For California Residents

This section of the Privacy Policy (“California Policy”) supplements and amends the information contained in our Privacy Policy with respect to California residents. This California Policy applies solely to individuals, visitors, users, and others that are natural persons and residents of the State of California (“consumers” or “you”). THIS ADDENDUM TO THE PRIVACY POLICY DOES NOT APPLY TO USERS THAT ARE NOT NATURAL PERSONS OR ARE NOT CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS.

The California Policy describes Gold Depot Store’s policies and practices regarding the Personal Information we collect, use, and disclose about you, including Personal Information you submit or we obtain when you access the Websites and other sources. This California Policy is adopted in part to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).

Any terms defined within the CCPA have the same meaning when utilized within this California Policy. The other provisions of the Privacy Policy continue to apply except as modified in this California Policy.

Note, however, that Personal Information as used in this California Policy does not include: Publicly available information from government records, De-identified or aggregated consumer information, Information excluded from the CCPA’s scope, such as personal information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FRCA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) or California Financial Information Privacy Act (FIPA), and the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act of 1994.

Consumer Rights

Pursuant to the CCPA, and as detailed below, consumers have various rights with respect to their Personal Information.

Request to Delete

You have the right to request that we delete your Personal Information from our records and direct any service providers to delete your Personal Information from their records, subject to certain exceptions. Upon receipt of a confirmed verifiable consumer request (see below), and as required by the CCPA, we will delete and direct any service providers to delete your personal information from our records, subject to the exceptions provided by law.

Gold Depot Store is not required to comply with your request to delete your Personal Information if it is necessary for us (or its service provider) to maintain your Personal Information in order to:

1. Complete the transaction for which the Personal Information was collected, provide a good or service requested by you, or reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform a contract between Gold Depot Store and you.

2. Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; or prosecute those responsible for that activity.

3. Debug to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.

4. Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise his or her right of free speech, or exercise another right provided for by law.

5. Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act pursuant to Chapter 3.6 (commencing with Section 1546) of Title 12 of Part 2 of the Penal Code.

6. 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 Gold Depot Store’s deletion of the information is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of such research, if you have provided informed consent.

7. To enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with your expectations based on your relationship with Gold Depot Store.

8. Comply with a legal obligation.

9. Otherwise use your Personal Information, internally, in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which you provided the Personal Information.

Upon receipt of a confirmed verifiable consumer request (see below), and as required by the CCPA, we will provide a response to such requests:

If you are under the age of 18, and a registered user of any Website where this California Policy is posted, California law permits you to request and obtain removal of content or information you have publicly posted. You may submit your request using the contact information in the Privacy Policy. Please be aware that such a request does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information you have posted and that there may be circumstances in which the law does not require or allow removal even if requested.

Request to Know

You have the right to request that we disclose the following to you as it relates to the 12-month period preceding its receipt of your verifiable consumer request:

1. The categories of Personal Information we have collected about you

2. The categories of sources from which the Personal Information was collected

3. The business or commercial purpose for collecting Personal Information

4. The categories of Personal Information we disclosed for a business purpose

5. The categories of third parties with whom we share Personal Information

6. The specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you

Upon receipt of a verifiable consumer request (see below), and as required by the CCPA, we will provide a response to such requests.

In addition to the CCPA, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits you to request information regarding the disclosure of your personal information by certain members of Gold Depot Store to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. Consumers that have provided their Personal Information to us may request information about our disclosures of certain categories of Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. Such request must be submitted to us by calling 1-800-733-8813 or by submitting a request to info@b00.54b.myftpupload.com. Please mention in your call or email that you are making a “California Shine the Light” inquiry. Within 45 days of receiving such a request, we will provide a list of the categories of such Personal Information disclosed to third parties for third-party direct marketing purposes during the immediately preceding calendar year, along with the names and addresses of these third parties. This request may be made no more than twice per calendar year. We reserve our right not to respond to requests submitted other than to the address specified in this paragraph.

Nondiscrimination

We will not discriminate against you in violation of the CCPA for exercising any of your CCPA rights. For example, we generally will not provide you a different level or quality of goods or services if you exercise your rights under the CCPA.

Submitting Consumer Rights Requests

To submit any of the Consumer Rights requests as outlined above, please contact us at 1-800-733-8813 or by submitting a request to info@b00.54b.myftpupload.com

We reserve the right to only respond to verifiable consumer requests. A verifiable consumer request is one made by any individual that is: a.) The consumer who is the subject of the request, b.) a consumer on behalf of the consumer’s minor child, or c.) by a natural person or person registered with the California Secretary of State authorized to act on behalf of a consumer

If we request, you must provide us with sufficient information to verify your identity and/or authority to act on behalf of the consumer. In general, we may ask you to provide identifying information that we already maintain about you, or we may use a third-party verification service. In either event, we will try to avoid asking you for sensitive Personal Information to verify your identity. We may not be able to 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. However, making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. Additionally, you will need to describe your request with sufficient detail to allow us to review, understand, assess, and respond. Personal Information collected from an individual to determine whether a request is a verifiable consumer request may not be used or disclosed for any other purpose except as required by law. We will endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) calendar days of receipt, but we may require an extension of up to forty-five (45) additional calendar days to respond and we will notify you of the need for the extension.

If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the receipt of your verifiable consumer request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. To the extent permitted by the CCPA, we will respond to no more than two requests during any 12-month period.

You may authorize a natural person, or a business, registered with the California Secretary of State to act on your behalf with respect to the right under this California Policy. When you submit a Request to Know or a Request to Delete, unless you have provided the authorized agent with a qualifying power of attorney, you must provide your authorized agent written permission (signed by You) to act on your behalf and verify the authorized agent’s identity with us. We reserve the right to deny requests from persons or businesses claiming to be authorized agents that do not submit sufficient proof of their authorization.
