For additional details, please refer to Section 2 (What Personal Data We May Collect) of FanFix Privacy Policy.
(ii) Categories of Sources. We collect Personal Information directly and indirectly from various categories of sources set forth in Section 2.3 (Sources of Personal Data We May Collect) of FanFix Privacy Policy.
(ii) Purposes for Which We Use Your Personal Information.
We use the categories of Personal Information listed above to provide our Services to you, to operate, manage, and maintain our business as disclosed in Section 3 (How We May Use Your Personal Data) of FanFix Privacy Policy, and to accomplish other business purposes, which fall under one or more of the following categories below:
(iv). Categories of Personal Information We Disclosed for a Business Purpose
In the preceding 12 months, we have disclosed the following categories of Personal Information for a business purpose:
As further described in Section 4 (How We May Share or Disclose Personal Data) of FanFix Privacy Policy, the categories of third parties to whom we may disclose Personal Information for a business purpose, including providing you with the opportunities to interact with other Users, share your interest, hobbies, and Content, which are reasons that bring us together as a community on FanFix.
(iv). Categories of Personal Information Sold or Shared to Third Parties
California Privacy Laws define “sale” as disclosing or making available Personal Information to a third-party in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration. The term “sharing” includes disclosing or making available Personal Information to a third-party for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising, and constitute a form of “sale”.
“Sell” in this case does not mean providing data in exchange for money – we don’t do that. “Selling” or “sharing” instead means the disclosure or release of Personal Information, including technical device data that does not identify you directly but can be attributed back to identify you, when a third party might use that data for its own purposes, such as for personalized advertising or cross-context behavioral advertising, whether or not for monetary or other valuable consideration.
While we do not “sell” Personal Information for monetary consideration, certain information exchange with our advertising and analytics partners regarding certain identifiers described under the categories of“Internet and Other Similar Activity” and “Inferences drawn from other PI” in Data Category Table above, may constitute a “sale” or “sharing” of Personal Information as broadly defined under California Privacy Laws. Such identifiers are classified as “Personal Information” under the California Privacy Laws and are collected automatically as a result of your interactions with FanFix.
To the extent such exchanges occur, a California Consumer may exercise his or her rights under the Right to Opt-Out described in Section (B)(iii) of this Notice to California Residents.
(iv). Data Retention
We keep your Personal Information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and processed, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, accounting or reporting requirements. For additional details, please refer to Section 7 (Data Retention) of FanFix Privacy Policy.
B. Your California Privacy Rights
This section describes California Consumers’ rights under California Privacy Laws and explains how to exercise those rights, subject to certain exceptions:
(i). Right to Know or Portability. As a resident of the State of California, you have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you regarding our collection and use of your California Personal Information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:
In addition, to the extent it is determined that our information exchanges constitute a sale or sharing of Personal Information under the California Privacy Laws, a Consumer shall have the right to request the business to identify, during the past 12 months:
(ii). Right to Deletion. Subject to several exceptions, 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 and as permitted under the California Privacy Laws.
(iii). Right to Opt-out of “Sale” and Certain “Sharing” Practices. A California Consumer has the right to opt-out of the “sale” and “sharing” of your Personal Information with third parties, as those terms are defined under California Privacy Laws. “Sell” in this case does not mean providing data in exchange for money – we don’t do that (and we do not have actual knowledge that we sell Personal Information of minors under 18 years of age). You may opt out by using the “Manage Cookie Settings” or by broadcasting an opt-out preference signal.
(iv). Right to Correct. Subject to certain restrictions, you have the right to request that we correct inaccurate Personal Information that we maintain about you. Our goal is to keep your Personal Information accurate, current, and complete. If you believe your Personal Information is not accurate (other than the one listed on your account, which you may modify at any time), you may submit a request by using the “How to Exercise Your California Privacy Rights” section of this Notice to California Residents.
(v). Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information. In certain circumstances, a California Consumer has the right to limit the use and disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information. Our use of your Sensitive Personal Information is reasonably necessary to provide Content, products, or other services reasonably expected by an average Consumer and not for those purposes for which you may exercise a right to limit the use or disclosure under California Privacy Laws. While this Consumer right is not applicable to how we collect or use your Sensitive Personal Information, we provide this information as this is a core part of your rights as a California Consumer.
(vi). Right to Non-Discrimination. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under California Privacy Laws. Unless permitted by California Privacy Laws, we will not:
(vii). Other California Privacy Rights. California's “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits California Consumers who are Users of FanFix to request certain information regarding our disclosure of Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not disclose your Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes if you have exercised an option that prevents that Personal Information from being disclosed to third parties for those purposes.
C. How to Exercise Your California Privacy Rights
(i). Methods to Submit California Consumer Requests
If you are a California Consumer and would like to exercise your rights under California Privacy Laws described above, you may do so via any of the methods described below:
(ii). Authorized Agent. You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. Authorized agents will be required to provide proof of their authorization. Individuals operating as an authorized agent on behalf of a California Consumer must provide a written authorization document, signed by the California Consumer, containing the California Consumer’s name, address, telephone number, and valid email address, and expressly authorizing the individual to act on behalf of the California Consumer. We may also require that you directly verify your identity and the authority of your authorized agent. We reserve the right to reject authorized agents who have not fulfilled the above requirements or automated requests under California Privacy Law where we have reason to believe the security of the requestor’s Personal Information may be at risk.
(iii). Verification Procedures. We are required by California Privacy Laws to verify the identity of individuals who submit a Consumer request. The verifiable Consumer request must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify your identity and describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. The information we may need in order to verify your identity differs depending upon the request made and our relationship with you and might include (as applicable) your name, the email address you regularly use to interact with us, your telephone number, your date of birth, etc. We will take steps to verify your request by matching the information provided by you with the information we have in our records. In some cases, we may request additional information to verify your identity, or where necessary to process your request. We can only respond to your request or provide you with relevant information if we are able to verify your identity or authority to make the request. If we are unable to verify your identity after a good faith attempt, we may deny the request and, if so, will explain the basis for the denial.
(v). Response Timing: Upon receiving a Request to Know, Request to Delete, or Request to Correct, we will confirm receipt of the request within 10 business days and respond to the request within 45 calendar days from the date we receive your request. If necessary, we may take an additional 45 calendar days to respond to your request. If this extension is needed, we will notify you of the extension and explain the reasons that responding to your request will take more than 45 days. We are only required to respond to Requests to Know and Data Portability Rights twice in a 12-month period.
