Your Rights and Choices

If you are a California resident, the CCPA grants you the following rights regarding your personal information:

Right to Know and Data Portability Requests

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information (the "right to know"), including the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you (a "data portability request"). Our response will cover the 12-month period preceding the request, although we will honor requests to cover a longer period that do not extend past January 1, 2022, unless doing so would be impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You may exercise your right to know twice in any 12-month period. Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see How to Exercise Your Rights), we will disclose to you:

  • The categories of
    • personal information we have collected about you; and
    • sources from which we collected your personal information.
  • The business or commercial purpose for collecting your personal information and, if applicable, selling or sharing your personal information.
  • If applicable, the categories of persons, including third parties, to whom we disclosed your personal information, including separate disclosures identifying the categories of your personal information that we:
    • disclosed for a business purpose to each category of persons; and
    • sold or shared to each category of third parties.
  • When your right to know submission includes a data portability request, a copy of your personal information, subject to any permitted redactions.

For more on exercising this right, see Exercising the Rights to Know, Delete, or Correct.

Right to Delete and Right to Correct

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions and limitations (the "right to delete"). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity, we will delete your personal information from our systems unless an exception allows us to retain it. We will also notify our service providers, contractors, and other recipients to take appropriate action.

You also have the right to request correction of personal information we maintain about you that you believe is inaccurate (the "right to correct"). We may require you to provide documentation, if needed, to confirm your identity and support your claim that the information is inaccurate. Unless an exception applies, we will correct personal information that our review determines is inaccurate and notify our service providers, contractors, and other recipients to take appropriate action.

For more on exercising these rights, see Exercising the Rights to Know, Delete, or Correct.

Right to Limit Sensitive Personal Information Use and Disclosure to Permitted SPI Purposes

You have a right to ask businesses that use or disclose your sensitive personal information to limit those actions to just the CCPA's Permitted SPI Purposes (the "right to limit"). For more on exercising this right, see Exercising the Right to Limit or Opt-Out.

Right to Limit Sensitive Personal Information Use and Disclosure to Permitted SPI Purposes

You have a right to ask businesses that use or disclose your sensitive personal information to limit those actions to just the CCPA's Permitted SPI Purposes (the "right to limit"). For more on exercising this right, see Exercising the Right to Limit or Opt-Out.

For more on the Permitted SPI Purposes and our additional use purposes, see Sensitive Personal Information Use and Disclosure Purposes.

Personal Information Sales or Sharing Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights

You have the right to request that businesses stop sharing your personal information at any time (the "right to opt-out"), including through a user-enabled opt-out preference signal. Similarly, the CCPA prohibits businesses from selling or sharing the personal information of consumers it actually knows are under 16 years old without first obtaining consent from consumers who are between 13 and 15 years old or the consumer's parent or guardian for consumers under age 13 (the "right to opt-in").

We cannot sell or share your personal information after we receive your request to opt-out unless you later consent to the sale or sharing of your personal information. For more on exercising your opt-out rights, see Exercising the Right to Limit or Opt-Out.

Right to Non-Discrimination

You have the right not to be discriminated or retaliated against for exercising any of your privacy rights under the CCPA.

How to Exercise Your Rights

Exercising the Rights to Know, Delete, or Correct

To exercise the right to know (including data portability), delete, or correct described above, please submit a verifiable request to us by either:

  • By clicking here, and submitting the appropriate form.
  • Calling us at: 866-385-3824.

Please describe your request with sufficient detail so we can properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. You or your authorized agent may only submit a request to know, including for data portability, twice in a 12-month period.

Exercising the Right to Limit or Opt-Out

You can submit your request to limit or opt-out through:

  • An Interactive form accessible here,
  • Calling: 866-385-3824.
  • Sending a request to Window World, Inc. Attn: Privacy at 118 Shaver Street, N. Wilkesboro, North Carolina 28659.

You can also submit your request to opt-out of personal information sales and sharing through an opt-out preference signal.

Verification Process and Authorized Agents

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request to know, delete, or correct related to your personal information. We may request specific information from you or your authorized representative to confirm your or their identity before we can process your right to know, delete, or correct your personal information.

We cannot respond to your request to know, delete, or correct if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relating to you. We will only use personal information provided in the request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

For requests to limit or opt-out, we ask for the information necessary to complete the request, which may include, for example, the consumer's name or email address.

Responding to Your Requests to Know, Delete, or Correct

We will confirm receipt of your request within ten business days. If you do not receive confirmation within the ten-day timeframe, please contact privacy@windowworld.com.

We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response to your verified email address. Our substantive response will tell you whether or not we have complied with your request. If we cannot comply with your request in whole or in part, we will explain the reason, subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions. Applicable law may allow or require us to refuse to provide you with access to some or all of the personal information that we hold about you, or we may have destroyed, deleted, or made your personal information anonymous in compliance with our record retention policies and obligations.

Any disclosures we provide will cover information for the 12-month period preceding the request's receipt date. We will consider requests to provide a longer disclosure period that do not extend past January 1, 2022, unless providing the longer timeframe would be impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

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, specifically a spreadsheet.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Response and Timing on Rights to Limit or Opt-Out

In response to your request to limit or opt-out, we will process your request, as soon as feasibly possible, but no later than 15 business days from the date we receive the request. We will only use personal information provided from your request to comply with the request.

We will also notify our service providers, contractors, and certain other downstream recipients of your request to limit or opt-out and instruct them to both:

  • Comply with your request.
  • Forward the request to their own downstream recipients, if applicable.

We may deny opt-out requests if we have a good-faith, reasonable, and documented belief that the request is fraudulent and will clearly explain our denial decision to the requestor.

You may change your mind and opt back in at any time by submitting a new form fill.

How We Protect Your Personal Data

We use commercially reasonable administrative, physical, and technical measures designed to protect your personal data from accidental loss or destruction and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. However, no website, mobile application, system, electronic storage, or online service is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data transmitted to, through, using, or in connection with the Services. In particular, email, texts, and chats sent to or from the Services may not be secure, and you should carefully decide what information you send to us through these communications channels. Any transmission of personal data is at your own risk.

If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will update the policy's effective date and post the updated policy on our website.
