4. Verifiable Consumer Requests for Information

Upon verification of identity, California residents may in some cases request that a business:

  • Disclose the categories of personal information the business collected about the consumer;
  • Disclose the categories of sources from which the personal information is collected
  • Disclose the categories of personal information that the business sold about the consumer;
  • Disclose the categories of personal information that the business disclosed about the consumer for a business purpose;
  • Disclose the categories of third parties with whom the business shares personal information
  • Disclose specific pieces of personal information the business has collected about the consumer
  • Disclose any financial incentives offered by the business for collection, sale, or deletion of personal information

Businesses that provide information requested pursuant to the CCPA must provide such information in a readily useable format and allow consumers to transmit the information from one entity to another without hindrance.

A business may charge a different price or rate, or provide a different level or quality of goods or services to you, if that difference is reasonably related to the value provided to you by your personal information.

Please note that we are not required to:

  • Carry out information access requests we receive from you if acting as a service provider to another entity regarding such information
  • Retain any personal information about you that was collected for a single one-time transaction if, in the ordinary course of business, that information about you is not retained;
  • Reidentify or otherwise link any data that, in the ordinary course of business, is not maintained in a manner that would be considered personal information; or
  • Provide requested information if a CCPA or applicable exception applies.

5. Right to Request Deletion of Personal Information

Upon verification of identity, California residents may in some cases request that a business delete personal information collected from them, subject to certain exceptions.

We may deny your deletion request if we are acting in the role of a service provider to another business regarding the applicable personal information. If we deny your request on that basis, we will generally refer you to the relevant business. In addition, we may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our client to:

  • Complete the transaction for which the personal information was collected, provide a good or service requested by you, as reasonably anticipated within the context of your relationship with the relevant business, or otherwise perform a contract between you and the business.
  • Detect 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 his or her right of free speech, or exercise another right provided for by law.
  • Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act.
  • Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when our deletion of the information is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of such research, provided we have obtained your informed consent.
  • Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with your expectations based on your relationship with the relevant business.
  • Comply with a legal obligation.
  • Otherwise use your personal information internally in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which you provided the information; or
  • If another CCPA or applicable exception applies.

California residents may obtain more information about verifiable requests pursuant to the CCPA by contacting us at CCPA@alltran.com, or calling 800-326-8040, or by mail at Alltran 5800 N Course Dr. Houston, TX 77072

6. Verifying Your Identity If You Submit CCPA Requests

If you choose to contact us directly via the designated methods described above to exercise your CCPA rights, you will need to:

  • Provide enough information to reasonably identify you [(e.g., your full name, account number if applicable, and potentially other identifying information]; and
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail to allow us to properly process and respond to your request.

In addition to the exceptions described in this Notice, we are not obligated to make an information disclosure or carry out a deletion request pursuant to the CCPA if we cannot sufficiently verify the identity of the requestor.

If seeking to make a verifiable request under the CCPA on behalf of someone else, we require enough information to reasonably identify the subject of the request (including name and other identifying information) and the subject’s written consent to make the CCPA request on his or her behalf, as consistent with applicable law.

Any personal information we collect from you in order to verify your identity in connection with your CCPA request will be used solely for the purposes of verification.
