YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS – California Consumer Privacy Act

For California residents: We may share your personal information with third parties and affiliated third parties, but they do not share your name for their direct marketing purposes. You may opt-out of our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To opt out, please contact us as described in the "How to Contact Us" Section below.

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), effective January 1, 2020, gives California consumers enhanced rights with respect to their personal information that is collected by businesses. California consumers may opt out of having their personal information sold to other persons or parties. They have a right to know what specific pieces of information a business has about the consumer, categories of personal information collected, sources from which personal information is collected, and categories of third parties to whom the personal information was sold or disclosed.

To make a "request to know" or request to delete your personal information, send us an e-mail at mail@worthycause.com (Please put either "Request to Know" or "Request to Delete" in the subject heading of your email.)

YOUR RIGHTS AS A VISITOR FROM THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA (EEA)

If you are a European resident, our legal basis for collecting and using your personal data or information is to do so with your consent; where we need the personal data or information for performance of a contract, or where the collection and use is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. If we collected your personal data or information with your consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time.

You also have the right to:

  • Access your personal data or information;

You understand and agree that We may collect, use, disclose, and otherwise process the information you provide as described in this Privacy Statement even if you are from an area outside the United States.

DO NOT TRACK DISCLOSURES (EEA and California)

Some web browsers incorporate a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites and Services that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Each browser communicates "Do Not Track" signals to websites differently, making it unworkable to honor each and every request correctly. In order to alleviate any communication error between browsers and our Services, we do not respond to or honor "Do Not Track" signals at this time.
