California Residents – CCPA

If you are a California resident, you have the rights outlined in this section, and in accordance with the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA") and California Consumer Privacy Rights Act ("CPRA"). Please see the "Exercising Your Rights" sub-section below for instructions regarding how to exercise these rights. If there are any conflicts between this section and any other provision of this Policy and you are a California resident, the portion that is more protective of your Personal Information shall control. If you have any questions about this section or whether any of the following applies to you, please contact us at hello@ruesophie.com.

Right to Access

You have the right to request certain information about our collection and use of your Personal Information over the past 12 months. Assuming verification of your identity, we will provide you with the following information:

1. The categories of Personal Information that we have collected about you.
2. The categories of sources from which that Personal Information was collected.
3. The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling your Personal Information.
4. The categories of third-parties with whom we have shared your Personal Information.
5. The specific pieces of Personal Information that we have collected about you.
6. If we have disclosed your Personal Information for a business purpose over the past 12 months, we will identify the categories of Personal Information shared with each category of third party recipient.

If we have sold your Personal Information over the past 12 months, we will identify the categories of Personal Data purchased by each category of third party recipient.

Right to Deletion

You have the right to request that we delete the Personal Information that we have collected from you (or your household). Note that this deletion right does not include Personal Information we have collected from third-party sources. Furthermore, under the CCPA/CPRA, this deletion right is subject to certain exceptions: for example, we may need to retain your Personal Information to provide you with services or complete a transaction or other action you have requested. If your deletion request is subject to one of these exceptions, we may deny your deletion request.

Exercising Right To Access and/or Right to Deletion

If you are a California resident, and to exercise the rights described above, you (or someone acting under your express authorization) must send us a request that (a) provides sufficient information to allow us to verify that you are the person about whom we have collected Personal Information, and (b) describes your request in sufficient detail to allow us to understand, evaluate, and respond to it. If someone is submitting a request on your behalf, they must further (c) provide proof that they are authorized to act for you in this regard.

Each request that meets both of these criteria will be considered a "Valid Request". We may not respond to requests that do not meet these criteria. We will only use Personal Information provided in a Valid Request to verify you and complete your request. You do not need an account to submit a Valid Request.

We will work to respond to your Valid Request within 45 days of receipt. If we are not able to respond to your request within 45 days, we will let you know that we may need additional time to respond, up to 90 total days. We will not charge you a fee for making a Valid Request unless your Valid Request(s) is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that your Valid Request warrants a fee, we will notify you of the fee and explain that decision before completing your request.

You may submit a Valid Request by:

Emailing us at: hello@ruesophie.com

Right to Opt-Out of "Sale" or "Sharing" of Personal Information

The CCPA/CPRA defines "sale" to include sharing or disclosing of personal data with a third-party for monetary or other valuable consideration. This may include when we share information about you that is associated with device identifiers with third-parties for targeted advertising purposes, and as generally described above. The CPRA further defines "sharing" as disclosing, making available, transferring, or communicating a consumer’s Personal Information to a third party for "cross-context behavioral advertising", whether or not for monetary or other valuable consideration.

There are circumstances where sharing of personal data with third-parties is not considered to be a sale. For example, we may share personal data with service providers who work on our behalf if the service provider agrees not to use that personal data for other purposes. In addition, you may intentionally direct us to share information with a third-party, which is also not a sale.

The CCPA and CPRA give California residents the right to direct a business that sells or shares Personal Information about that consumer to third-parties not to sell or share such information. To this end, we give you the option to opt-out of these sales at any time by emailing us at: hello@ruesophie.com

Once you have submitted an opt-out request, we will not ask you to reauthorize the sale of your Personal Information for at least twelve (12) months. To the extent your request comes from a third-party, we have the right to request proof from that third-party that they are authorized to act on your behalf.

Right to Correct Inaccurate Personal Information

The CPRA provides California residents with the right to request the correction of inaccurate Personal Information kept by businesses. Upon submission of a valid request by a California resident, and verification by us of the same, we shall use commercially reasonable efforts to correct inaccurate Personal Information identified by you.

Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information

The CPRA provides California residents with the right to direct a business that collects Sensitive Personal Information (as defined above) about the resident to limit its use of such information to that use which is necessary to perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected by the average consumer who requests such goods or services. Any uses, or disclosure, of the consumer’s Sensitive Personal Information beyond this must be disclosed by the business and the consumer has the right to limit such use and/or disclosure. If you are interested in limiting such use and/or disclosure please email us at: hello@ruesophie.com.

The Sale or Sharing of Personal Information of Children (16 years old and younger)

We will not knowingly sell the Personal Information of a child 16 years old or younger without first obtaining the required authorizations. Specifically:

1. Children Between 13 and 16 Years of Age. If you are between 13 and 16 years of age, you must authorize us to sell your Personal Information, which you may do by emailing us at: hello@ruesophie.com.
2. Children Under 13 Years of Age. If you are under 13 years of age, your parent or guardian must authorize us to sell your Personal Information, which your parent or guardian may do by emailing us at: hello@ruesophie.com.

No Discrimination For Exercising Your Rights

We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights under the CCPA. We will not deny you our goods or services, charge you different prices or rates, or provide you a lower quality of goods and services if you exercise your rights under the CCPA. However, we may offer different tiers of our services as allowed by applicable data privacy laws (including the CCPA) with varying prices, rates, or levels of quality of the goods or services you receive related to the value of Personal Information that we receive from you.

California Shine The Light Law

Under California Civil Code Sections 1798.83-1798.84, California residents are entitled to obtain from us once a year, free of charge, a list of third-parties to whom we have disclosed Personal Information (if any) for direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year. If you are a California resident and you wish to make such a request, please send an e-mail with "California Privacy Rights" in the subject line to hello@ruesophie.com.

EU AND UK DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS REGARDING PERSONAL DATA

You have certain rights with respect to your Personal Information, including those set forth below. For more information about these rights, or to submit a request, please email hello@ruesophie.com. Please note that in some circumstances, we may not be able to fully comply with your request, such as if it is manifestly unfounded or excessive, if it jeopardizes the rights of others, or if it is not required by law, but in those circumstances, we will still respond to notify you of such a decision. In some cases, we may also need you to provide us with additional information, which may include Personal Information, if necessary to verify your identity and the nature of your request.

1. Access. You can request more information about the Personal Information we hold about you and request a copy of such Personal Information. You can also access certain of your Personal Information by logging into your account.
2. Rectification. If you believe that any Personal Information we are holding about you is incorrect or incomplete, you can request that we correct or supplement such information. You can also correct some of this information directly by logging into your account.
3. Erasure. You can request that we erase some or all of your Personal Information from our systems.
4. Withdrawal of Consent. If we are processing your Personal Information based on your consent (as indicated at the time of collection of such information), you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please note, however, that if you exercise this right, you may have to then provide express consent on a case-by-case basis for the use or disclosure of certain of your Personal Information, if such use or disclosure is necessary to enable you to utilize some or all of our Site. Any withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing based on your consent before its withdrawal.
5. Portability. You can ask for a copy of your Personal Information in a machine-readable format. You can also request that we transmit the information to another controller where technically feasible.
6. Objection. You can contact us to let us know that you object to the further use or disclosure of your Personal Information for certain purposes, such as for direct marketing purposes.
7. Restriction of Processing. You can ask us to restrict further processing of your Personal Information.
8. Right to File Complaint. You have the right to lodge a complaint about our practices with respect to your Personal Information with the supervisory authority of your country or EU Member State. You have the same right in the UK; the relevant data protection authority is the Information Commissioner’s Office.

By accessing and using the Site, you acknowledge that any Personal Information about you, regardless of whether provided by you or obtained from a third-party, is being provided to us in the U.S. and will be hosted on U.S. servers, and you authorize us to transfer, store and process your information to and in the U.S., and possibly other countries. The transfer of your data to the U.S. shall be subject to appropriate safeguards the details of which are further set forth below.

Transfer of Personal Information

The Site is hosted and operated in the United States (“U.S.”) through us and our service providers, and if you do not reside in the U.S., laws in the U.S. may differ from the laws where you reside. By accessing and using the Site, you acknowledge that any Personal Information about you, regardless of whether provided by you or obtained from a third-party, is being provided to us in the U.S. and will be hosted on U.S. servers, and that we will transfer, store and process your information to and in the U.S., and possibly other countries. If we transfer your Personal Information from the UK or EU to the U.S. or another country (other than where you provide your Personal Information to us directly via the Site, which is not considered a transfer by us), we are required to justify the transfer under GDPR. In some cases, it may be necessary for us to transfer your Personal Information in order to perform our contractual obligations to you (e.g. supplying you with goods or services) or to enter into a contract with you. However, in most cases the relevant safeguard in place for transfers will be the EU Standard Contractual Clauses which may be found here. For personal data transfers from the UK to the UK Addendum to the EU SCCs which may be found here are used. The completed documents may be requested from us at hello@ruesophie.com. Once the EU-US Data Privacy Framework is finalized, we may also utilize this mechanism to support our data transfers to the U.S.

Data Retention

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Details of retention periods for different aspects of your personal information are available in our retention policy which is available by contacting the Data Privacy Team.

Minors

We greatly respect the privacy of children and their information, and do not knowingly collect the Personal Information of children under the age of 16 (a “Child”) without the prior consent of their parent or legal guardian. This section outlines our policies and practices of the collection of a Child’s Personal Information.

Parental Consent Prior to Collection

Information about the cookies we use may be updated from time to time, so please check back on a regular basis for any changes.

When we knowingly collect a Child’s Personal Information, we will ask that Child's parent or legal guardian for consent before we collect it, unless the request falls within an exception.

When prior parental consent is required, we will ask for it in ways allowed by Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) or other applicable law. For example, if the Child’s Personal Information will be used only by us, we may ask for the parent's (or legal guardian’s) consent by email. While we do not currently, and do not expect to, use Child’s Personal Information in this manner, if we are aware that a Child’s Personal Information is disclosed on our Site or shared with a third-party besides a service provider, we obtain a higher level of consent from the parent (or legal guardian), such as by a form to be returned via U.S. mail or electronic scan, or consent obtained in connection with a credit card purchase.

Parental Choices and Controls Under COPPA

If you are a parent (or legal guardian) who has given consent as described above, you can ask us to:

Allow you to review your Child’s Personal Information;
Deactivate your Child's Site account;
Revoke any consent you have given for your Child;
Delete the Child’s Personal Information we have collected; and
Stop collecting your Child’s Personal Information.

To make these requests, or if you have any other questions about our policies or practices regarding the collection, use, sharing or disclosure of a Child’s Personal Information, you may contact us at:

We, or our third-party hosting providers, store Personal Information in operating environments that are safeguarded against public or unauthorized access and protected from internal access with physical and technical security measures. While these measures are helpful to safeguard your Personal Information after we receive it, no transmission of data over the internet is 100% secure.

Your rights

Depending on where you reside and the types of information that we collect from you, you have various rights and choices surrounding the collecting, processing, sharing and selling of your Personal Information. Within this section is a list of general rights that you have, with additional rights listed in this Policy below for specific locations.

We strive to timely respond to all requests that we receive from individuals who wish to exercise their data privacy and protection rights in accordance with applicable law. You can contact us with your request by sending an email to hello@ruesophie.com or as otherwise described in this Policy.

Opting Out of Providing Personal Information or Deleting Account.

Please note that while you can always opt not to disclose Personal Information to us, some Personal Information may be needed to set up an account with us or to take advantage of some features on our Site. You may be able to add, update, or delete information within an account you create. When you update information, however, we may maintain a copy of the unrevised information in our records. You may also request deletion of your account by emailing hello@ruesophie.com. However, some information may remain in our records after your deletion of such information from your account to meet our legal, business or contractual obligations. We may use any aggregated data derived from or incorporating your Personal Information after you update or delete it, but not in a manner that could reasonably be used to identify you personally, and we may also retain and continue to use your non-personally identifiable information.

However, some features and services of the Site (particularly those that require sign-in) may not function properly if your Cookies are disabled.

Do Not Track

Some web browsers incorporate a "Do Not Track" ("DNT") or similar feature that signals to websites that a user does not want to have the user’s online activity and behavior tracked. If a website that responds to a particular DNT signal receives the DNT signal, the browser can block that website from collecting certain information about that browser’s user. Not all browsers offer a DNT option and DNT signals are not yet uniform. For this reason, the Site may not respond to DNT signals.

Cookies make your browsing experience better by allowing the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login and region selection). This means you don’t have to re-enter this information each time you return to the site or browse from one page to another. Cookies also provide information on how people use the website, for instance whether it’s their first time visiting or if they are a frequent visitor.

This Cookie and Behaviorial Advertising Policy explains how Rue Sophie uses cookies and similar technologies in connection with the www.ruesophie.com website and any other website that we own or control and which posts or links to this Cookie and Interest-Based Advertising Policy (collectively, the “Sites”), along with Rue Sophie mobile application and any other mobile applications that we own or control and which posts or links to this Cookie and Interest-Based Advertising Policy (collectively, the “Apps”).

Advertisers may use Cookies, pixel tags and other technologies to collect your Personal Information, measure the effectiveness of their advertisements, and personalize the advertisements on other sites. Some of these Advertisers may collect your Personal Information that you share on the Site via a web form automatically and prior to your submission of the Personal Information (i.e., before you click, “Submit”). Advertisers may be able to use information from your Site visits to send marketing messages to you in a way that could personally identify you. The information collected by Advertisers may include your IP address, email addresses and other user and device level information. For example, when Advertisers send advertisements and links that appear on the Site directly to your browser, they automatically receive your IP address. Please keep in mind that your browser settings may not permit you to control Advertisers’ technologies, and this Policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, Advertisers.

The length of time that a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session cookies last until you stop browsing and persistent cookies last until they expire or are deleted. Most of the cookies we use are persistent and will expire between 30 minutes and two years from the date they are downloaded to your device.

You can control and manage cookies in various ways. Please keep in mind that removing or blocking cookies can negatively impact your user experience and parts of our website may no longer be fully accessible.

For more information on how to modify your browser settings or how to block, manage or filter cookies can be found in your browser’s help file or through such sites as www.allaboutcookies.org.

Additionally, please note that blocking cookies may not completely prevent how we share information with third parties such as our advertising partners.
