1)    Right to Know and Data Portability Rights 

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months (the "right to know").

We do not provide a right to know or data portability disclosure for B2B personal information.

2)    Deletion Request Rights California residents have the right to request that we delete any of the CCPA personal information which we collected about them, subject to certain exceptions (the "right to delete"). After we have received and confirmed your verifiable consumer request, we will delete your personal information and instruct our service providers to delete your information as well. We may not delete your information if it is required to us or our service providers to do the following:

A. Completing the contract or transaction for which we collected the personal information, providing goods or services requested, taking reasonable actions within the scope of our ongoing business relationship with you.

We will delete or de-identify personal information not subject to one of these exceptions from our records and will direct our service providers to take similar action.

We do not provide these deletion rights for B2B personal information.

3)    Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights Only you or someone registered with the California Secretary of State who is authorized to act in your interests may make a request for information or deletion. You may only submit a request to know twice within a 12-month period. Once you have made a verifiable consumer request, we will provide your personal information in a portable manner so that you can access it easily. Any information you provide will only be used to verify your identity. You can make a request following the instructions below:

A. Email us at memberservices@uniquecardservices.com -OR- click here and fill out the form. We will confirm receipt within 10 days and endeavor to provide a written response within 45 days. If we require more time (up to another 45 days), we will inform you in writing of the reason and extension period.

B. Provide us with information necessary to verify your identity so that we may release the information to the individual to whom it belongs, or an authorized representative.

C. You need not create an account to make requests, but if you have an account and login with us, signing in through our portal with a password serves to verify your identity.

D. Provide enough detail in your request that we understand you, can evaluate the request and provide an answer.

E. We will provide access to your personal information for the last twelve-month period or provide an explanation as to why we cannot comply with the request.

F. There is no fee to process your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded, in with case we will inform you of the fee and reason before proceeding.

You will need to prove your identity to us. If you have no password-protected account with us, you will need to provide us with at least 2 data points which we already maintain about you, and possibly other information and a signed declaration under penalty of perjury if the information maintained about you is of a sensitive nature. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance. In some cases, we might not be able to successfully verify your information and in such a case, we will notify you as to why we cannot provide it.

4)    Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights California residents who are sixteen years of age or older have the right to dictate that we do not sell their personal information. If you opt-in to information sales, either verbally or in writing, you may opt-out of future sales at any time. Minors are not allowed to use our websites or services and we do not intentionally collect any personal information for or regarding those under the age of eighteen. To opt out please contact us at the following email address (memberservices@uniquecardservices.com) or by clicking here to opt-out.

You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights. We will only use personal information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request.

E. You must opt-in or provide prior written consent to participate in financial incentive programs and you may revoke this consent at any time.
