  • Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights. You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection, use, and disclosure of your California Personal Information over the past 12 months. If we receive and confirm a verifiable consumer request from you pursuant to the Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights section below, we will disclose to you, depending on the scope of the request:
  • The categories of California Personal Information we collected about you.
  • The categories of sources for the California Personal Information we collected about you.
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting California Personal Information about you.
  • The categories of third parties with whom we shared your California Personal Information.
  • The specific pieces of California Personal Information we collected about you.
  • If we disclosed your California Personal Information for a business purpose, a list of the disclosures for a business purpose identifying the categories of California Personal Information disclosed.
  • Deletion Request Rights. You have the right to request that we delete your California Personal Information, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request pursuant to the Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights section below, we will delete your California Personal Information from our records, unless an exception applies.
  • Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights. To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by:
  • Emailing us at info@korenthemp.com

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. Your request must provide information sufficient to permit us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected California Personal Information, or an authorized representative of that person. Your request also must include sufficient detail for us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with California Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the California Personal Information relates to you.

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.  However, if you have a password-protected account with us we consider requests made through that account sufficiently verified when the request relates to California Personal Information associated with that specific account.

If you do not have a password-protected account with us we may ask you to provide certain personal information to allow us to verify your identity, which may include name, email address and zip code.  We may also use a third-party identity verification service.

You may also submit a request through an authorized representative registered with the California Secretary of State to conduct business in California.  Unless you have provided the authorized representative with a power of attorney pursuant to California Probate Code sections 4000 to 4465, the authorized representative must, at the time of submitting the request on your behalf, provide a written permission that you have signed that gives the authorized representative permission to act on your behalf.  You must also verify your own identity directly with us, and confirm with that you have provided that permission to the authorized representative.

Any disclosures we provide in response to a request will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of the verifiable request. If we cannot fulfill, or are permitted to decline, your request then we will alert you or your authorized representative. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your California Personal Information that is readily usable.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer 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 we reserve the right to either refuse to act on your request or charge you a reasonable fee to complete your request if it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.

  • Non-Discrimination. You have a right to not receive discriminatory treatment for exercising your access, data portability, and deletion rights described above. Except to the extent permitted by the CCPA, we will not deny you, or charge you different prices or rates for, goods or services or provide a different level or quality of goods or services for exercising the rights described above.
  • “Shine the Light” Disclosures. California’s “Shine the Light” law permits California residents who have an established business relationship with us to request certain information regarding our disclosures of their personal information (as defined by that law) during the preceding year, if any, to third parties for those parties’ own direct marketing purposes. If you are a California resident who has an established business relationship with us and wishes to exercise your rights under that law, please send your written request by mail to Criticality, LLC, Attn: Compliance, 9001 Aerial Center Parkway, Morrisville, NC 27560.
