Exercising Your California Access, Deletion, and Do-Not-Sell Rights

California Consumers have the right to request: (1) that we disclose to you what Personal Information we collect, use, disclose, and sell, including the right to request that we provide to you the specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you in the prior 12 months (“Right to Know”); (2) that we delete the Personal Information we collect about you (“Right to Delete”); and, (3) to opt-out from the sale of Personal Information, all subject to exceptions set forth in the CCPA. More information on each of these rights is below.

Authorized Agents

If you are an agent submitting a request on a consumer’s behalf, please follow the instructions below for submitting a request and indicate you are an agent. You may also contact us at privacy@thefreeosk.com or call us at (888) 563–1121. We will also ask you to submit a declaration signed by the individual who is the subject of the request authorizing you to make the request on their behalf. The written permission must state your full legal name, the full legal name of the individual who is the subject of the request, and needs to be clear about the permission granted. Alternatively, you may submit a copy of a power of attorney under Probate Code sections 4000-4465. The consumer’s identity, in addition to your own, will need to be independently verified in order for us to be able to fulfill your request. We may also ask the consumer to directly confirm with us that they provided you permission to submit a request. Please keep in mind that if we do not receive adequate proof of identity and that you are authorized to act on the consumer’s behalf, we may deny the request.

How to Make a Request to Know or Request to Delete

If you are a California consumer and would like to request information about the Personal Information we have collected about you in the prior 12 months or request that we delete information, please contact us at privacy@thefreeosk.com or complete this form: CA Request My Personal Information.

If you are a California consumer and would like to request that we delete information we have collected from you, please contact us at privacy@thefreeosk.com.

You may also call us toll-free at (888) 563–1121.

Verifying Requests

When submitting your request, please provide your first and last name, phone number and email address that you have previously provided to Freeosk, which we will use to verify your request.

If you have only interacted with Freeosk through your Retailer Credentials, please provide the email address associated with your retail account.

If we are unable to verify that the individual submitting the request is the same individual about whom we have collected information (or someone authorized by that individual to act on their behalf), we will not be able to process the request.

Requests to Know

In order to have us provide specific pieces of information, we will require a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the consumer whose Personal Information is the subject of the request.

Requests to Delete

To ensure that we do not delete your personal information in response to a fraudulent request, once you submit the request, we may follow up to confirm that you want your information to be deleted.

Right To Opt-Out of the Sale of Personal Information

The CCPA also provides a right to California residents to request to opt-out of the sale of Personal Information. As we describe in our privacy policy above, we exchange certain information with third parties, some of which may be considered a “sale” under the CCPA under certain circumstances. If you are a California resident and would like to opt-out of this type of sharing, click here. You may also call us toll-free at (888) 563-1121.

Users Younger than 16

Freeosk does not knowingly sell Personal Information of minors younger than 16 years of age.

Right to Non-Discrimination for the Exercise of a Consumer’s Privacy Rights
