The California Consumer Privacy Act

The California Consumer Privacy Act, or CCPA, gives you specific rights as a California resident.

This law provides you with the right to know what information we collect about you and how we use it; to access, delete, and correct that information within certain limitations; to tell us not to sell or share personal information about you; to limit the use of certain sensitive personal information; and to not be discriminated against for invoking these rights.

You have the right to know what personal information we collect, how we use it, and how long we keep it.

We describe the personal information we collect, and how we use it, in this Privacy Policy. We, and service providers acting on our behalf, collect personal information when you interact with us, use our services, from your activity on our site, and from third parties. California law requires that we also describe the categories of personal information we collect and use and the sources of that information. Depending on how you use our services and how you interact with us, we may collect these categories of personal information:

  • Identifiers, including, name, address and email address, mobile device identifiers, IP address, and other similar identifiers;
  • Commercial information, such as records of products your purchase or our services, and financial information used for your transactions;
  • Financial information such as credit or debit card information you use as your payment method for your transactions with us;
  • Internet or other electronic network activity information, including website activity, browsing history, search history on our site, and information regarding your interaction with our site;
  • Contents of your correspondence with us;
  • Secure Account Information including account log-in, financial account, debit card, or credit card number in combination with any required security or access code, password, or credentials;
  • And other information that may identify, relate to, describe, or is capable of being associated with you.

We use this information for business and commercial purposes as they are defined by the CCPA. Business and commercial purposes include providing services to you; communicating with you and providing customer service; personalizing your experiences; improving our services; providing marketing and advertising; debugging; auditing our processes and services; short-term transient uses; research; and security, fraud, and legal compliance purposes. Examples and additional detail about these types of uses can be found in this Privacy Policy.

Some of the information we collect may be considered sensitive personal information under this California law which defines sensitive information to include account log-in information with required security or access codes; financial account, debit or credit card number along with required security or access code, password, or credentials allowing access to an account; precise geolocation when you allow it in our app; and the contents of your mail, email, and text messages unless we are the recipient of the communication. We do not use, sell, share, or disclose sensitive personal information, as defined by California law, for any purpose other than to provide services requested by you, with your consent, or for other purposes expressly authorized by California law, such as to detect security incidents.

We share information with service providers that may use information for the same purposes, as necessary for them to perform work for us. Service providers are required to protect the information we share with them or they collect on our behalf and use it only for the specific purposes that we allow.We may also disclose information to third parties, such as partners and to law enforcement, among others, as detailed elsewhere in this policy.

We may also disclose information with your consent and as further described in other sections of this policy.

Our policies require that we retain records for as long they are needed for legal, tax, audit, investigative, and/or security purposes and then securely delete or destroy them. We incorporate personal information into different types of records; it is not always retained by distinct data elements. For example, your name could be part of your customer account record, transaction record, or call records. Each type of record may be retained for a different time period depending on its purpose. We have established criteria for how long to keep different types of records.

We allow select third parties to directly collect information about your activity on our site using cookies and other similar web technologies. These third parties use information they collect to help us provide more relevant Trademore advertisements on other websites and apps and may also use information for their own or others’ advertising purposes. For information about how to opt out of these activities, please visit the “Your Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing of Personal Information” section below.
