What are your rights regarding your personal information?
Under the CCPA, you may have the following rights in relation to your personal information:
You may have the right to request that the Company disclose the personal information that we collect, use, and disclose about you. You may "request to know": (i) the categories of personal information that the Company has collected about you; (ii) the categories of sources from which the personal information is collected; (iii) the business or commercial purpose for collecting your personal information; (iv) whether any categories of personal information were disclosed for a business purpose to third parties and the categories of third parties with whom the Funds discloses your personal information; and (v) the specific pieces of personal information that the Funds have collected about you. Your request may pertain to the personal information collected about you on or after January 1, 2022. If your request covers a time period beyond twelve [12] months from the date of your request, the Company may deny your request as to that time period where it would be impossible for the Company to provide you with the information or involve disproportionate effort. The Company may deny your request to search for certain information under certain circumstances (e.g., where the Company retains the information solely for legal and compliance purposes).
You may have the right under certain circumstances to receive specific pieces of your personal information in a format that is understandable, and to the extent technically feasible, in a structured, commonly used, machine readable format that allows you to transmit the information to another entity.
You may have the right to correct inaccurate personal information.
You may have the right to request deletion of personal information under certain circumstances. For example, we may not be required to delete personal information if we need to retain the information to comply with a legal obligation. In addition, we may delay deletion with respect to data stored on an archived or backup system, until the archived or backup system relating to that data is restored to an active system or next accessed or used for a sale, disclosure, or commercial purpose.
You may have the right to know what information is shared with third parties, and to whom and to opt out of sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not sell or share your personal information within the meaning of the CCPA.
You have the right not to receive discriminatory or retaliatory treatment for the exercise of any of these rights. We will not discriminate or retaliate against you or refuse to provide you products or services because you have exercised your rights.
We will use reasonable methods for verifying that the person making a request to know, data portability, request to correct or a request to delete is the individual about whom we have collected personal information.
This may involve, depending on the nature of the request, confirming that the email address provided corresponds with our records concerning the individual. Additional reasonable measures may also be required to verify the identity of the person making the request depending on the circumstances. For requests to delete made electronically, you may be required to submit the request to delete, and then separately confirm that you want your personal information deleted. We will maintain a record of your request to delete. To the extent that you wish to use an authorized agent to make requests concerning the rights set forth above, you will need to provide us either with a power of attorney or, alternatively, with signed authorization to communicate with your authorized agent, and directly confirm that you provided the authorized agent with permission to submit the request.
We will (i) confirm receipt of requests to know, data portability, to correct inaccurate information or to delete within ten [10] business days of the request; and (ii) generally respond to requests to know, data portability, to correct inaccurate information or to delete within forty-five [45] calendar days of the request. If we need additional time to respond to your request beyond the forty-five [45] calendar days, we will provide you with notice explaining the reasons we need more time, and we will then take up to an additional forty-five [45] calendar days to respond to your request.
