At times, our Website may provide interactive areas. You are not required to provide any personal information when using these areas, but you may choose to do so. We strongly recommend that you DO NOT use your personal information as your user name and DO NOT post any personally identifiable information on line, since such information will be publicly available.

7. SECURITY

Accordingly, we work hard to protect PMG and individual’s about whom we collect personal information from unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of information we hold. We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure.

8. YOUR DATA RIGHTS

What Data Rights Do You Have?

There are a number of U.S. states that provide specific data rights to residents of those jurisdictions regarding their personal information. This section of this Policy describes the rights available to those individuals who are entitled to them. If you have questions, or want more information about how to exercise your data rights, please contact us using the information provided under the section titled Contact Us.

If you a resident of California, you have access to special data rights and disclosures that are described in this Policy under a separate section titled Data Rights For California Consumers.

If you are a consumer living in Colorado, Connecticut, Nevada or Virginia, you have the following rights with regards to your personal information. These rights are explained in further detail below.

  • Confirmation of Personal Information Processing: Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia

  • Access to Personal Information: Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia

  • Correction of Personal Information: Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia

The general categories of personal information that we collect, process and disclose are listed in the general Policy under the section: What Information We Collect And Disclose And For What Purposes. If you wish to access the specific pieces of personal information that we process about you, please submit a request as directed in the section titled How To Submit A Data Rights Request.

  • Right to Correct: You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information that we maintain about you, taking into account the nature of the personal information and the purposes of the processing of the personal information.

However, please note that if you opt-out, you may still see our ads because we may advertise through other methods that are not based upon your online behavior.

Please review the disclosures in the section titled What Information We Collect And Disclose And For What Purposes for more information.

Applicable state laws allow you to opt out of the application of automated profiling when it relates to substantive decision making, such as denial of financial or lending services, housing, insurance, education enrollment or opportunity, criminal justice, employment opportunities, health-care services, or access to essential goods or services. However, we do not profile individuals in manner that produces legal or similarly significant effects on those individuals. Therefore, we do not offer a way to opt-out of profiling and neither do we look for or process any online browser preference or opt-out signals that purport to opt-out of profiling.

How To Submit A Request

You can submit your request to exercise a data right through the below:

We recognize the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser setting that allows individuals to automatically signal their opt-out of the sale of their personal information or sharing of their personal information for the purposes of targeted advertising. You can opt-out of this sale or share by activating the opt-out preference signal or Global Privacy Control (GPC) on your browser. More information regarding GPC is available here.

How We Process Data Rights Requests

Once we receive your request to exercise a right, we will confirm receipt and begin to evaluate, and if appropriate, process the request. Please note that:

  • We may require that you provide additional information to confirm your identity, including providing us with at least two or more pieces of personal information to match against personal information that we currently maintain about you. We reserve the right to reject your request if we are unable to verify your identity to a sufficiently high level of certainty. The information you provide to verify your identity will only be used for verification purposes, and a record of your request, including certain information contained within it, will be maintained by us for our files.

  • To authenticate any request to correct personal information, you may be required to provide authentication information.

  • Certain laws or other legal requirements might prevent some personal information from being deleted.

If you fail or refuse to provide the necessary information, we may not be able to process your request.

If we reject a request for any reason, we will inform you of the basis of the rejection. We may not be able to comply with your request for a number of reasons, including:

  • you do not live in a state that grants you the specific right that you have requested;

  • the information that you’ve requested is not subject to the regulation that grants you the right to make a request in relation to your personal information;

  • we are prevented or exempted by law, regulation or rule from complying with your request;

  • we do not maintain your personal information in a manner that is connected to your identity;

  • we are not able to comply with your request without incurring disproportionate burden or expense; or

  • if complying with your request conflicts with the integrity of our Services, the ability to administer our Website, to administer our business and related relationships or to establish, defend or administer legal claims.

If any of the above reasons apply, we will let you know in our response to your request.

Submitting A Request Through Browser Controls Or An Authorized Agent

We recognize the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser setting that allows individuals to automatically signal their opt-out of the sale of their personal information or sharing of their personal information for the purposes of targeted advertising. You can opt-out of this sale or share by activating the opt-out preference signal or Global Privacy Control (GPC) on your browser. More information regarding GPC is available here.

Further, you may designate an authorized agent to make a request to “out-opt” of sale, profiling or targeted advertising, as those rights are described above. An authorized agent should make a request through the same mechanisms that are available to individuals as described in this policy. The request should clearly identify that the request is being made by an authorized agent and must include evidence of authorization. If we receive a request from an individual or an entity purporting to making the request on behalf of another individual, we can only comply with the request if we are able to sufficiently authenticate both the identity of the individual as well as the authorized agent’s authority to act on that individual’s behalf. California has special rules regarding submitting requests through agents, so please review the appropriate disclosure in the section titled Data Rights For California Consumers.

Appeals And Complaints

If you disagree with our decision to reject your request or to any portion of our request, you have the right to appeal our refusal within a reasonable period of time. If you wish to appeal, please clearly and plainly describe your basis of disagreement with our decision by responding through the same means by which we communicated our refusal or by submitting your appeal through the information provided under Contact Us. We will review your appeal and either change our decision or reject your appeal, and in either case, we will provide a written explanation of the reason for the decision. This decision will be final.

However, if you still disagree with our decision, you have the right to submit a complaint to your attorney general of your state of residence. Your attorney general will have an online portal with details regarding how to submit complaints:

For example, if we delete all of your personal information, we cannot send you e-mails or other communications.

  • Right to Opt-Out: California residents have the right to opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of their personal information (as those terms are defined above).

California residents can request that a business limit its use or disclosure of their “sensitive” personal information to that use or disclosure which is necessary to perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected by an average consumer, or to those uses or disclosures otherwise authorized by California law. However, we do not use or disclose your “sensitive” personal information for any purpose other than for the specific purposes described under the CCPA regulation § 7027(m) and always in a manner reasonably necessary and proportionate for these permitted purposes.

We will still require you to provide sufficient information to allow us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we have collected personal information. We can deny any request made by a purported authorized agent who does not submit proof that they has been authorized by the California resident to act on the California resident’s behalf.

  • Do Not Track (“DNT”): DNT is an optional browser setting that allows you to express your preferences regarding tracking across websites. Most modern web browsers give you the option to send a Do Not Track signal to the websites you visit, indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. However, there is no accepted standard for how a website should respond to this signal, so we do not take any action in response to this signal. We do not have a mechanism in place to respond to DNT signals. Instead, in addition to publicly available third-party tools, we offer you the choices described in this Privacy Policy to manage the collection and use of information about you.

You can find specific details about the purposes for which we collect personal information about you in the section titled: What Information We Collect From You And For What Purposes of the general Policy.

4. OBTAINING CONSENT

Except when otherwise permitted by law or binding regulation, we will obtain the requisite consent from you prior to collecting and, in any case, prior to using or disclosing your personal information for any purpose other than as disclosed in this International Policy. You may provide your consent to us orally, in writing, by electronic communication, through your actions or any other means reasonably capable of conveying your consent.

Generally, we will seek to obtain your explicit consent if we collect, use or disclose sensitive personal information about you. However, your refusal to provide consent for collection (or your withdrawal of previously given consent) or to give your personal information when requested, can have negative consequences. For example, if you do not give consent for our collection of cookies, then the Website will not remember your preferences. In another example, if you do not provide your personal information when requested we may not be able to provide you with requested materials, disclosures or Services.

We remain responsible for all personal information communicated to other entities for processing on our behalf. As such, we ensure that other entities that are engaged to provide products or services on our behalf and are provided with personal information are required to observe the intent of this International Policy by having comparable levels of security protection or, when required, by assuring us (through a confidentiality agreement) that they will not use or disclose the personal information for any purpose other than the purpose for which the personal information was communicated. You can find specific details about to whom we disclose your personal information in the section titled What Information We Collect And Disclose And For What Purposes.

We do not, as a condition of providing the Website or performing the Services, or as an administrative or management requirement, require consent to the collection, use or disclosure of personal information beyond what is reasonably required for such purposes, or to comply with our obligations under applicable law or regulation.

7. RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may keep a record of your personal information, including correspondence or comments, in a file specific to you. We will utilize, disclose, or retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and for legal or business requirements. We will establish minimum and maximum retention periods and procedures for maintaining and destroying your personal information. When personal information is retained to make a decision about you, we will retain such information for the period required in order to comply with our internal data retention policies.
