Your State Privacy Rights
If you are a resident of California (starting Jan. 1, 2023), the law in that state provides you with the following rights with respect to your Personal Information:
Your California Privacy Rights
- The right to know what personal information we have collected, used, disclosed, and sold about you, including the categories of personal information, the categories of sources from which the personal information is collected, the business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, or sharing personal information, the categories of third parties to whom America Auto Sales discloses personal information, and the specific pieces of personal information America Auto Sales has collected about you.
- The right to correct inaccuracies in your personal information, taking into account the nature of the personal information and the purposes of the processing.
- The right to request that we delete any personal information we have collected about you.
- The right to opt-out of the selling or sharing of your personal information, which you can exercise through the contact form available on our website here or by modifying your privacy preferences (e.g., Global Privacy Control), available through certain internet browsers and extensions, that signal your preference to opt out. Please note that clearing your cookies at any time will remove the signal of your selected privacy preferences. We treat any request to opt-out of the selling or sharing of your personal information as a request to delete your personal information.
To submit any of the above requests, you may contact us at (323) 269-2063. You may also designate an authorized agent to make a request for correction on your behalf on our website through our contact form. When you exercise these rights and submit a request to us, we will verify your identity by asking you to provide us with additional information such as your email address or phone number. We also may use a third-party verification provider to verify your identity. We will endeavor to honor such requests unless such a request conflicts with certain lawful exemptions under your state’s consumer privacy law. Please note that we are only required to honor requests to know twice in a 12-month period.
We do not discriminate against California residents who exercise any of their rights described in our Privacy Policy or this supplement. Your exercise of these rights will have no adverse effect on the price and quality of our goods or services.
In addition, and as set forth below, California law requires us to identify, for the 12-month period prior to the date of this Privacy Policy, what information we may have “sold” or “shared” about you. For the 12-month period prior to the date of this Privacy Policy, America Auto Sales has not sold any personal information about its customers. For the 12-month period prior to the date of this Privacy Policy, America Auto Sales has only shared personal information about its customers as described above. America Auto Sales does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, as defined in applicable laws, for any purposes other than those permitted by applicable law.
Opt-Out Preference Signals: We are working towards enabling Global Privacy Control (GPC) as an additional way for you to submit a request to opt out of the sale and sharing of your personal information through browsers and/or browser extensions that support such a signal. Until then, you can opt out of the use of third-party cookies for personalized advertising by setting your cookie preferences on your browser.
California's Shine The Light Law
This Privacy Policy describes how we may share your information for marketing purposes, as described above. If you are a California resident, the “Shine the Light” law gives you the right, once a year, to ask companies what personal information they share with third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes. California residents may make one Shine the Light request per year by contacting us. When you request the information, use the phrase “California Shine the Light Request” in your email to help us appropriately identify your question, and include your mailing address, state of residence and email address so we can provide a response.
