California Consumer Privacy Act

The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) provides that California consumers may request information about our collection, use, disclosure and sale of their personal information over the past 12 months.  California consumers may also request that we delete your personal information.  To make these requests,  please email us at CAPrivacyRights@LightWorkers.com  To verify your identity, we will use the information you provide us with your request.  We may also request additional proof of identity (e.g., government identification) or information. We are only required under the CCPA to respond to two requests per consumer during each 12-month period.

In the past 12 months, the categories of personal information we may have collected from California consumers are:

  • identifiers such as name, address, IP address, email address, online identifier;
  • categories of “Personal Information” as described in California Civil Code Section 1798.80(e), or any information that identifies, relates to, describes, or is capable of being associated with, a particular individual, including, but not limited to, some of the identifiers previously listed;

California consumers have the right to opt-out of Company’s sale of their personal information.

See Targeted Advertisements above for how to opt-out of Targeted Advertisements and Information From Your Use of the Services for more information on how to adjust your browser settings and to opt-out of Google Analytics. Please note that when you opt-out of certain tracking technologies, the opt-out may function by placing a cookie on your browser.  Therefore, you will have to separately set these opt-outs on each browser you use. Additionally, you will need to reset these opt-outs after you delete cookies from your device.

California consumers may designate an authorized agent to make these requests on your behalf.  Agent requests will be subject to additional verification requirements, including proof of authorization, for example, we may verify with you that you have made this request via your agent.  If you exercise your rights under the CCPA, you will not receive discriminatory treatment from us. The rights set forth in this section are subject to certain exceptions under Applicable Law.
