NOTICE TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
The California Consumer Protection Act (CCPA) gives California residents rights to receive certain disclosures regarding the collection, use, and sharing of Personal Information, as well as rights to control this information.
It is important to note that the CCPA excludes Personal Information already covered by financial services privacy laws such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) or California Financial Information Privacy Act (CFIPA). As a result, the disclosures and rights granted by the CCPA do not apply to Personal Information related to a financial account. If you are a customer or consumer of our Financial Products, please consult the Privacy Notice associated with those product(s) to learn about our information practices and your privacy rights.
In this section, the capitalized words have the meaning as stated in the CCPA (and any final regulations, when available).
Collection and Disclosure of Personal Information.
Global Primex LLC may collect Identifiers from or about California residents for direct marketing purposes (i.e., in order to promote our Financial Products). We may obtain this information from our lead generation partners. In order for Global Primex LLC to receive your information from one of our partners, you must opt-in to the partner sharing your information for direct marketing purposes or the partner may collect your information from publicly available sources. Global Primex LLC keeps a record of your opt-in to ensure that we are not marketing to prospects without consent.
If you have received direct marketing from Global Primex LLC, there are cases where Global Primex LLC is not able to determine a prospect’s current contact information with the information provided by our lead generation partners. In those cases, Global Primex LLC uses third-party identity resolution service providers in order to verify the address and aid us in determining whether to use the lead, in which case we will share contact information with these third-party service providers; however, our identity resolution service providers are contractually not permitted to use your information for any other purpose.
Global Primex LLC does not Sell Personal Information as that term is defined in the CCPA.
Use of Personal Information
Global Primex LLC uses this Personal Information:
to market Financial Products
to measure ad impressions to unique visitors, verify positioning and quality of ad impressions
to audit compliance with web standards
to improve our products and services
for debugging, user enhancement, and other analytical purposes.
Right of Access and Deletion under CCPA
California residents have the right to request a copy of (i) the Categories of Personal Information that about you, (ii) the Specific Pieces of Personal Information we’ve collected about you, (iii) the Categories of Sources from which we collect your Personal Information, (iv) the purpose for collecting your Personal Information, and (v) the Categories of Third Parties to whom we Disclosed your Personal Information.
You also have the right to request deletion of Personal Information, subject to exceptions stated in the CCPA.
Making an Access or Deletion Request
California residents may make an access or deletion request, you can call (305) 602-8344, write Global Primex LLC, Customer Service, 520 Brickell Key Dr., Suite O-305, Miami, FL 33131, or emailinfo@gp.com. If you are not a resident of California, you may submit a request and we will process it even though the CCPA does not require us to do so. We reserve the right to change or stop the practice of accepting requests from individuals who are not California residents at any time and without prior notice.
For security purposes, the CCPA requires us to verify your identity before we are able to process an access or deletion request. As such, we may ask you to provide additional such as your first and last name, address, telephone number, email address, or other personal identifiers. This information will only be used for verification purposes.
Once we have verified your identity we will respond to your request as appropriate. For access requests, the requested information will be sent to you. For deletion requests, we may seek to confirm whether your request is for us to delete your Personal Information or opt you out of receiving marketing. Opting you out of receiving marketing allows us to maintain your Personal Information but flag it so that you do not receive further offers from Global Primex LLC. If we do not maintain this flag we will no longer have any record of you after fulfilling your deletion request, and it is possible that we again receive your information from one of our lead generation partners, in which case you may receive marketing from us again. We explain this in order to ensure we are meeting consumers’ preferences. If we are unable to confirm your request, we will default to deleting your Personal Information.
Please allow up to 45 days for a response to access and deletion requests.
