Your Rights and Choices

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.

Right to Know and Data Portability

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 (the “right to know”). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity, we will 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 share that personal information.

  • The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).
Right to Delete

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 (the “right to delete”). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity, we will review your request in accordance with the CCPA, and delete or deidentify your personal information, and direct our service providers to take similar action, in accordance with the requirements of the CCPA. We may also deny your deletion request under certain circumstances, but will provide you with feedback when we deny such requests.

Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete

To exercise your rights to know or delete described above, please submit a request at the contact information provided below.

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request to know or delete related to your personal information.

‍You may only submit a request to know twice within a 12-month period. Your request to know or delete must:

‍Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information.

‍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.

‍You do not need to create an account with us to submit a request to know or delete.

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

‍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 (up to an additional 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

‍Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance, such as by the email address that you provided.

‍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.

We currently do not provide any financial incentives.

‍Shine the Light

If you are a California resident, the Shine the Light law permits California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please contact us at the information below.

Additional Considerations For Individuals In The European Economic Area (“EEA”)
‍Data Transfers to Other Countries/Territories

For Data Subjects EEA, we may transfer your personal information outside the EEA for processing pursuant to the purposes outlined above. When you provide us personal information, you understand and agree that it may be transferred across national boundaries and processed outside the EEA, including by trusted third parties. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Policy. If we do this, we have procedures in place to ensure our personal information receives the same protection as if it were being processed inside the EEA.

‍Additional Privacy Rights for EEA Individuals

There are certain laws which provide individuals with additional privacy rights. Under the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), individuals in the EEA have additional privacy rights:

‍Right to be Informed. Individuals have the right to transparency regarding our collection of personal information.

‍Right of Access. Individuals have the right to know exactly what information is held about them and how it is processed.

‍Right of Rectification. Individuals will be entitled to have personal information rectified if it is inaccurate or incomplete.

‍Right to Erasure. Also known as ‘the right to be forgotten’, this refers to an individual’s right to having their personal information deleted or removed without the need for a specific reason as to why they wish to discontinue.

‍Right to Restrict Processing. An individual’s right to block or suppress processing of their personal information.

‍Right to Data Portability. This allows individuals to retain and reuse their personal information for their own purpose.

‍Right to Object. In certain circumstances, individuals are entitled to object to their personal information being used.

‍Rights of Automated Decision Making and Profiling. The GDPR has put in place safeguards to protect individuals against the risk that a potentially damaging decision is made without human intervention.

‍If you wish to exercise your rights under the GDPR, please contact us using any of the methods provided in the “Contact Us” section below. We will consider and process your request within a reasonable period of time. Please be aware that under certain circumstances, the GDPR may limit your exercise of these rights.

Your personal information may be collected, transferred to and stored by us in the United States and by our affiliates and third-parties disclosed below, that are based in other countries.

‍Therefore, your personal information may be processed outside your jurisdiction, including in countries and jurisdictions that are not subject to an adequacy decision by the European Commission or your local legislature or regulator, and that may not provide for the same level of data protection as your jurisdiction.

‍We ensure that the recipient of your personal information offers an adequate level of protection and security, for instance by entering into the appropriate back-to-back agreements and, if required, standard contractual clauses or an alternative mechanism for the transfer of data as approved by the European Commission (Art. 46 GDPR) or other applicable regulators or legislators. Where required by applicable law, we will only share, transfer or store your personal information outside of your jurisdiction with your prior consent.

Quin’s Customers’ Processing of your Personal Information

As described above, we may also process personal information submitted by or for a customer to our Services. Unless otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, we process such personal information as a processor on behalf of our customer (and their affiliates) who is the controller of the personal information. We are not responsible for and have no control over the personal information practices and processing activities of our customers, which may differ from those explained in this Privacy Policy. If your personal information has been submitted to us by or on behalf of a Quin customer and you wish to exercise any rights you may have under applicable data protection laws, you will have to direct your inquiries to such customers.

‍Quin only processes our customers information (which may include your personal information), at the direction of our customers, and solely upon their instructions to us. If you submit your request to us, please provide us the name of the Quin customer who submitted your data to us. We will refer your request to that customer, and will support them as needed in responding to your request within a reasonable timeframe.

Changes to the Privacy Policy
