5.1.1. Taking steps at Your request.

7. PRIVACY RIGHTS OF USERS

7.1. Residents of the United States may have specific privacy rights depending on the state in which they reside. These rights are established by state-specific privacy laws, which grant individuals certain control over their Personal Information. The scope of these rights, as well as the procedures for exercising them, vary by state.

State Privacy Rights Table

Please note! Some states do not have privacy laws. The rights of residents of such states are governed by U.S. federal law.

7.2. Employment-Related Personal Information. Certain U.S. state privacy laws grant the rights described above only to individuals acting in an individual or household context and expressly exclude individuals acting in an employment or commercial context. This may include application materials, resumes or CVs, interview and assessment records, recruitment communications, information used to evaluate an Applicant, and records relating to an employment or other professional relationship. Accordingly, depending on the applicable state law, some rights identified in the State Privacy Rights Table may not apply to Personal Information We Process solely in connection with an individual’s application for employment or engagement, or their current or former employment, agency, or independent contractor relationship with HereSure. This limitation does not affect any rights available under other applicable laws. In particular, where the California Consumer Privacy Act applies to HereSure, California residents who are Applicants, employees, or independent contractors may exercise the rights available to them under that law.

7.3. To exercise any applicable privacy right, please contact Us at info@heresureprotect.com. Your request should include Your name, email address, state of residence, a description of the right You wish to exercise, and sufficient information to identify the Personal Information to which Your request relates.

7.4. We may request additional information where reasonably necessary to verify Your identity or authority to submit the request. The verification method will depend on the nature of the request, the sensitivity of the Personal Information involved, and the risk associated with unauthorized access, correction, or deletion. We may be unable to fulfil Your request if We cannot reasonably verify Your identity or authority to make it.

7.5. Where permitted by applicable law, We may decline to act on requests that are manifestly unfounded, excessive, repetitive, fraudulent, or otherwise not required to be fulfilled. If We decline to act on Your request, We will explain the reasons for Our decision and provide information about any available appeal procedure, where required by applicable law.

7.6. We will not unlawfully discriminate or retaliate against You for exercising any privacy right granted under applicable law. We will not deny You access to the Website, provide a different level of Website functionality, or otherwise treat You adversely solely because You submitted a valid privacy request. However, exercising certain rights, including requesting the deletion of information necessary to respond to an inquiry or administer an application, may affect Our ability to continue the relevant interaction with You.

7.7. As a general rule, the Company will respond to Your request within 45 (forty-five) days from the date of receiving the request. In cases where additional time is needed to process the request, the response period may be extended by an additional 45 (forty-five) days, with the User being notified of the extension and the reasons for the delay. However, the following states have specific response time requirements for certain types of requests:

7.7.1. Iowa: the Company will respond to Your request within 90 (ninety) days from the date of receipt. If necessary, this period may be extended by an additional 45 (forty-five) days, with the User being notified of the delay.

7.7.2. New Jersey: in cases where the request pertains to Personal information shared with Third Parties, the Company will respond within 60 (sixty) days regarding all transfers that occurred in the past 12 (twelve) months.

15. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES

15.1. Do Not Track («DNT») is a privacy preference that Users can set in certain web browsers. DNT is a way for Users to inform websites and services that they do not want certain information about their webpage visits collected over time and across websites or online services. We do not recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals, as the Internet industry is currently still working toward defining exactly what DNT means, what it means to comply with DNT, and a common approach to responding to DNT.
