Your California Privacy Rights
This section of our Privacy Notice applies to consumers who reside in California. We adopt this section to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”).
If you are a California resident, you may be able to exercise the following rights. We will honor requests received to the extent required by applicable law and within the time provided by law.
Right to Access and Know
You have the right to request that we disclose to you the categories and/or specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you. Specifically, you have the right to request that we disclose the following to you, in the twelve-month period preceding your request:

Right to Deletion
You have the right to request that we delete Personal Information about you that we have collected from you.
As permitted by the CCPA, if you request deletion of Personal Information that we have collected about you, we, our service providers, and our contractors may be unable to comply with such a request if your Personal Information is necessary to:
- Complete the transaction for which the Personal Information was collected, provide a good or service requested by you, or reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform a contract between us and you;
- Prevent, detect, and investigate security incidents, protect against malicious deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; or prosecute those responsible for that activity;
- Debug to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality;
- Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another Consumer to exercise their right of free speech, or exercise another right provided for by law;

- Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with your expectations based on your relationship with us; or
- Comply with a legal obligation.
Right to Correct
You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate information that we maintain about you.
Right to Opt-Out
You have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of Personal Information.

We process opt-out preference signals by the consumer (i.e., whether the signal applies to the device, browser, and/or offline sales, and in what circumstances) and how the consumer can use an opt-out preference signal. You may implement opt-out preference signals here: Do Not Sell or Share my Personal Information.
Right to Limit the Use or Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information
To the extent that we use or disclose Sensitive Personal Information for reasons other than those listed in the CCPA, you have the right to limit that use or disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information. We do not use Sensitive Personal Information for reasons other than those listed in the CCPA.

Rather than delete your data, we might de-identify it by removing identifying details.
How to Exercise Your California Privacy Rights
You or your authorized agent may make a request to access, correct, delete or opt-out of the disclosure of your Personal Information for business purposes.

Cookies
You can opt-out of cookies by (a) enabling a universal opt-out mechanism or preference signal, such as Global Privacy Control (GPC) on your browser which is recognized by our U.S.-facing websites or (b) opting-out of cookies in our U.S.-facing websites’ cookie preference center.

There is no universally agreed-upon standard for what an organization should do when it detects a DNT signal. Currently, we do not monitor or take any action with respect to these signals or other mechanisms. Learn more about Do Not Track here.
Universal Opt-Out Mechanism
Some browsers and browser extensions support a universal opt-out mechanism or preference signal, such as the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) that can send a signal to the websites you visit indicating your choice to opt-out from certain types of data processing, including data sales. In certain territories, when we detect such a signal, we will make reasonable efforts to respect your choices indicated by a GPC setting as required by applicable law.

Retention of Personal Information
Goldberg Segalla will retain your Personal Information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, as well to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes and enforce our legal agreements and policies. All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers or those of our third-party data storage providers.
In some circumstances we may choose to anonymize your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
When deciding how long to keep your information, we consider:
- How long we have had a relationship with you or provided our Services to you;
- Whether we are subject to any legal obligations (e.g., any laws that require us to keep records for a certain period of time before we can delete them);
- Whether we have taken any legal positions (e.g., in connection with any statutes of limitation).
Rather than delete your data, we might de-identify it by removing identifying details.
How to Exercise Your California Privacy Rights
You or your authorized agent may make a request to access, correct, delete or opt-out of the disclosure of your Personal Information for business purposes.

- Calling us at 1.800.206.5524
- Mailing us at: Goldberg Segalla, Attn: Privacy

Please note that we may take steps to verify your identity and residency before granting you access to information or acting on your request to exercise your rights. This might include asking for your email address. If you are requesting specific pieces of Personal Information that we have collected about you, you will also be required to email us at privacy@GoldbergSegalla.com a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that you are a California resident and that you are the consumer whose Personal Information is the subject of the request. Note that we will not process your request to disclose specific pieces of information we have about you until we receive this signed declaration, and your request will not be considered timely submitted until we have this document in our possession.
If you use an authorized agent to exercise your rights, we may require proof of written authorization you have given the authorized agent to make the request on your behalf.
We may limit our response to your exercise of the above rights as permitted by law. We will confirm receipt of the request within 10 business days describing our verification process. We will respond to your request within 45 days or let you know if we need additional time.
Data Sharing for Direct Marketing Purposes
California Civil Code § 1798.83 permits California residents to request information regarding our disclosure of Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. If you are a California resident, you may ask us to refrain from sharing your Personal Information with certain of our affiliates and other third parties for their marketing purposes. Please tell us your preference by contacting us using the information in the Contact Us section below.
