We do not use this information to operate a third-party data-broker business.

10. Your California Privacy Rights
Subject to applicable law and certain exceptions, California residents may have the following rights.
Right to Know
You may request information about:

- The specific pieces of personal information we maintain about you, subject to applicable exceptions
- The categories of sources from which information was collected
- The purposes for collecting or using personal information
- The categories of third parties to whom personal information is disclosed
- The categories of personal information disclosed, sold, or shared
- Other information required by applicable California law
California law generally provides consumers with access to information covering the applicable statutory period.
Right to Delete
You may request deletion of personal information that we collected from you, subject to exceptions under applicable law.
For example, we may retain information when necessary to:
- Complete a transaction
- Provide a requested service

- Detect or prevent fraud
- Comply with legal obligations
- Exercise or defend legal claims

We may request reasonable information necessary to determine whether the information should be corrected.
Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing
You may request that WhizWiser stop selling or sharing your personal information where applicable under the CCPA.
Because WhizWiser does not sell personal information for monetary consideration, the primary relevance of this right may be activities that qualify as “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising.
You may submit an opt-out request by contacting:
Where required by law, WhizWiser will also honor recognized Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals.
Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information
California residents may have the right to limit certain uses and disclosures of sensitive personal information.
WhizWiser does not intentionally collect sensitive personal information as part of ordinary Service use. Where applicable, we will process requests concerning this right in accordance with California law.
Right to Non-Discrimination
WhizWiser will not discriminate against you for exercising rights provided by applicable California privacy law.
This means we will not unlawfully:
- Deny you goods or services
- Charge you a different price
- Provide a different level or quality of service
- Otherwise penalize you
for exercising a privacy right.
11. How to Exercise Your California Privacy Rights
To exercise a California privacy right, contact:
Please identify the right you wish to exercise and provide enough information for us to understand and process your request.
For example:
“I am a California resident and would like to request deletion of my personal information.”
You may also use the account deletion functionality available within your WhizWiser account where applicable.
You do not need to purchase a product or create a new account solely to submit a privacy request.
12. Verification of Requests
To protect personal information from unauthorized disclosure or deletion, we may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.
The verification process may depend on the type and sensitivity of the request.
We may use information already associated with your account to verify the request.
We will not request unnecessary sensitive information solely for verification.
If we cannot reasonably verify your identity, we may be unable to fulfill certain requests where verification is legally required.
13. Authorized Agents
Where permitted by California law, you may designate an authorized agent to submit a privacy request on your behalf.
We may require appropriate documentation demonstrating that the agent has authority to act on your behalf and may separately verify your identity where legally permitted or required.
14. Response Time
We will respond to verifiable California privacy requests within the time periods required by applicable law.
If additional time is legally permitted and reasonably necessary, we may extend the response period and provide an explanation where required.
15. Global Privacy Control
Where required by applicable California law, WhizWiser will recognize an enabled Global Privacy Control signal as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information.
GPC is a browser or device-level privacy signal designed to communicate a consumer’s privacy preference to websites.

We use contractual, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the circumstances and applicable legal requirements.
22. California Consumer Privacy Requests for Business Users
Some WhizWiser customers are businesses, agencies, or other organizations.
Where WhizWiser processes personal information on behalf of a business customer under that customer’s instructions, the customer may be the business responsible for responding to certain consumer privacy requests.
In such circumstances, WhizWiser may act as a service provider or processor rather than as the business determining the purposes and means of processing.
If you believe your information was submitted to WhizWiser by one of our customers, you may wish to contact that organization directly.
WhizWiser will cooperate with applicable customer requests and contractual obligations concerning privacy rights.
