California Privacy Policy

Effective: April 7, 2020

California Consumer Privacy Act

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives California consumers enhanced rights with respect to their personal information that is collected by businesses that operate in California. The CCPA provides California consumers with three rights regarding their personal information.

First, California consumers can opt out of the sale of their personal Information. However, we do not sell your personal information.

Second, California consumers can request to know:

  • What specific pieces of information a business has collected about the consumer;

  • Categories of personal information it has collected about the consumer;

  • Categories of sources from which the personal information is collected;

  • Categories of personal information that the business sold or disclosed for a business purpose about the consumer;

  • Categories of third parties to whom the personal information was sold or disclosed for a business purpose; and

  • The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling personal information.

Third, California consumers can request that a business delete personal information about the consumer that a business has collected from the consumer.

Although we are not yet a covered business under the CCPA, we have taken steps to comply with the CCPA regarding our collecting and processing of personal information of California consumers. The CCPA also prohibits covered businesses from providing discriminatory treatment to California consumers if they exercise their rights under the CCPA.

In the preceding twelve months we have: (1) collected the following categories of personal information; and (2) disclosed such categories of personal information for a business purpose. (For the categories of third parties with whom we may disclose or sell personal information, please see the section in the Privacy Policy, “Information We May Share and with Whom”.)

You can see all of User Content and any personal information about you that could potentially be shared in the Vault section in the Nametag mobile application (Menu > My Vault). You can also delete all of that information and all of the sources for that information within the mobile application (Menu > Destroy Vault).

Alternatively, you can submit a “Request to Know” or “Request to Delete” directly to us via email at privacy@nametag.co. (Please put either “Request to Know” or “Request to Delete” in the subject line.) We will confirm receipt of your request within 10 business days. We must provide the requested information or delete your personal information within 45 days of receipt of your request, but we can use up to an additional 45 days if we let you know that additional time is needed. Authorized agents may also contact us via email at privacy@nametag.co where they are inquiring on behalf of a California Consumer.

Before responding, we must verify that the person making the request is the person about whom we have collected their personal information. We may ask you to provide certain, limited personal information, such as your name and email address to verify and match your identity with our records and systems. If you have an account with us, we may ask that you verify your identity through our account authentication process. This is also to protect against fraud. We will not retain this personal information or use it for any other purpose. Also please be advised that we need to search our records and systems only for the preceding 12 months. There may be cases where we do not have any personal information about you, or we are not able to verify your identity for matching purposes. Deleting your personal information may result in the closing of your account and inability to access the Services. However, you can always re-register at any time. (Residents of Nevada and other states may also have similar rights to request information about or delete their personal information.)
