Sales of Personal Information

In the preceding twelve months, Sun & Snow has not engaged in the sale of personal information.

California law requires that we provide transparency about personal information we "sell," which for the purposes of the CCPA broadly means scenarios in which we have shared personal information with partners in exchange for valuable consideration.

While we do not provide personal information about you to other companies for money, we do allow certain advertising and analytics partners to collect identifiers, commercial information and Internet or other electronic network information via our Services to show you ads that are targeted to your interests, and these disclosures may be considered “sales” as defined by California law. These partners are further described in the Third Party Advertising, Analytics and Services section of this Privacy Policy. We do not sell personal data of individuals we know to be under 16 years of age.


Notice of Financial Incentive

We offer product incentives to prospective and current Sun & Snow users. Sometimes, consumers sign up in order to receive product incentives. As such, under the CCPA, our product incentives may be considered financial incentives provided in exchange for the collection and retention of personal information.

We offer these product incentives to enhance our relationship with you. There is no obligation to opt-in and consumers may opt-out at any time. The details of each program are contained in each such program offering.

The consumer data received in exchange for your participation is dependent on several factors, including, for example, whether and to what extent you take advantage of any offerings and whether and to what extent you opt out of any offerings but is roughly equivalent to the value of the product offered.


Retention of Personal Information

We will not retain your personal information for longer than is reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes we disclose in this Privacy Policy.


Deletion Request Rights

Your Consumer Rights and Choices

Subject to certain limitations, you have the right to (1) request to know more about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we collect, use, disclose, and sell, and to access your information, (2) request deletion of your personal information, (3) request correction of your personal information, (4) limit processing of sensitive personal information, and (5) not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information.

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights. To exercise the rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by emailing [email protected] or by calling 1-734-663-9515. Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within any 12 consecutive-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

Provide sufficient information to allow us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative of that person.

Describe your request with sufficient detail to allow us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
