7. Data Retention
We retain Personal Data about you for as long as necessary to provide you with our Services or to perform our business or commercial purposes as disclosed in this Privacy Policy. When establishing a retention period for specific categories of data, we consider who we collected the data from, our need for the Personal Data, why we collected the Personal Data, and the sensitivity of the Personal Data. In some cases we retain Personal Data for longer, if doing so is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes or collect fees owed, or is otherwise permitted or required by applicable law, rule or regulation.

For example, your profile information is kept while your account is active.
8. Personal Data of Children
We do not knowingly collect data from children under 18, and you should not attempt to create an account with Optery or use the Services if you are under the age of 18. Contact support@optery.com if you believe a child has provided Optery with Personal Data.
9. California Resident Rights (“CCPA”)
If you are a California resident, you have the rights set forth in this section. Please see the “Exercising Your Rights under the State Privacy Laws” section below for instructions regarding how to exercise these rights. Please note that we may process Personal Data of our customers’ end users or employees in connection with our provision of certain services to our customers. If we are processing your Personal Data as a service provider, you should contact the entity that collected your Personal Data in the first instance to address your rights with respect to such data. Additionally, please note that these rights are subject to certain conditions and exceptions under applicable law, which may permit or require us to deny your request.
If there are any conflicts between this section and any other provision of this Privacy Policy and you are a California resident, the portion that is more protective of Personal Data shall control to the extent of such conflict. If you would like to make requests pursuant to your rights as defined in the CCPA, please contact us at support@optery.com and address your email to the “Data Privacy Officer of the Company”.
Access
You have the right to request certain information about our collection and use of your Personal Data. In response, we will provide you with the following information in the past 12 months:
• The categories of Personal Data that we have collected about you.
• The categories of sources from which that Personal Data was collected.
• The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling your Personal Data.
• The categories of third parties with whom we have shared your Personal Data.
• The specific pieces of Personal Data that we have collected about you.
If we have disclosed your Personal Data to any third parties for a business purpose over the past 12 months, we will identify the categories of Personal Data shared with each category of third-party recipient. If we have sold your Personal Data over the past 12 months, we will identify the categories of Personal Data sold to each category of third-party recipient.
You may request the above information beyond the 12-month period, but no earlier than January 1, 2022. If you do make such a request, we are required to provide that information unless doing so proves impossible or would involve disproportionate effort.
Deletion
You have the right to request that we delete the Personal Data that we have collected about you. Under the CCPA, this right is subject to certain exceptions: for example, we may need to retain your Personal Data to provide you with the Services or complete a transaction or other action you have requested, or if deletion of your Personal Data involves disproportionate effort. If your deletion request is subject to one of these exceptions, we may deny your deletion request.
Correction
You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate Personal Data we have collected about you. Under the CCPA, this right is subject to certain exceptions: for example, if we decide, based on the totality of circumstances related to your Personal Data, that such data is correct. If your correction request is subject to one of these exceptions, we may deny your request.
Personal Data Sales and Shares Opt-Out
Optery does not ‘sell’ or ‘share’ any data for monetary consideration, and does not “sell” or “share” data as those words are traditionally defined.
However, Optery does engage in the delivery of retargeted digital advertising with vendors such as Google, which, under the CCPA, may be considered “selling” or “sharing” of information. Therefore, based on a conservative interpretation of the CCPA’s definition of ‘data sales’ and ‘data sharing’, we may sell and/or share your Personal Data, subject to your right to opt-out as described in this section.
We do not sell or share your Personal Data in any other way than through our digital advertising campaigns with vendors such as Google. As described in the “Tracking Tools, Advertising and Opt-Out” section above, we have incorporated Cookies from certain third parties into our Services. These Cookies allow those third parties to receive information about your activity on our Services that is associated with your browser or device. Those third parties may use that data to serve you relevant ads on our Services or on other websites you visit. You can opt out by following the instructions in this section.
According to a conservative interpretation of the CCPA’s definition of ‘selling’ and ‘sharing’, we may sell or share your Personal Data to the following categories of third parties:
• Ad Networks
• Marketing providers
According to a conservative interpretation of the CCPA’s definition of ‘selling’ and ‘sharing’, over the past 12 months, we may have sold or shared the following categories of your Personal Data to categories of third parties listed above:
• Web Analytics
• Device/IP Data
• Geolocation Data
According to a conservative interpretation of the CCPA’s definition of ‘selling’ and ‘sharing’, we may have sold or shared the foregoing categories of Personal Data for the following business or commercial purposes:
• Marketing and selling the Services.
• Showing you advertisements, including interest-based or online behavioral advertising.
You have the right to opt-out of the sale or share of your Personal Data by following the instructions in the “Exercising Your Rights under State Privacy Laws” section. Once you have submitted an opt-out request, we will not ask you to reauthorize the sale of your Personal Data for at least 12 months.
To our knowledge, we do not sell or share the Personal Data of minors under 18 years of age.
Limit the Use of Sensitive Personal Information
Consumers have the right to request that we limit the use or sharing disclosure of their Sensitive Personal Information (“Right to Limit”). However, since our use and disclosure of Sensitive Information are limited to the purposes set forth in section 7027(m) of the CCPA regulations, including: 1) performing the services or providing the goods reasonably expected, 2) preventing, detecting, and investigating security incidents, 3) resisting malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal actions, 4) ensuring physical safety of natural persons, 5) for short-term transient use, 6) performing services on behalf of the business, 7) verifying or maintaining quality or safety of a product or service, and 8) collecting or processing Sensitive Personal Information but not for the purpose of inferring characteristics, we do not offer a way for you to submit such a request.
We Will Not Discriminate Against You for Exercising Your Rights Under the CCPA
We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights under the CCPA. We will not deny you our goods or services, charge you different prices or rates, or provide you a lower quality of goods and services if you exercise your rights under the CCPA. However, we may offer different tiers of our Services as allowed by applicable data privacy laws (including the CCPA) with varying prices, rates or levels of quality of the goods or services you receive related to the value of Personal Data that we receive from you.
10. Exercising Your Rights under the State Privacy Laws
To exercise the rights described in this Privacy Policy, you or, if you are a California resident, your Authorized Agent (defined below) must send us a request that (1) provides sufficient information to allow us to verify that you are the person about whom we have collected Personal Data, and (2) describes your request in sufficient detail to allow us to understand, evaluate and respond to it. Each request that meets both of these criteria will be considered a “Valid Request.” We may not respond to requests that do not meet these criteria. We will only use Personal Data provided in a Valid Request to verify your identity and complete your request. You do not need an account to submit a Valid Request.
We will work to respond to your Valid Request within the time period required by applicable law. We will not charge you a fee for making a Valid Request unless your Valid Request(s) is excessive, repetitive or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that your Valid Request warrants a fee, we will notify you of the fee and explain that decision before completing your request.
Request to Opt-Out of Sale and/or Share
You may opt-out from any “sales” or “shares”, by using the following methods:
• By implementing the Global Privacy Control or similar universal privacy control that is legally recognized by a government agency or industry standard and that complies with applicable State Privacy Laws. The signal issued by the control must be initiated by your browser and applies to the specific device and browser you use at the time you cast the signal. Please note this does not include Do Not Track signals. Several companies offer web browsers and extensions that deliver the Global Privacy Control signal, including Optery, which you can learn more about here: https://www.optery.com/the-optery-global-privacy-control-gpc-extension/
Request to Access, Delete, or Correct
You may submit a Valid Request for any other rights afforded to you in this Privacy Policy by emailing us at support@optery.com and address your email to the “Data Privacy Officer of the Company”.
If you are a California resident, you may also authorize an agent (an “Authorized Agent”) to exercise your rights on your behalf. To do this, you must provide your Authorized Agent with written permission to exercise your rights on your behalf, and we may request a copy of this written permission from your Authorized Agent when they make a request on your behalf.
11. Other State Law Privacy Rights
California Resident Rights
Under California Civil Code Sections 1798.83-1798.84, California residents are entitled to contact us to prevent disclosure of Personal Data to third parties for such third parties’ direct marketing purposes; in order to submit such a request, please contact us at support@optery.com and address your email to the “Data Privacy Officer of the Company”.
Your browser may offer you a “Do Not Track” option, which allows you to signal to operators of websites and web applications and services that you do not wish such operators to track certain of your online activities over time and across different websites. Our Services do not support Do Not Track requests at this time. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” you can visit www.allaboutdnt.com.
Nevada Resident Rights
If you are a resident of Nevada, you have the right to opt-out of the sale of certain Personal Data to third parties. You can exercise this right by contacting us at support@optery.com with the subject line “Nevada Do Not Sell Request” and providing us with your name and the email address associated with your account. However, we do not “sell” data as that term is defined under Nevada law.
12. European Union, United Kingdom, and Swiss Data Subject Rights
A. EU and UK Residents
If you are a resident of the European Union (“EU”), United Kingdom (“UK”), Lichtenstein, Norway or Iceland, you may have additional rights under the EU or UK General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”) with respect to your Personal Data, as outlined below.
For this section, we use the terms “Personal Data” and “processing” as they are defined in the GDPR, but “Personal Data” generally means information that can be used to individually identify a person, and “processing” generally covers actions that can be performed in connection with data such as collection, use, storage and disclosure. Optery will be the controller of your Personal Data processed in connection with the Services.
If there are any conflicts between this section and any other provision of this Privacy Policy, the policy or portion that is more protective of Personal Data shall control to the extent of such conflict. If you have any questions about this section or whether any of the following applies to you, please contact us at support@optery.com. Note that we may also process Personal Data of our customers’ end users or employees in connection with our provision of certain services to customers, in which case we are the processor of Personal Data. If we are the processor of your Personal Data (i.e., not the controller), please contact the controller party in the first instance to address your rights with respect to such data.

• Contractual Necessity: We process the following categories of Personal Data as a matter of “contractual necessity”, meaning that we need to process the data to perform under our Terms of Use with you, which enables us to provide you with the Services. When we process data due to contractual necessity, failure to provide such Personal Data will result in your inability to use some or all portions of the Services that require such data.
o Profile and Contact Data

o Marketing the Services.
o Corresponding with you.
o Meeting legal requirements and enforcing legal terms.
o Completing corporate transactions.
• Consent: In some cases, we process Personal Data based on the consent you expressly grant to us at the time we collect such data. When we process Personal Data based on your consent, it will be expressly indicated to you at the point and time of collection.

D. Disclosing Personal Data
The “How We Disclose Your Personal Data” section above details how we disclose your Personal Data with third parties.
E. EU, UK and Swiss Data Subject Rights
You have certain rights with respect to your Personal Data, including those set forth below. For more information about these rights, or to submit a request, please email us at support@optery.com. Please note that in some circumstances, we may not be able to fully comply with your request, such as if it is frivolous or extremely impractical, if it jeopardizes the rights of others, or if it is not required by law, but in those circumstances, we will still respond to notify you of such a decision. In some cases, we may also need you to provide us with additional information, which may include Personal Data, if necessary to verify your identity and the nature of your request.
• Access: You can request more information about the Personal Data we hold about you and request a copy of such Personal Data. You can also access certain of your Personal Data by logging on to your account.
• Rectification: If you believe that any Personal Data we are holding about you is incorrect or incomplete, you can request that we correct or supplement such data. You can also correct some of this information directly by logging on to your account.
• Erasure: You can request that we erase some or all of your Personal Data from our systems.
• Withdrawal of Consent: If we are processing your Personal Data based on your consent (as indicated at the time of collection of such data), you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please note, however, that if you exercise this right, you may have to then provide express consent on a case-by-case basis for the use or disclosure of certain of your Personal Data, if such use or disclosure is necessary to enable you to utilize some or all of our Services.
• Portability: You can ask for a copy of your Personal Data in a machine-readable format. You can also request that we transmit the data to another controller where technically feasible.

F. Transfers of Personal Data
The Services are hosted and operated in the United States (“U.S.”) through Optery and its service providers, and if you do not reside in the U.S., laws in the U.S. may differ from the laws where you reside. By using the Services, you acknowledge that any Personal Data about you, regardless of whether provided by you or obtained from a third party, is being provided to Optery in the U.S. and will be hosted on U.S. servers, and you authorize Optery to transfer, store and process your information to and in the U.S., and possibly other countries.
13. Canadian Data Subject Rights
If you are a Canadian resident, the following applies to you:
In this Privacy Policy, the term “Personal Data” shall be interpreted to mean “personal information” as defined in the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”), the Personal Information Protection Act (British Columbia), the Personal Information Protection Act (Alberta), and the Québec Act Respecting the Protection of Personal Information in the Private Sector (collectively, the “Canadian privacy laws”). Under Canadian privacy laws, “personal information” refers to information that, alone or in combination with other information, identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to an individual.
If there are any conflicts between this section and any other provision of this Privacy Policy, the policy or portion that is more protective of your Personal Data shall control to the extent of such conflict, except for the specific sections providing rights for residents of California, other U.S. States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, which do not apply and are superseded by your Canadian Data Subject Rights herein. If you have questions about this section or whether any of the following applies to you, please contact us at support@optery.com.
Your rights:
You have certain rights with respect to your Personal Data including those set forth below. To protect your integrity and your Personal Data we might require that you identify yourself when you require our assistance. For more information about these rights, or to submit a request, please email us at support@optery.com.
• Access: You can request more information about the Personal Data we hold about you and request a copy of such Personal Data. You can also access certain of your Personal Data by logging on to your account.
• Correction: If you believe that any Personal Data we are holding about you is incorrect or incomplete, you can request that we correct or supplement such data. You can also correct some of this information directly by logging on to your account.
• Withdrawing your Consent: Where you have provided your consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your Personal Data, you may have the legal right to withdraw your consent to the disclosure or use under certain circumstances. Please note that if you withdraw your consent we may not be able to provide you with a particular Service. We will explain the impact to you at the time to help you with your decision.
International Transfer:
The Services are hosted and operated in the United States (“U.S.”) through Optery and its service providers. Please be aware that Personal Data we obtain about you will be transferred to and processed in the United States and possibly other jurisdictions outside of Canada or the province where you reside and may be accessed by the courts, law enforcement and national security authorities in those jurisdictions. By using our Services or otherwise providing your Personal Data to us, you acknowledge and consent to the international transfer and processing of your Personal Data as described in this Privacy Policy. Please be aware that the data protection laws and regulations that apply to your Personal Data transferred to the United States or other countries may be different from the Canadian Privacy Law.
14. Supplemental Privacy Notice for Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa
If you are a resident of Australia, New Zealand, or South Africa, the following additional provisions apply to your use of our Services.
A. Australia (Privacy Act 1988)
- Overseas Disclosure: We disclose your Personal Data to third-party subprocessors and service providers located outside of Australia, primarily in the United States. By using our Services, you acknowledge that while we take reasonable steps to ensure overseas recipients handle your data in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), these recipients may not be subject to the same privacy obligations as those in Australia.
- Anonymity: Given the nature of our Removal Services, it is generally not practicable for us to provide our core services to you anonymously or via a pseudonym, as your actual Profile Data is required to process opt-outs with data brokers.
- Complaints: If you believe we have breached the APPs, please contact our Data Privacy Officer. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at www.oaic.gov.au.
B. New Zealand (Privacy Act 2020)
- Cross-Border Transfers: We only transfer your Personal Data to overseas recipients if we have reason to believe they are subject to privacy laws that provide comparable safeguards to New Zealand’s Privacy Act 2020, or if you have authorized the transfer.
- Serious Harm Breach Notification: In the event of a “notifiable privacy breach” (one that has caused or is likely to cause serious harm to you), we will notify you and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner as soon as practicable after becoming aware of the breach.
- Complaints: New Zealand residents may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner at www.privacy.org.nz if they have concerns about how their Personal Data is being handled.
