Effective Date: January 1, 2024

Civil Code Section 1798.100 et. seq., as amended, and the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CPRA”).   This CA Policy provides you with necessary information about the personal information we collect, how this information may be used by FrankCrum, your privacy rights, and FrankCrum’s obligations in accordance with the aforementioned privacy laws.

This CA Policy supplements the information contained in FrankCrum's Privacy Policy here and applies to all visitors, users, employees, utilized individuals, and others who reside in the State of California ("consumers" or "you"). It applies solely to natural persons residing in California (“Consumers”), and does not apply to individuals living elsewhere, businesses or other corporate entities.  We adopt this notice to comply with the CCPA/CPRA and any terms defined in the CCPA/CPRA have the same meaning when used in this CA Policy.

This CA Policy is a supplement to FrankCrum’s Privacy Policy.  Should this CA Policy conflict with FrankCrum’s Privacy Policy, this CA Policy shall prevail in regards to Consumers and their rights under CCPA/CPRA. 

This CA Policy covers the collection, use, disclosure, sale of Consumers’ Personal Information and Sensitive Personal Information as defined in the CCPA/CPRA. 

Consumer Rights

Right to Access

You have the right to access PI which we may collect or retain about you.  If requested, we shall provide you with a copy of your PI which we collect as permitted by the CCPA/CPRA.

You also have the right to receive your PI in a structured and commonly used format so that it can be transferred to another entity (“Data portability”).

Do Not Share or Disclose My Sensitive Personal Information

You have the right to limit how your SPI is disclosed or shared with third parties, as defined in the CCPA/CPRA.

Right to Deletion

Please note that the above rights are not absolute and we may be entitled to refuse requests, wholly or in part, where exceptions under applicable law apply.

Exercising Your Rights

If you are a California resident, you can exercise any of your rights as described in this CA Policy and under applicable privacy laws by using the contact information provided in this CA Policy.  We will not discriminate against you for exercising such rights.  Except as described in this CA Policy or provided for under applicable privacy laws, there is no charge to exercise your legal rights.

However, if your requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character, we may:

• Charge a reasonable fee taking into account the administrative costs of providing the information or taking the action requested; or
• Refuse to act on the request and notify you of the reason for refusing the request.

Verifying Consumer Requests

Any request you submit to us is subject to an identification and residency verification process, defined as a Verifiable Consumer Request under CCPA/CPRA.  This process may consist of our Privacy Team verifying your identity through established processes or asking you to confirm information previously submitted to FrankCrum.

We are unable to complete your request unless you have provided sufficient information for us to reasonably verify you are the Consumer about whom we collected personal information.  Please follow the instructions on our Subject Access Request Form and respond timely to any inquiries we make.  You may also contact the Privacy Team at Privacy@frankcrum.com or 1-800-393-0815, Option 21.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period.  The verifiable consumer request must:

• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collect personal information or an authorized representative.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.  If we cannot comply with your request, we will explain the reason in our response.  You are not required to create an account with us to make a request.  We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.  We will track and document request responses, unless you also give personal information to us for another purpose.

We make commercially reasonable efforts to identify personal information collected, processed, stored, disclosed, or otherwise used to respond to your Consumer Privacy Rights request.

• Category B: California Customer Records personal information categories.
• Category C: Protected classification characteristics under California or federal law.

Sales of Personal Information/Opt-outs

In the preceding twelve (12) months, FrankCrum believes there has been no sale of personal information as defined under CCPA/CPRA.  Should that change in the future, FrankCrum will update this Notice and provide a method to opt-out of a sale.  Until that time, we will treat all personal information as under a Do Not Sell request.  We will endeavor to restrict use of your personal information to only the business purpose for which it was collected with that associated service provider. If you direct us to share your personal information, these requests are not sales.  Further, the exchange of your personal information in between our Corporate entities is not considered a sale.

Do Not Track (DNT) is a privacy preference that can be set on your browser if you do not want web services to collect information about your online activity.  However, there is currently no universal standard for sending and receiving DNT signals. Due to this lack of universal standard, it would be impossible for us to promise that we comply with all known and unknown DNT standards.  Therefore, we do not believe these constitute a Do Not Sell request by you. 

Your Rights and Choices

The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

Consumers have the right to exercise these rights through an authorized agent who meets the requirements under the CCPA.  Any request you submit to us is subject to an identification and residency verification process, defined as a Verifiable Consumer Request under CCPA.  An authorized agent shall submit a request as noted below and FrankCrum will forward the necessary form for the consumer’s completion under the CCPA.  The Authorized Agent may then submit the Authorized Agent form along with the request.  If the Authorized Agent holds a power of attorney (POA), the POA may be submitted instead of the Authorized Agent form.

Any request you submit to us is subject to an identification and residency verification process, defined as a Verifiable Consumer Request under CCPA.  This process may consist of our Privacy Team verifying your identity through established processes or asking you to confirm information previously submitted to FrankCrum.

We are unable to complete your request unless you have provided sufficient information for us to reasonably verify you are the Consumer about whom we collected personal information.  Please follow the instructions on our Subject Access Request Form and respond timely to any inquiries we make.  You may also contact the Privacy Team at Privacy@FrankCrum.com or 1-800-393-0815, Option 21.

• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.
• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.  If we cannot comply with your request, we will explain the reason in our response.  You are not required to create an account with us to make a request.  We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

It is vital to note that we will not deliver to you your social security number, drivers’ license number or other government-issued identification number, account password, or security questions or answers in response to your request.  These items will be redacted in the interest of security of your personal information.  If you do have an account with us, you may be able to access some of this personal information by logging into your account.
