CALIFORNIA CONSUMER PRIVACY ACT RIGHTS

DISCLOSURE OF CONSUMER RIGHTS

The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA” or the “Act”) confers new privacy rights for California consumers and imposes corresponding obligations subject to the Act.  The rights conferred to consumers include  the right to know: (1) the categories of personal information a business covered under the Act has collected about that consumer; (2) the categories of sources from which the personal information is collected; (3) the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling the personal information; (4) the categories of third parties with whom the covered business shares personal information; (5) the specific pieces of personal information the covered business has collected about that consumer; and (6) with respect to businesses that sell the consumer's financial information, (a) the categories of personal information that the business sold about the consumer, (b) the categories of third parties to whom the personal information was sold, by category or categories of personal information for each category of third parties to whom the personal information was sold, and (c) the categories of personal information that the business disclosed about the consumer for a business purpose. The foregoing information must be provided to you with 45 days of receipt of a verifiable consumer request for said information.

Additional rights conferred to California consumers under the Act are: (1) the right to request that a covered business delete personal information collected from the consumer. Upon receipt of such a verifiable consumer request, the business must delete the consumer’s personal information from its records and direct any service providers to delete the consumer’s personal information from their records. California consumers further have the right to opt-out of having their personal information sold and, upon receipt of such a request, a covered business shall be prohibited from selling that consumer’s personal information. For consumers who exercise their right to opt-out of the sale of their personal information, the business must refrain from selling personal information collected by the business about the consumer and respect the consumer’s decision to opt-out for at least 12 months before requesting that the consumer authorize the sale of the consumer’s personal information. Lastly, consumers have the right to non-discrimination in service and price when exercising privacy rights.

RIGHT TO KNOW/REQUEST FOR ACCESS TO PERSONAL INFORMATION

As a consumer under the CCPA, you have the right to request that M1 Data reveal what personal information we collect, use, and disclose about you.  We call this your "right to know."

To take advantage of your right to know, you must submit a request by filling out a request on our online consumer portal found here.

You can also submit your request by mail or telephone.  Our telephone number is 1-877-776-1195.  Our mailing address is:

M1 Data LLC
1000 NW 65th Street, Suite 200
Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309

To respond to your right to know request, the CCPA permits M1 Data to verify your identity.  We will do this by matching the personal information you supply us to the personal information we maintain about you.  Given the sensitivity of some of the fraud detection and prevention data we have, we need to have a reasonably high degree of certainty you are the person you claim to be.  This will require that you satisfactorily answer a series of authentication questions based on data we have about you. This may also require that you submit certain personal information for us to compare and match to data we have about you.  If you call or mail us and request a consumer access report, an M1 Data associate will call you to administer an authentication test in which you will be required to answer certain questions to verify your identity.

M1 Data will delete the new information collected as part of the identity verification process as soon as practical after fulfilling your request.

If we are unable to satisfactorily verify your identity, we will be unable to fulfill your right to know request. In that case, please see the information below concerning M1 Data’s data collection, disclosure, maintenance, and sale practices.

DISCLOSURE AND SALE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

During the last year, M1 Data has disclosed personal information to service providers (e.g., cloud computing and storage vendors; security contractors, consultants and analysis providers), for M1 Data’s own operational business purposes.

M1 Data does not knowingly sell personal information about consumers younger than 18 for the purpose of marketing or advertising directly to the minor.  M1 Data does use personal information from minors younger than 18 to suppress matching records from marketing lists and to facilitate identity verification and fraud prevention.

RIGHT TO DELETE PERSONAL INFORMATION 

Pursuant to the CCPA, California consumers have a right to request deletion of personal information about them that M1 Data has collected or maintained.

To take advantage of your right to delete, you need to submit a request by filing out a request on our online consumer portal, which is found here.

You can also submit your request by mail or telephone.  Our telephone number is 1-877-776-1195.  Our mailing address is:

M1 Data LLC
1000 NW 65th Street, Suite 200
Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309

To respond to your right to delete request, the CCPA permits M1 Data to verify your identity.  We will do this by matching the personal information you supply us to the personal information we maintain about you.  Given the sensitivity of some of the fraud detection and prevention data we have, we need to have a reasonably high degree of certainty you are the person you claim to be.  This will require that you satisfactorily answer a series of authentication questions based on data we have about you. This may also require that you submit certain personal information for us to compare and match to data we have about you.  If you call or mail us and request deletion of personal information, an M1 Data associate will call you to administer an authentication test in which you will be required to answer certain questions to verify your identity.

M1 Data will delete the new information collected as part of the identity verification process as soon as practical after fulfilling your request.

If we are unable to satisfactorily verify your identity, we will either request additional information as permitted by the CCPA or provide a limited response (for example, by providing a report with categories of personal information rather than specific pieces of information).  Even assuming a verifiable request, M1 Data will retain certain personal information in our data products as necessary to comply with a legal obligation (including ensuring the deletion request is honored and CCPA record-keeping obligations), detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for the activity. In such cases, M1 Data will retain only the minimum amount of information that does not qualify for a statutory or regulatory exception, and only use the remaining data for the purposes provided by the statutory or regulatory exception.

RIGHT TO OPT OUT

California consumers have a right to opt out from M1 Data disclosing their personal information for marketing purposes by M1 Data.

RIGHT TO NON-DISCRIMINATION

The CCPA protects consumers who exercise their rights from discrimination.  M1 Data will not discriminate against consumers who request access to California personal information about them, request deletion, or request that M1 Data opt them out of future disclosures.

RIGHT TO USE AUTHORIZED AGENTS TO EXERCISE RIGHTS 

The CCPA allows California consumers to use authorized agents to submit requests to M1 Data on their behalf.  M1 Data requires that the authorized agent verify its identity and provide written authorization from the consumer to act on the consumer’s behalf.  If the agent is a business, it must also be registered with the secretary of state of the authorized agent’s state of incorporation and provide proof of such registration.

In the case of an authorized agent’s request for access to personal information, the resulting report will be delivered to the consumer directly.  Prior to any release of the report to the consumer, M1 Data will require the consumer to complete the identity verification process described above to minimize the risk of unauthorized access to personal information and potential resulting harm.
