In compliance with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 and its implementing regulations (the “CCPA”). This Section describes (1) the categories of Personal Information, collected and disclosed by us, subject to CCPA, (2) your privacy rights under CCPA, and (3) how to exercise your rights.  The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their personal information and this section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

When we use the term “Personal Information” in the context of the CCPA, we mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular California consumer or household.

If you would like to receive a copy of this Section in an alternate format (e.g., printable) or language, please contact us using the information provided in Section 13.

A. Categories of Personal Information Collected, Used, and Shared

We may have collected and shared the following categories of Personal Information within the past 12 months, if indicated as “YES” in the table below:

We may share each of these categories of Personal Information with our service providers to the extent necessary for them to facilitate our business purposes.  We also may share this Personal Information for the purposes set forth in Section 4 above.

Personal Information does not include:

• Publicly available information from government records
• Deidentified or aggregated consumer information
• Information excluded from the CCPA’s scope, like:
  • health or medical information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA) or clinical trial data;
  • 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.

We obtain the categories of personal information listed above from the following categories of sources:

• Directly from you. For example, from forms you complete, applications you submit and documentation and information you provide.
• Indirectly from you. For example, from observing your actions on our Platforms.
• From third parties, for example, our business partners.

B. Your California Privacy Rights

If you are a resident of California, you may have the following rights:

Exercising Access, Data Portability and Deletion Rights.  If you would like to exercise your rights listed above, please send (or have your authorized agent send) an email to info@accessbio.net or call us at: 732-873-4040. Please note: you will not be discriminated against in any way by virtue of your exercise of the rights listed below, which means we will not deny goods or services to you, provide a different prices or rates for goods or services to you, or provide a different level or quality of goods or services to you.  However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.

We must verify your identity before fulfilling your requests.  If we cannot initially verify your identity, we may request additional information to complete the verification process. Any Personal Information you disclose to us for purposes of verifying your identity will solely be used for the purpose of verification.  If you are an authorized agent making a request on behalf of a California consumer, we will also need to verify your identity, which may require proof of your written authorization or evidence of a power of attorney.   

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must: (a) Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative; and (b) describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

Response Timing and Format. We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.  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 verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.  We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

We may deny certain requests, or only fulfill some in part, as permitted or required by law.  For example, if you request to delete Personal Information, we may retain Personal Information that we need to retain for legal purposes (e.g., tax accounting).  You have a right not to receive discriminatory treatment by any business when you exercise your California privacy rights.

The CCPA gives California Consumers the right to lodge a complaint with the California Attorney General’s office. The Attorney General’s office may be contacted at https://oag.ca.gov/contact/consumer-complaint-against-business-or-company or by telephone at: (916) 210-6276.

Other California Privacy Rights

California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code § 1798.83) permits users of our Platforms that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send an email to the address identified below.

12. Changes to this Privacy Policy 

Please note that we may modify or update this Privacy Policy from time to time, so please review it periodically. The date the privacy policy was last revised is identified at the bottom of the page.  You are responsible for reviewing this Policy for changes, as your use of the Platforms means that you accept the revised Privacy Policy.  We may provide you with an updated Privacy Policy if material changes are made. Unless otherwise indicated, any changes to this Privacy Policy will apply immediately upon posting to the Platforms.
