  1. Your Rights and Choices

The CCPA provides consumers with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

You have the right to request that ZINIO disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your Personal Information over the past twelve (12) months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see Exercising Access and Deletion Rights), we will disclose to you:

You have the right to request that ZINIO delete any of your Personal Information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions including regulatory data retention requirements. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your Personal Information from our records, unless an exception applies.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

To exercise the access, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us through the Services, by telephone at +1 (855) 979-4646, or by email at dataprotection@zinio.com. Only you may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child or as a user of the Services with regards to ZINIO as your Service Provider (meaning at the request of an individual whose Personal Information you have provided to us in the normal course of and purpose for using the Services).

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

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.

We do consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to Personal Information associated with that specific account.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request's receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.

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 provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request
