Selling and Sharing (for Targeted Advertisement) of Personal Information

Some transfers of information with affiliated companies, even for the benefit of those affiliated companies, are not “sales” or “sharing.”

The chart below shows the categories of Personal Information we sell (as defined herein) or that we have sold in the past 12 months, the categories of third parties to whom we have sold Personal Information and the purpose for the sale of the Personal Information.

We will retain each category of your Personal Information identified above for an amount of time that is reasonably necessary for us to use the information for the purposes disclosed herein and for any other permitted purposes, including retention of Personal Information pursuant to any applicable contract, law or regulation.  To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the purposes for which we process your Personal Information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

6.              Data Security.

We implement technical, organizational, administrative and physical measures to help ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk to the Personal Information we collect, use, process and disclose. These measures are aimed at ensuring the on-going integrity and confidentiality of Personal Information.  We evaluate these measures on a regular basis to help ensure the security of the processing.  Please be aware that, despite our ongoing efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.

Verification of Consumer Requests

For California or Texas residents seeking to opt-out of the sale or sharing (both as defined by law) of Personal Information, please use the link provided above.

For all other requests, you may submit a request via email to compliance@Threadwell.com or by calling us at (800) 778-2791. When you make a request to know, delete and/or correct, to help protect your privacy and maintain security, we will take steps to verify your identity.  Our verification procedure may differ depending on whether you have an account with us or not and the request you are making.  The following generally describes the verification processes we use:

• Password Protected Accounts.  If you have a password-protected account with us, we may use existing authentication practices to verify your identity but will require re-authentication before disclosing, correcting or deleting data.  If we suspect fraudulent or malicious activity relating to your account, we will require further verification (as described below) before complying with a request to know, correct or delete.

• Verification for Non-Accountholders.  If you do not have, or cannot access, a password-protected account with us, we will generally verify your identity as follows:

  • For valid requests to know categories of Personal Information, we will verify your identity to a reasonable degree of certainty by matching at least two data points provided by you with reliable data points maintained by us.

  • For valid requests to know specific pieces of Personal Information, right of access and right to data portability, we will verify your identity to a reasonably high degree of certainty by matching at least three data points provided by you with reliable data points maintained by us.

  • For valid requests to correct or delete Personal Information, we will verify your identity to a reasonable degree or a reasonably high degree of certainty depending on the sensitivity of the Personal Information and the risk of harm posed by unauthorized deletion.  We will act in good faith when determining the appropriate standard to apply.

If there is no reasonable method by which we can verify your identity, we will state so in response, including an explanation of why we have no reasonable method to verify your identity.

We may also require a declaration, signed under penalty of perjury, that the person requesting the information is the person whose information is the subject of the request or that person’s authorized representative.

If you use an authorized agent to submit a request to know, delete or correct, we may require the authorized agent to provide proof that you gave the agent signed permission to submit the request. We may also require you to do either of the following: (a) verify your own identity directly with us; or (b) directly confirm with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request.

There may be situations where we cannot grant your request.  For example, if you ask us to delete Personal Information that we are obligated to keep complying with applicable law we may not be able to fulfill some or all of your request. We may also decline to grant your request where our use of your Personal Information serves a legitimate purpose such as for security purposes.  Your request may also be denied if it compromises the privacy of others, is overly repetitive or extremely burdensome to fulfill.

We will respond to valid requests to know, requests to delete and / or delete no later than 45 calendar days.  If we cannot verify your request within 45 days, we may deny your request.  If necessary, we may take up to an additional 45 days to respond to your request but in such an event will provide you a notice and an explanation of the reason that we will take more than 45 days to respond to your request.

Valid requests under “Right of Access” and “Right to Data Portability” will be transmitted securely. If we cannot fulfill your request, we will notify you of that decision and the reasons why within 45 days. At that point if you believe our decision was in error, you may have the right to submit an appeal using the method(s) above.  If the result is the same, you can also seek assistance and/or redress from your state attorney general.
