California Consumer Privacy Protection Act (“CCPA”)

If you are a resident of California, you have certain information protection rights under the Consumer Privacy Protection Act (“CCPA”). We aim to take reasonable steps to allow you to correct, amend, delete, or limit the use of your Personal Information.

If you wish to be informed what Personal Information, we hold about you and if you want it to be removed from our systems, please contact us.

Under the Consumer Privacy Protection Act, you have the following data protection rights:

• The right to access data. This right to access data grants a person the ability to request that a business confirm whether it has personal information about him or her, the type of personal information that the business keeps about the individual, and/or a copy of the specific information that the business has on file. For inquiries click the following link: www.customersim.com/contact.html and submit the details of your request
• The right to be forgotten. The right to be forgotten grants the ability of a person to request that a business delete the personal information that it holds about them.
• The right to opt-out from having information sold. The right to opt-out grants to the ability of a person to direct that a business cannot sell the personal information that it holds about them.
• The right to opt-in to having information sold. The right to opt-in refers to the requirement within the CCPA that a business cannot sell the personal information of a consumer that is less than 16 years old unless the business has received “opt-in” consent i.e., affirmative authorization for the sale of the information. If a child is between the ages of 13 and 16, they can provide the necessary opt-in consent directly to the business. If a child is under the age of 13, a parent or guardian must provide the consent.
• The right to receive services on equal terms. The right to receive services on equal terms prevents us from discriminating against you when exercising your rights under the CCPA.

Requests to remove personal information will remove all past information collected. Please note that we may ask you to verify your identity before responding to such requests.

Your Responsibility for Privacy

Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our Service, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. Ultimately, you are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your password and/or any personal information in your possession.
