Last updated: April 23, 2020

 

ComfortSoul (“ComfortSoul,” “we,” or “us”) understands the importance of your privacy and takes our responsibility to protect your information seriously.  To that end, this privacy notice (the “Notice”) provides information regarding the categories of information we collect from California residents, how we use and share that information, and certain rights and obligations relating to that information, as required by the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the “CCPA”).  This Notice applies to the personal information we collect from California residents that use our websites https://www.comfortsoul.com/, including applicants for job openings with ComfortSoul. 

 

Please note that this Notice is a supplement to our Privacy Policy, which can be viewed here.  We encourage you to review our Privacy Policy.

Your Rights Under the CCPA

 

The CCPA provides California residents with the rights discussed below. For convenience, and as required by the CCPA, we explain how you can exercise those rights, to the extent they are applicable.

 

  1. Right to Request Access Information. You have the right to request that we disclose certain information about our collection and use of your personal information during the past 12 months.  Specifically, you may request that we disclose:
  • The categories of personal information we collected about you;
  • The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you;
  • The business and commercial purposes for collecting your personal information;
  • The categories of third parties with whom we shared your personal information;
  • The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you; and
  • If we disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, the categories of personal information received by each category of third party.

 

  1. Right to Data Portability. You have the right to request that we provide copies of the specific pieces of personal information we collected about you.  If a verifiable consumer request is made, and subject to any exceptions or limitations under the CCPA, we will take steps to deliver the personal information to you either by mail or electronically.  If we provide the information to you electronically, it will be in a portable and readily useable format, to the extent technically feasible.

 

  1. Right to Request Deletion. You have the right to request that we delete personal information we collected from you, subject to any exceptions or limitations under the CCPA.

To exercise the rights described above, you—or someone authorized to act on your behalf—must submit a verifiable consumer request to us by calling us at 877-266-7685,submitting a request online, or sending us a letter at 1300 John Reed Ct, Ste D, City of Industry, CA 91745.

The CCPA requires us to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days, but permits us to extend that period by an additional 45 days, provided we notify you of the reason for the extension in writing.  We will notify you that we have received your request within 10 days of its receipt.  In general, we will not charge a fee to respond to a verifiable request, unless it is excessive, repetitive, or unfounded. 

 

Our Commitment Not to Discriminate

 

If a California resident exercises the rights discussed above, consistent with the CCPA, we will not discriminate against that resident by denying goods or services, charging different prices or rates for goods or services, providing different levels or quality of goods or services, or suggesting that the resident will receive a different price, rate, or quality of goods or services.
