Your Rights and Choices 

The CCPA provides consumers that are 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”). We may also provide information from beyond 12 months if it is not unduly burdensome for us to collect. Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete), 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, selling or sharing that personal information.
  • The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
  • If we sold or disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing:
    • sales, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and 
    • disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained. 
  • 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 (see Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete), we will review your request to see if an exception allowing us to retain the information 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 a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
  2. Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
  3. Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
  4. Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
  5. Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.).
  6. Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
  7. Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
  8. Comply with a legal obligation.
  9. Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

We will delete or de identify personal information not subject to one of these exceptions from our records and will direct our service providers, contractors, and any other entities with whom such information has been shared to take similar action. 

Right to Opt out of Certain Automated Decision Making and Profiling.

Our Sites make use of certain automated decision-making algorithms which help to optimize how we provide our services to you by curating your user experience. You may choose not to have your personal information included in or subject to such automated decision-making and profiling. You also have the right to request information about:

  • The types of profiling that we use;
  • The algorithms and assumptions underlying our automated decision-making;
  • The likely outcomes of our automated decision-making processes as directed to you, the individual requesting such information.

You may exercise these rights by contacting us at: help@carboninsurance.co or 1389 Center Dr., Suite #200, Park City, UT 84098, or by clicking: DO NOT USE AUTOMATED DECISION MAKING OR PROFILING.

Right to Correct

You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate personal information about you, taking into account the  nature of the personal information and of our use of such personal information. Upon receiving a request to correct inaccuracies from a verified person, we shall endeavor to correct the incorrect information as soon as is feasible unless an exception to our obligation to do so applies.

Exercising Your Rights 

To exercise your rights to know or delete described above, please submit a request by either: 

  • Email us at: help@carboninsurance.co.
  • Contact us at: 1389 Center Dr., Suite #200, Park City, UT 84098.

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request to know or delete related to your personal information. To designate an authorized agent, please provide a letter, signed by you and your authorized agent designating your authorized agent.

You may also make a request to know or delete on behalf of your child by contacting us through one of the above means. 

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 or an authorized representative, and we reserve the right to request verification requirements.
  • 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. However, we do consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal information associated with that specific account.

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

For instructions on exercising your sale opt-out or opt-in rights, see Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights.

Response Timing and Format

We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) business days. If you do not receive confirmation within the 10-day timeframe, please contact as at: help@carboninsurance.co or at: 1389 Center Dr., Suite #200, Park City, UT 84098.

We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable consumer request without undue delay and in any case within thirty (30) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another 30 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, in the same format as the request you sent to us.

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 usable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

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. 

Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights

If you are age 16 or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell or share your personal information at any time (the “right to opt-out”). We do not sell consumer personal information at this time, and we do not collect information from individuals we actually know are less than 16 years old. To exercise the right to opt-out, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us by clicking: Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to reauthorize collection and use of your personal information. However, you may change your mind and opt back in to collection and use of your personal information sales at any time by emailing us at: help@carboninsurance.co.

You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights. We will only use personal information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request.
