing us at privacy@thechario.com. We will authenticate your request using the email address associated with your account and if necessary, proof of residency.

7.3. Sale of Personal Information and Right to Opt-Out

Chario does not sell personal information of its users as the term “sell” is traditionally understood. However, “sell” under the CCPA is broadly defined. It includes the sharing of personal information with third parties in exchange for something of value, even if no money changes hands. For example, sharing an advertising or device identifier to a third party may be considered a “sale” under the CCPA.

During the previous twelve months, we may have “sold” the following categories of personal information about users to online advertising services:

  • Identifiers

  • Internet or other electronic network activity information

  • Inferences

To the extent Chario sells your personal information as the term “sell” is defined under the CCPA, you have the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information by us to third parties at any time. You may submit a request to opt-out by clicking the “CA Residents: Do Not Sell My Personal Information” link in the footer of our Websites or emailing us at privacy@thechario.com. We will authenticate your request using the email address associated with your account and if necessary, proof of residency. To submit a request as an authorized agent on behalf of a user, please email us at privacy@thechario.com and provide (A) evidence that the agent is a business entity registered with the California Secretary of State to conduct business in California and (B) permission to submit the access or deletion request on the user’s behalf, signed by the user.

We do not have actual knowledge that we sell personal information of minors under 16 years of age.

7.4 Right to Nondiscrimination

You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment by us for the exercise of any of your rights conferred by the CCPA.

8. DATA SECURITY

All information you provide to us is stored on secured databases and servers hosted by our contractually obligated third party service providers. We and our service providers have implemented and maintain commercially reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to ensure the security and confidentiality of information in our custody and control. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat these measure to access such information for improper purposes.

Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to our Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. We cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Website.
