Additional California Privacy Disclosures

Effective as of January 1, 2020

If you are a California resident, the processing of certain personal data about you may be subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and other applicable California state privacy laws. Beginning January 1, 2020, the CCPA gives you certain rights with respect to the processing of your personal data (known as “personal information”, as described in under the CCPA).

This supplement provides additional privacy disclosures and informs you of your additional rights as a California resident, and should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy.

Personal Information Collected and Processed

Our Privacy Policy section entitled "Your Privacy" sets forth the categories of personal information that ComicArtFans collects about you when you register for an account on our website. When you login to our website - or we perform a routine login check to confirm you are still active on the website - we will also check your personal IP information to ensure you're coming from a valid IP address.

Requests to Exercise Your Rights

RIGHT TO KNOW REQUEST - Under the CCPA, you have a right to request information about our collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information over the prior 12 months, and ask that we provide you with the following information:

1. Categories of and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.
2. Categories of sources from which we collect personal information.
3. Purposes for collecting, using, or selling personal information.
4. Categories of third parties with which we share personal information.
5. Categories of personal information disclosed about you for a business purpose.
6. If applicable, categories of personal information sold about you and the categories of third parties to which the personal information was sold, by category or categories of personal information for each third party to which the personal information was sold.

To make a verifiable request for information about the personal information we have collected about you, please first review your account profile to see the data collected from your account, and make a request by using the ‘Contact Us’ form and mention “I want to make a copy a copy of my data”. Similarly, you can simply print the data you find on your Profile page to have your own copy of the data collected. ComicArtFans does not collect any personal beyond what is displayed on that page, and if you have not created an account on CAF we collect no personal information barring what is recorded in our log files.

RIGHT TO DELETE REQUEST - You also have a right to request we delete your account from our website. You may exercise your right to delete by using the ‘Contact Us’ form and asking us to remove your account from our website. Deletion of your account will remove all history of your activities on the website, including personal emails with other collectors, all artworks you've shared in your Gallery and artwork comments you've received or posted to another collector's artworks. Once removed, none of this information can be restored. You will still have to clear the browser cookie on your own computer.

HOUSEHOLD REQUESTS - We currently do not collect household data. If all the members of a household makes a Right to Know or Right to Delete request, we will respond as if the requests are individual requests.

REQUESTS, GENERALLY - Please note, if you do not have a CAF account we will not have enough information about you to verify your Right to Know and Right to Delete requests, as we do not keep sufficient information necessary to reidentify and link you to a prior visit to our website where data may have been collected. As such, we will be unable to verify and honor your requests. You may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information twice per 12-month period. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under the CCPA.

REQUESTS MADE THROUGH AGENTS - You may designate, in writing or through a power of attorney, an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf to exercise your rights. Before accepting such a request from an agent, we will require the agent to provide proof you have authorized it to act on your behalf, and we may need you to verify your identity directly with us.

Sale of Personal Information

Under the CCPA, a “sale” means providing to a third party personal information for valuable consideration. It does not necessarily mean money was exchanged for the transfer of personal information. We have taken substantial steps to identify whether any of our data sharing arrangements would constitute a “sale” under the CCPA. Due to the complexities and ambiguities in the CCPA, we will continue to evaluate some of our third party relationships as we wait for final implementing regulations and guidance. For example, it is currently unclear whether the use of certain types of advertising partners would be considered a sale under CCPA. We will continue to update our business practices as regulatory guidance becomes available and provides clarity on what constitutes a sale transaction, particularly in the advertising ecosystem.
