Your rights: to request that we delete collected personal information, subject to exceptions outlined below, your right to non-discriminatory treatment.

Requests to Delete Personal Information

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information collected from you. Once we receive and confirm your request, we will delete the information from our records unless an exception applies. The CCPA provides that we are not required to comply with a request to delete personal information if the information is necessary for Us to:

complete the transaction for which the information was collected

provide a service you requested

perform a contract with you

take anticipated actions due to our ongoing business relationship with you

detect security incidents, protect against deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity

comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act

exercise another right provided by law

enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations

How To Exercise Your Privacy Rights

You can exercise these rights by sending an email to requests@bonsai.llc. You may make the request on your own behalf or on behalf of your minor child. Another person who is legally authorized to act on your behalf may also submit a request for you. We will promptly acknowledge receipt of your request and begin our verification process. Before we respond to any request involving personal information, the CCPA requires that we confirm the identity of the person making the request, and if the request is made on behalf of another person. We reserve the right to deny any request where we are unable to satisfactorily confirm your identity. We will attempt to verify your identity by matching any information provided in your request against the personal information already in our possession. If you have authorized someone to make a request on your behalf, we will attempt to verify the identity of that person. This process does not require that you establish any type of account with us or sign up to receive any of our services.

During our verification process, we may request additional information from you. Any information provided to us during our verification process will only be used for purposes of verifying your identity or the identity and/or authority of the person making the request. We will endeavor to respond within forty-five (45) days of receipt of your request. If we are unable to respond within that time, we will notify you of the reason and the additional time needed to make our response. The CCPA permits us to extend the time of our response by up to an additional 45 days. We are not obligated under the CCPA to respond to any request where compliance or disclosure would violate an evidentiary privilege under California law, or conflict with federal or state law. The CCPA, does not require that we provide personal information to a consumer more than twice in a twelve month period. Disclosures we make will only cover the twelve (12) month period preceding the request. We will not charge a fee to process or respond to your request and will provide information free of charge. Where a person’s requests are repetitive, unfounded or excessive, the CCPA authorizes us to either charge a reasonable fee that takes into account our administrative costs, or refuse to act on the request and notify the person making the request our reason for refusing the request.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. For example, we will not deny you services, charge you a different price, or impose a penalty for the exercise of your CCPA rights.
