From time to time, we may run certain offers and promotions that may be deemed “financial incentives” in relation to our collection of personal information under the CCPA. For example, we may offer you the ability to read an article on our website in exchange for providing us with certain third-party social media account information, such as your name, image and email address. You can make a request to delete your data in order to withdraw from such a program by following the instructions under the “How to Exercise Your California Privacy Rights” section of this California Privacy Notice. The value of such a program to FORTUNE is related to the value of your information to us and the costs associated with offering the program. The value of your data to FORTUNE may be calculated based on a number of factors, such as whether and to what extent you take advantage of any of our paid product or service offerings.

Verifying Your Requests

We only respondtoyour requests to know, access the specific pieces of personal information we have about you, delete and correct inaccurate personal information when we can verify that you are a California resident exercising your rights regarding your personal information.  

We may need additional information from you to verify your request. We may need additional information from you to match the information we already have about you in order to verify your request. If you provide us with new personal information that we did not already have about you, we will use it solely for the purpose of verifying your request. We will let you know via email if we need more information from you to verify your request.  Please reply to our requests promptly.

We will communicate with you via email. We will use the email address you provided when submitting your request.

If we cannot verify your identity, we will let you know.

Responding To Your Requests

We aim to promptly verify and respond to your requests to know, access the specific pieces of personal information we have about you, delete and correct inaccuracies in your personal information within 45 days of receipt, but may require a total of 90 days to respond to your requests. If we require additional time beyond the initial 45 days and that time is reasonably necessary, we will let you know within the first 45 days. We respond to requests you submit to us to opt-out of the sale of your personal information within 15 business days.

We do not ordinarily charge a fee for our response to your requests. However, we may do so if your request(s) are excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that charging a fee is warranted, we will let you know and will provide you with an estimate of the associated costs of responding to your request(s).

If we determine that we cannot or will not take the action that you requested, we will let you know. We will inform you of our reasons for not taking action and any rights you may have to appeal the decision.

We will respond your requests via email. We will contact you at the email address you provided when submitting your request(s). If you would like to receive responses to a request to know or access personal information via postal mail rather than email, please let us know when submitting your request(s).

Limitations

The CCPA does not apply in full to all personal information we collect from California residents. As set out in “Scope” above, the CCPA is not fully applicable to some personal information collected from California residents.  Therefore, even if you are a California resident and submit a verifiable request, we may not be required to comply with your request.

We are only required to respond to certain requests twice in any 12-month period. We are not required to provide you access to specific pieces of personal information more than twice in any 12-month period. Similarly, we are not required to comply with your “requests to know more” than twice in any twelve-month period.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) Signals

We rely on a third-party service provider to implement a tool in an effort to recognize and honor “do not track” and Global Privacy Control signals as requests to opt-out of “sharing” your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes (as such term is defined in the CCPA).
