This Privacy Policy for California Residents supplements the information contained in Ingram's Privacy Practices Notice . It applies solely to all visitors, users, and others who reside in the State of California ("consumers" or "you"). We adopt this Notice to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA), and any terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this Notice.
This policy does not apply to workforce-related personal information collected from California-based employees, job applicants, contractors, or similar individuals.
Where noted in this policy, the CCPA temporarily exempts personal information reflecting a written or verbal business-to-business communication ("B2B personal information") from some of its requirements.
Our Website collects information that identifies, describes, references, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer, household, or device ("personal information"). Personal information does not include:
In particular, our Website has collected the following categories of personal information from Consumers within the last twelve (12) months:
We may also collect, use, and disclose your personal information as required or permitted by applicable law. We do not treat de-identified data or aggregate consumer information as personal information. We reserve the right to convert or permit others to convert your personal information into de-identified data or aggregate consumer information.
Our Website obtains the categories of personal information listed above from the following categories of sources:
Sources of personal information.
We collect some personal information that you provide directly to us, including without limiting, contact information, communication information, your feedback, order information, payment information, pictures, preferences, and videos that you send us, and other information you provide to us.
We may also collect some personal information automatically from cookies, pixels, and similar technologies when you use our services. This can include your browsing activities, information about your devices, and other information collected through web beacons, cookies, pixels, and similar technologies.
We create some personal information when you use our services. This can include analytics and inferences about your interests, demographics, and shopping preferences.
We collect personal information from other companies, including without limiting, advertisers, Facebook, Twitter, and other similar platforms, that supplement the personal information we already have.
We may use and disclose the personal information we collect for one or more of the purposes specified in the How We use your information above.
We may share your personal information by disclosing it to a third party as necessary to serve a business purpose.
We only make these business purpose disclosures under written contracts that describe the purposes, require the recipient to keep the personal information confidential and prohibit using the disclosed information for any purpose except performing the contract.
Ingram does not believe it has sold (as the term “sale” is defined by the CCPA) Consumer personal information in the past twelve (12) months. As the law evolves, we may revisit this conclusion and, if applicable, revise this Notice. See the Do Not Sell Rights section below regarding our current conclusion that data collection by third-party cookies associated with our web sites is not a sale under the CCPA.
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.
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 (the "right to know"). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete), we will disclose to you:
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 (the "right to delete"). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete), we will review your request to see if an exception allowing us to retain the information applies. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:
We will delete or de-identify personal information not subject to one of these exceptions from our records and will direct our service providers to take similar action.
We do not provide these deletion rights for B2B personal information.
To exercise your rights to know or delete described above, please submit a request by either:
Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may request to know or delete related to your personal information.
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.
You do not need to create an account with us to submit a request to know or delete it.
We will only use personal information provided in the request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make it.
We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) business days. If you do not receive confirmation within the 10-day timeframe, please contact legal@ingramcontent.com.
We strive to substantively respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of the verified receipt. If we require more time (up to another 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
If you have an account with us, we may 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 months preceding our receipt of your request. The response we provide will also explain why 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 allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another 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.
We may disclose your personal information for the following purposes, which are not a sale: (i) if you direct us to share personal information; (ii) to comply with your requests under the CCPA; (iii) as part of a merger or asset sale; and (iv) as otherwise required or permitted by applicable law and this Notice.
We do not believe that we sell California Consumer personal information as defined under the CCPA. Until we change our practices and update this Notice, we will treat personal information collected under this Notice is subject to a "do not sell" request.
However, although there is not yet an industry consensus, we do not believe that data collection by third-party cookies and other technologies on our Website is a sale of your personal information.
We do not knowingly sell the personal information of Consumers under 16.
To exercise the right to opt-out of sales for some of your personal data, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us by visiting the following page link:
Do Not Sell My Personal Information
You 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.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.
California's "Shine the Light" law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits users of our Website that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send an email to privacy@ingramcontent.com or write us at: Ingram Content Group Attn: Legal Dept./ Privacy One Ingram Blvd. LaVergne, TN. 37086.
We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes to this privacy policy, we will post the updated Notice on the Website and update the Notice's effective date. Your continued use of our Website following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes.
