Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, California residents also have the right to make more specific requests with regard to their Personal Data, as outlined in this section:

If your deletion request is subject to one of these exceptions, we may deny your deletion request.
• Do Not Sell My Personal Information – Under the CCPA, some transfers of Personal Data related to providing you with personalized ads may be considered a “sale,” even if no money is exchanged. As a result, we want to make sure you have choices under this broad definition of “sale” under the CCPA.

Please note that if you make a request to opt-out of sale, if you would like to opt-out of certain cookie-based tracking purposes you should also visit aboutads.info/choices, https://optout.privacyrights.info, and https://youradchoices.ca/.

Exercising Your CCPA Rights

To exercise the CCPA rights described above, you must send us a request that (1) provides sufficient information to allow us to verify that you are the person about whom we have collected Personal Data, and (2) describes your request in sufficient detail to allow us to understand, evaluate, and respond to it. We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity prior to responding to your requests in accordance with applicable California law. The verification steps will vary depending on the sensitivity of the personal information and whether you have an account with us. We may not respond to requests that do not meet these criteria. You do not need an account to submit a valid request.

California residents may submit a request using the following methods:

• Emailing us at: privacy@GarageCelebrations.com

We may deny certain requests, or fulfill a request only in part, based on our legal rights and obligations. Except as otherwise provided by applicable California law, note that for purposes of these requests under this Section, Personal Data does not include information about job applicants, employees and other of our personnel or information about employees and other representatives of third-party entities we may interact with.

We Will Not Discriminate Against You for Exercising Your Rights Under the CCPA

We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights under the CCPA. We will not deny you our goods or services, charge you different prices or rates, or provide you a lower quality of goods and services if you exercise your rights under the CCPA.

Notice of Financial Incentive

We may offer you financial incentives like discounts or other benefits for the collection, retention, and use of your email address if you sign up to receive our promotional emails. If you change your mind and would like to stop getting our promotional emails, you can unsubscribe any time by following the instructions in any promotional email you get from us, or by emailing us at support@GarageCelebrations.com.

We reserve the right not to change Personal Data if we disagree that it is incorrect, but we will append your requested alternative information. We may not provide access to Personal Data where permitted or required to deny access by the applicable law, for example, where the information requested would disclose the Personal Data, including opinions, of another individual or if it is subject to solicitor-client or litigation privilege. You have the right to refuse to provide or to withdraw your consent to processing of your Personal Data at any time with effect for future processing. This would not affect processing where the applicable law allows us to process Personal Data without consent.

10. Data Security and Retention

We use a variety of technical, administrative, and organizational security measures designed to maintain the safety of your Personal Data. Despite our efforts, no website, database or system is completely secure or “hacker proof.” You can help keep your data safe by taking reasonable steps to protect your Personal Data against unauthorized disclosure or misuse.

We retain Personal Data about you for as long as necessary to provide you with our Services and for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. In some cases we retain Personal Data for longer, if doing so is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes or collect fees owed, or is otherwise permitted or required by applicable law, rule or regulation. We may further retain information in an anonymous or aggregated form where that information would not identify you personally.

11. Personal Data of Children

We do not knowingly collect or solicit Personal Data from children under 18; if you are a child under 18, please do not attempt to register for or otherwise use the Services or send us any Personal Data. If you believe that a child under 18 may have provided us Personal Data, please contact us at support@GarageCelebrations.com.
