Thus, when you submit an inquiry to Us or otherwise communicate with Us, any information that you provide to Us should be in your capacity as a representative or agent of your company or business, and not in your personal capacity, and that information should be provided on behalf of your business.

We collect information from you directly when you provide it to Us, automatically as you navigate through this Website, and from third parties (for example, our business partners, analytics services providers, and advertising partners).

As for information you provide to Us, when you submit an inquiry to Us, We ask that you provide your name, professional e-mail address, and professional telephone number (and you may be asked to provide your company’s physical address) so that We can contact you on behalf of your business. Also, We collect records and copies of your correspondence when you contact Us.

If you subscribe to Our newsletter, We may also collect personal information (such as an e-mail address, name, company name, and/or phone number). This allows Us to send you periodic information about Our company updates, news, and recent promotions that may be relevant to you.

When you submit a form on Our Website, we add your name and e-mail address to Formula.Monks’ mailing list. Our mailing list is managed via HubSpot. Note that HubSpot may transfer personal data outside your home jurisdiction. Please contact HubSpot with questions or concerns about this.

We do not collect “sensitive” information (otherwise known as “special categories of personal information” or “sensitive personal data” under certain laws, such as health or medical records, criminal conviction data, health condition, medical data, etc. If We do collect such “sensitive” information, We will notify you before or at the time of collection, and We will provide specific data processing information to you regarding how We may process that data and what rights you may have regarding such processing.

As you use Our Website, We may use automatic data collection technologies to collect certain information about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns, including collecting information such as your Internet IP address and referring URLs so that we may generate aggregate statistical reports. The automatic data We collect includes information about a user’s IP address, operating system, and browser type. The data also may include traffic data, location data, logs, and other communication data The automatically-collected information We collect is aggregated and does identify any individuals. Such aggregated information helps Us to improve this Website and to deliver better and more personalized services, including by allowing Us to estimate Our audience size and usage patterns, store information about your preferences, allowing Us to customize Our Website according to your individual interests, speed up your searches, recognize you when you return to Our website. For more about this, see the below section about “cookies” and related technologies.

We also provide a variety of services which may require you to enter personal information. For example, We provide certain training services for some of Our products and services for which you will need to provide your name and the names of other individuals at your business who will obtain the training services. Also, in connection with using some of Our products, such as, for example, Overwatch, Mission Control, Contour, and Honesto, you will have to provide certain information about yourself to utilize the product. In each case, you will be notified of the information that you are required to submit by having to fill out a form and/or by some type of notification to you about the collection of the personal information. In all cases, the information you are requested to provide is necessary to provide you the requested product or service.

How To Opt-out/Unsubscribe From The Mailing List

Your Rights and Choices Regarding Your Personal Information

The CCPA provides consumers who are California residents with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your various rights under the CCPA and explains how you can exercise those rights.

Your Right to Access to Specific Information and Your Data Portability Rights

You have the right to request that We disclose to you certain information about Our collection and use of your personal information over the past twelve (12) months. Once We receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, We will disclose to you:

  • The categories of personal information that We have collected about you.
  • The categories of sources for the personal information that We have collected about you.
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
  • The categories of third parties with whom We share that personal information.
  • The specific pieces of personal information We collected about you (also called a data portability request).
  • If We sold or disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, We also will disclose to you two separate lists disclosing:
    –  sales, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and
    –  disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.

Until January 1, 2023, We do not provide these access and data portability rights for B2B personal information.

Your Deletion Request Rights

You have the right to request that We delete any of your personal information that We collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. 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 for our service provider(s):

  • To complete any transaction for which We collected the personal information, to provide a good or service that you requested, to take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of Our ongoing business relationship with you, to fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, or otherwise to perform Our contract with you.
  • To detect security incidents, to protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or to prosecute those responsible for any such activities.
  • To debug products and identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
  • To exercise free speech, to ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or to exercise another right provided for by law.
  • To comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.).
  • To engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
  • To enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with Us.
  • To comply with a legal obligation.
  • To make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

Until January 1, 2023, We do not provide these deletion rights for B2B personal information.

Exercising Your Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights that you have under the CCPA, as described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to Us by either:

     Calling Us at +1 (888) 969-2983

     E-mailing Us at privacy-request@formula.co

     Submitting a request online

Only you, or someone legally authorized 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. (However, since We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors, if You are aware that personal information of a minor has been submitted to Us, please let us know immediately so that We can delete it.)

If you wish to designate an authorized agent to make such a request on your behalf, please provide the following information about that agent so that We can verify that person’s identity and authorization:

  • Name:
  • Email:
  • Phone:
  • Relationship to User:

Please realize that you may make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability only twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom We collected personal information from or an authorized representative, which may include: Email sent from the address we have on file, a copy of government issued ID.
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows Us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

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 that the personal information relates to you. Thus, be prepared to have to provide additional information to Us so that We can verify your identity and/or your authority to make the request, but rest assured that such additional information will be used only for this verification purpose. If We are unable to verify your identify or authority, We cannot abide by the request, and We are permitted by law to deny the request. We also may deny your request if it is deemed manifestly unfounded or excessive. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with Us.

For instructions on exercising sales opt-out rights, see “Personal information sales opt-out and opt-in rights.”

Response Timing and Format

We will do our best to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 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 cover only 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 useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance, specifically a CSV or Excel file.

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 We will provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Personal Information Sales Opt-out and Opt-in Rights

If you are 16 years of age or older, under applicable law, you have the right to direct Us to not sell your personal information at any time (the “right to opt-out”). We do not knowingly collect the personal information of minors such that this right is not applicable to anyone under the age of 18 in connection with Our Website, but users of Our Website who are over 18 may exercise their right to opt-out as provided in this section.

Under California law, minors who are at least 13 but not yet 16, have additional rights. A business shall not sell the personal information of consumers who are younger than 16, unless it receives the affirmative authorization (the “right to opt-in”) from either the consumer who is at least 13 but not yet 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years of age. However, since We do not knowingly collect the personal information of consumers who are younger than 18 years of age, We do not sell the personal information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of age. Thus, the right to opt-out and the right to opt-in are not applicable to Our Website for users under the age of 18. If these sections ever did apply to Our Website, you should know that consumers who opt-in to personal information sales as set forth here may opt-out of future sales at any time.

To exercise the right to opt-out (for any users who are over the age of 18), you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to Us by visiting this online request form.

Once you have made an opt-out request, We will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to reauthorize any sales of personal information. However, you may change your mind and opt back in to personal information sales at any time by emailing us at privacy-request@formula.co.

You do not need to create an account with Us to exercise your opt-out rights. We will use personal information that you provide in an opt-out request only for purposes of reviewing and complying with the request.

Non-discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, We will not:

  • Deny you any goods or services as a result of your exercise of these rights.
  • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services as a result of your exercise of these rights, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
  • Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services as a result of your exercise of these rights.
  • Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services, as a result of your exercise of these rights.

However, We may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that may result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive that We offer will reasonably relate to your personal information’s value and will contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt-in consent, which you may revoke at any time. We currently do not provide any financial incentives.
