Your Rights under California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

The California Consumer Privacy Act) (“CCPA”), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), gives California “residents” who are “consumers” specific rights in relation to their “personal information,” as each of those quoted terms are defined in that law. These rights are subject to exceptions and limitations set forth in the CCPA, and the CCPA only applies to certain businesses.

To the extent that the CCPA applies to information collected by us from you in connection with the Conference, this section of the Privacy Policy describes your rights and our procedures in relation to those rights. In particular, if you are a California resident, you may have the rights detailed below with respect to personal information that we collect directly from you or through your interaction with our website:

• Right to know. A California resident who is a consumer has the right to request and know what personal information we collect, use, or disclose, over the 12-month period immediately preceding our receipt of the verifiable consumer request, including specific pieces of that information.
• The categories of personal information we collected about you;
• The categories of sources for the collected personal information;
• Our business purpose in collecting such personal information;
• The categories of third parties to whom we have shared your personal information;
• Specific pieces of personal information we collected; and
• a list of each category of personal information disclosed.
• Right to Delete. You have the right to delete personal information we collect or maintain, subject to certain exceptions and limits set forth in the CCPA.
• Right to Correct Inaccurate personal information. You have the right to request that we update or correct your personal information when it is inaccurate or incomplete.
• Right to Opt Out of the Sale or Sharing of personal information. You have the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information, as well as the sharing of your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
• The Right to Limit the Use of Sensitive personal information. You have the right to limit the use of “sensitive personal information,” as defined in the CPRA, to that which is necessary to perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected by an average consumer who requests such goods or services” or for the performance of specific enumerated business purposes.

You may exercise the rights outlined above by sending us a “verifiable consumer request” by submitting your request to https://help.ncontracts.com/s/ncontractssupport. You may make this request twice in a 12- month period. To verify the identity of persons making a request, you must provide us with (1) your name and email address (we may require more information depending on the circumstances), and (2) a declaration, signed under penalty of perjury, that you are requesting your own Personal Information.

With respect to a request to delete your personal information, you will be required to send us a second request confirming your desire to delete. When the requirements for deletion have been met, we will inform you of the manner in which your personal information has been deleted and will maintain a record of this request, as required by the CCPA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the CCPA provides certain exceptions to your right to delete personal information, and we may deny your request to delete in the event that one or more exceptions apply (e.g., if the personal information is necessary to provide a good or service you have requested or to complete a transaction for which the information was collected).
