The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you the following:
  • The categories of personal information we collected about you.
  • The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you. The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
  • The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
  • The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).
  • If we disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, a list identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.

Deletion Request Rights

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers/contractors to delete) your personal information from our records unless an exception applies. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:
1. Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide goods or services that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform services for you.
2. Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.

Correction Requests

If you think some of the personal information we have about you is incorrect, you have the right to request that we correct the personal information in compliance with the CCPA.

Your Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing Your Information

We do not sell or disclose personal information with third parties that would be considered a “sale” under the CCPA. Since we do share your personal information for targeted advertising or cross-context behavioral advertising, you are opted-out of “sale” or “sharing” (as defined by the CCPA) your personal information.

Opt-out Preference Signals

Opt-out preference signals or Global Privacy Controls (GPC) provide consumers with a simple and easy-to-use method by which consumers interacting with us online can automatically exercise their opt-out of sale/sharing rights. We will honor your opt-out preference signals if you have your web browser or web browser extension set to opt-out of “selling” or “sharing” of your personal information for targeted advertising.

Retention Criteria

We will retain your personal information as reasonably necessary for the disclosed purpose. The retention periods for each category of personal information, vary depending on compliance with relevant laws, your request for deletion, and our retention policies. For example, we may need to retain your personal information to comply with our legal or reporting obligations in accordance with the laws or to defend against claims. Consequently, it is not possible for us to provide a definitive length of time. Our retention periods are determined by using and balancing the following criteria:
  • The volume, nature, and sensitivity of your information;
  • The potential risk of unauthorized access, use or disclosure, or misappropriation;
  • The purposes for which we process your personal information; and
  • The retention obligations under applicable legal requirements.

To exercise the access, data portability, deletion, and correction rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by:
  • Emailing us at: support@subtlbeauty.com
  • Use the following link to submit your request: https://subtlbeauty.com/pages/contact-us
Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:
  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.
  • 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 information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.

We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response to the email address from which you submit it. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request's receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:
  • Deny you goods or services.
  • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
