What options do you have when it comes to how your personal information is processed?

Consumers in California have some rights under the CCPA regarding the gathering, storing, and processing of their personal information. This section explains your CCPA rights and how to exercise them. Inform you of the specific data we gather about you and your rights to data portability.

The CCPA allows you the right to ask us to provide you with a list of the precise personal information we have about you that we have collected and processed over the last twelve (12) months. We will provide you with the following information after receiving and verifying your genuine consumer request:

  • The kind of personal data we have about you
  • The kind of sources we used to gather your personal information
  • Our company's purpose for collecting or otherwise sharing your personal data is commercial.
  • The kind of other parties with whom we have shared the private data we have gathered about you
  • The particular pieces of personal data we have about you (also referred to as a Data Portability Request)

If we sold your personal information for a particular business or commercial purpose. We will notify you:

-The types of personal data that each type of third party purchased

If we shared your personal information for a particular business, legal, or commercial purpose, we will disclose:

-The categories of personal information that each kind of third party obtained

For Business-to-Business (B2B) personal information that we have gathered for a particular business or commercial purpose, we do not grant the aforementioned access rights.

Under certain circumstances, we are not required to search for personal information. In such event, in answer to your request, we will describe the categories of data that might contain personal information but which we did not look for because they fall under those circumstances.

Request us to delete the personal information we collected about you

Subject to few limitations, the CCPA gives you the right to ask us to remove any personal information we have about you and kept. Unless an exception applies, we will remove your personal information from our records and instruct our service providers to do the same after receiving and verifying your verifiable consumer request. Based on our legal rights and obligations, we may deny your deletion request or partially fulfill to:
  • Execute a contract with you, complete the transaction for which we received your personal information, or perform the services you requested from us.
  • Identify cybersecurity events and data breaches, stop malicious, fraudulent, or unlawful activity, and bring criminal charges against those involved.
  • Utilize our right to free expression while ensuring that other customers have the same freedom to do so or any other legal right.
  • Adhere the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Criminal Code 1546 et seq.).
  • Use your personal data in a way that is compatible with the reason you gave it to us and based on our connection with you.
  • Adhere with laws and regulations

Regarding Business-to-Business (B2B) personal information that we gather in order to serve a specific business or commercial purpose, we do not grant the data deletion rights described above. Use your rights to data access, portability, and deletion.

If you desire to exercise the data access, portability, and deletion rights outlined above and granted to you under the CCPA, please send a verifiable consumer request via email to Insights@TechMediaInsider.com or by mail to: Burjuman Business Tower, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

A genuine consumer request for your personal information may only be made by you or a person who is legally permitted to act on your behalf. You may also submit a verifiable consumer request on behalf of a minor. Please see the section headed "Authorized Agent" for further details.

Within a twelve-month period, you are permitted to submit two verifiable consumer requests for data access or portability.

A verifiable consumer request must contain enough details to enable us to conclude that you are the person about whom we obtained personal information, or that the person making the request is authorized to act on your behalf. Depending on how sensitive the requested personal information is, different measures will be taken for verification. In order for us to comprehend, assess, appropriately reply to, and, if applicable, fulfill your request, the verifiable consumer request must also include a thorough description of your desire.

If we cannot confirm your identity or that you have the right to make the request and that the personal information is about you, we will not be able to respond to your request or give you any personal information.

To submit a verified consumer inquiry on our website, you are not required to register. We shall only verify the requestor's identity or right to make the request using the personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request. Please refer to the section of this Notice titled "Do not sell my personal information" to exercise your right to opt-out to the sale of your personal information.

Our response timing and format

Within forty-five (45) days of receiving a verifiable customer request, we shall do everything in our power to reply. We shall give you written notice of the rationale and the extended period if we decide that processing the request will take longer than anticipated.

We will respond to your verified consumer request in writing, either electronically or via postal mail, as you prefer.

Just the twelve (12) months prior to the receipt of your verifiable consumer request will be covered by any disclosures made to you. If we are unable to fulfill your request, we will explain why in our reply. In order to allow you to freely transmit the information to another entity, we shall comply with requests for data portability using formats that are simple to use.

We shall process and react to your verifiable consumer requests without charging you unless they are excessive, repetitive, or baseless. Before granting your request, we will inform you of the fee and explain our reasoning if we decide that it is justified.

Authorized Agent

Please send an authorization letter signed by the consumer to Insights@TechMediaInsider.com if you are making a verifiable consumer request under the CCPA on their behalf.

Do not sell my personal information

California citizens who are sixteen (16) years old or older may ask us not to sell their personal information. When we have knowledge that a California customer is under sixteen (16), we do not sell their personal information.

You can exercise your opt-out rights by submitting a request to Insights@TechMediaInsider.com. You are not required to create an account with us in order to exercise your right to object to the selling of your personal information. The details in your opt-out request will be used to carry out your request.

Non-Discrimination

We promise not to treat you unfairly if you exercise any of your CCPA rights, such as:
  • Deny you services
  • Bill you at various rates or charges for our services
  • Applying sanctions
  • Provide a different quality of service
  • Suggest that you may obtain a different price or quality for our services

We may, however, provide you with special financial incentives that are CCPA-authorized and reasonably related to the value of your personal information. These incentives may lead to different costs, rates, or levels of service. Any CCPA-allowed financial incentives will be specified in the written conditions describing the essential features of the program and will be subject to your opt-in consent before being provided.

California's "Shine the Light" law

Residents of California have the right to inquire about and get specific details regarding any personal information we release to third parties for direct marketing purposes under the "Shine the Light" statute, Civil Code Section 1798.83.
