Your Rights and Choices
The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their
personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise
those rights.
Right to Know and Data Portability
You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and
use of your personal information over the past 12 months (the "right to know"). Once we receive
your request and confirm your identity (see Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete ), we will
disclose to you:
· The categories of personal information we collected about you.
· The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
· Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
· The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.

purchased; and

that each category of recipient obtained.
· The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data
portability request).
Right to Delete
You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected
from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions (the "right to delete"). Once we receive your
request and confirm your identity (see Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete ), we will
review your request to see if an exception allowing us to retain the information applies. We may
deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service
provider(s) to:
1. Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good
or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of
5
our ongoing business relationship with you, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or
product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, or otherwise perform our
contract with you.
2. Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal
activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
3. Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
4. Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech
rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
5. Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code §
1546 et. seq.).
6. Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the
public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the
information's deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research's
achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
7. Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based
on your relationship with us.
8. Comply with a legal obligation.
9. Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the

We will delete or deidentify personal information not subject to one of these exceptions from our
records and will direct our service providers to take similar action.
We do not provide these deletion rights for B2B personal information.

to opt-in") from either the consumer who is between 13 and 15 years old, or the parent or
guardian of a consumer less than 13 years old. Consumers who opt-in to personal information
sales may opt-out of future sales at any time.
· To exercise the right to opt-out, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a
request to us by sending an email to us at: info@lediplomateofficial.com with the title

reauthorize personal information sales. However, you may change your mind and opt back in to
personal information sales at any time by sending an email to us at:

in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will
reasonably relate to your personal information's value and contain written terms that describe the
8
program's material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt-
in consent, which you may revoke at any time.
