California Privacy Rights

California Law provides consumers with specific rights regarding their Personal Information. The following section describes your California Law rights and explains how to exercise those rights. Your California Law rights include the:

Right to Know or Access: Request that we disclose to you your Personal Information that we collected, used, disclosed, shared, and sold.

Right to Delete: Request that we delete any of your Personal Information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see “Identity Verification”), we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your Personal Information from our records, unless an exception applies.

Right to Correct Inaccurate Personal Information: Request that we correct any of your Personal Information that we maintain about you that is inaccurate.

Right to Opt Out of Sales or Sharing of Personal Information: We do not sell your Personal Information for monetary profit. However, we may engage in certain information disclosure activities that may be considered “sales” or “sharing” under California Law. If we sell your Personal Information to or share such information with third parties, you may have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of such information. To exercise the right to opt out, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us by emailing sinclairinfo@sinclair-intl.com link on the homepage.

If you have an opt-out preference signal enabled (e.g., the Global Privacy Control), you will automatically be opted out of the sale or sharing of your information, but we may ask you to confirm your preference if you have previously consented to the sale or sharing of your Personal Information. To download and use a browser supporting the opt-out preference signal, please visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org/orgs. If you choose to use the opt-out preference signal, you will need to enable it for each supported browser or browser extension you use.

Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for choosing to exercise any of your rights. If you exercise certain rights, understand that you may be unable to use or access certain features of the Website.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise your California privacy rights, please submit a request by contacting us via the methods in Section 10 “How to Contact Us.”

Identify Verification

We may require you to prove your identity to exercise certain rights. Depending on your request, we will ask for information such as your name, your telephone number, email address, and/or date of last communication with us. We may also ask you to provide a signed declaration confirming your identity. We will only use Personal Information provided in your consumer request to verify your identity or authority to make the request.

Only you, your parent, guardian (if you are under 13 years or age), conservator, a person to whom you have given power of attorney, or an authorized agent may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information. You may, however, make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child if necessary. Your verifiable consumer request must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative. We cannot respond to your request if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request. You may only make a verifiable consumer request for your right to access twice within a 12-month period.

Data Retention

We retain your Personal Information so long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed. When determining the retention period, we take into account criteria, such as the type of services requested by or provided to you, the nature and length of our relationship with you, use of our Website, and the impact on the Website functionality if we delete your Personal Information.

13. Additional Information for EEA Users

If you are in a country in the European Economic Area (EEA) or in the United Kingdom, you are entitled to the following explanation of the legal bases we rely on to process your Personal Information and a description of your privacy rights.

Legal Bases for Processing

The legal basis for collecting and using the Personal Information described above will depend on the Personal Information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.

Consent

We will process your Personal Information based on your consent such as when you create an account or when you ask us to send certain kinds of marketing communications. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Our Legitimate Interests

We will process your Personal Information if doing so is necessary for our legitimate interests and your rights as an individual do not override those legitimate interests. This includes, for example, when we process your Personal Information to carry out fraud prevention activities and activities to increase network and information security, to market directly to you, to expand our business activities, to improve our services and the content and functionality of our Website, and to exercise or defend legal claims (e.g., if you bring a claim against us or we bring a claim against you, we may process your Personal Information in relation to that claim).

To Perform a Contract

We will process your Personal Information to administer and fulfill contractual obligations between us and you.

To Enable Us to Comply with a Legal Obligation

We will process your Personal Information to comply with legal obligations to which we are subject. This may include any requirement to produce audited accounts and to comply with legal process.
If you have any questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis which we rely upon to collect and use your Personal Information for any specific processing activity, please contact us via the methods in Section 10 “How to Contact Us.”

Your Rights

Access Your Personal Information

You have the right to obtain from us confirmation as to whether or not we are processing Personal Information about you and, if so, the right to be provided with the information contained in this Notice. You also have the right to receive a copy of the Personal Information undergoing processing.

Rectify Your Personal Information

You have the right to ask us to rectify any inaccurate Personal Information about you and to have incomplete Personal Information completed.

Restrict Our Use of Your Personal Information

You have the right to ask us to place a restriction on our use of your Personal Information if one of the following applies to you:

  • You contest the accuracy of the information that we hold about you, while we verify its accuracy;
  • We have used your information unlawfully, but you request us to restrict its use instead of erasing it;
  • We no longer need the information for the purpose for which we collected it, but you need it to deal with a legal claim; or
  • You have objected to our using your information, while we check whether our legitimate grounds override your right to object

Object to Our Use of Your Personal Information

You have the right to object to our use of your Personal Information where our reason for using it is based on our legitimate interests or your consent (rather than when the reason for using it is to perform an obligation due to you under a contract with us).

Delete Your Personal Information

You can ask us to delete your Personal Information if:

  • We no longer need it for the purposes for which we collected it;
  • We have been using it with no valid legal basis;
  • We are obligated to erase it to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject;
  • We need your consent to use the information and you withdraw consent;
  • You object to our processing your Personal Information where our legal basis for doing so is our legitimate interests and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing.

However, this right is not absolute. Even if you make a request for deletion, we may need to retain certain information for legal or administrative purposes, such as record keeping, maintenance of opt-out requirements, defending or making legal claims, or detecting fraudulent activities. We will retain information in accordance with Section 6 “Data Retention.”

If you do exercise a valid right to have your Personal Information deleted, please keep in mind that deletion by third parties to whom the information has been provided might not be immediate and that the deleted information may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period (but will not be available to others).

Transfer Your Personal Information to Another Service Provider

You may request that we transfer the Personal Information you have provided us with to you or another service provider in electronic copy. This applies to Personal Information we are processing to service a contract with you and to Personal Information we are processing based on your consent.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us as described in Section 10 “How to Contact Us.”

Make a Complaint

If you have any concerns or complaints regarding our processing of your Personal Information, please contact us as described Section 10 “How to Contact Us” and we will do our best to answer any question and resolve any complaint to your satisfaction.

If, for whatever reason, you feel we do not meet the standards you expect of us, you also have the right to make a complaint to your local supervisory authority:
