5. Your California Consumer Rights.

WE DO NOT SELL OR SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION. If we ever decide to “sell” or “share” personal information, as those terms are defined under the CCPA (defined below), we will update you via this Notice to provide you with an opportunity to opt out of the selling or sharing of your personal information.

Consumer Rights. The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, the “CCPA”), provides California consumers with additional rights with respect to their personal information (also known as “personal data”), as those terms are defined under the CCPA.

Any personal information we collect is collected for the purposes outlined above.  As a California resident, you may exercise each of your rights as identified below, subject to our verification of your identity.

A. Access. You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information over the past twelve (12) months.  Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the receipt of your request.  The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.
B. Correction. You can correct what personal information we collect and maintain by contacting us to request that we correct or rectify any personal information that you have provided to us.
C. Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information. If we collect any sensitive personal information, you have the right to request that we limit the use of the sensitive personal information to that use which is necessary to perform the services that are reasonably expected.
D. Opt-out of Processing. You have the right to request that we do not sell your personal information, use your personal information for Targeted Advertising, or use your personal information for profiling.  Where applicable, we will ensure such changes are shared with trusted third parties.
E. Portability. Upon request and when possible, we can provide you with copies of your personal information.  When such a request cannot be honored, we will advise you accordingly.  You can then choose to exercise any other rights under this Notice.
F. Deletion. You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions.  Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your Personal Information from our records, unless an exception applies.  Where applicable, we will ensure such changes are shared with trusted third parties.
G. Non-Discrimination. FRI shall not discriminate against any individual that exercises their rights under the CCPA by denying our goods or services, charging different prices or rates to similarly situated consumers, providing a different level or quality of our goods or services, or taking any other adverse action.
H. Exercising your rights. If you are a California consumer who chooses to exercise the rights listed above, you can:

1. Submit a request via email at privacy@forestriverinc.com; or
2. Call us at 888-980-8589 to submit your request.

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request related to your personal information.  If an authorized agent makes a request on your behalf, we may require proof that you gave the agent permission to submit the request.

Responding to your Request. Upon your request, we will confirm receipt of your request by sending you an email confirming receipt. To help protect your privacy and maintain security, we may take steps to verify your identity before granting you access to the personal information. In some instances, such as a request to delete personal information, we may first separately confirm that you would like for us to in fact delete your personal information before acting on your request.

We will respond to your request within forty-five (45) days. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

In some cases, our ability to uphold these rights for you may depend upon our obligations to process personal information for security, safety, fraud prevention reasons, compliance with regulatory or legal requirements, or because processing is necessary to deliver the services you have requested. Where this is the case, we will inform you of specific details in response to your request.


6. Updates and Changes.  FRI will not collect additional categories of personal information or use personal information already collected for additional purposes without providing you with a notice of such changes.  Any changes to this Notice will be effective from the date they are communicated to you. If we make any material changes to this Notice, we will notify you by email before such changes are effective at the email address you have provided to us.

7.  Further Information.  If you have any questions about this Notice or FRI policies governing personal information, please contact FRI at privacy@forestriverinc.com.
