We take appropriate security measures (including physical, electronic and procedural measures) to help safeguard your personal information from unauthorized access and disclosure. For example, only authorized employees are permitted to access personal information, and they may do so only for permitted business functions. In addition, we use encryption in the transmission of your sensitive personal information between your system and ours, and we use firewalls to help prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to your personal information.

We want you to feel confident using our websites to transact business. However, no system can be completely secure. Therefore, although we take steps to secure your information, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information, searches, or other communications will always remain secure. Users should also take care with how they handle and disclose their personal information and should avoid sending personal information through insecure email. 

External service providers who have access to personal data in the course of their activities must sign a data processing agreement (Article 28 GDPR) with us, which obliges them to implement the necessary and appropriate steps to protect the personal data provided to them.

Your personal data may be transferred to countries outside of the EEA. In such cases, we take all necessary steps to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy and the GDPR. This includes ensuring that the recipient country ensures an adequate level of protection or that we have put in place appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

7. DATA RETENTION PERIOD

Your personal data will be stored by us only as long as it is necessary to achieve the purposes for which it was collected or – if there are any legal retention periods beyond this – for the duration of the legally prescribed retention period. Subsequently, your personal data will be deleted.

9. DATA DELETION

In accordance with applicable law, you may have the right to request the deletion or restriction of the processing of your personal data if, for example, there is no longer a legitimate business purpose for such processing under this Privacy Policy or applicable law and legal retention obligations do not prevent further storage.

11. CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS: The California Consumer Privacy Act

The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) provides California resident users (referred to here as “California consumers”) with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes California consumers’ rights and explains how they can exercise them.

Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights

California consumers have the right to certain information about TeePublic’s collection and use of their personal information over the past 12 months. This Privacy Policy describes the types of personal information TeePublic collects, how it is processed by TeePublic and the third parties with whom TeePublic shares such information and the purpose for that sharing.

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

California consumers have the right to request that TeePublic deletes any of their personal information collected from them, subject to certain exceptions set out in the CCPA. These rights may be exercised by clicking this link: Do not sell my Personal Information or by e-mailing [email protected]. Only the relevant California consumer, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that is authorized to act on a California consumer’s behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to that California consumer’s personal information. California consumers can also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of their minor child.

California consumers may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period.

The verifiable consumer request must:

1. provide sufficient information that allows TeePublic to reasonably verify identity; and

2. describe the request with sufficient detail that allows TeePublic to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

Response Timing and Format

TeePublic will endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If more time is required (up to 90 days), TeePublic will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. There is no fee for processing verifiable consumer requests unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.

Non-Discrimination

TeePublic will not discriminate against anyone for exercising any of their CCPA rights. However, certain financial incentives may be offered to the extent permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive that is offered will reasonably relate to California consumers’ personal information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program would require prior opt in consent, which may be revoked at any time.

Other California Privacy Rights

California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits California consumers to request certain information regarding TeePublic’s disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please e-mail to [email protected].
