Notice for California Users – Your California Privacy Rights

This section is applicable to residents of California. If you are a resident of California, you have certain rights described below. The following do not apply to individuals who do not live in California on a permanent basis.

RIGHTS PROVIDED BY CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1798.83

A California resident who has provided personal data to a business with whom he/she has established a business relationship for personal, family, or household purposes (a “California Customer”) may request information about whether the business has disclosed personal information to any third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. In general, if the business has made such a disclosure of personal data, upon receipt of a request by a California Customer, the business is required to provide a list of all third parties to whom personal data was disclosed in the preceding calendar year, as well as a list of the categories of personal data that were disclosed. California Customers may request further information about our compliance with this law by mailing us at 740 North Wise Drive, Sumter, SC 29153 or emailing us at inquiries@ljs-solutions.com Please note that we are only required to respond to two requests per California Customer each year under Code Section 1798.83.

RIGHTS UNDER THE CALIFORNIA CONSUMER PRIVACY ACT

This section of our Privacy Policy provides California residents with a comprehensive description of our online and offline practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure, and sale of personal information and the rights of California consumers regarding their personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). This section applies to all California residents (but not including legal entities, such as companies). The section will not apply, however, if we do not collect any personal information about you or if all of the information we collect is exempt from the statute (for example, the CCPA does not protect information that is already protected by certain other privacy laws, and it does not protect information that is already publicly available).

You have a Right to Know About Personal Information Collected, Disclosed, or Sold.

California residents have the right to request that we disclose what personal information we collect, use, disclose, and sell. This is called the “Right to Know”. Under the Right to Know, you can request a listing of the types of personal information we have collected about you, the sources of that information, how we use the information (e.g., our business or commercial purposes for collecting or selling personal information), other individuals and business with whom we share personal information, and the specific pieces of personal information that we have collected about you.

If you would like the above information, you may contact us through our webpage or at inquiries@ljs-solutions.com. Contact information is at the bottom of this section. When you make a request under your Right to Know, you can expect the following:

1. We will verify your identity. You will need to provide your full name, email address, and phone number in order for us to verify that you are who you say you are.
2. We will confirm our receipt of your request within 10 days. If you have not received a response within a few days after that, please let us know by contacting us at the webpage or phone number listed below.
3. We will respond to your request within 45 days. If necessary, we may need an additional period of time, up to another 45 days, but we will always reply within the first 45-day period and, if we need an extension, we will explain why.
4. In certain cases, a Request to Know may be denied, for example, if we cannot verify your identity or if providing you the information could create an unreasonable risk to someone’s security (for example, we do not want very sensitive information disclosed inappropriately). If we deny your request, we will explain why we denied it. If we deny a request, we will still try to provide you as much of the information as we can, but we will withhold the information subject to denial.

In the last twelve months, the categories of Personal Information we have collected about you are listed above in the section titled: The Types of Information We Collect.

You have a Right to Request Deletion of Personal Information about You.

California consumers have a right to request the deletion of their personal information collected or maintained by LJS Solutions, LLC. If you would like information about you to be deleted, you may contact us through our webpage or customer service. Contact information is at the bottom of this section. When you make a request for deletion, you can expect the following:

1. After you request deletion, you will need to confirm that you want your information deleted.
2. We will verify your identity. You will need to provide your full name, email address, and phone number in order for us to verify that you are who you say you are.
3. We will confirm our receipt of your request within 10 days. If you have not received a response within a few days after that, please let us know by contacting us at the webpage or phone number listed below.
4. We will respond to your request within 45 days. If necessary, we may need an additional period of time, up to another 45 days, but we will reply either way within the first 45-day period and, if we need an extension, we will explain why.
5. In certain cases, a request for deletion may be denied, for example, if we cannot verify your identity, the law or our ethical obligations require that we maintain the information, or if we need the information for internal purposes such as keeping records of any warranties. If we deny your request, we will explain why we denied it, and delete any other information that is not protected from deletion.

Right to Opt-Out of the Sale of Personal Information

California consumers have a right to opt-out of the sale of their personal information. However, as we do not sell any of your information to anyone for any purpose, we are exempt from these requests.

Right to Non-Discrimination for the Exercise of a Consumer’s Privacy Rights

You have a right not to receive discriminatory treatment by us for exercising any of your privacy rights conferred by the CCPA. We will not discriminate against any California consumer because such person exercised any of the consumer’s rights under CCPA, including, but not limited to:

• Denying services.
• Charging different prices or rates for goods and services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties.
• Providing a different level or quality of services.
• Suggesting that the consumer will receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

Under the CCPA, we may charge a different price or rate, or provide a different level or quality of goods or services, if that difference is related to the value provided to us by your data. LJS Solutions, LLC does not consider the value of data in determining our fees, however.

Authorized Agents

If you would like, you may designate an authorized agent to make a request under the CCPA on your behalf. We will deny requests from agents that do not submit proof of authorization from you. To verify that an authorized agent has authority to act for you, we may require a copy of a power of attorney or require that you provide the authorized agent with written permission and verify your own identity with us.
