Your California Privacy Rights

ACCESS TO SPECIFIC INFORMATION AND DATA PORTABILITY RIGHTS FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

You have the right, subject to certain exceptions defined in the California Consumer Protection Act “CCPA” and other applicable laws and regulations, to request that companies disclose certain information to you about their collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. This right of access includes information about:

The categories of personal information we collected about you.
The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
The categories of third parties to whom we disclosed or sold that personal information. The categories of personal information we disclosed or sold to each category of third parties
The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you.

DELETION REQUEST RIGHTS

You have the right, subject to certain exceptions defined in the CCPA and other applicable laws and regulations, to request that a company delete any of your personal information that it has collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions.

EXERCISING ACCESS, DATA PORTABILITY, AND DELETION RIGHTS
To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, California residents may submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:

Calling us at 1-321-326-8772
Submitting an online request at dataprivacy@gnttrading.co.

The verifiable consumer request must:

Provide sufficient information that allows us to verify, to a reasonably high degree of certainty, that you are the person about whom we collected personal information. This may include requesting that you provide us with at least two or more pieces of personal information to match against personal information about you that we may or may not maintain and which we have determined to be reliable for the purpose of verification.
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 relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period.

RIGHT TO OPT-OUT OF SALE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

California law requires that we provide transparency about personal information we “sell,” which, for the purposes of the CCPA, broadly means scenarios in which GNT Trading has shared personal information with third parties in exchange for valuable consideration. GNT Trading “sells” personal information for the commercial purpose of placing relevant content and advertisements for you on our own website, as well as other websites, online media channels and apps. In the next 12 months, we may “sell” the following categories of personal information to the following categories of third parties:

Categories of Personal Information

Identifiers, such as unique personal identifier, online identifier, internet protocol address, or other similar identifiers.
Internet or other electronic network activity information, including, but not limited to, browsing history, search history, and information regarding a consumer’s interaction with an internet website, application, or advertisement.
Geolocation data
Inferences drawn from information collected to create a profile about a consumer.

Each of these categories of information are shared with our Advertising networks and partners, marketing agencies, and customer database hosting providers.

California consumers have the right to opt out of these sales at any time by visiting our “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” emailing us at dataprivacy@gnttrading.co. GNT Trading will also treat Global Privacy Control browser signals as opt-out of sale requests. You can learn more about enabling Global Privacy Control opt-out of sale signals on your browser here. If an authorized agent is submitting the Right to Opt-Out of Sale of Personal Information, they must provide us a signed written permission from the consumer demonstrating that they have been authorized by the consumer to act on the consumer’s behalf. If you are an authorized agent, please email us at dataprivacy@gnttrading.co so that we can confirm your authority to opt-out on behalf of the consumer.

AUTHORIZED AGENT

Only you, or a person you have designated in writing as your authorized agent, or who is registered with the California Secretary of State to act on your behalf, or to whom you have provided power of attorney pursuant to California Probate Code sections 4000 to 4465, (“Authorized Agent”), may make a verifiable consumer request to access or delete your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

If you wish to have an Authorized Agent make a request on your behalf, they will need to provide us with sufficient written proof that you have designated them as your Authorized Agent and we will still require you to provide sufficient information to allow us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected personal information.

NON-DISCRIMINATION

You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

Deny you services.
Charge you different prices or rates for services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
Provide you a different level or quality of services.
Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for services or a different level or quality of services.

However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels.

If you are a California resident, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits you to request a list of all third parties to which we, during the immediately preceding calendar year, have disclosed certain personally identifiable information for direct marketing purposes. GNT Trading does not share personal information about its consumers with any third parties other than brands owned by GNT INTERNATIONAL TRADING LLC for their own marketing purposes. We are only required to respond to a customer request once during any calendar year. To make such a request you should send a letter to GNT INTERNATIONAL TRADING LLC, Attn: California Privacy Rights; 7901 4th St. N Suite 5428 St. Petersburg, FL 33702. Please be aware that not all information sharing is covered by the California privacy rights requirements and only information sharing that is covered will be included in our response.

7. How do we keep your information safe?

We take the security of your personal information very seriously. We have implemented various organizational and technical measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized disclosure, unlawful use, alteration and destruction. To do this, we maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards. Our servers are secured with firewalls and virus protection. Backup and recovery as well as role and authorization concepts are a matter of course for us. In order to increase the security of your personal data, we use encryption methods (e.g. SSL for transmission over the Internet). Our employees are committed to personal data secrecy and must observe the provisions of the California Consumer Privacy Act and its amendment, CPRA, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and any other data protection regulations when handling personal data.

All companies that receive personal data from us for the purpose of processing must, in addition to concluding an order processing contract, also undertake to maintain data secrecy and to comply with the necessary organizational and technical data protection requirements. This is checked by GNT Trading before the start of the contract and regularly afterwards, so that they also fulfill their obligations in practice and your personal data is always protected.

8. How long do we retain your information?

In general, we will only retain your personal information for as long as is necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. This means that the retention periods will vary according to the type of the information and the reason that we have the information.

9. Links to Third-Party Websites and Additional Terms

Our website may contain links to third-party sites that are not governed by this Privacy Policy. If you click on a link to a third-party site, you will be taken to a site we do not control.
