We Do Not Sell Your Personal Information
You have the right to know whether your personal information is being sold. Your personal information is "sold" when it is provided with a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration for a purpose that is not a business purpose as set forth in the CCPA or other U.S. state data privacy laws. Please note a "sale" does not include when we disclose your personal information at your direction, or when otherwise permitted under law.
Thaeres does not sell your personal information.
Right to Know, Right to Correct, Right to Receive, Right to Delete
You have the right to:
- Know what specific pieces of personal information Thaeres has collected and retained about you over the previous 12 months.
- Correct inaccurate personal information Thaeres may have retained.
- Receive a copy of your personal information.
- Delete your personal information.
Thaeres makes it easy for you to exercise your rights. You can log into your Thaeres account and view, download, or delete the specific pieces of personal information we have collected. It is important to note that a valid login is required to access or delete personal information associated with a Thaeres account. This safeguard is in place to protect the security of consumers and their data.
If you do not have a Thaeres account, have a more detailed privacy inquiry, or wish to appeal, you can submit a request to our privacy support team via our web form or call our U.S. toll free number (877) 711-2126. If you use an authorized agent, we provide your agent with detailed guidance on how to exercise your privacy rights. In some situations, we may ask you for more information to help us fulfill your request.
Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information
Subject to your privacy settings, and depending on the products you use and your choices, we may collect, process, or disclose certain personal information that qualifies as "sensitive data" under applicable U.S. state data privacy laws. Sensitive data is a subset of personal information.
You have the right to limit the use or disclosure of your sensitive data to the following types of activities, in accordance with applicable U.S. state data privacy laws:
- Perform the services or provide the goods you reasonably expect
- Help ensure the security and integrity of our services, systems, and data, to combat malicious deceptive, fraudulent or illegal acts, and to protect the physical safety of individuals, to the extent the processing is reasonably necessary and proportionate
- For short-term transient use (including non-personalized advertising), so long as the personal data is not disclosed to a third party, is not used for profiling, and is not used to alter an individual’s experience outside the current interaction with Thaeres
- Perform services on behalf of Thaeres, such as maintaining accounts, providing customer service, processing, or fulfilling orders/transactions, verifying customer information, processing payments, providing financing, providing analytics, providing storage, and similar services
- Undertake activities to verify or maintain the quality or safety of, or improve, upgrade, or enhance a service or device owned or controlled by Thaeres
- Collect or process sensitive data where the collection or processing is not for inferring characteristics about the individual
- Any other activities in accordance with any future regulations that are issued pursuant to U.S. state data privacy laws
- We do not use or disclose your sensitive data for purposes other than those listed above and permitted under applicable U.S. state data privacy laws. So, we do not offer an ability to limit the use of sensitive data.
Right to Opt-out of Sale or Sharing
Thaeres does not sell your personal information, so we do not offer an opt out. Thaeres may share personal information with third parties for personalized advertising purposes. You may indicate your choice to opt-out of the sharing of your personal data with third parties for personalized advertising on third party sites by visiting our sharing opt-out page. Even if you turn off sharing, you may still see personalized ads based on information other companies and ad networks have collected about you, if you have not opted out of sharing with them.
Financial Incentives
The CCPA and other U.S. state data privacy laws allow businesses to offer consumers financial incentives for sharing personal information. For example, a business can offer a rewards program or provide a premium service to consumers as compensation for their personal information. Where Thaeres offers these programs, your participation is optional. If you choose to participate, your participation will be subject to any applicable terms, and you may withdraw at any time.
Non-Discrimination
U.S. state privacy laws prohibit businesses from discriminating against you for exercising your rights under the law. Such discrimination may include denying a good or service, providing a different level or quality of service, or charging different prices. The CCPA permits businesses to provide differing levels or quality or different prices where the business can demonstrate that the difference is reasonably related to the value to the business of the consumer’s personal information.
