California Privacy Rights

If you are a California Consumer, you have certain rights with respect to the collection, use, transfer, and processing of your “Personal Information”, as defined by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). We reserve the right to limit these rights where permitted under applicable law, including where your identity cannot be reasonably verified or to the extent your rights adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. To exercise any of the rights below, please contact us via the contact information below. Only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information.

Individual Rights

Right to know
You have the right to request that PB Trade disclose the Personal Information it collects, uses, and discloses about you to third parties.

There are two types of “Right to Know” requests you can make:

  1. Right to know (Abbreviated Request): If you make an Abbreviated Request, you will receive – if available- the following information about you:
    1. Category of Personal Information collected in the past twelve months,
    2. Categories of sources from which that information was collected,
    3. The business or commercial purpose(s) for which the information was collected,
    4. The categories of third parties with whom Personal Information has been shared, and
    5. The business or commercial purpose for which PB Trade sold or disclosed the category of Personal Information.
  2. Right to Know (Specific Pieces of Information Request): If you make a Specific Pieces of Information Request, you will receive – if available- the following information about you:
    1. Specific pieces of Personal Information collected about you.

This information will be provided to you free of charge, unless we believe that your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive. You may request this information twice in a 12-month period.

Right of Deletion
You have the right to request that PB Trade and our service providers delete any Personal Information about yourself that we collected from you upon receipt of a verifiable request. This right is subject to exceptions.

Right to opt out of the sale of Information
California Consumers have the right to opt out of the sale of Personal Information by a business that sells Personal Information.

Submitting Requests
You may submit a request through email at info@pbtradeinc.com

Verifying Requests
We provide Californian consumers with the ability to submit requests through our email addresses. However, we must verify that the person requesting information or deletion is the Californian consumer about whom the request relates to process the request. To verify a Californian consumer’s identity, we may request up to three pieces of personal information about you when you make a request to compare against our records. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use Personal Information provided in your request to verify your identity and will delete any information you provide after processing the request. PB Trade reserves the right to take additional steps as necessary to verify the identity of Californian consumers where we have reason to believe a request is fraudulent.

Authorized Agent
Consumers may use an authorized agent to submit their requests. The authorized agent must be registered with the California Secretary of State and be authorized to submit requests on behalf of a consumer. If you are an authorized agent and a consumer has given you signed permission to submit a request on his or her behalf, please send a copy of your signed permission by the consumer to PB Trade. Failure to submit proof of signed permission may result in PB Trade denying the consumer’s request. We will require the consumer to verify his or her identity and directly confirm with us that the consumer has provided you with permission to submit the request.
