6. Data Security

The security of your personal information is very important to us. We have implemented reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. These measures include, but are not limited to:

• Encryption: We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt data transmitted between your browser and our servers, particularly for sensitive information like login credentials.
• Access Controls: Access to your personal information is restricted to authorized employees, contractors, and agents who need to know that information in order to operate, develop, or improve our services. All such individuals are subject to strict contractual confidentiality obligations and may be disciplined or terminated if they fail to meet these obligations.
• Regular Security Audits: We regularly review our information collection, storage, and processing practices, including physical security measures, to guard against unauthorized access to systems.
• Data Minimization: We strive to collect only the personal information that is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed, reducing the risk associated with data breaches.
• Anonymization and Pseudonymization: Where feasible, we anonymize or pseudonymize data to protect your identity while still allowing us to perform analytics and improve our services.
• Employee Training: Our employees receive regular training on data protection best practices and security awareness.
• Incident Response Plan: We have a robust incident response plan in place to address any potential data breaches quickly and effectively, minimizing harm and ensuring compliance with notification requirements.
• Third-Party Security: We require our third-party service providers to implement and maintain appropriate security measures to protect the personal information they process on our behalf.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

For example, if you have an account with us, we will retain your account information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. If you opt-in to receive marketing communications, we will retain your email address until you unsubscribe. Usage data is generally retained for a shorter period, unless it is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our service, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer time periods.

In some circumstances, we may anonymize your personal information (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

8. Your Data Protection Rights

This includes situations where the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or where you withdraw consent and there is no other legal ground for processing.
• Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data, under certain conditions. This may apply if you contest the accuracy of the data, if the processing is unlawful, or if we no longer need the data but you require it for legal claims.

13. Your California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), grants you specific rights regarding your personal information. This section describes your CCPA/CPRA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

13.1. Right to Know:

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:

• The categories of personal information we collected about you.
• The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
• Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
• The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
• The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).

  • disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.

13.2. Right to Delete:

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

1. Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
2. Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
3. Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
4. Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
5. Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.).
6.

ChatoriCode does not "sell" personal information in the traditional sense (i.e., exchanging it for monetary value). However, under California law, sharing certain data with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising may be considered "sharing." We do not currently engage in such "sharing" of your personal information. If our practices change, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide a clear mechanism for you to opt-out.

13.4. Right to Correct Inaccurate Personal Information:

You have the right to request the correction of inaccurate personal information we maintain about you.

13.5. Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information:

ChatoriCode does not typically collect sensitive personal information from its users.

13.6. Non-Discrimination:

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA/CPRA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA/CPRA, we will not:

• Deny you goods or services.
• Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.

13.7. Exercising Your CCPA/CPRA Rights:

To exercise the rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by contacting us via the methods provided in the "Contact Information" section below. Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. The verifiable consumer request must: (i) Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative; and (ii) Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.
