There are certain limited circumstances under which the business does not have to comply and delete the information, as follows:
● To provide and complete the transaction for which the information was collected in the first place (for example, selling and delivering goods and services);

● To carry out and be compliant with another legal requirement; and
● To keep the information for internal use that is reasonable to the consumer.
CONSUMER’S RIGHT TO DEMAND DISCLOSURE IN CASE OF SALE
As a consumer, you have the right to request full disclosure if a business sells or transfers your personal information for a business purpose. You have the right to know what specific information has been sold or transferred, to whom, and for what business purpose.

SECURING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

If a business experiences a data breach, then it will be held liable if it did not implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices.
We do our due diligence and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices to make sure that the consumer data and private information we collect is safe and secure.
Here are the security practices we have in place to protect consumer data:
● All the systems containing consumer information (such as our email service provider) are password protected.
○ The passwords are considered strong and are not easy to figure out.
● Only 2 people know the password.
● To make our Email Service Provider database even more secure, we change the password every year.
● Our computers are protected from third-party access by having an additional password layer before a user can start working on the computer.
● In addition to the statements above, we take reasonable precautions on a daily basis to protect consumer information from unauthorized use, modification, destruction, and disclosure.
