After verifying your request, we will delete the Personal information we maintain about you from our records as of the date of your request and to the fullest extent practicable. If we have questions regarding your request, you must make an effort to respond to our inquiries. If we do not understand your request, we may not be able to comply. Please note that certain information may be excepted from your deletion request. For example, we may keep your information where necessary to detect and resolve issues related to system security and fraud detection.

We will also keep information needed to provide any Services you have purchased through the Site. For example, if you ask us to delete your Personal information, but have paid for a listing through a certain period, we will keep the information related to that listing until it expires in case you change your mind. Additionally, we cannot control whether other users of our Services have stored a copy of Personal information from the profile you created that would allow them to locate and contact you even after we have deleted the personal information from our records.

Right to Non-Discrimination for the Exercise of Rights: You have the right to be free from unlawful discrimination for exercising your rights under the CCPA. We will not discriminate against you based upon your exercising your rights with respect to your personal information.

Exercising Your Rights

If you are a California resident and wish to exercise any of these rights, please use the web form available at https://www.gigsalad.com/contact or call us at 866-788-4447.

When submitting your request, you must provide sufficient information to allow us to verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or their authorized agent. This information includes your first and last name, email address, and address (if applicable). We will only use personal information provided in your request to verify your identity or authority to make the request. If we cannot verify your identity from the information already maintained by us, we may request that you provide additional information for the purposes of verifying your identity and for security or fraud prevention purposes. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that the personal information relates to you.

When submitting your request, please also provide sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate and respond to the request.

Authorized Agents

You have the right to designate an authorized agent to exercise your rights under the CCPA. In order to do so, GigSalad must verify your identity, and your authorized agent must have written permission from you. We reserve the right to deny a request from an agent that does not submit proof that they are authorized to act on your behalf.

Response Timing

We will attempt to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and the necessary extension period in writing.

C. Additional Information for Residents of Other Covered Jurisdictions

Residents of certain jurisdictions (other than California, which is addressed above) may also have the right to receive disclosures regarding a business’ processing of “personal data”, as defined under Applicable Privacy Law. Residents of these jurisdictions may have unique rights with respect to our processing of such personal data.

To the extent you are a resident of a jurisdiction with such a privacy law, and we collect, use or disclose personal data subject to your jurisdiction’s privacy law, this section of our policy applies. For more information about the personal data we collect, use and disclose, please see the “Information We Collect About You and How We Collect It” and “Disclosure of Your Information” sections in this policy.

Consumer Rights

Under Applicable Privacy Law, you may have the following rights:

• Right to Access: To confirm whether or not we are processing your personal data and to access such personal data.
• Right of Portability: To obtain a copy of the personal data that you previously provided to us in a format of our choosing as long as it is accessible and machine readable.
• Right to Delete: To request that we delete certain personal data we have collected about you.
• Right to Correction: To correct inaccuracies in the personal data we have collected.
• Right to Opt-out of Sale: Where Applicable Privacy Laws define a “sale” as disclosing or making available personal data to a third party in exchange for money, we do not “sell” personal data; thus, this right is not available to consumers in certain jurisdictions at this time.
• Right to Opt-out of Targeted Advertising: To opt out of the processing of your personal data if it is used for targeted advertising. Applicable Privacy Laws may provide the right to opt out of the processing of personal data for decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning you. We will comply with those laws.

Exercising Your Rights

If you are a resident of a jurisdiction that has enacted an applicable privacy law and wish to exercise any of these rights, please use the web form available at https://www.gigsalad.com/contact or call us at 866-788-4447.

Verification Process

We may request that you provide additional information reasonably necessary to verify you and the legitimacy of your request. If you submit the request through an authorized agent, we may need to collect additional information to verify your identity before processing the request. If you are using an authorized agent to exercise your rights, we may deny a request if the authorized agent does not submit proof that they have been validly authorized to act on your behalf.

Response Timing

Upon receiving your request, we will attempt to respond within 45 days. The response period may be extended when reasonably necessary. We will inform you of any such extension within 45 days of receiving your request, together with the reason for the extension.

Right to Appeal

If we decline to take action regarding your request, we will inform you of our decision and reasoning behind it. If you wish to appeal our decision, please e-mail us at help@gigsalad.com. Within 60 days of receipt of an appeal, we will inform you in writing of any action taken or not taken in response to the appeal, including a written explanation of the reason(s) for the decision. If your appeal is denied, you may contact your state’s Attorney General to submit a complaint related to the denial.

9. Data Security

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential.

Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not, and cannot be, responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Services.

10. International Users

The Services are not directed at or intended for users outside of the U.S. and Canada. Please be advised that if you are located in the European Union or another region with laws related to data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, your personal information submitted through the Services and transferred to the U.S. may not have the same legal data protection as in your jurisdiction.
