The CCPA defines “sensitive personal information” to include, among other things, your: social security, driver’s license, state identification card, or passport numbers; account log-in, financial account, debit card, or credit card numbers in combination with any required security or access code, password, or credentials allowing access to an account; racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, or union membership; genetic data; and biometric information (including physiological, biological, or behavioral characteristics).  You may exercise this right by clicking the link in the footer of the Site titled “Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information” or contacting us as at privacy@tranzact.net.

Notice at Collection: At or before the point of collection, notice must be provided to California residents of the categories of personal information collected and the purposes for which such information is used.

Verifiable Requests to Delete and Requests to Know: Subject to certain exceptions, California residents have the right to make the following requests, at no charge:

Request to Delete: California residents have the right to request deletion of their personal information that we have collected about them and to have such personal information deleted, except where an exemption applies. The instructions for submitting a verifiable Request to Delete are described in the “Submitting Requests” section below.

Request to Know: California residents have the right to request and, subject to certain exemptions, receive a copy of the specific pieces of personal information that we have collected, used, disclosed, and sold about them in the prior 12 months and to have this delivered, free of charge, either (a) by mail or (b) electronically in a portable and, to the extent technically feasible, readily useable format that allows the individual to transmit this information to another entity without hindrance. California residents also have the right to request that we provide them certain information about how we have handled their personal information in the prior 12 months, including the:

  • categories of personal information collected;
  • categories of sources of personal information;
  • business and/or commercial purposes for collecting and selling their personal information;
  • categories of third parties with whom we have shared their personal information;
  • categories of personal information that we have sold in the preceding 12 months, and for each category identified, the categories of third parties to which we sold that particular category of information; and
  • categories of personal information disclosed for a business purpose in the preceding 12 months, and for each category identified, the categories of third parties to which we disclosed that particular category of personal information.

California residents may make Requests to Know up to twice every 12 months. We will respond to verifiable requests received from California residents as required by law. The instructions for submitting a verifiable Request to Know are described in the “Submitting Requests” section below.

Submitting Requests. Requests to Know, Requests to Correct, and Requests to Delete may be submitted:

  • Submitting a request to us at here
  • By contacting us at 1-800-275-9761 (toll free)

We will respond to verifiable requests received from California residents as required by law.

We will use the following process to verify Requests to Know, Requests to Correct, and Requests to Delete: We will acknowledge receipt of you Consumer Request, verify it using processes required by law, then process and respond to your request as required by law. To verify such requests, we may ask you to provide the following information:

  • For a request to know categories of personal information which we collect, we will verify your identity to a reasonable degree of certainty by matching at least two data points provided by you against information in our systems which are considered reasonably reliable for the purposes of verifying a consumer’s identity.
  • For a request to know specific pieces of personal information or for requests to delete, we will verify your identity to a high degree of certainty by matching at least three pieces of personal information provided by you to personal information maintained in our systems and also by obtaining a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that the requestor is the consumer whose personal information is the subject of the request.

An authorized agent can make a CCPA request on a California resident’s behalf by providing either: (1) proof that the consumer authorized the agent to do so; (2) verification of their own identity with respect to a Right to Know categories, Right to Know specific pieces of personal information, Requests to Correct, or Requests to Delete which are outlined above; and (3) direct confirmation that the consumer provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request.

Right to Non-Discrimination: The CCPA prohibits discrimination against California residents for exercising their rights under the CCPA. Discrimination may exist where a business denies or provides a different level or quality of goods or services, or charges (or suggests that it will charge) different prices, rates, or penalties on residents who exercise their CCPA rights, unless doing so is reasonably related to the value provided to the business by the residents’ data.

Financial Incentives: A business may offer financial incentives for the collection, sale or deletion of California residents’ personal information, provided the incentive is not unjust, unreasonable, coercive or usurious, and is made available in compliance with applicable transparency, informed consent, and opt-out requirements. California residents have the right to be notified of any financial incentives offers and their material terms, the right to opt-out of such incentives at any time, and may not be included in such incentives without their prior informed opt-in consent. We may make available educational materials that may be useful to individuals who are shopping for a specific type of insurance in exchange for an individual providing us their personal information and agreeing to be contacted about our and third party products and services. You may opt out of marketing communications from us at any time, as set out in the Your Choices section above.
