Rights and Choices

Consumers may be provided with certain rights regarding their Personal Information under their state privacy law. For requests received directly from a consumer, this section describes your rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your Personal Data over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your authenticated consumer request, you may request we disclose to you:

  • The categories of personal information we collected about you.
  • The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
  • The categories of third parties with whom we disclose that personal information.
  • The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).
Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights

You have the right to request that we delete your Personal Data that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your authenticated consumer request, we will delete your Personal Data from our records, unless an exception applies.

Deletion Request Rights

You have the right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete Personal Data that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your authenticated consumer request, we will provide a response that may include self-service tools that enable you to update your Personal Data, unless an exception applies.

Rectification Request Rights

You have the right to opt out of the following uses of your Personal Data: (a) targeted advertising; (b) the sale of Personal Data; and (c) profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

You will be able to opt-out of the sale and share of your personal information as well as opt-out of the sale and share of your cookies for marketing purposes, including targeted advertising by filling out this form.

However, note that if you provide your information to a third party for their own use, or if said third party otherwise collects your information as part of your interactions with them, then their use of your information will be subject to the limits of their privacy statement or notice, rather than ours.

Opt-out Rights

Request Submissions

To exercise consumer privacy rights under state law, please submit an authenticated consumer request by completing the online form.

Authenticated Requests

An authenticated request may be submitted by a consumer resident of a U.S. State with an applicable Data Privacy Law. These requests must:

  • Detail sufficient information that allows us to reasonably authenticate you are the person about whom we collected Personal Data; and
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Data if we cannot authenticate your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Data relates to you. We will only use personal information provided in an authenticated consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

Spheros shall confirm receipt of a consumer’s request within ten (10) days of receipt. We will respond to the request within forty-five (45) days of receipt of the request.

However, note that if you provide your information to a third party for their own use, or if said third party otherwise collects your information as part of your interactions with them, then their use of your information will be subject to the limits of their privacy statement or notice, rather than ours.

Timeframe for Responding to Requests and Format

After receiving a response to an authenticated request, consumers may make an appeal to us by contacting privacy@spheros.io with the subject “Appeal” and state the reasons for their appeal. Consumers must send an appeal request within twenty (20) days of receipt of Spheros’ response to their authenticated request.

Appeal Process

Unless permitted by law, we will not discriminate against you for exercising the rights by:

  • Denying goods or services to you;
  • Charging different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts, benefits, or other penalties;
  • Providing a different level or quality of goods or services; and
  • Suggesting a different price or quality of goods or services will apply if rights are exercised.

Please note that certain information is required to effectively use our Services. For example, if you exercise the right to delete your information, then your account will be deactivated, which prevents the use of our goods and services. This in no way prevents you from creating a new account in the future.

No Discrimination

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your authenticated consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.

Fee

We do not offer any financial incentives or price or service difference in an attempt to influence a consumer’s decision whether or not to exercise a right afforded to the consumer under their state consumer privacy laws.

No Financial Incentive
