B. California Data Access and Deletion Rights

If you are a California resident, the CCPA allows you to make certain requests about your personal information. Specifically, the CCPA allows you to request us to:

  • Inform you about the categories of personal information we collect or disclose about you; the categories of sources of such information; the business or commercial purpose for collecting your personal information; and the categories of third parties with whom we share/disclose personal information.
  • Provide access to and/or a copy of certain personal information we hold about you.
  • Delete certain personal information we have about you.
  • Provide you with information about the financial incentives that we offer to you, if any.

The CCPA further provides you with the right to not be discriminated against (as provided for in applicable law) for exercising your access, deletion, or sale opt out rights.

Please note that certain information may be exempt from such requests under California law. For example, we need certain information in order to provide the Services to you.

Choosing to delete your personal information may impact your ability to use our websites and online features, including closure of your online account, and limit your use of our website functions that require your personal information.

Verification: We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to a request, which may include, at a minimum, depending on the sensitivity of the information you are requesting and the type of request you are making, verifying your name and email address.

You are also permitted to designate an authorized agent to submit certain requests on your behalf. In order for an authorized agent to be verified, you must provide the authorized agent with signed, written permission to make such requests or a power of attorney. We may also follow up with you to verify your identity before processing the authorized agent's request.

If you would like further information regarding your legal rights under California law or would like to exercise any of them, please fill out our request form, or contact us at our toll-free phone number +1 (800) 207-2587.

C. Financial Incentives

We may offer you the opportunity to participate in special promotions and programs from time to time. Your participation is voluntary. If we provide an offer, we will obtain your consent to collect your Personal Information in connection with your participation. We will use the Personal Information we collect to facilitate your participation in the program and to market to you. If we run the program jointly with a business partner, we may disclose the information to that business partner.

You may opt in to any promotions or programs we offer using the means we present to you, such as an online registration page, at the time we make the offer. To opt-out or stop receiving coupons or discounts in your email, you may unsubscribe from our emails by clicking the “unsubscribe” button at the bottom of any such email.

The programs we offer may qualify as a financial incentive under California law. We are required to explain how the value you receive from financial incentives is reasonably related to the value that we receive from the Personal Information you provide to us. While we do not assign monetary value to the Personal Information we collect through our promotions or programs, we may receive value in the form of revenue or customer loyalty. We believe this value is reasonably related to the benefit you receive from participating in our promotions and programs. Our good faith estimate of the value of your Personal Information is based on the revenue generated from activities related to the collection and retention of Personal Information in connection with our promotions or programs less expenses related to providing the benefits offered. This value will vary by individual depending on the purchases made, which offers an individual takes advantage of, and many other factors. For example, with respect to a discount coupon or other discount incentive, the value would be commensurate with the amount of the discount.

D. Right to Opt Out / Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Please be advised that Vari does not, and has not sold any personal information for monetary value in the last 12 (twelve) months. However, Vari does disclose personal information to third parties for their targeted marketing purposes, which may be considered a "sale" under the California Consumer Privacy Act. Vari respects and understands that you may still want to ensure your personal information is not sold – whether for monetary consideration or otherwise. California consumers have the right to opt-out of the sale of their personal information. To opt out of data sharing with third parties for advertising and marketing purposes (through cookies and other technologies), please , please affirm your California residency and then use the "Cookie Settings" button on the subsequent page.

E. Right to Access or Delete Your Personal Information

California Consumers have the right to request that we delete personal information about you that we have collected from you.

California Consumers have the right to request that we disclose personal information that we have about you. You can request that we provide you with the categories of personal information we have collected in the 12 months preceding your request, at a minimum, and for each category: the categories of sources from which the personal information was collected; the business or commercial purpose for which we collected the personal information; the categories of third parties to whom we sold or disclosed the category of personal information for a business purpose; and the business or commercial purpose for which we sold or disclosed the category of personal information. You can also request that we provide the specific pieces of personal information that we have about you.

You may request to exercise your rights to Information and Deletion by submitting our CCPA Request form, or by contacting us at our toll-free phone number +1 (800) 207-2587.

Please note that we may take steps to verify your identity before granting you access to information or acting on your request to exercise your rights, as required or permitted by law. We may limit our response to your exercise of the above rights as permitted by law.

F. Timing of Response

We will respond to Requests to Delete and Requests to Know within 15 calendar days, unless we need more time, in which case we will notify you. It may take up to 90 days in total to respond to your request. Requests to Opt Out (Do Not Sell My Personal Information) submitted via the aforementioned "Cookie Settings" button will be processed immediately for subsequent pages or visits by that individual consumer on that specific device, as recognized by a first-party cookie present on the device, which we use for the purpose of remembering the visitor's opt-out preference.
