To the extent any linked websites you visit are not owned or controlled by us, we are not responsible for the websites’ content, any use of the websites, or the privacy or security practices of the websites.

How We Protect Personal Information

We have implemented commercially reasonable measures designed to secure your Personal Information from our accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration and disclosure. Please note that no transmission of information via the Internet can be entirely secure, therefore we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information. Any transmission of Personal Information to the Online Services is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Online Services.

Children's Privacy

We encourage protection of children’s information on the Internet. The Online Services are not intended for and may not be used by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13 and we do not target the Online Services to children under the age of 13.

Additional Privacy Rights Under the CCPA

The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100 to 1798.199), as amended (“CCPA”), requires that we describe how we collect, process, and share your Personal Information regarding California residents (as defined under California law).

 

During the past twelve (12) months, we have collected, used, and shared the following categories of Personal Information:

If you are a resident of California, 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 12 months (“Right to Know”). Once we receive and confirm your verifiable request, we will disclose to you:

• the categories of Personal Information we collected about you,
• the categories of sources for the Personal Information we collected about you,
• our commercial purpose for collecting or selling that Personal Information,
• the categories of third parties with whom we share that Personal Information,
• the specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you, and
• if we sold or disclosed your Personal Information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing: (i) sales, identifying the Personal Information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and (ii) disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the Personal Information categories that each category of recipient obtained.

All users of our Online Services have the right to request that we delete any of your Personal Information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions available to us through CCPA (“Right to Delete”). Once we receive and confirm your verifiable request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your Personal Information from our records, unless an exception available to us through CCPA applies. If so, we will notify you in our response than an exception applies and identify that exception.

 

To exercise the Right to Know or Right to Delete, please submit a request to us by submitting a request in info@ConnectRaise.com. To verify your identity we may ask you for additional information, which may include asking you to confirm other Personal Information you have provided to us. We reserve the right to deny any requests for which identity cannot be verified. If you have authorized another person to make a request on your behalf, that person must provide to us your written authorization allowing them to make such a request on your behalf. We reserve the right to deny any request by an authorized agent if we are not reasonably able to confirm proper authorization.

 

If a business sells consumer Personal Information, the CCPA grants residents of California a right to tell a business not to sell (i.e., opt out of the sale of) their Personal Information. We do not sell your Personal Information.

 

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under California law. Unless permitted by California law, we will not:

• deny you services,
• charge you a different price or rates for services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties,
• provide you a different level or quality of services, or
• suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for services or a different level or quality of services.

Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1798.83, California residents who provide us with Personal Information in using the Online Services are entitled to request and obtain from us, once per calendar year, information about the Personal Information we shared, if any, with other businesses for their own direct marketing uses.

 

If you are a California resident and you have questions about our practices with respect to sharing information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes and your ability to exercise choice, please send your request to the following email address: INFO@ShopRaise.com.

 

You must put the statement “California Shine the Light” in the subject field of your email. You must include your name, street address, city, state, and ZIP code.
