Your State Privacy Rights

State consumer privacy laws may provide their residents with additional rights regarding our use of their personal information.

A.) California Residents

Rights Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”)

This section of the privacy policy applies only to California residents who are natural persons; it does not apply to any entities (whether business, non-profit or governmental). If you are a California resident, you have the following rights:

1.    Right to Know. The right to request, up to two times in a 12-month period, that we identify to you (1) the categories of personal information we have collected, shared or sold about you, (2) the categories of sources from which the personal information was collected, (3) the business purpose for which we use this information, and (4) the categories of third parties with whom we disclose or have disclosed your personal information;

2.    Right to Access. The right to request, up to two times in a 12-month period, that we provide you access to or disclose to you the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you;

3.    Right to Delete. The right to request, up to two times in a 12-month period, that we delete personal information that we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions;

4.    Right to Correct. The right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information (to the extent such an inaccuracy exists) that we maintain about you;

5.    The right to designate an authorized agent to submit one of the above requests on your behalf. See below for how you can designate an authorized agent; and

6.    The right to not be discriminated or retaliated against for exercising any of the above rights.

You Can Submit Any of the Above Types of Requests by submitting an online request on our website at https://www.viridiswindpower.com/contact/

How We Will Verify That it is Really You Submitting the Request:

If you are a California resident, when you submit a Right to Know, Right to Access, Right to Delete, or Right to Correct request through one of the methods provided above, we will ask you to provide some information in order to verify your identity and respond to your request. Specifically, we will ask you to verify information that can be used to link your identity to particular information in our possession, which depends on the nature of your relationship and interaction with us. For example, we may need you to provide your name, address, email, phone number, last 4 digits of your social security number, and/or your date of birth.

Responding to your Right to Know, Right to Access, Right to Delete, and Right to Correct Requests

Upon receiving a verifiable request from a California resident, we will confirm receipt of the request no later than 10 business days after receiving it. We endeavour to respond to a verifiable request within forty-five (45) calendar days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to an additional 45 calendar days, or 90 calendar days total from the date we receive your request), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

For a request to correct inaccurate personal information, we will accept, review, and consider any documentation that you provide, and we may require that you provide documentation to rebut our own documentation that the personal information is accurate. You should make a good-faith effort to provide us with all necessary information at the time that you make the request to correct. We may deny a request to correct if we have a good-faith, reasonable, and documented belief that a request to correct is fraudulent or abusive. If we deny your request to correct, we shall inform you of our decision not to comply and provide an explanation as to why we believe the request is fraudulent.

If You Have an Authorized Agent:

If you are a California resident, you can authorize someone else as an authorized agent who can submit a request on your behalf. To do so, you must either (a) execute a valid, verifiable, and notarized power of attorney, or (b) provide other written, signed authorization that we can then verify. When we receive a request submitted on your behalf by an authorized agent who does not have a power of attorney, that person will be asked to provide written proof that they have your permission to act on your behalf. We will also contact you and ask you for information to verify your own identity directly and not through your authorized agent. We may deny a request from an authorized agent if the agent does not provide your signed permission demonstrating that they have been authorized by you to act on your behalf.

Independent Contractors

California residents who are independent contractors, please see the Privacy Notice to California Independent Contractors for more information specific to you.

Vendors

California residents who interact with the Company while employed through a third-party vendor, please see the Privacy Notice to California Vendors for more information specific to you.

  • Confirm whether we process their personal information.
  • Access and delete certain personal information.
  • Data portability.
  • Opt-out of personal data processing for targeted advertising and sales.
