California Customer Privacy Rights (CCPA)

California law requires certain businesses to disclose information regarding the rights of California residents pursuant to the CCPA.

A California resident may request that VIRO share the following information:

• The categories of personal information VIRO has collected about you in the preceding 12 months;
• The categories of sources from which the personal information was collected;
• The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling personal information;

• The categories of third parties with which VIRO shares personal information;
• The categories of personal information about you that VIRO sold to third parties in the preceding 12 months and the categories of third parties to which the personal information was sold;
• The categories of personal information about you that VIRO disclosed for a business purpose, as defined in the CCPA, in the preceding 12 months and the categories of third parties to which the personal information was disclosed;
• The specific pieces of personal information VIRO has collected about you.

A California resident may request the disclosure of the information listed above by calling 385.799.6966 or submitting a request at www.virolighting.com. Such a request may be referred to as a right to know request. Pursuant to California law, VIRO will verify the California resident’s identity before complying with any such request.

A California resident has the right to request that VIRO delete any personal information about the California resident that it has collected about the California resident, and that VIRO direct any service provider to delete the California resident’s personal information from its records. Such a request may be referred to as a request to delete. However, pursuant to the CCPA, your information may not be deleted under certain circumstances, including where maintenance of your personal information is necessary: to complete the transaction for which the personal information was collected, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, provide a good or service that you requested or that is reasonably anticipated within the context of your ongoing business relationship with VIRO, or otherwise perform a contract between VIRO and you; to detect security incidents, protect against or prosecute fraudulent or illegal activity; to enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with your expectations based on your relationship with VIRO; to comply with a legal obligation; or to otherwise use your information internally in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which you provided the information.

For more information about these and other situations in which we may not delete your information, please see California Civil Code Section 1798.105(d). A California resident may use an authorized agent to submit a right to know request or a request to delete. To use an authorized agent, the California resident must provide VIRO with written authorization. In addition, the California resident may be required to verify their own identity with VIRO. VIRO may deny a request from an agent that does not submit proof that they have been authorized by the California resident to act on their behalf. Such requirements, however, will not apply where a California resident has provided the authorized agent with power of attorney pursuant to Probate Code section 4000 to 4465.

A California resident has the right, at any time, to direct VIRO not to sell their personal information. This right may be referred to as the right to opt-out. You may opt out of the sale of your personal information by submitting a “Stop of Sale” request at www.virolighting.com. If VIRO has a good faith, reasonable, and documented belief that a request opt-out is fraudulent, it may deny the request. A California resident may use an authorized agent to submit a request to opt-out on the California resident’s behalf. The California resident must provide the authorized agent with written authorization do so. VIRO may deny a request from an authorized agent that does not submit proof that they have been authorized by the California resident to act on the California resident’s behalf.

In addition, VIRO does not and will not sell the personal information of a California resident it has actual knowledge is under the age of 16 without affirmative authorization (known as “opt-in”). VIRO will not discriminate against a California resident because the California resident exercised any of their rights under the CCPA, including, but not limited to, by:

• Denying goods or services to the California resident;
• Charging different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties;
• Providing a different level or quality of goods or services to the California resident;
• Suggesting that the California resident will receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

VIRO may offer financial incentives, including payments to California residents as compensation, for the collection of personal information, the sale of personal information, or the deletion of personal information. VIRO may also offer a different price, rate, level, or quality of goods or services to the California resident if that price or difference is directly related to the value provided to VIRO by that resident’s data. VIRO will notify California residents of such financial incentives. VIRO will not use financial incentive practices that are unjust, unreasonable, coercive, or usurious in nature.

In the preceding 12 months, VIRO has collected the following categories of personal information about California residents from the following sources and for the following purposes. The CCPA requires that VIRO reference specific categories of personal information enumerated in the CCPA. VIRO may collect only certain pieces of personal information described in a given category and may not collect certain pieces of personal information described in each category.
