We are required by the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) to provide to California residents an explanation of how we collect, use and share their personal Information, and of the rights and choices we offer California residents regarding our handling of their personal information.  The description of our practices in this section 13 shall apply only to California residents whose interactions with Knott Learning are limited to:

Privacy Practices. We do not sell personal information. We use cookies and other tracking technologies to analyze website traffic and facilitate advertising.  Through use of our Services, you may direct us to disclose your information to companies that provide the services in which you are interested.

Please note that we may also disclose personal information to comply with law, and for compliance, fraud prevention, and safety purposes; in the event of business transfers; and to our professional advisors, as further described above in the Privacy Policy.

The CCPA grants individuals the following rights:

• Information. You can request information about how we have collected, used and shared your Personal Information during the past 12 months.
• Access. You can request a copy of the personal information that we maintain about you.
• Deletion. You can ask us to delete the personal information that we collected or maintain about you.

Please note that the CCPA limits these rights by, for example, prohibiting us from providing certain sensitive information in response to an access request and limiting the circumstances in which we must comply with a deletion request. We will also respond to requests for information and access only to the extent we are able to associate with a reasonable effort the information we maintain with the identifying details you provide in your request. If we deny your request, we will communicate our decision to you.  You are entitled to exercise the rights described above free from discrimination.

How to Submit a Request. To request access to, or deletion of personal information, please e-mail us at: support@knottlearning.com

Identity verification. The CCPA requires us to verify the identity of the individual submitting a request to access or delete personal information before providing a substantive response to the request.

Authorized agents. California residents can delegate an “authorized agent” to submit these requests on their behalf. We will require the authorized agent to have a written authorization confirming that authority.
