CCPA Compliance Statement

Introduction to CCPA Compliance

Ballcard Genius values the privacy and security of our users’ data, especially data pertaining to residents of California, in accordance with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). This section of our Privacy Policy outlines the rights granted to California residents and explains how to exercise those rights.

Information We Collect

Under the CCPA, personal information refers to any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household. As detailed in our Privacy Policy, we collect various types of personal information for different purposes.

Your Rights Under CCPA

As a California resident, the CCPA grants you the following rights:

• The right to know what personal information is being collected about you.
• The right to know whether your personal information is sold or disclosed and to whom.
• The right to say no to the sale of personal information.
• The right to access your personal information.
• The right to equal service and price, even if you exercise your privacy rights under the CCPA.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise the rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by:

• Emailing us at hello@ballcardgenius.com with the subject line “CCPA Request”.

Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

The request must:

• 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. We will only use personal information provided in a request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt.

If you are a California resident, you may request that we provide to you (i) a list of the categories of personal information about you that Ballcard Genius has disclosed to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes during the calendar year preceding your request, (ii) the names and addresses of such third parties, and (iii) if the nature of the third parties’ business cannot reasonably be determined from their names, examples of the products or services marketed, if known to Ballcard Genius, sufficient to give you a reasonable indication of the nature of the third parties’ business. To submit your request, please email hello@ballcardgenius.com with the subject line “California Privacy” and your request in the body of your email.

Shine the Light Compliance

Introduction to Shine the Light Compliance

In addition to our commitments under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), Ballcard Genius acknowledges and adheres to the California Civil Code Section 1798.83, known as the “Shine the Light” law. This section explains the rights granted to California residents under this law and how to exercise them.

Your Rights Under Shine the Light

As a California resident, you have the right to request and receive from us, once a year and free of charge, information about categories of personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes and the names and addresses of all third parties with which we shared personal information in the immediately preceding calendar year. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please submit your request in writing to:

Email: hello@ballcardgenius.com
Subject: Shine the Light Request

Please include your full name, address, and specifically state that your request is regarding your rights under the Shine the Light law.

Verification Process

Upon receiving your request, we may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before providing the detailed information. The verification process is crucial to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to anyone who does not have the right to receive it.

Response to Requests

After verifying your request, we will provide you with the requested information or a response that we did not engage in such sharing during the specified period. We aim to respond to these requests within a reasonable timeframe, as dictated by the law.
