When you submit Personal Information in any manner, you are giving your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

If you choose to connect to our Website through a third-party social network such as Facebook (each, a “Social Network”), we may collect Personal Information from your profile on such Social Network, such as your name, username, and e-mail address, and we may publish your activity on our Website through such Social Network.

This Supplemental Privacy Policy supplements the information above and applies solely to California residents. It applies to Personal Information we collect on or through the Website and through other means (such as information collected offline, and over the telephone). It does not apply to information we collect from job applicants or retain about our employees. “Personal Information” has a broad definition under California law; specifics are in the table below.

Summary of Information

We Collect California law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 and related regulations (the “CCPA”), requires us to disclose information regarding the categories of Personal Information that we have collected about California consumers, the categories of sources from which the information was collected, the business or commercial purposes (as those terms are defined by applicable law) for which the information was collected, and the categories of parties with whom we share Personal Information.

a. California Notice of Collection

We or our Service Providers may collect the below categories of information for the following business or commercial purposes (as those terms are defined in the CCPA):

• providing the Services (e.g., account servicing and maintenance, customer service, analytics, and communication about the Services);
• our or our Service Provider’s operational purposes;
• auditing consumer interactions on our Website;
• detecting, protecting against, and prosecuting security incidents and fraudulent or illegal activity;
• bug detection and error reporting;
• customizing content that we or our Service Providers display on our Website;
• improving our existing products and services;
• other uses that advance our commercial or economic interests, such as communicating with you about relevant products and services available to you from third party partners; or
• other uses about which we notify you.

Examples of these types of uses are identified below and discussed more generally above. We may also use the below categories of Personal Information for compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and we may combine the information we collect (“aggregate”) or remove pieces of information (“de-identify”) to limit or prevent identification of any particular user or device.

b. Summary Categories of Personal Information, Sources, and Third Parties we share it with

The table below describes the collection, use, and sharing of Personal Information collected by us or our Service Providers within the last twelve (12) months. The first column lists the categories of Personal Information we or our Service Providers have collected. The second column lists the categories of sources of that information. The third column lists how that information is used. The fourth column lists the categories of third parties we share it with.  The fourth column lists the categories of third parties we share it with.

c. Rights for California Consumers

If you are a California resident, you may have certain rights. Effective as of January 1, 2020, you may request that we:

• Provide you the categories of Personal Information we have collected or disclosed about you in the last twelve months; the categories of sources of such information; the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling your Personal Information; and the categories of third parties with whom we shared Personal Information. 
• Provide access to and/or a copy of certain information we hold about you. 
• Delete certain information we have about you. 

We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to a request, which may include, at a minimum, depending on the sensitivity of the information you are requesting and the type of request you are making, verifying your name, email address, and physical address. You are also permitted to designate an authorized agent to submit certain requests on your behalf. In order for an authorized agent to be verified, you must provide the authorized agent with signed, written permission to make such requests or a power of attorney. We may also follow up with you to verify your identity before processing the authorized agent’s request.

d. Exercising Your California Rights

If you are a California resident and would like to exercise your three legal rights listed above ((1) right to know the categories of information, sources, purposes, and third parties we share with; (2) right to know the specific information we have about you; (3) right to delete that information) complete and submit this form. This form will be the most efficient way to exercise your rights. You may also call us at 1-866-477-0018.

You may have the right to receive information about the financial incentives that we offer to you (if any). You also have the right to not be discriminated against (as provided for in applicable law) for exercising certain of your rights. Certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. We need certain types of information so that we can provide our products and services to you. If you ask us to delete it, you may no longer be able to access or use our Website or purchase our products without providing the information again.

e. We Do Not Sell Your Info

Effective January 1, 2020, California residents may opt out of the “sale” of their Personal Information. Under the CCPA, “sale” is defined such that it may include allowing third parties to receive certain information, such as cookies, IP address, and/or browsing behavior, to deliver targeted advertising on the Website or other websites. We do not allow our service providers to use information gathered on our Website for such targeted advertising. Nor do we sell your Personal Information as the term “sale” is normally used.

Under certain circumstances, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 states that, upon receipt of a request by a California customer, a business may be required to provide detailed information regarding how that business has shared that customer’s Personal Information with third parties for direct marking purposes. However, the foregoing does not apply to businesses like ours that do not disclose Personal Information to third parties for direct marketing purposes without prior approval or give customers a free mechanism to opt out of having their Personal Information disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. California users may request further information about their rights under this law and our policy by emailing us at privacy@janusetcie.com, using the subject line “CA Request for Information,” and requesting further information.

g. California Do Not Track Disclosures
