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.

Right to Know and Data Portability
You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your Personal Information over the past 12 months (the "right to know"). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete section above), we will disclose to you:

• The categories of Personal Information we collected about you.
• The categories of sources for the Personal Information we collected about you.
• Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that Personal Information.
• The categories of third parties with whom we share that Personal Information.
• If we sold or disclosed your Personal Information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing:
• sales, identifying the Personal Information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and
• disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the Personal Information categories that each category of recipient obtained.
• The specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).

Right to Delete or Correct
You have the right to request that we delete or correct any of your Personal Information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete section below), we will review your request to see if an exception allowing us to retain the information applies. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

• Complete the transaction for which the personal information was collected, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, provide a good or service requested by the consumer, or reasonably anticipated by the consumer within the context of a business’ ongoing business relationship with the consumer, or otherwise perform a contract between the business and the consumer.
• Help to ensure security and integrity to the extent the use of the consumer’s personal information is reasonably necessary and proportionate for those purposes.
• Debug to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
• Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise that consumer’s right of free speech, or exercise another right provided for by law.
• Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act pursuant to Chapter 3.6 (commencing with Section 1546) of Title 12 of Part 2 of the Penal Code.
• Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research that conforms or adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the business’ deletion of the information is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the ability to complete such research, if the consumer has provided informed consent.
• Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with the expectations of the consumer based on the consumer’s relationship with the business and compatible with the context in which the consumer provided the information.
• Comply with a legal obligation.

We will delete or deidentify Personal Information not subject to one of these exceptions from our records and will direct our service providers to take similar action.

Exercising Your Rights
To exercise your rights to know or delete described above, please submit a request by either:

• Calling us at 1-844-692-7336.

• Emailing us at hello@follain.com.

You may only submit a request to know twice within a 12-month period. Your request to know or delete must:

• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative, which may include:
  • Identifying recently purchased items.
  • Specifying the date of a recent order and/or the dollar amounts of recent purchases.
  • A signed declaration under penalty of perjury that the requestor is the consumer whose Personal Information is the subject of the request.
  • Parents and guardians will be required to match at least three (3) pieces of Personal Information we have pertaining to their child, and they must submit a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that the requestor is the parent and/or legal guardian of the consumer whose Personal Information is the subject of the request.
• 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.

You do not need to create an account with us to submit a request to know or delete.

We will only use Personal Information provided in the request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make it.

Response Timing and Format
We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) business days. If you do not receive confirmation within the 10-day timeframe, please email hello@follain.com.

We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, 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 our receipt of your request. 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[, specifically a .csv file format of your product order(s) history.

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.

 

Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights
If you are age 16 or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell your Personal Information at any time (the "right to opt-out"). To exercise the right to opt-out, you (or your authorized representative) can update your preferences on the cookie pop-up on our website. Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to reauthorize Personal Information sales. However, you may change your mind and opt back in to Personal Information sales at any time by emailing us at hello@follain.com with the subject line “Opt In Notice” so that we may document in writing your affirmative authorization of Personal Information sales. We will, however, contact you upon receiving your email solely to verify that you are authorizing such sales before we honor your request to opt back in.

You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights. We will only use Personal Information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request.

We do not knowingly sell the Personal Information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years old. If you are under the age of 16 years of age, please do not use our Website or submit any Personal Information to us. If you are the parent or guardian of a person between the ages of 13 and 15, please inform us at hello@follain.com so that we may discuss with you whether you wish to provide affirmative authorization (the "right to opt-in") for us to sell information based on your child’s use of the Website and its features. Consumers who opt-in to Personal Information sales may opt-out of future sales at any time. Under no circumstances, however, is our Website to be used by any consumer under the age of 16 before we are contacted so that we may obtain affirmative authorization to collect Personal Information from you.

 

Sensitive Personal Information
You may have the right to limit the use of Sensitive Personal Information. Currently, we do not collect any Sensitive Personal Information.

Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

• Deny you goods or services.
• Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
• Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
• Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

 

Third Party Marketing
California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits our users who are California residents to request and obtain from us a list of what Personal Information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year and the names and addresses of those third parties. We do not currently disclose Personal Information protected under this section to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.
