YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS AS A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT. 

The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA” or “Act”) grants residents of the State of California certain privacy rights in their personal information. This Section only applies to visitors and users of our website who are California residents (hereinafter “you” or “consumer”). This Notice does not apply to personal information collected from California-based employees, owners, or contractors.

We may collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer, household, or device (“CCPA personal information”). CCPA Personal information does not include:

1. 1. 1. 1. Publicly available information from government records;
         2. Deidentified or aggregated consumer information; and
         3. Information excluded from the CCPA’s scope.

We currently collect, or have collected within the last 12 months, the following categories of CCPA personal information from consumers:

The CCPA provides California residents with the right to request that we disclose:

1. 1. 1. Categories of any personal information we collected about you;
      2. Specific pieces of personal information we collected about you;
      3. Categories of sources for any personal information we collected about you;
      4. Our business or commercial purpose for collecting that personal information;
      5. Categories of any third parties with whom we shared your personal information;
      6. Categories of any personal information we disclosed about you for a business purpose;
      7. Your right to request that we delete any personal information about you that we collected from you, subject to certain exceptions outlined below; and
      8. our right not to receive discriminatory treatment for the exercise of your privacy rights conferred by CCPA.

By availing yourself to any of the rights afforded in this Privacy Notice you are declaring that you are a California resident.

Requests to Know or Delete CCPA Personal Information

You have the right to request that we disclose to you or delete any CCPA personal information collected from you. To make such a request, please send an email to hello@shengeneration.com or write us at: 

Shen Generation

Attn: Website Terms of Service

4350 Coolidge Ave

Los Angeles, CA 91001

Once we receive and confirm your request, we will provide you with your CCPA personal information, or delete the information from our records unless an exception applies. The CCPA provides that we are not required to comply with a request to delete personal information if the information is necessary for us to:

1. 1. 1. Comply with a legal obligation;
      2. Complete the transaction for which the information was collected, provide a good or service you requested, perform a contract with you, to fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, or take actions reasonably anticipated in the context of our ongoing business relationship with you;
      3. Detect security incidents, protect against deceptive, malicious, fraudulent or illegal activity, or to prosecute those responsible for that activity;
      4. Debug products, services or applications to identify and repair errors that impair existing functionality;
      5. Exercise free speech, to ensure the rights of others to exercise their free speech rights, or to exercise another right provided by law;
      6. Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code §1546 et. seq.);
      7. Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based upon your relationship with us; or
      8. Make other internal and lawful uses of the information that are compatible with the context in which you provided the information.

Before we respond to any request involving personal information, the CCPA requires that we confirm the identity of the person making the request, and if the request is made on behalf of another person, his or her authority to make the request on the other person’s behalf. We are not obligated to provide or to delete any information pursuant to your request if we are unable to adequately verify your identity or the identity of the person making the request on your behalf. Accordingly, we reserve the right to deny any request where we are unable to satisfactorily confirm your identity. If you have authorized someone to make a request on your behalf, we reserve the right to deny the request if we are unable to adequately verify the identity of that person or if we are unable to verify that the individual making the request is authorized to act on your behalf.

Limitations on Disclosures of CCPA Personal Information

We are not obligated under the CCPA to respond to any request where compliance or disclosure would violate an evidentiary privilege under California law, or conflict with federal or state law. The CCPA does not require that we provide personal information to a consumer more than twice in a twelve-month period; any disclosures we make will only cover the twelve (12) month period preceding the request.

We will not charge a fee to process or respond to your request and will provide information free of charge. Where a person’s requests are repetitive, manifestly unfounded or excessive, the CCPA authorizes us to either charge a reasonable fee that takes into account our administrative costs or refuse to act on the request and notify the person making the request our reason for refusing the request. If we determine that a request warrants a fee, we will explain our decision and will provide you with a cost estimate.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. This means, for instance, that we will not deny you services, charge you a different price, including a discount or other benefit or impose a penalty for the exercise of your CCPA rights.

YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS AS A VISITOR FROM OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES.

If you are visiting our website from outside the United States, any information you voluntarily provide via our website and any technical information from your browser will be transferred out of your country and into the U.S. The laws and protections available to the privacy of your personal information in the U.S. may significantly differ from the protections available in your country. Personal data transferred to the U.S. may be subject to lawful access requests by state and federal authorities in the U.S. If you do not want any personal information to be transferred to the U.S., please do not provide that information to us via our website. 

Visitors from the European Union

For purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), we are the data controller for any personal information provided via our website. We do not have a data protection officer in the EU. Any information that you provide to us will be stored in the United States; we do not intend to transfer your personal data to another country or international organization. We will retain any personal information that you provide via our website for seven (7) years from the date you provided or last updated that information, unless you request that information be deleted at an earlier date.

To exercise any of the rights granted to natural persons by the GDPR involving the privacy of their information, please send an email to hello@shengeneration.com or write us at: 

Shen Generation

Attn: Website Terms of Service

4350 Coolidge Ave

Los Angeles, CA 91001

We will review any requests we receive and will endeavor to respond in a timely manner. For security reasons, we may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity before taking action on any request, and to ensure your right of access and the exercise any of GDPR right does not adversely affect the rights of others.

We reserve the right to refuse to act on a request, or to charge a reasonable administrative fee when a request is either manifestly unfounded or excessive because of its repetitive character.

DATA SECURITY. 

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. 

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Site. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Site.

It is our policy to post any changes we make to our privacy policy on this page. If we make material changes to how we treat our users’ personal information, we will notify you by email to the primary email address specified in your account or through a notice on the Site home page. The date the privacy policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page. You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date active and deliverable email address for you, and for periodically visiting our Site and this privacy policy to check for any changes.
