Right to Delete
California residents have the right to request that we delete the personal information that we collected from you and retain, subject to certain exceptions (“Right to Delete”). Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.
Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing
The CCPA provides California residents with the right to opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of their personal information, as those terms are defined in the CCPA. We do not “sell” or “share” about or from California residents through use of the Vanishing Emails website or web application. We do not knowingly collect, sell, or share personal information about California residents under the age of 16.
Right to Nondiscrimination
The CCPA provides California residents with the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for the exercise of their privacy rights conferred by the CCPA. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. The rights outlined above may be subject to certain exceptions. Additionally, we do not use your “sensitive personal information” for any purposes that would permit you to limit our use of such information. You may review Cal. Civ. Code Section 1798.121(a)  to learn more about these permitted purposes.
Exercising Your Rights
If you are a California resident and wish to request for us to provide you with your Right to Know, Right to Correct or Right to Delete, you may submit a request to us through the following ways:


Upon receiving a request from you, we will first verify your identity by comparing the information you provide (your name, email address, or phone number) with the information we have on file. We may ask you for additional information to verify your identity or to comply with your request. We will also inform you if we are unable to complete your request due to an exemption.
Authorized Agent
You may authorize an agent to make a request on your behalf. To designate an agent, please provide a written and signed document by you that authorizes the agent to act on your behalf. You may submit this document at the email address below. We may still require you to provide sufficient information to allow us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected personal information.
