Right to access specific information and data portability
Once we receive and confirm a verifiable consumer request from you, we will disclose:
- The categories of personal information we collected about you;
- The categories of sources for that information;
- Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling it;
- The categories of third parties with whom we share it;
- The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you; and

Right to request deletion
You have the right to ask us to delete the personal information we have collected and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm a verifiable consumer request, we will delete your personal information from our records unless an exception applies.
When we may deny a deletion request
We may deny your request if keeping the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:
- Complete the transaction for which the information was collected;
- Provide you with notices about your account — such as expiration or renewal notices;
- Carry out our obligations and enforce our rights under agreements with you;
- Fulfill any other purpose for which you provided the information;
- Detect security incidents and protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity;
- Debug products to identify and repair errors;
- Exercise free-speech rights or ensure another consumer’s ability to do so, or exercise another right provided by law;
- Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et seq.);
- Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest when deletion would seriously impair the research and you previously provided informed consent;
- Support internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us;
- Comply with a legal obligation; or
- Make other internal and lawful uses of the information that are compatible with the context in which it was provided.
How to exercise access, data portability, and deletion rights
To exercise these rights, please send a verifiable consumer request by email to info@greenllc.net. You can also use our Do Not Sell My Information form on the homepage to submit a request.
What we may need from you
To respond, we may need to confirm your identity and ensure that the person making the request is actually the consumer about whom we collected personal information, or an authorized representative. This is a security step to prevent disclosure to someone with no right to receive it.
Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State whom you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request about your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.
You may make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability no more than twice within a 12-month period. A verifiable consumer request must:
- Provide sufficient information for us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected the information, or an authorized representative; and
- Describe your request in enough detail for us to understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
We cannot respond to your request or provide personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority and confirm that the personal information relates to you. You do not need to create an account with us to make a verifiable consumer request, and we will only use the information you provide to verify your identity or authority.
Response timing and format
We aim to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of receiving it. If we need more time (up to an additional 90 days), we will let you know in writing and explain why.
If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response through that account. If you do not, we will respond by mail or electronically, at your option. Our disclosures will cover the 12-month period preceding the request. If we cannot comply with a request, the response will explain why. For data portability requests, we will provide your personal information in a readily usable format that allows transmission from one entity to another.
Fees
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 a fee is warranted, we will explain the reason and provide a cost estimate before completing your request.
Sales opt-out and opt-in rights
If you are 16 or older, you have the right to direct us not to sell your personal information at any time (the “right to opt out”). We do not sell the personal information of consumers we know to be under 16 unless we receive affirmative authorization — from the consumer (for those between 13 and 16) or from the parent or guardian (for those under 13). Consumers who opt in may opt out of future sales at any time.
To exercise the right to opt out, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request through our Do Not Sell My Information form, or by email to info@greenllc.net.
After you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to reauthorize sales. You may opt back in at any time by emailing us. You do not need to create an account to exercise your opt-out rights, and we will only use information provided in an opt-out request to process that request.
7. 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 goods or services;
- Charge you — or suggest you may be charged — different prices or rates for goods or services;
- Provide a different level or quality of goods or services; or
- Suggest that you will receive a different price, rate, level, or quality of goods or services.
8. Other California privacy rights
California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code § 1798.83) permits California residents who use the Site to request information about our disclosure of personal information to third parties for those third parties’ direct-marketing purposes. To make such a request, please email info@greenllc.net.
