6. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

7. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. For residents of California, these rights include:

Right to Know: You have the right to request that we disclose what personal information we collect, use, disclose, and sell/share.
Right to Delete: You have the right to request the deletion of your personal information that we have collected, subject to certain exceptions.
Right to Correct: You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information that we maintain about you.
Right to Opt-Out of Sale/Sharing: You have the right to opt-out of the "sale" or "sharing" (for cross-context behavioral advertising) of your personal information. CANGREE does not currently "sell" your personal information in the traditional sense, but we may "share" it for targeted advertising purposes as defined by California law.
Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA/CPRA rights.

To exercise these rights, please contact us at legal@cangree.com or +1 (949) 641-6060. We will verify your request by matching information you provide with information we have on file. You may also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf.
