9) California Residents’ Privacy Rights
If you are a resident of California, you have certain privacy rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). We honor those rights, as described below, and we are prohibited by law from discriminating against you for exercising any of those rights.
A) Right to Know
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what PII we have collected about you, why we collected it, and the categories of third parties (excluding service providers) with whom we have shared the PII during the past 12 months. (See below on “How to Submit a Request.”) You may request that we provide a description of the categories of PII we have collected (a “Categories Request”) or a request for access to the specific pieces of PII we have collected (a “Specific Pieces Request.”)
If you make a Categories Request, and you do not have any type of account with us, we will need you to provide us with at least two data elements specific to you, such as your cell phone number or driver’s license number (depending on the data elements we already maintain about you), so that we can verify your identity. After we confirm that your request is a verifiable request, we will disclose to you:
- The categories of PII we collected about you.
- The categories of sources for the PII we collected about you (e.g., social media websites, government records available to the public, etc.).
- Our business or commercial purpose for collecting that PII.
- The categories of third parties other than service providers (if any) with whom we shared the PII.
If you make a Specific Pieces Request, we need to be sure we have verified your identity with great certainty to safeguard the privacy of the PII we have collected. If you do not have any type of account with us, you will need to provide to us at least three data elements specific to you, together with a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the individual to whom the PII you are requesting pertains. After we confirm that your request is a verifiable consumer request, we will, consistent with the CCPA,disclose to you the specific pieces of PII we collected about you that you requested.
B) Right to Request Correction of Deletion
You have the right to request that we correct any inaccuracies in the PII that we maintain about you. You also have the right to request that we delete any of your PII that we maintain. However, we are not obligated to comply with your request for deletion if we have a legal basis to retain the PII. We will not correct or delete any PII pursuant to your request unless we are able to verify that you are the individual to whom that PII pertains.
If you make a request for us to correct or delete PII, we may need you to provide us with at least two data elements specific to you so that we can verify your identity. Once we receive and confirm that your request is a verifiable request, we will inform you whether we have corrected or deleted (and have directed our service providers to correct or delete) your PII, or if we are declining to grant your request to correct or delete due to a legal basis for us to do so.
C) How to Submit a Request
To request access to or correction or deletion of your PII as described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to usby calling us at our Privacy Rights toll-free number: (800) 553-5022.
You may make a request on your own behalf, or you may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. If you designate an agent to submit a request for you, please provide us with a signed declaration stating that your intent is to permit that individual to act on your behalf and include such individual’s full name, address, email address, and phone number. That way we will be sure you have fully authorized us to act in accordance with the requests of that individual.
As indicated above, in order to protect your PII from unauthorized disclosure or deletion at the request of someone other than you or your legal representative, Lil’ Drug Store requires identification verification before granting any request to provide copies of, know more about, or correct or delete your PII.We take special precautions to help ensure this. We cannot fulfill your request if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that the PII relates to you. We will only use PIIcollected in connection with a verifiable request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.
We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to forty-five (45)additional days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
