California Consumer Privacy Rights Notice

Effective Date: August 5, 2022

This California Consumer Privacy Rights Notice (“Notice”) sets forth Westnet’s disclosure obligations under California law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) and the California Civil Code section 1798.83. This Notice provides the additional details regarding the information defined as ‘personal information’ under applicable California law and related to a California resident or household (“Consumers” and “You”) further referred to as “Personal Information.”

1. Personal Information Collected and Disclosed:

Westnet collects, uses and/or discloses Personal Information as follows:

Other Potential Third Party Disclosures:  Personal Information may also be disclosed to third parties to serve our legitimate business interests as follows: (a) as required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena, or similar legal process, (b) as part of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy or other transaction in which a third party assumes control of all or part of the business, (c) to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities or to assist government enforcement agencies as required by law; (d) enforce our agreements with you, and/or (e) investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations.

2. Sale of Personal Information

Westnet does not sell and will not sell your Personal Information. However, under the CCPA, some sharing of personal information necessary to provide you with personalized ads may be considered a “sale,” even if no money is exchanged. We aren’t changing how we share your data, but we want to make sure you have choices under the new definition of “sale.”

If you request to opt out of such sharing by email at privacy@westnet-inc.com, Westnet will stop sharing your information with its advertising partners. As a result, you may no longer receive personalized offers from on some sites or services. We will use the data gathered here only to process your request and for record-keeping as required by the CCPA.

C. Verified Request Process

Westnet will verify all consumer requests prior to taking any action in response to such request.  For consumers that maintain an account with WESTNET, it may verify the identity of the consumer making the request by either matching with the account information on file or through existing account authentication credentials.  For non-account holders, Westnet shall verify to a reasonably high degree of certainty, including matching at least three pieces of consumer personal information with that maintained by Westnet and/or if necessary, by a signed statement by consumer under penalty of perjury that the requestor is the consumer for which personal information is sought.

Under the CCPA, you may exercise these rights yourself or you may designate an authorized agent to make these requests on your behalf.  Authorized agents must demonstrate they have written authorization from you to make requests on your behalf. Westnet may additionally require the consumer to confirm their identity and verify the authorized agent’s permission before complying with any request.

D. Consumer Request Limitations

Please note that these rights are not absolute and in certain cases are subject to conditions or limitations as specified in the CCPA, including, but not limited to:

• Westnet is obligated to disclose/delete only upon a verifiable Consumer request from the consumer or an authorized agent acting on behalf of Consumer.
• Consumers may only make a personal information request twice in a 12-month period.
• Deletion is not required because it is necessary for Westnet to maintain the Personal Information to fulfill the purposes enumerated in CCPA Section 1798.105

Westnet will confirm and respond to all requests within the timeframe required under the CCPA.  In responding to any request to disclose/delete, Westnet shall maintain a record of the requests as required under the CCPA.

4. Non-Discrimination Policy

You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising any rights conferred by the CCPA.   Westnet shall not discriminate against a consumer for exercising any rights under the CCPA, including, but not limited to, (a) denying goods or services, (b) charging different prices or rates (including discounts/penalties) that is not directly related to the value provided to Westnet for the Personal Information, or (c) suggesting Consumer will receive a different rate/price or different level of quality of goods/services
