2. You have a right to request the deletion of your personal information collected or maintained by AC Pro Contractor Store. Instructions for submitting a request to delete can be found below.
3. You have a right not to receive discriminatory treatment for your exercise of your rights under the CCPA. Prohibited discriminatory treatment would include but is not limited to denying goods or services to you; charging different prices or rates for goods or services, providing a different level or quality of goods or services to the consumer; suggesting that you will receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services. However, AC Pro Contractor Store is not prohibited from charging you a different price or rate, or from providing a different level or quality of goods or services to you, if that difference is reasonably related or directly related to the value provided to you by your personal information. AC Pro Contractor Store is also not prohibited from offering financial incentives for the collection, sale, or deletion of personal information.
Submitting requests for disclosure or requests to delete personal information
A verifiable consumer request, as defined in the CCPA and regulations adopted by the Attorney General, means a request that is made by you, by you on behalf of your minor child, or by a natural person or person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, and that AC Pro Contractor Store can reasonably verify to be the consumer about whom we have collected personal information. We are not obligated to provide information to you in response to a request for disclosure if we cannot verify that the consumer making the request is the consumer about whom we have collected information or is a person you authorized to act on your behalf.
You may only make a verifiable consumer request twice in a 12-month period. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. For requests for disclosure, if we cannot verify the requester’s identity from the information already maintained by us, we may request additional information from you, which shall be used only for the purposes of verifying the requester’s identity and for security or fraud prevention purposes. Making a verifiable consumer request does not cost
For requests to delete, if we cannot verify the requester’s identity, we may deny the request to delete, and will inform the requester that their identity cannot be verified, and that the request will be treated as a request to opt out of sale.
We will strive to respond to verifiable consumer requests within 45 days of receipt. If we require additional time (up to 90 days total), we will provide you with a notice and explanation for why additional time needed. If we do not take action in response to a request, we will inform you within 45 days of receipt (or within 90 days, per the above notice and explanation) of the reasons for not taking action and any rights you may have to appeal the decision to us.
If a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, we may either charge you a reasonable fee or refuse to act on the request and notify you of the reason for refusing the request.
In response to a verifiable consumer request for disclosure, our disclosure will cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of the request and will be made in writing and delivered through your account with us, if available, or by mail or electronically, at your option.
In response to a verifiable consumer request to delete, we will permanently and completely erase the personal information on our existing systems with the exception of archived or back-up systems; de-identifying the personal information; or aggregating the personal information. We will specify the manner in which we have deleted the personal information and will notify you that we will maintain a record of your request pursuant to the CCPA’s requirements.
