We will not collect additional categories of personal information or use the personal information we collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes without providing you notice. 
3. Sharing Personal Information. We may share your personal information by disclosing it to a third party for a business purpose. We only make these business purpose disclosures under written contracts that describe the purposes, require the recipient to keep the personal information confidential, and prohibit using the disclosed information for any purpose except performing the contract. In the preceding twelve (12) months, Company has not disclosed personal information for a business purpose. We also do not sell personal information. 
4. Your Rights and Choices. The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights. 
1. Right to Know and Data Portability. You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past twelve (12) months (the “right to know”). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity, we will disclose to you: (i) the categories of personal information we collected about you; (ii) the categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you; (iii) our business or commercial purposes for collecting or selling that personal information; (iv) the categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information; (v) if we sold or disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing (1) sales, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient purchased, and (2) disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained; and (vi) the specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request). 
2. Right to Delete. You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions (the “right to delete”). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity, we will review your request to see if an exception allowing us to retain the information applies. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to: (i) complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, or otherwise perform our contract with you; (ii) detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities; (iii) debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality; (iv) exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech, or exercise another right provided for by law; (v) comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code Section 1546 et. seq.); (vi) engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if your previously provided informed consent; (vii) enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us; (viii) comply with a legal obligation; and (ix) make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it. We will delete or deidentify personal information not subject to one of these exceptions from our records and will direct our service providers to take similar action. We do not provide these deletion rights for business-to-business personal information. 
3. Exercising Your Rights. To exercise your rights to know or delete described above, please submit a request by either emailing us as support@lineagewatchco.com. Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request to know or delete related to your personal information. You may only submit a request to know twice within any twelve (12) month period. Your request to know or delete must: (i) provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative; and (ii) described your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. 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. We will only use personal information provided in the request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make it. 
4. Response Timing and Format. We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) business days. If you do not receive confirmation within the ten (10) day timeframe, please contact us via mail at 845 15th Street, Suite 103, San Diego, CA 92101, Attn: Legal Department. We endeavor to substantively respond to verifiable consumer requests within forty-five days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another forty-five (45) days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the twelve (12) month period preceding our receipt of your request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a 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 entity without hindrance.  We do 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 a request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we may that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request. 
5. Non-Discrimination. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not: (i) deny you goods or services; (ii) charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties; (iii) provide you with a different level or quality of goods or services; or (iv) suggest you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services. 
5.  Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights.  If you are age 16 or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell your information at any time (the “right to opt-out”). We do not sell the personal information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years old unless we receive affirmative authorization (the “right to opt-in”) from either the consumer who is between 13 and 15 years old, or the parent or guardian of a consumer.
