10. “California Privacy Rights ”

    The following section pertains to the rights of individuals or households in California ( “California Consumers” ). taskpay™ is committed to compliance with the CCPA, which allows residents of the State of California to remain informed about how taskpay™ handles information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with you or your household ( “California Personal Information” ) that we have collected from you in any preceding 12-month period. Specifically, this policy discloses the categories of California Personal Information that we collect, use, and disclose in the provision of our services to you. For California Consumers, the provisions of this Section prevail over any conflicting provisions in other sections of this Privacy Policy.

    1. “Civil Code Section 1798.83 ” Under certain circumstances, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 states that, upon receipt of a request by a California Consumer, a business may be required to provide detailed information regarding how that business has shared that Customer’s Personal Information with third parties for direct marking purposes.  However, the foregoing does not apply to businesses like ours that do not disclose Personal Information to third parties for direct marketing purposes without prior approval or give customers a free mechanism to opt out of having their Personal Information disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

    2. “Rights under the CCPA ” The CCPA provides California Consumers with additional rights regarding Personal Information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly with a particular consumer or household. The categories of Personal Information we collect are generally described here in above but differ for individual consumers depending on the Services used by such consumers. Under the CCPA, qualifying California Consumers may have the following rights:

       1. 2.1.

          “Right to Know and Right to Delete” A California Consumer has the right to request that we disclose what Personal Information we collect, use, disclose and sell.  A California consumer also has the right to submit requests to delete Personal Information. When we receive a request to know or delete from a California consumer, we will confirm receipt of the request within a reasonable time, in our sole discretion, and provide information about how we will process the request, including our verification process.  We will respond to such requests as required under the applicable law.

       2. 2.2.

          “Right for Disclosure of Information” A California consumer may also submit requests that we disclose specific types or categories of Personal Information that we collect. Under certain circumstances, we will not provide such information, including where the disclosure creates a substantial, articulable and unreasonable risk to the security of that Personal Information, Customers’ account with us, or the security of our systems or networks. We also will not disclose California Consumers’ social security numbers, driver’s license numbers or other government-issued identification numbers, financial account numbers, any health insurance or medical identification numbers, or account passwords and security questions and answers. In the event that we receive requests from a California consumer who has a relationship with you (for example, from an employee or client of a customer), we will inform you.

    3. “Submitting Requests ” If you are a California consumer and would like to make any requests under the CCPA, please direct them to the communication channels provided hereinabove.

    4. “Designated Agent ” You may designate an agent to make a request on your behalf. That agent must have access to your account in order for us to verify the request. You may make such a designation by providing the agent with written permission to act on your behalf. We will require the agent to provide proof of that written permission. As permitted by law, we may require you to verify your own identity in response to a request, even if you choose to use an agent.

    3. Under the GDPR, we are a processor or co-processor of the Personal Information of EEA Residents.
