Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to web sites you visit. Like many online services, we currently do not alter our practices (that is, honor the do-not-track signal) when we receive a “Do Not Track” signal from a visitor’s browser. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” you can visit https://allaboutdnt.com/, but we are not responsible for the completeness or accuracy of this third-party information.

YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS.

We provide California residents with the option to opt-out of sharing “personal information” as defined by California’s “Shine the Light” law with third parties, including The Closet Trading Company affiliates or our authorized operators, for such third parties’ own direct marketing purposes. California residents may exercise that opt-out, and/or request information about The Closet Trading Company’s compliance with the Shine the Light law, by sending a letter to The Closet Trading Company at 714 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101 (Attention: Customer Service). Requests must include “California Privacy Rights Request” in the first line of the description and include your name, street address, city, state, and ZIP code. Please note that The Closet Trading Company is only required to respond to one request per customer each year.

In addition to the rights in this section, California residents have certain rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act. Please see below for our CCPA Privacy Notice.

Requests must include “California Privacy Rights Request” in the first line of the description and include your street address, city, state, and ZIP code. Requests must detail where the content or information is posted and attesting that you posted it. The Closet Trading Company will then make reasonably good faith efforts to remove the post from prospective public view or anonymize it so the minor cannot be individually identified to the extent required by applicable law.

For instance, third parties may have republished or archived content by search engines and others that The Closet Trading Company does not control.

At that time, we will create a process for verifying your identity and providing an opportunity to verified consumers to complete their opt-out. Please become familiar with our data practices as set forth in this Privacy Policy. We may share your data as explained in this Privacy Policy, such as to enhance your experiences and our services, and those activities will be unaffected by a Nevada do not sell request.

HOW LONG WILL COOKIES REMAIN ON MY COMPUTER OR MOBILE DEVICE?

The length of time that a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session cookies last until you stop browsing and persistent cookies last until they expire or are deleted. Most of the cookies we use are persistent and will expire between 30 minutes and two years from the date they are downloaded to your device. See the section below on how to control cookies for more information on removing them before they expire.

HOW TO CONTROL COOKIES?

You can control and manage cookies in various ways. Please keep in mind that removing or blocking cookies can negatively impact your user experience and parts of our website may no longer be fully accessible.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can choose whether or not to accept cookies through your browser controls, often found in your browser’s “Tools” or “Preferences” menu. For more information on how to modify your browser settings or how to block, manage or filter cookies can be found in your browser’s help file or through such sites as: www.allaboutcookies.org.

Many of the third-party advertising and other tracking services listed above offer you the opportunity to opt out of their tracking systems. You can read more about the information they collect and how to opt out through the privacy policy links listed above.

Further, you can learn more about your choices regarding certain kinds of online interest-based advertising above. We do not represent that these third-party tools, programs, or statements are complete or accurate.

Some browsers have signals that may be characterized as do not track signals, but we do not understand them to operate in that manner or to indicate a do not sell expression by you, so we currently do not recognize these as a do not sell request. We understand that various parties are developing do not sell signals and technologies, and we may recognize certain such signals if we conclude such a program is appropriate.

California Consumers have the right to exercise the privacy rights under the CCPA. California Consumers may exercise these rights via an authorized agent who meets the agency requirements of the CCPA.

The type of request: Opt-out (Do Not Sell), Delete Your Info, Categories of Your Information, Specific Pieces of Your Information, No Marketing Emails, or Other. You must include your First Name, Last Name, Email Address, Country of Residence, State of Residence, Zip Code of Residence, any additional Request Details. By submitting a Verifiable Consumer Request, you affirm that the information provided is accurate, that you are the person whose name appears on the request, and that you are a California resident. You understand that The Closet Trading Company will contact you at the email address provided to verify you are the person making this request. Please respond to any follow up inquires we may make. You may also obtain information on how to make, and may submit, a request by asking a manager at any of our California retail locations.

Some Personal Information we maintain about Consumers is not sufficiently associated with enough personal information about the Consumer for us to be able to verify that it is a particular Consumer’s personal information (e.g., clickstream data tied only to a pseudonymous browser ID). As required by the CCPA, we do not include that personal information in response to Verifiable Consumer Requests. If we cannot comply with a request, we will explain the reasons in our response.

We will make commercially reasonable efforts to identify Personal Information that we collect, process, store, disclose, and otherwise use and to respond to your California Consumer privacy rights requests. We will typically not charge a fee to fully respond to your requests, but we may charge a reasonable fee, or refuse to act upon a request, if your request is excessive, repetitive, unfounded, or overly burdensome.

To make a request according to your rights to know or to request deletion of your Personal Information set forth below, Please provide the following information to info@theclosetsb.net: If you are a: In-store Customer, Online Customer, Rewards Member, Consignor, or other. The type of request: Opt-out (Do Not Sell), Delete Your Info, Categories of Your Information, Specific Pieces of Your Information, No Marketing Emails, or Other.

By submitting a Verifiable Consumer Request, you affirm that the information provided is accurate, that you are the person whose name appears on the request, and that you are a California resident. You understand that The Closet Trading Company will contact you at the email address provided to verify you are the person making this request. Please respond to any follow up inquires we may make or call us at (310) 396-5013. When you contact us to make a request, we will ask you to provide certain information that we will use to verify your identity. We will use the information that you provide in order to determine if it matches with information in our systems. We reserve the right to follow up and request additional information in order to verify your identity. For your specific pieces of information, as required by the CCPA, we may apply heightened verification standards.

You have the right to send us a request, no more than twice in a twelve-month period, for any of the following for the period that is twelve months prior to the request date:

The categories of Personal Information we have collected about you.

The categories of sources from which we collected your Personal Information.

The business or commercial purposes for our collecting or selling your Personal Information.

The categories of third parties to whom we have shared your Personal Information.

The specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you.

A list of the categories of Personal Information disclosed for a business purpose in the prior 12 months or that no disclosure occurred.

You have the right to make or obtain a transportable copy, no more than twice in a twelve-month period, of your Personal Information that we have collected in the period that is 12 months prior to the request date and are maintaining.

Please note that Personal Information is retained by us for various time periods, so we may not be able to fully respond to what might be relevant going back 12 months prior to the request.

Except to the extent we have a basis for retention under CCPA, you may request that we delete your Personal Information that we have collected directly from you and are maintaining. Note also that we are not required to delete your Personal Information that we did not collect directly from you.

You may alternatively exercise more limited control of your Personal Information by instead exercising one of the following more limited opt-outs: commercial email opt-out or deletion of your The Closet Trading Company account.

We will not discriminate against you in a manner prohibited by the CCPA because you exercise your CCPA rights. However, we may charge a different price or rate, or offer a different level or quality of good or service, to the extent that doing so is reasonably related to the value of the applicable data. In addition, we may offer you financial incentives for the collection, sale, and retention and use of your Personal Information as permitted by the CCPA that can, without limitation, result in reasonably different prices, rates, or quality levels. The material aspects of any financial incentive will be explained and described in its program terms if the program exists. Please note that participating in incentive programs is entirely optional, you will have to affirmatively opt-in to the program and you can opt-out of each program (i.e., terminate participation and forgo the ongoing incentives) prospectively by following the instructions in the applicable program description and terms. We may add or change incentive programs and/or their terms by posting notice on the program descriptions and terms linked to above so check them regularly.
