- Right to Know. You have the right to request: (1) the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you; (2) the categories of personal information we have collected about you; (3) the categories of sources from which the personal information is collected; (4) the categories of personal information about you that we have sold or shared and the categories of third parties to whom the personal information was sold or shared; (5) the categories of personal information about you that we disclosed for a business purpose and the categories of third parties to whom the personal information was disclosed for a business purpose; (6) the business or commercial purpose for collecting, disclosing, selling, or sharing personal information; and (7) the categories of third parties to whom we disclose personal information. Our response will cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of a verifiable request unless a longer period is requested by you.
- Right to Delete. You have a right to request the erasure/deletion of certain personal information collected or maintained by us. As described herein, we will delete your personal information from our records and, as applicable, notify any service providers and contractors (as defined under applicable law) to delete your personal information from their records. However, we are not required to honor a deletion request if an exemption applies under the law.

You have a right to correct inaccuracies in your personal information, taking into account the nature of the personal information and the purposes for which we process the personal information. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the inaccurate personal information as directed by you.
- Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information. You have the right to limit our use and disclosure of your sensitive personal information to that use which is necessary to perform our services and provide our goods as requested by you, or as otherwise permitted by law. We only use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes permitted by the CCPA and to which the right to limit does not apply.

For purposes of the CCPA in the context of our employment or contractual relationship with you, we do not sell or share personal information as defined under applicable law.
Submission Process. You may submit a request to exercise one of the above rights via a toll-free telephone call to 800.967.2289, or by email to legal@obhg.com. If a request is submitted in an incorrect manner or if it is deficient, we will either (1) treat the request as if it had been submitted via the designated manner, or (2) provide you with specific directions on how to submit the request or remedy any deficiencies, as applicable.
Verification Process. We are required to verify the identities of those who submit requests to exercise certain of the above rights. To determine whether the individual making the request is the consumer about whom we have collected information, we will verify your identity by matching the identifying information provided by you in the request to the personal information that we already maintain about you. As a part of this process, you will be required to provide your name, email address, mailing address, and/or telephone number. We will inform you if we cannot verify your identity.
- If we cannot verify the identity of the person making a request for categories of personal information, we may deny the request. If the request is denied in whole or in part for this reason, we will provide a copy of, or direct you to, our Privacy Policy.
- If we cannot verify the identity of the person making the request for specific pieces of personal information, we are prohibited from disclosing any specific pieces of personal information to the requestor. However, if denied in whole or in part for this reason, we will evaluate the request as if it is seeking the disclosure of categories of personal information about the consumer.
- If we cannot verify the identity of the person making a request to delete, we may deny the request.
- If there is no reasonable method by which we can verify the identity of the requestor to the degree of certainty required, we will state this in our response and explain why we have no reasonable method by which we can verify the identity of the requestor. In such cases we may not be required to comply with the request or may request additional information reasonably necessary to verify the request.
Authorized Agents. Authorized agents may submit requests via the methods identified in this Notice. If you use an authorized agent to submit a request to know or a request to delete, we may require: (1) the authorized agent to provide proof that you gave the agent signed permission to submit the request; (2) you to verify your identity directly with us; and (3) you to directly confirm with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request. However, we may not require these actions with respect to confirmed guardianship, conservatorship, power of attorney, or other protective arrangement in accordance with applicable law.
Excessive Requests. If requests from a consumer are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character, we may either (1) charge a reasonable fee, or (2) refuse to act on the request and notify the consumer of the reason for refusing the request. If we charge a fee, the amount will be based upon the administrative costs of providing the information or communication or taking the action requested.
Non-Discrimination. You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment by us due to your exercise of the above rights. We do not discriminate against individuals for exercising their rights under applicable law.
Appeals Process. Residents of certain states have the right to appeal a refusal to take action on a request within a reasonable time after your receipt of the decision. You may submit an appeal to a decision on your request via a toll-free telephone call to 800.967.2289 or by email to legal@obhg.com. We will inform you of any action taken or not taken in response to the appeal, along with a written explanation of the reasons in support of the response.
OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
How long do we store and use your information? We will keep your information for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with our business requirements and legal obligations, to resolve disputes, to protect our assets, to operate our business, and to enforce our agreements. We take reasonable steps to delete the personal information we collect when (1) we have a legal obligation to do so, (2) we no longer have a purpose for retaining the information, and (3) if you ask us to delete your information, unless we determine that doing so would violate our existing, legitimate legal, regulatory, dispute resolution, contractual, or similar obligations. We may also decide to delete your personal information if we believe it is incomplete, inaccurate, or that our continued storage of your personal information is contrary to our legal obligations or business objectives. When we delete data, it will be removed from our active servers and databases, but it may remain in our archives when it is not practical or possible to delete it. We may retain and use anonymous, de-identified, or aggregated information for as long as is permitted under applicable law. We are required by law to maintain records of certain requests submitted under applicable privacy laws (for example, the CCPA) and how we responded to such requests for at least 24 months. We only use this information for recordkeeping purposes. For more information, please contact us via the “Contact Us” details at the end of this Notice.
How do we protect your information? We have adopted security measures designed to protect the personal information under our control. From time to time, we review our security procedures to consider appropriate new technologies and methods. But no security system is perfect, and no data transmission is 100% secure. Although we strive to protect personal information, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information transmitted to or from us. We cannot guarantee that your data will remain secure in all circumstances. If a data breach compromises your personal information, we will notify you and any applicable regulator when we are required to do so by applicable law.
Updates and Changes. We may add to, change, update, or modify this Notice to reflect any changes to how we treat your information or in response to changes in law. If we update this Notice, we will make an updated copy of it available on our website.
