Privacy Information for California Residents

The Company has in place policies and procedures to facilitate the exercise of privacy rights available to

information with respect to our collection, use, and disclosure of personal information.

Your Privacy Rights Subject to certain limitations, you have the following rights under
California law:

of charge, the categories, and names/addresses of third parties that have received personal
information for their direct marketing purposes.

o Right to Information About Collecting, Selling, Sharing, or Disclosing Personal Information: upon receipt of a verifiable request, you may obtain a list of:

  1. The specific pieces of your personal information The Company holds;
  2. The categories of personal information collected about you, sold to or shared
    with third parties, or disclosed to third parties for business purposes;
  3. The categories of personal information sold or shared within the last 12

  5. The business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, or sharing

under certain circumstances. As noted elsewhere, we do not sell your personal
information.

o Right to Deletion: to obtain the deletion of your personal information in the
situations set forth by applicable data protection law and upon receipt of a verifiable

Our uses of sensitive personal information are described in the Sensitive Personal

o Right to Non-Discrimination. As defined under relevant law, you have a right to
non-discrimination in the Services or quality of Services you receive from us for
exercising your rights.

Please contact us utilizing the methods listed in the www.csspecialist.com Privacy Notice Section below in
relation to exercising these rights. We may ask you to provide information about yourself so that we can
verify your identity as part of this process. This information may include your name, email address, and
any other information necessary to reasonably verify your identity, to ensure that your information is not
shared with anyone impersonating you. We may ask for additional information if we have difficulty
confirming your identity. We will not share your information or honor other requests in those situations
in which we are unable to confirm a request for your information is a “verifiable request.” Once we have
verified your identity, we will work to fulfill your request in a timely manner. Please note there may be
some situations in which we are unable to fulfill your request, such as if we cannot find any information
about you within our systems. Additionally, we may not be able to honor a deletion request in some
situations, such as if your information is necessary to fulfill the Services you requested or meet a legal
obligation. We will inform you whether we can fulfill your rights request.

Under California law a consumer can appoint an “authorized agent” to make certain verifiable requests
upon their behalf, such as the right to know what information we collect about the consumer or to request
deletion of the consumer’s information. An “authorized agent” may submit a request on behalf of a
California resident who has authorized the agent to act on their behalf. Because the security and privacy
of your information is paramount, we will ask that you identify such persons and directly confirm that
such persons are authorized to act as your agent and exercise your applicable rights under California law
in such situations. This may require us to contact you directly and alert you that an individual has claimed
to be your agent and is attempting to access or delete your information. We will also independently verify
your identity to ensure that an unauthorized person is not attempting to impersonate you and exercise your
rights without authorization. We will not share your information or honor any other requests in those
situations where you cannot or do not grant permission in writing for an identified authorized agent to act
on your behalf, or where we cannot independently verify your identity.

If you are a California resident and have any questions about this Privacy Policy, our practices, your
personal information, or your rights and choices under applicable laws, please see in the
www.csspecialist.com Privacy Notice Section] at the information below.
