If you are a California resident, California law may provide you with additional rights regarding our use of your personal information. To learn more about your California privacy rights, visit https://www.oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa.

California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits users of our App that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. HHCS does not disclose personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send an email to info@hallmarkhcs.com.

HHCS may also be subject to the CCPA. If you are a consumer based in California, the rights you have include:

Right to Disclosure

  1. Right to request HHCS to disclose to you: (a) the categories of personal information collected by us; (b) the categories of sources from which the personal information is collected; (c) the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling personal information (but we don’t sell personal information); (d) the categories of third parties with whom we share personal information; (e) the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the consumer—in all cases upon a verifiable consumer request (“VCR”).
  2. If we receive a verifiable consumer request (VCR) to access personal information, we will promptly take steps to disclose and deliver, free of charge, the personal information required by law, which may be delivered by mail or electronically. If delivered electronically, the information shall be in a portable, and if technically feasible, readily usable format permitting transfer by the consumer. We are not required to respond to your VCRs more than twice in a 12-month period. You can make a VCR either by sending us an email to info@hallmarkhcs.com. We are required to disclose and deliver the required information to you free of charge within 45 days of receiving a VCR. The 45-day time period can be extended once by an additional 45 days when reasonably necessary, provided we give you notice during the first 45-day period. The disclosure will cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your VCR. The disclosure must be in writing and delivered by mail or electronically at your option, in a readily usable format that facilitates onward transfer of the information by you.
  3. We need not retain any personal information collected for a single, one-time transaction if we do not sell or retain the information nor use it to reidentify or link data maintained as your personal information.
  4. We are required to disclose at or before the point of collection of personal information: (a) the categories of personal information to be collected, and (b) the purposes for which such categories will be used, and we believe that this Policy achieves those goals. Additional categories of personal information may not be collected or used without providing you with notice.

Right to Deletion

  1. We are required to disclose to you that you have the right to have your personal information deleted.
  2. If a deletion VCR is received by us, we will delete your personal information from our records and direct any of our service providers to which we have provided such information to delete your personal information from their records
  3. But bear in mind that we are not required to comply with your VCR to delete personal information if we need to retain the personal information for the following purposes: (a) to complete the transaction for which personal information was collected, such as providing a product/good or service requested you, or which is reasonably anticipated within the scope of our business relationship with you, or to perform a contract with you; (b) to detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for activity; (c) to debug to identify and repair errors that impair intended functionality; (d) to exercise our right to free speech or ensure the right of another consumer to exercise free speech or another right provided by law; (e) to comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act; (f) to engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical or statistical research in the public interest otherwise subject to applicable ethics and privacy laws, if the research would be seriously impaired by our compliance with your request; (g) to enable solely internal uses reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on our business relationship with you; (h) to comply with a legal obligation; or (i) otherwise to use personal information internally in a lawful manner compatible with the context in which you provided the information. Since we function as a private arbitral/judicial body, our requirement to retain case information intact often means that we are obligated to retain case-related personal information.

Consumer Rights: Sale of Personal Information or Disclosure for a Business Purpose:

  1. If HHCS wanted to sell your personal information, you would have the right to opt out, but we don’t sell personal information.
  2. You do have the right to disclosure of categories of personal information about you that are disclosed for a business purpose, which we believe are set forth in this Policy.
