YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

In the last twelve months, M.Gemi has collected, used, shared and sold (under the very broad meaning of sale under the CCPA), for business purposes, personal information about you as described in this Privacy Policy. Each category of data may be used by M.Gemi or shared with third parties also as described in this Privacy Policy. If you are a California resident, the CCPA permits you to request information about our practices related to the disclosure of your personal information to certain third parties for their direct marketing purposes. You may be able to opt-out of our sharing of your personal information with unaffiliated third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes in certain circumstances. Please send your request (along with your full name, email address, postal address, and the subject line labeled “Your California Privacy Rights”) by email to californiaprivacy@mgemi.com or by mail to M.Gemi 268 Summer Street, 6th Floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02210, USA. You may also call us at +1-844-574-4364 to submit your request. If you do not provide this required information, we may not be able to respond to you.

M.Gemi will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights under the CCPA. Specifically, we will not:

  • Deny access to our Site;
  • Charge a different rate for any of our products; or
  • Provide a different quality of service.

California Shine the Light

Residents of the State of California, under California Civil Code § 1798.83, have the right to request from companies conducting business in California a list of all third parties to which the company has disclosed personal information during the preceding year for direct marketing purposes. Alternatively, the law provides that if the company has a privacy policy that gives either an opt-out or opt-in choice for use of your personal information by third parties (such as advertisers) for marketing purposes, the company may instead provide you with information on how to exercise your disclosure choice options.

M.Gemi qualifies for the alternative option. We have a comprehensive privacy policy, and provide you with details on how you may either opt-out or opt-in to the use of your personal information by third parties for direct marketing purposes. Therefore, we are not required to maintain or disclose a list of the third parties that received your personal information for marketing purposes during the preceding year.

 

NEVADA RESIDENTS

Nevada law gives Nevada consumers the right to request that a company not sell their personal information for monetary consideration to certain other parties.  This right applies even if their personal information is not currently being sold.  If you are a Nevada consumer and wish to exercise this right, please submit your request by sending us an email to nevadaprivacy@mgemi.com or by mail to M.Gemi 268 Summer Street, 6th Floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02210, USA.

 

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

We do not knowingly or intentionally collect personal information from children under age 13. If you are not 18 or older, you are not authorized to use the Services. Parents should be aware that there are parental control tools available online that you can use to prevent your children from submitting information online without parental permission or from accessing material that is harmful to minors.

 

PRIVACY POLICY CHANGES

If we decide to change this Privacy Policy, we will post the revised Privacy Policy here so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might use that information and whether we may disclose it to anyone. Your continued use of the Services indicates your consent to the Privacy Policy as posted.
