California Privacy Disclosures and Rights
CCPA Privacy Rights
Starting January 1, 2020, consumers residing in California are afforded additional rights with respect to their personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) (California Civil Code Section 1798.100 et seq.). If you are a California consumer, you have the following rights under the CCPA:
- Right to know about our collection, disclosure and “sale” of your personal information. GLOBE-TROTTER USA INC. does not and will not sell your personal information.
- Right to access your personal information collected and retained by us.
- Right to request deletion of your personal information collected and retained by us, subject to certain exceptions.
- Right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising your rights under the CCPA. GLOBE-TROTTER USA INC. does not and will not treat you in a discriminatory manner for exercising your CCPA rights.
- Here is how you can exercise your right to know, right to access, or right to delete your personal information. To do so, please complete the webform below or call +1 (323) 693-7950. If you would like to submit a request in person at one of our stores, please request a CCPA request form and fill it out and submit it to the manager on site. For request to delete, please note that we may retain certain information as required by law or as permitted by law for our legitimate business purposes. We may also retain cached or archived copies of information about you for a certain period of time.
Verification
Before responding to your request, we must verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that the Personal Information requested relates to you. If you maintain an account with us, we will verify your identity through existing authentication practices for your account (e.g. login and password). If you do not have a registered account, we will verify your identity by matching two or three data points that you provide with data points that we maintain and have determined to be reliable for the purposes of verification (e.g. email, phone number, billing or shipping address).
Authorized Agents
You can use an authorized agent, who is registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorized to act on your behalf, to make CCPA requests on your behalf. But we may require proof that you have provided the agent with written permission to submit a request on your behalf and to verify his/her identity, or to demonstrate that he or she has power of attorney.
Change Your Preferences
To stop receiving promotional communications from us, you may: (1) follow the unsubscribe instructions contained in each promotional email; (2) log into your account on the Site and change your preferences; or (3) send your request, along with your name, email and postal address, to the email or postal address listed here. We will process your request within a reasonable time frame, but you may, in the interim, receive previously scheduled communications from us. We may also continue to send you non-promotional emails, such as messages about your account or purchases.
Security
We shall process your personal data in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage. In particular, access is restricted to employees who need to know your personal data, and we use appropriate password protection and appropriate strong encryption electronic measures within our electronic data management systems.
However, unfortunately, because of the nature of electronic storage, we cannot promise that your personal data or any other data you provide to us will always remain secure. If there is a security breach, we will do all that we can as soon as we can to stop the breach and minimise the loss of any data.
Marketing
You may consent to receive marketing email messages from us about our website and our services, website, events, sales and business generally by signing up to our newsletter. You can choose to no longer receive marketing emails from us by contacting us or clicking unsubscribe from a marketing email. Please note that it may take us a few days to update our records to reflect your request.
If you ask us to remove you from our marketing list, we shall keep a record of your name and email address to ensure that we do not send to you marketing information. If you still have an account with us, we shall continue to email you in relation to your account only.
Retention of personal data
Subject to the provisions of this Privacy Policy, we will retain personal data in accordance with applicable laws.
We may also be required to retain personal data for a particular period of time to comply with legal, auditory or statutory requirements, including requirements in respect of financial documents and in order to deal with any dispute you might raise. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the type of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of the personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.
Where we have no legal basis for continuing to process your personal data, we shall either delete or anonymise it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
For the avoidance of doubt, we may use anonymous data, such as usage data for research or statistical purposes indefinitely without further notice to you.
