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. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

1. Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you;

How to Exercise California Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by sending us an email to info@happyhealthagency.com  or calling us toll free at 1 888-987-4420.

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 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: (a) provide sufficient information to allow us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative; and (b) describe your request with sufficient detail to allow us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to the request.

Our policy is to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to ninety (90) days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily usable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another without hindrance, specifically by electronic mail communication.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Right to Opt-Out

You have the right to direct us not to sell your personal information to third parties. Any personal information about you that we sell to a third party cannot be sold by that third party unless you have received explicit notice and are provided with an opportunity to opt-out of the sale of your personal information. You or your authorized representative may submit your request to opt out by sending us an email to info@happyhealthagency.com.

Generally, we will not request additional information from you for purposes of verification. If, however, we cannot verify your identity from the information already maintained by us, we may request additional information from you, which shall only be used for the purposes of verifying your identity and seeking to exercise you rights under the CPRA, and for security or fraud-prevention purposes. We will delete any new personal information collected for the purposes of verification as soon as practical after processing your request, except as required to comply with the CPRA. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We may require authentication that is reasonable in light of the nature of the personal information requested and will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Please note that we may continue to share your personal information with our affiliates and service providers for essential purposes described above and other such circumstances allowed under the CPRA. Opting out of the sale of personal information does not mean that you will stop seeing ads, including some interest-based ads. To learn more about interest-based advertising across sites and additional opt-out choices, please see our general Privacy Policy.

Use of an Authorized Agent

If you use an authorized agent to submit a request to know or a request to delete, we may require that you provide the authorized agent written permission and require the authorized agent to verify its own identity with us and provide proof of their authority to act on your behalf (for example, an appropriate power of attorney to your authorized agent is an acceptable form of authorization). We may deny a request from an agent that does not submit proof that they have been authorized by you to act on your behalf.

When you submit a request to delete, or a request to know, we verify your request by taking the following steps:

• We may match the information you provided in your request with the personal information of the consumer already maintained by us; or
• We may use a third-party identity verification service that complies with the CPRA;

When verifying a request, we consider the following factors:

• The type, sensitivity, and value of the personal information collected and maintained about you;
• The risk of harm to you posed by any unauthorized access or deletion;
• The likelihood that fraudulent or malicious actors would seek the personal information;
• Whether the personal information to be provided by you to verify your identity is sufficiently robust to protect against fraudulent requests or being spoofed or fabricated;
• The manner in which we interact with you; and
• The technology available for verification.

Right to Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under the CPRA. For example, we will not:

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

However, we reserve the right to charge you a different price or rate or provide a different level or quality of goods or services, if that difference is reasonably related to the value provided to you by your personal information.

Changes to This Policy

We may make changes to this Policy from time to time. We will post any changes and such changes will become effective when they are posted. Your continued use of our Services following the posting of any changes will mean you accept those changes.
