Supplemental Notice for California Consumers

Shine the Light.  Under California’s “Shine the Light” law, California residents who provide Personal Information in obtaining products or services for personal, family, or household use are entitled to request and obtain from us once a calendar year information about the customer information we shared, if any, with other businesses for their own direct marketing uses.  If applicable, this information would include the categories of customer information and the names and addresses of those businesses with which we shared that information for the immediately prior calendar year (e.g., requests made in 2020 will receive information regarding 2019 sharing activities).

To obtain this information, please send an email message to [email protected] with “Shine the Light Request” on the subject line and in the body of your message.  We will provide the requested information to you at your e-mail address in response.  Please be aware that not all information sharing is covered by the “Shine the Light” requirements and only information on covered sharing will be included in our response.

California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).  The CCPA provides certain rights to California residents regarding their Personal Information.  A California resident has the right to request that TurboTenant disclose certain information, including: (1) the categories of Personal Information it has collected about that California resident, (2) the categories of sources from which the Personal Information is collected, (3) the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling the Personal Information, (4) the categories of third parties with whom TurboTenant shares Personal Information, (5) the specific pieces of Personal Information it has collected about that resident, and (6) the categories of Personal Information that TurboTenant has sold about that resident and the categories of third parties to whom that information was sold.

A California resident has the right to request that TurboTenant delete their Personal Information.  A California resident also has a right to “opt-out” of the sale of that resident’s personal information.  Finally, a California resident has the right not to be discriminated against for exercising their privacy rights under the CCPA.  Provided, however, that the CCPA does not prohibit TurboTenant from offering financial incentives, different prices, rates, levels or qualities of goods or services for the collection of personal information if that price or difference is directly related to the value provided by the consumer’s data.

To submit a request to exercise your rights as a California resident, please submit the details of your request through Do Not Sell My Personal Information link https://www.turbotenant.com/ccpa-consumer-request/ here or at the bottom of this page, or by email to [email protected], with the subject line “CCPA Consumer Request.” You may designate an agent to submit requests on your behalf by emailing [email protected] with the header “Designated Agent – CCPA Consumer Request” and including that person’s contact information.
