Once PCS receives and confirms your Verifiable Consumer Request (as defined below), PCS will delete (and direct any service providers to delete) your California Personal Information from its records, unless an exception applies.

PCS may deny your deletion request if retaining the California Personal Information is necessary for us (or the service providers) to:

• Complete the transaction for which PCS collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of PCS’s ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform its contract with you.
• Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
• Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
• Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
• Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act.
• Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information's deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research's achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
• Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with PCS.
• Comply with a legal obligation.
• Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a “Verifiable Consumer Request” to PCS by sending an e-mail to inquire@misumiusa.com or calling 800-681-7475.

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 California 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:

• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom PCS collected personal information (or an authorized representative.)
• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

Making a Verifiable Consumer Request does not require you to make an account with PCS.

PCS cannot respond to your request or provide you with California Personal Information if PCS cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that the personal information relates to you. PCS will only use California Personal Information provided in a Verifiable Consumer Request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the Verifiable Consumer Request.

Response Timing and Format

PCS endeavors to respond to Verifiable Consumer Requests within 45 days of their receipt. If PCS requires more time (up to 90 days), PCS will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

PCS will deliver the written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures provided by PCS will only cover the 12-month period preceding the Verifiable Consumer Request's receipt. The provided response will also explain any reasons PCS cannot fully comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, PCS 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.

PCS does not charge a fee to process or respond to your Verifiable Consumer Request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If PCS determines that the Verifiable Consumer Request warrants a fee, PCS will tell you why it made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Non-Discrimination

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

• Deny you goods or services.
• Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
• Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
• Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

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