from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. 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:

• Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good

or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our

ongoing business relationship with you, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product

previously provided informed consent.

• Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on

your relationship with us.

• Comply with a legal obligation.

• Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a

verifiable consumer request to us by using the Contact Us Page here:

https://melrsosesportscard.com/pages/contact-us.

Only you, or someone legally authorized 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. To designate an authorized agent, use the Contact Us Page here:

https://melrsosesportscard.com/pages/contact-us. You may only make a verifiable consumer request

for access or data portability twice 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, which

may include name and other verifiable information.

• 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.

Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its

period in writing. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that

account. If you do not have an account with us, 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 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.

Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights

If you are 16 years of age or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell your personal

information at any time (the “right to opt-out”). We do not sell the personal information of

consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of age, unless we receive affirmative

authorization (the “right to opt-in”) from either the consumer who is at least 13 but not yet 16

years of age, or the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years of age. Consumers who

opt-in to personal information sales may opt-out of future sales at any time. To exercise the right

to opt-out, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us by visiting the

Contact Us Page here: https://melrsosesportscard.com/pages/contact-us with the title “Do Not Sell

My Personal Information”].

Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to

reauthorize personal information sales. However, you may change your mind and opt back in to

personal information sales at any time using the Contact Us Page here:

https://melrsosesportscard.com/pages/contact-us

You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights. We will only use

personal information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request.

 

Non-Discrimination

 

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted

by the CCPA, 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.

 

Page 11 of 11

 

However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result

in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will

reasonably relate to your personal information’s value and contain written terms that describe the

program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt

in consent, which you may revoke at any time.
