Additional Information for Individuals Whose Personal Information is Subject to CCPA and CRPA

California residents have certain rights with respect to their personal information pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020, collectively, the “CCPA”), as applicable and as further described in this section. If you are a California resident and do not agree with our use of your personal information as set forth in this Policy, you should not submit your personal information to Lundquist. This section supplements this Policy and applies solely to California residents.

You may have certain rights regarding our use and disclosure of your personal information under the CCPA, as described below. These rights are not absolute and each is subject to certain exceptions or qualifications:

  • Access: You may have the right to request, twice in a 12-month period, that we disclose to you the personal information we have collected, used, disclosed and sold about you during the past 12 months, the categories of third parties with which such information has been disclosed or sold, the sources from which such information was collected, and the business purpose for such collection, use, disclosure or sales.
  • Correction and Deletion: You may have the right to request that we correct or delete certain personal information we have collected about you.
  • Opt-Out of Sale or Certain Sharing: The CCPA gives California residents the right to opt-out of the sale of their personal information, as well as the sharing of their personal information for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising. However, Lundquist does not sell personal information or share it for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising.

To submit an access or deletion request, please contact us using the details set forth at the end of this Policy. To help protect your privacy and maintain the security of your personal information, we will take steps to verify your identity before granting you access to your personal information or complying with your request. If you have an email address or other direct contact information on file with us, and request access to or deletion of your personal information, we may require you to provide your name, email address and company name, if previously provided.

You have the right to appoint an authorized agent to exercise these rights on your behalf. If you designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf (1) we may require you to provide the authorized agent written permission to do so and (2) for access and deletion requests, we may require you to verify your own identity directly (as described above).

If you choose to exercise rights you may have under the CCPA, you have the right to not receive discriminatory treatment from us for doing so. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may charge a reasonable fee to comply with your request. This notice may be made available in alternative formats upon request. Please contact us using the details set forth at the end of this Policy to request this notice in an alternative format or with any other questions or concerns about our privacy policies and practices.
