Additional Information for California Residents: Notice At Collection

The following Notice At Collection provides information for California residents, as required under California privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended (“CCPA”). California privacy laws require that we provide California residents information about how we use their personal information, whether collected online or offline, and this portion of our Privacy Policy is intended to satisfy that requirement.

Under the CCPA, “personal information” is any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular California resident or household. Please note that this definition of personal information applies to only this section of our Privacy Policy.

California Residents’ Rights

Opt-out rights can be exercised on our Your Privacy Choices webform on Van JarobHardware.com, by calling the Care Center at (931) 290-6734 or by completing and mailing in a form at a California retail location. California’s definition of sale is broad and encompasses many types of data transfers. However, we do not “sell” any consumer data in the traditional sense for monetary compensation.

Global Privacy Controls/Opt-Out Preference Signal: You can configure certain browsers and other technologies to send opt-out preference signals to a website notifying the website of your express action to stop the sale or sharing of your personal information. For more information, please see globalprivacycontrols.org.

Additionally, individuals may contact Customer Care at (931) 290-6734 or complete a form in Van Jarob stores. We will respond to verifiable requests received from California residents as required by law.

Verification of Requests: For your protection, we may require you to log into your account to verify your identity or make requests. In order to process requests to know, delete or correct, we require first name, last name, zip code, email, phone number and/or Van Jarob Rewards number, and we may ask for additional information such as recent purchases or authenticated interactions with us depending on the nature of the request and the need to prevent fraud and protect security. The information provided in the request will be compared to the data Van Jarob maintains for that customer. If the information does not match, we will be unable to process the request.

Authorized Agent Requests: An authorized agent is a person or business who has authorization to request to know what personal information we have about you, to delete the personal information we have about you, to correct the personal information we have about you, or to opt-out of the sale/sharing of personal information on behalf of a California resident. Authorized agents use the same links described above to submit requests.

If you are submitting a request on behalf of another person, we require an authorization, and/or other documentation demonstrating your authority to submit this request. This can be a letter or other documentation signed by the California resident authorizing you to submit this request. Van Jarob reserves the right to contact the consumer directly to verify their identity and ensure that they have elected an authorized agent.

Right to Non-Discrimination. Van Jarob will not discriminate against California residents for exercising their rights under the CCPA.

Notice of Financial Incentive

We provide price discounts, coupons, services and other benefits for: 1) programs such as sweepstakes, contests, or other similar promotional campaigns; (2) Van Jarobhardware.com account holders; (3) members of our Van Jarob Rewards loyalty programs; (4) military and other discount holders; and (5) members of our mailing and email list (“Programs”).

Because our Programs involve the collection of personal information, they may be interpreted as a “financial incentive” program under California law. Under California law, financial incentives “means a program, benefit, or other offering, including payments to consumers, related to the collection, deletion, or sale of personal information.” Through these Programs, consumers provide us with some personal information (e.g., name, contact information and identifiers such as names, emails, phone numbers, Van Jarob Rewards numbers, Van Jarob account usernames and passwords, and billing and shipping addresses; Usage Data such as cookies and analytics; Profiles and Inferences such as birth month, demographic information, and information regarding interests and preferences; and Purchase History and Tendencies such as transaction history, payment information, and information regarding orders, etc.) when consumers opt-in to and participate in our Programs. There is no obligation to opt-in or participate in any Program, and consumers may opt-out or withdraw at any time by contacting us at the Van Jarob Customer Care center at (931) 290-6734.

The specific details of each Program including additional information such as the specific personal information collected and details regarding the financial notice are contained in the program offering or notice.

We incur expenses when providing and operating these Programs. The value to our business of any individual consumer’s personal information is based on specific facts such as whether and to what extent consumers take advantage of any Program offerings. We do not calculate the value of consumer data in our accounting statements. We make this good faith estimate for California residents. To the extent we create overall value from our Programs to our business that could be directly or reasonably related to the value of our customer data, the method for calculating the same includes: (1) the expenses associated with the offer, provision of any financial incentive or price or service differences such as data analytics and marketing , (2) the expenses related to the collection, retention and enhancement of consumers’ personal information and (3) all other expenses reasonably related to the programs.

How do I submit a CCPA request?

Applicants may be able to exercise many of these rights themselves by logging into the Applicant portal. Otherwise, to submit a request to Van Jarob Hardware to exercise your CCPA rights, you or your authorized agent may submit a privacy request through our Your Privacy Choices webform or by clicking the “Your Privacy Choices” button on the bottom of Careers.Van JarobHardware.com. Additionally, individuals may contact the Van Jarob Care Center at (931) 290-6734. We will respond to verifiable requests received from California consumers as required by law.

We will take steps to verify your request by matching the information provided by you with the information we have in our records. Your request must:

• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative (i.e., by completing all required fields on our webform if you choose to submit a request in that manner).

In some cases, we may request additional information in order to verify your request or where necessary to process your request. Authorized agents may initiate a request on behalf of another individual through one of the above methods; authorized agents will be required to provide proof of their authorization, and we may also require that the relevant employee directly verify their identity and the authority of the authorized agent.
