We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before fulfilling your request to know or delete.

We may also ask for supplemental information as needed to establish your identity.

If you opt out of the sale of your Personal Information, we may still share your Personal Information with third parties if those transfers are not sales, such as with our Affiliates or our Service Providers.
Response Timing and Procedures
We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
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.
Categories of Personal Information We Disclose
We may disclose your Personal Information to a third party for a business purpose. In the preceding 12 months, we have disclosed the following categories of Personal Information for a business purpose:
Categories of Personal Information We Sell
In the preceding 12 months, we have sold the following categories of Personal Information for a business purpose:
Identifiers, Commercial information
Do Not Track
California Business & Professions Code Section 22575(b) provides that California residents are entitled to know how a website operator responds to “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) browser settings. DNT is a feature offered by some browsers which, when enabled, sends a signal to websites to request that your browsing is not tracked, such as by third party ad networks, social networks and analytic companies. We do not currently take actions to respond to DNT signals because a uniform technological standard has not yet been developed. We continue to review new technologies and may adopt a DNT standard once one is created. For information about DNT, visit All About DNT.
Shine the Light
California’s “Shine the Light” law, Cal. Civil Code §1798.83, gives California customers the right to prevent our disclosure of their Personal Information to third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes. Businesses may have in place a policy not to disclose Personal Information of customers to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes if the customer has exercised an option to opt-out of such information-sharing. We have such a policy in place.
Purposes of Processing
We process your Personal Information to process your requests, to administer the Service, facilitate access by Service Providers and Third-Party Businesses, make marketing communications, facilitate health, safety and legal requests, , transfer or sell our business, and to combine data sets.
Legal Basis for Processing
We rely on the legitimate interest basis of processing for the other activities described above because processing Personal Information is necessary to provide you with our Products and to respond to your requests, our activities are reasonably expected by our customers, and those activities do not unduly and negatively affect the privacy rights of our customers. When you make a purchase, sign-up to attend or participate at an event or conference, or engage in another type of transaction with us, we may process your Personal Information to fulfill that contract. We may also process your Personal Information to comply with legal obligations to which we are subject and cooperate with regulators and enforcement bodies.
Transfers
Your Personal Information may be processed in or transferred to the U.S. or elsewhere in the world. We will ensure that transfers of Personal Information to a third country or an international organization are subject to appropriate safeguards (such as contractual commitments) in accordance with applicable legal requirements to ensure that your data is adequately protected. For more information on the appropriate safeguards in place, please contact the Data Protection Officer by email at dataprivacy@equinenetwork.com or as described at the end of this section.
Erasure and Restriction of Personal Data
Unless otherwise provided for in this data protection declaration for individual cases, your Personal Information may be erased if this data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or was in any other way processed and if there are no legal obligations that require us to keep it. We will also erase your Personal Information processed by us upon request, in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR, if the conditions described therein are met. If your Personal Information is required for other legally permissible purposes, the data will not be erased, but its processing will be restricted in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR. In the event of a restriction, the data will not be processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to Personal Information that we must keep for commercial or tax reasons.
