However, if you opt-in or consent to our disclosure of your personal information to third parties for sell/share, you have the right to opt-out or revoke your consent by clicking the “Cookie Policy” link at the bottom of our website and selecting your preferences, or by broadcasting an Opt-Out Preference Signal/Universal Opt-Out Mechanism, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC) (on the browsers and/or browser extensions that support such a signal) described in more detail below.
Your Right to Know
Certain states provide the right to request our disclosure of any of the following:
- the categories of personal information we have collected about you
- the categories of sources from which the personal information is collected
- the business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, or sharing with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising (e.g., targeted advertising)
- the categories of third parties to whom we disclose personal information
- the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you
You can do this through a verified consumer request. That process is described below in the section, “How to Exercise Your Rights—Submitting a Verified Consumer Request.”
Your Right to Request Correction of Inaccurate Personal Information
Certain states provide you the right to request correction of inaccurate personal information maintained by us. We may request documentation from you to determine the accuracy of the information. If you provide us with documentation, whether upon our request or at your initiative, it will be used solely to correct your personal information and comply with our recordkeeping requirements.
As an alternative to correction, we may delete the inaccurate information if it does not negatively impact you or if you consent to this deletion. We reserve the right to deny this request if allowed under applicable law, or if we determine that the contested information is more likely than not accurate, based on the totality of circumstances. You can submit a correction request through a verified consumer request. That process is described in the section below, “How to Exercise Your Rights—Submitting a Verified Consumer Request.”
Your Right to Request Deletion of Your Personal Information
Certain states provide the right to request that we delete any of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions. You can do this through a verified consumer request. That process is described below in the section, “How to Exercise Your Rights—Submitting a Verified Consumer Request.”
There may be scenarios where we deny your deletion request. If that occurs, we will provide you with an explanation of why we could not delete all or part of your personal information.
How to Exercise Your Rights—Submitting a Verified Consumer Request
You may exercise your rights, as applicable, by submitting a verified consumer request to know information (and to receive your personal information in a portable format), to correct information, or for deletion.
The response to a request to know will provide the personal information we have collected and maintained about you, in a portable format, unless an exception under applicable state law applies. Please note that, depending on the applicable state law, we may not be required to provide you with personal information if you make multiple requests within a certain time period. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
If you have an account with us, you can exercise certain of your rights through that account.
You can also submit requests by calling us at 1-888-346-8459 or by emailing us at usprivacy@bni.com.
If you submit a request that is not through one of these designated methods or is deficient in some manner unrelated to verification, we will provide you with information on how to submit the request or remedy any deficiencies.
Your request will be verified by matching the information you provide to information that we have collected.
Once we receive your verifiable consumer request, we will confirm receipt of the request within 10 business days describing our verification process. We will respond to your request within 45 calendar days, if we are able to verify your identity. Requests for deletion will require a separate confirmation that you want your information deleted.
Requests to Know or Delete for Child Under the Age of 13: We do not knowingly collect information of minors under the age of 13.
Using an Authorized Agent to Submit a Request
California: Only you, or a natural person or a business entity registered with the Secretary of State to conduct business in California that you have authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information, to opt out of sale or sharing, or to limit the use or disclosure of your sensitive personal information. If you use an authorized agent, you may provide a power of attorney executed pursuant to California Probate Code sections 4000 to 4465. If a power of attorney that meets those provisions is not submitted, you will be required to provide the authorized agent signed permission to submit a request, verify your identity directly by submitting a verified consumer request according to the procedures in the section “How to Exercise Your Rights,” and directly confirm with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request. To submit authorized agent documentation, contact us at usprivacy@bni.com.
Other States: If you use an authorized agent, you may provide a power of attorney executed pursuant to applicable state law. If a power of attorney is not submitted, you may be required to provide commercially reasonable identification of your identity and evidence of your authorized agent’s authority to act on your behalf. For example, you may need to provide the authorized agent signed permission to submit a request, verify your identity directly by submitting a verified consumer request according to the procedures in the section “How to Exercise Your Rights,” and directly confirm with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request, by contacting us at usprivacy@bni.com.
Opt-Out Preference Signals/Universal Opt-Out Mechanism
Except for necessary cookies (which must be enabled for the website to work properly), all other cookies and website trackers are turned off and non-functional when you visit our website. Those cookies and trackers will not be enabled without your consent and consent can be revoked at any time. Please review our cookie policy for more information on your choices.
We also honor the Opt-Out Preference Signal/Universal Opt-Out Mechanism, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC) (on the browsers and/or browser extensions that support such a signal). Your request to opt out of sale/sharing will be linked to your browser identifier only and not linked to any account information because the connection between your browser and the account is not known to us. Because the signal is browser-specific, you will need to broadcast subsequent signals if you are accessing our website through different online devices (e.g., computers, smartphones, tablets).
Your Right to Non-Discrimination for the Exercise of a Privacy Right
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your state privacy rights.
Supplemental U.S. State Privacy Rights
In addition to the privacy rights listed above, certain states provide supplemental privacy rights to residents of those states.
Your Right to Non-Discrimination for the Exercise of a Privacy Right
You have the right to opt out of our use of profiling when used to make decisions that produce a legal or similarly significant effect concerning you or your interactions with us. Currently, we do not engage in such profiling.
Right to Appeal
You have the right to appeal our refusal to take action on, or respond to, a verified consumer request. Upon receipt of our denial or refusal to take action on or respond to a verified consumer request, a consumer has 90 days to submit an appeal by mail. We will timely inform you in writing of any action taken or not taken in response. We will also include a written explanation of the reasons for our decision.
Changes to Our Privacy Notice
We reserve the right to amend this privacy notice at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes to this privacy notice, 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.
