California Consumer Privacy Act Addendum

Effective Date / Last Updated: May 20, 2020

This California Consumer Privacy Act Addendum (“CCPA Addendum”) supplements the information contained in the Bryson Privacy Policy and applies solely to individual residents of the State of California.

This CCPA Addendum describes (i) how the Company collects, uses and shares personal information of California residents within the scope of the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (Cal. Civ. Code Sections 1798.100 to 1798.199) (the “CCPA”) and (ii) the rights of California residents with respect to requesting access to or deletion of personal information. For purposes of this CCPA Addendum, the term “personal information” has the meaning set forth in the CCPA. And, unless otherwise expressly stated herein, all terms in this CCPA Addendum have the same meaning as defined in the Privacy Policy or as otherwise defined in the CCPA.

We reserve the right to amend this CCPA Addendum at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes to this CCPA Addendum, we will post the updated CCPA Addendum on the Bryson Website (as an addendum thereto) and update the CCPA Addendum’s effective date. Your continued use of the Bryson Website and your sharing of personal information with the Company (both directly and indirectly) following the posting of changes to this CCPA Addendum constitutes your acceptance of such changes.

PRIVACY RIGHTS APPLICABLE TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

I. YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

A. The Right to Access Specific Information / Data Portability Rights (“Right to Know”)

As a California resident, you have the right to request that we disclose to you certain information about our collection of your personal information during the past twelve (12) months. Upon receipt and verification of your consumer request (see Section II, below), we will disclose to you:

  • The categories of personal information that we have collected about you
  • The categories of sources for the personal information that we have collected about you
  • The Company’s business or commercial purpose for collecting your personal information
  • The categories of personal information that we have disclosed to third parties for a business purpose, and the categories of recipients to whom this information was disclosed
  • The specific personal information that we have collected about you

B. The Right to Request Deletion

As a California resident, you also have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we have collected from you (subject to certain conditions and limitations under the law). Upon receipt and verification of your consumer request (see Section II, below), we will delete – and direct our service providers to delete – your personal information from our records (unless an exception applies).

II. EXERCISING YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

To exercise the rights identified in Section I, above, please submit a consumer request using one of the following methods:

Each consumer request must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom the Company has collected personal information. This information may include (i) your name, (ii) your address and (iii) other information depending upon the type of request and the sensitivity of the information. Moreover, each consumer request must clearly identify what right is being exercised (i.e., “Right to Know” or “Right to Delete”) so that we may properly understand, evaluate and respond to the request being made.

Please note that we cannot respond to your consumer request or provide you with personal information if we are unable to verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that the personal information relates to you. Also note that we will only use personal information provided in a consumer request to verify the requesting party’s identity or authority to make the request.

Pursuant to the CCPA, you may submit a consumer request for access and data portability not more than twice within a twelve (12) month period.

III. RESPONSE TIMING AND FORMAT

Following receipt of a verified consumer request, we will endeavor to provide a response thereto within forty-five (45) days. If we require more time (up to forty-five (45) additional days), we will notify you of the reason and extension period in writing.

We will deliver our written response by mail or email address submitted by you and through a secure link (at your preference). Please note that any disclosures we provide will cover only the twelve (12) month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a consumer request, if applicable.

For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another without hindrance.

We will not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

IV. NON-DISCRIMINATION

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your California privacy rights. Unless permitted by law, the Company will not (as a result of you exercising your rights under the CCPA):

  • Deny goods or services to you.
  • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
  • Provide a different level or quality of goods or services to you, if you exercise your California privacy rights.
  • Suggest that you will receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
