We reserve the right to use such anonymous and de-identified data for any legitimate business purpose, including sharing it with utility companies, without further notice to you or your consent.

• If you would like further information about our data retention practices, please contact us.

V.  PERSONAL INFORMATION SALES OPT-OUT AND OPT-IN RIGHTS AND OTHER CONSUMER REQUESTS

The CCPA provides California residents with the following privacy rights:

• Right to Know: Consumers have a right to request information about the personal information that we collect, use, disclose, and sell, and to whom.

•  Right to Limit: Consumers have the right to request that we limit the use and disclosure of their sensitive personal information.

• Right to Delete: Consumers have a right to request the deletion of personal information that we have collected from them, though we may be permitted to retain personal information for certain purposes.

• Right to Correct: Consumers have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information that we maintain about the consumer.

• Right to Opt Out of Sales: We disclose your information to select third parties to enhance your experiences with us, to improve our ability to serve you, to keep you aware of our products, services, and offers, and to tailor the offers and promotions displayed to you online by select third party advertisers to your interests. California law may treat some of such disclosures as sales, and consumers have a right to direct us not to sell their personal information.

• Non-Discrimination: We may not discriminate against you for exercising your rights under the CCPA. We may, however, provide a different level of service or charge a different rate if the difference is reasonably related to the value of your information.

Navien does not sell, share rent or trade any personal information to third parties. Nonetheless, if you are 16 years of age or older, you have the right to know, correct, delete, or direct us not to sell your personal information at any time (the “right to opt-out”).

We do not sell or share the personal information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of age, unless we receive affirmative authorization (the “right to opt-in”) from either the consumer who is between 13 and 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years of age. Consumers who opt-in to personal information sales may opt-out of future sales at any time. If you believe your personal information is inaccurate or incomplete, your rights allow you to correct this information.

To submit a verifiable consumer request, Navien requires that you provide the following information that will be used to verify your identity and process your request:

•       First and last name

•       Email address

•       Postal address

•       State of residence

Navien may require additional information to process your request, depending upon the type of request and its sensitivity. If we determine the information provided is not sufficient for verification, additional questions may be asked to determine your identity. Navien may also require you to provide a written declaration to determine the validity of your identity.

You may submit a verifiable consumer request as often as you like; however, Navien is not required to provide personal data to you more than twice in at least twelve (12) months. You may change your mind and opt back in to personal information sales at any time by submitting a request to us at the web address above.

ou do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights. We will only use personal information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request.

For all verifiable consumer requests, please allow 45 days for us to respond.

If you have questions or concerns about our privacy policies or information practices, or to exercise the right to know, correct, limit, delete, opt-out or to submit any other verifiable consumer request, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us by calling 800-519-8794 or by completing the online form located at https://www.navieninc.com/contact.
