This Supplemental Privacy Policy for California Residents (“Supplemental Privacy Policy”) supplements and is expressly made part of the information contained in Griffis Residential’ s (“Griffis”) Privacy Policy, available at https://griffisresidential.com/privacy-policy/, and applies solely to visitors to our websites, our customers and others who reside in the State of California (“consumers” or “you”). We adopt this Supplemental Privacy Policy to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”).

1. Personal Information We Collect
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means any information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or device (“Personal Information”).

Where applicable, we indicate whether and why you must provide us with your Personal Information, as well as the consequences of failing to do so. If you do not provide Personal Information when requested, you may not be able to benefit from the particular service, product or functionality if that information is necessary to provide you with such service, product or functionality or if we are legally required to collect it.

Generally, we may collect and disclose the categories of Personal Information in the table below. Please note, the examples of Personal Information are for informational purposes only and any reference to a specific type of Personal Information is not a representation that we actually collect that specific type of Personal Information. Additionally, the categories identified below cover all categories of Personal Information that we collect, use and disclose. Thus, some categories of Personal Information may not be collected from or about a specific individual.

4. How We Share Personal Information

Griffis may disclose your Personal Information to third parties as described in our Privacy Policy and for certain other business purposes.

7. Your Rights and Choices

The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their Personal Information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights

You have the right to request that Griffis disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of Personal Information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see How to Exercise Your Rights), we will disclose to you, based on what you request:

Deletion Request Rights

You have the right to request that Griffis 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 (see How to Exercise Your Rights), 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 providers to:

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise the access, data portability and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:

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.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

We cannot respond to your request to exercise your access, data portability and/or deletion rights 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. However, we do consider requests made through your password-protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to Personal Information associated with that specific account.

We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format

We attempt to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days after we receive it. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing within 45 days after we receive your initial request.

If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period prior to the date we receive the verifiable consumer request. The response we provide will also provide the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights

At this time, Griffis does not sell any Personal Information. The CCPA does grant consumers rights with respect to the sale of their Personal Information. If you are 16 years of age or older, you have the right to direct companies not to sell your Personal Information at any time. If you are between 13 and 16 years of age, your Personal Information can only be sold by companies that you provide affirmatively authorize to sell your Personal Information. If you are less than 13 years of age, your Personal Information can only be sold by companies that your parent or legal guardian affirmatively authorizes to sell your Personal Information. Consumers who opt-in to Personal Information sales may opt-out of future sales at any time.

Non-Discrimination

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

However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your Personal Information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt-in consent, which you may revoke at any time.

Other California Privacy Rights

California Civil Code Section 1798.83, you have the right to request us to disclose the identity of any third parties to whom we have disclosed Personal Information within the previous calendar year, along with the type of Personal Information we disclosed, for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. Please note that we are only required to respond to a customer request once during any calendar year, and only if we are covered by such California Civil Code section. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, contact us at ccparequests@griffisresidential.com . Please be aware that not all information sharing is covered by this California law and only information sharing that is covered will be included in our response. We reserve the right not to respond to requests submitted to addresses other than the addresses specified in this paragraph.

8. Changes to this Supplemental Privacy Policy

Griffis reserves the right to amend this Supplemental Privacy Policy at our discretion at any time. When we make changes to this Supplemental Privacy Policy, we will post the Supplemental Privacy Policy on the Sites and update the Supplemental Privacy Policy’s effective date. Your continued use of our websites following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes.
