4.4. Do Not Track Signals. Some browsers have a “do not track” feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked.

5.4. Supplemental Notice to Residents of California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Nevada, Texas, Oregon, and Other U.S. States in Which an Applicable State Privacy Law is in Effect.

5.4.1. Introduction. In this section, we provide information for residents of California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Nevada, Texas, Oregon and Other U.S. States in Which an applicable State Privacy Law is in Effect, as may be required under applicable privacy laws of such states from time to time (“State Privacy Laws”). For instance, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), as amended by the California Consumer Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), and the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (“VCDPA”), require that we provide their respective residents certain specific information about how we handle their personal information. Because certain State Privacy Laws require that we disclose specific information about how we handle certain personal information collected about residents of their states, the scope of this section may be different than the scope of the rest of our privacy policy.

Please note that for Adams Manufacturing employee and candidate information-related requests, our (or our Affiliates’) employee or candidate privacy notice (which is separately provided) governs such information.

5.4.2. Definitions of key terms.

Under State Privacy Laws, subject to certain exceptions, “personal information” is generally any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular resident or household in the applicable state.

A “Sale” of personal information under State Privacy Laws may occur any time a business sells or makes available any personal information to a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration.

A “Share” of personal information under the CPRA generally means disclosing, making available or communicating personal information by a business to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising, whether or not for monetary or other valuable consideration, including transactions between a business and a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising for the benefit of a business in which no money is exchanged.

“Cross-context behavioral advertising” or “targeted advertising” means the targeting of advertising to a consumer based on the consumer’s personal information obtained from the consumer’s activity across businesses, distinctly-branded websites, applications, or services, other than the business, distinctly-branded website, application, or service with which the consumer intentionally interacts.

“Sensitive information” under State Privacy Laws is generally defined as personal information that reveals sensitive information about a consumer, such as social security, driver’s license, state identification card or passport numbers, account log-in, financial account, debit card or credit card numbers in combination with any required security or access code, password or credentials allowing access to an account, precise geolocation, data revealing racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, physical or mental health diagnosis, sexual orientation, or citizen or immigrant status, as well as processing of genetic or biometric data for identification, and personal data collected from a known child.

5.4.3. Rights under applicable laws. Depending on where you reside, you may have additional legal rights with respect to your information under State Privacy Laws, beyond those described in Section 4 above. These rights are described below. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply in limited cases. Consistent with State Privacy Laws, this Supplemental Notice provides a way to exercise such rights for residents of the above states. This section does not apply to any matters exempted from State Privacy Laws during the period of exemption, nor to matters covered by an applicable law prior to the relevant portion of the applicable State Privacy Laws going into effect.

(b) Right of Deletion. You have the right to ask us to delete the personal information we have collected from you, subject to exceptions the law provides. For example, to the extent permitted by State Privacy Laws, we may deny a deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to: (i) complete the transaction for which we collected the Personal Information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you; (ii) detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities; (iii) debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality; (iv) protect our legal interests, to defend our rights in a case of potential, threatened, or actual litigation, and to enforce our rights; (v) comply with a legal obligation and/or (vi) fulfill internal and lawful uses that are compatible with the context in which you provided the information.

5.4.4. How to Exercise Your Rights. If you live in a relevant jurisdiction and would like to send us a request to exercise one of your above rights, you may do so emailing us at privacy@keter.com

You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf as permitted under law, though before we process that request, we will require that you provide the authorized agent written permission to do so and verify your identity directly with us.

To help protect your privacy and maintain security, we may take steps where required to verify your identity before granting you access to your personal information or complying with your request. We may not be able to respond to your request if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you.

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.

Similarly, we cannot guarantee the privacy of information you transmit over the Internet or that may be collected in transit by others, including contractors that provide services to us.

If you are a data subject with respect to whose data GDPR applies and we are a Controller of your data under GDPR, you have rights under GDPR and local laws, including rights to access data, rectify data, object to processing, and erase data. A data subject who wishes to modify, delete or retrieve their personal data may do so by contacting us via the email address in the Contact Us section below.

There may be exemptions to the rights for specific legal reasons which, if applicable, we will set out for you in our response to your request.
