10. ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY – YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

If you are a California resident, California law provides you with additional rights regarding our use of your Personal Information.

This section provides additional terms that apply to residents of California. In the event of a conflict between this Section and the remainder of this Privacy Policy, this Section shall take precedence for California residents.  In this section only, any capitalized terms not defined in this Privacy Policy have the meanings set forth in the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 and its implementing regulations, each as amended (the “CCPA”).

In the twelve (12) months preceding the effective date of this Privacy Policy, we have disclosed the following categories of Personal Information of California consumers for a business purpose (refer Section 1 above).

Your California Privacy Rights.

California residents have certain rights under the CCPA, such as the right to request certain information or request deletion of their Personal Information.  Subject to certain limitations such as (a) exceptions permitted by applicable law and (b) verification of your identity, California residents may exercise the following rights regarding their Personal Information:

Right to Access and Disclosure.  You have the right to access any of the following which occurred in the prior 12-month period: (a) the categories of Personal Information we collected from you, (b) the categories of sources from which the Personal Information was collected, (c) the business or commercial purpose for collecting your Personal Information, (d) the categories of third parties with whom we shared your Personal Information, and (e) the specific pieces of Personal Information we collected from you.

Right to Request Deletion.  You have a right to request that we delete Personal Information we collected from you. We will comply with such requests, and direct our service providers to do the same, subject to certain exceptions permitted by applicable law.

How to Exercise Your Rights of Disclosures and Deletion.  To exercise your California rights described in this Section, you may submit your request to us by contacting us at any of the following:

Phone: +1 844- 815- 3731

Email: ComplianceOffice@lupin.com

Verifiable Consumer Request.  In order to verify your request to exercise your rights under the CCPA, you must provide sufficient information to allow us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information.  You must describe your request with sufficient detail to allow us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to your request.

When we receive your request to exercise your rights under the CCPA: (a) we will acknowledge receipt of your request; (b) we will try to match the information you provide in making the request with information we already maintain; (c) if required to verify your identity, we may ask you to provide additional information, including Personal Information; (d) we will consider various factors when determining how to verify your identity, such as the sensitivity and value of the data, the risk of harm, and the likelihood of fraud.

When We Will Respond.  We will try to respond to your request to exercise your California privacy rights within 45 days. If we require additional time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your request. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide you with that Personal Information. We may charge a fee to process or respond to your request if it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.

Non-Discrimination. California residents have the right to not receive discriminatory treatment for exercising any of their rights under the CCPA.

Who May Exercise Your Rights? You may only make a request to exercise your rights on behalf of yourself. You also have a right to submit requests to exercise your rights under the CCPA through an authorized agent. If you choose to use an authorized agent, you must (a) provide signed permission to that authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf, (b) verify your identity directly with Lupin, and (c) directly confirm with Lupin that you granted permission to the authorized agent to submit the request on your behalf. For clarity, you are required to verify the identity of both yourself and the authorized agent.

Furthermore, a parent or legal guardian may make a request on behalf of his or her child.

California’s “Do-Not-Track” Requirement. We currently do not respond to “do not track” requests.
