California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you have privacy rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (the “Act”). These rights include the right to request information, the right to request deletion of your information, and the right to be free from discrimination for exercising any rights under the Act. Each form of request is subject to verification requirements. This provision is intended to comply with and should be interpreted in accordance with the Act.

Right to Request Information

Subject to the limitations in this provision or otherwise provided by law, a California resident has the right to request the following information from us:

  • The categories of personal information we have collected about the consumer;
  • The categories of sources of information from which the personal information was collected;
  • The business or commercial purpose for collecting the personal information;
  • The categories of third parties with whom we share personal information; and
  • The specific pieces of personal information we have collected about the consumer.

Right to Request Deletion

Subject to the limitations in this provision or otherwise provided by law, a California resident has the right to request that we delete personal information we have collected about the consumer.

We reserve the right to deny a request for deletion, in whole or part, as permitted by law, including where the information is necessary to (i) complete the transaction for which the information was collected, provide a good or service requested by the consumer, or reasonable anticipated within the context of an ongoing business relationship with the consumer, or otherwise perform a contract with the consumer; (ii) detect or prosecute those responsible for security incidents, protected against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; (iii) debug to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality;  (iv) exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise his or her right of free speech, or exercise another right provided for by law; (v) comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act; (vi) engage in peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest as permitted by law; (vii) enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with the expectations of a consumer based upon a consumer’s relationship with us; (viii) comply with a legal obligation; and (ix) otherwise use the information, internally, in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which a consumer provided the information. We also reserve the right to retain a copy of the deleted information in accordance with the California Civil Code or any other applicable legal basis.

How to Make a Request

You may submit a request for information or deletion either through our toll-free telephone number (888-531-0246) or the contact form on our website (www.rescue.com/contact). We reserve the right to deny any request upon any grounds permitted by law.

Verification of Request

All requests for information or deletion are subject to verification. For requests for information of a general nature such as the categories of personal information regarding a consumer, we must be able to verify the identity of the consumer by matching at least two data points received with the request to data points maintained in our records. For requests for information of a specific nature such as specific pieces of information about an individual consumer, we must be able to verify the identity of the consumer by matching at least three data points received with the request to data points maintained in our records. The verification requirements for requests to delete depend upon the nature of the information subject to the request.

In the event you utilize a third party to submit a request on your behalf, we may require either (1) the agent provide proof of power of attorney in accordance with California Probate Code or (2) that you verify your identity with us directly and written confirmation that you have authorized the third party to submit the request.

We reserve the right to deny any request that we are unable adequately verify or upon any other grounds permitted by law.

Freedom from Discrimination

We do not discriminate against consumers who exercise any rights available to them under the California Consumer Privacy Act.
