Your Rights and Choices

The CCPA provides consumers with specific rights regarding their Personal Information. This section describes such rights and explains how to exercise them.

Right to Know About Personal Information.

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection, disclosure, sale and use of your Personal Information. Once we receive and verify your request, we will disclose to you the following (to the extent applicable to your request):

• Specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you in the preceding twelve (12) months (also known as a data portability request)

• Categories of Personal Information we collected about you in the preceding twelve (12) months

• Categories of Sources from which the Personal Information was collected

• Our Business Purpose for collecting that Personal Information

• Categories of Personal Information we disclosed for a Business Purpose and the Categories of Third Party Recipients to whom the Personal Information was disclosed

Right to Request Deletion.

You have the right to request that we delete any of Personal Information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and verify your request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your Personal Information from our records, unless an exception applies.

Exercising Rights to Know or Request Deletion.

To exercise the rights to know or request deletion described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either: (a) calling us at (833) 752-4400, or (b) submitting your request by email to info@colossusmediassp.com. You may only make a verifiable consumer request under the right to know twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must: (i) provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative; and (ii) describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information related to you.

Verification Process.

To submit a verifiable consumer request, the consumer may be required to provide up to three data points, which may include additional Personal Information, to enable us to verify the consumer’s identity with the degree of certainty required by the CCPA. We will use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request solely for the purpose of verifying the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request. We or a third party on our behalf may follow up with you to determine whether a request is a verifiable consumer request under applicable law. If we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you, we will deny the consumer request in whole or in part and will not to disclose the information requested or, as applicable, will not delete the information requested. We will respond to any such consumer request with a denial, and will also explain why it has no reasonable method by which it can verify the identity of the requestor.

Response Timing and Format.

We will confirm receipt of a verifiable consumer request within ten (10) business days of its receipt. We will endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) calendar days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will notify you of the extension and provide an explanation of the reason for the extension in writing, and we will provide you with a response no later than ninety (90) calendar days of receipt of the request. We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance. We may charge a reasonable fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer requests if they are excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will inform you of the reasons for this decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Right to Opt-Out.

Colossus Media provides multiple paths for you to opt-out regarding data collection, interest based advertising, and guidance regarding how to engage in other privacy controls such as access, portability and erasure.

Right to Opt-Out of Interest Based Advertising.

Our Privacy Policy at https://colossusmediassp.com/privacy-policy/ provides guidance on opting out of Interest Based Advertising, including by managing your browser’s response to cookies, adjusting the settings on your mobile device, and limiting collection of Personal Information including geolocation data.

Publishers and advertisers may also provide ways for you to opt out from or limit their collection of information from and about you. Please refer to their privacy policies to learn more. Please note that Colossus Media is not responsible for the privacy practices of its clients, publishers, advertisers, and other third parties.  

If you are 16 years of age or older, you have the right, at any time, to direct us to not sell your Personal Information (the “right to opt-out”). We do not knowingly sell the Personal Information of children under the age of 16, unless we receive affirmative authorization (the “right to opt-in”) from either (i) the consumer who is between 13 and 16 years of age, or (ii) the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years of age. 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 clicking Do Not Sell My Information, completing and submitting the digital form, calling us at (833) 752-4400 or by submitting your request via email at info@colossusmediassp.com. We will only use Personal Information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request. Once you make an opt-out request, we will not ask you to reauthorize Personal Information sales for at least twelve (12) months. However, you may change your mind and opt back in to Personal Information sales at any time by sending us an email with an opt-in request at info@colossusmediassp.com.

Right to Non-Discrimination.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. We will not (i) deny you products or services, (ii) charge you different prices or rates for products or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties (except for financial incentives permitted by the CCPA, see below), (iii) provide you a different level or quality of products or services, and (iv) suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for products or services or a different level or quality of products or services.

Right to Designate an Authorized Agent

We may deny a request from an authorized agent that does not submit proof of authorization.
