6.5               Your Rights and Choices

The CCPA provides consumers who are California residents with specific rights regarding their Personal Information.  This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights

You have the right to know and request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your Personal Information over the past 12 months from the date of your request.  Once we receive and verify your consumer request, we will disclose to you:

• The categories of Personal Information we collected about you.

• The categories of sources for the Personal Information we collected about you.

• Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or sharing that Personal Information.

• The categories of third parties with whom we share that Personal Information.

• The specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).

Deletion Request Rights

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

We may retain your Personal Information even if you request deletion if we can't verify your identity or if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers as provided in the CCPA.

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

We make available to California residents two designated methods for submitting requests to exercise access, data portability, and deletion rights of your Personal Information. Please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:

• Calling us at 800-995-5175
• Visiting: CPPA@silverstarauto.com

Only you or your authorized agent (i.e., a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf) 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.  In California, a minor is defined as any person under the age of 18 years.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability up to two times within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative.

• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

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.  Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.  We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

Upon our receipt of a consumer request, you will receive confirmation of our receipt of the request.  We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt.  If we require more time (up to an additional 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.  We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.  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.  For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable request. The law allows you to make 2 requests within a 12 month period.

6.6               Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you if you exercise your CCPA rights.  For that reason, we will not:

• Deny you goods or services.

• Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.

• Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.

• Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services, or a different level or quality of goods or services.

6.7               Authorized Agent

California consumers may designate an authorized agent to exercise a CCPA right on the consumer's behalf. If a consumer utilizes an authorized agent to exercise a CCPA right, the following proof that the agent has been authorized to act on the consumer's behalf will need to be provided:

• Proof of written permission by the consumer for the authorized agent to act on his or her behalf and separate verification of the consumer; or
• Proof that the authorized agent holds a power of attorney to act on the consumer's behalf pursuant to Cal. Probate Code §§ 4000-4465.

Our services are not intended for children.  We do not knowingly allow anyone under the age of 18 to participate in any services offered on our website which requires the submission of user information.  If we learn that a user is under the age of 18 and has submitted user information to us, we will delete that information as promptly as possible.
