Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

 

Consumer Requests

Data Privacy laws, such as the Bill 64 in Quebec and the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), provide certain Consumers with specific rights regarding their Personal Information. When a verified request is submitted via email at [email protected], Consumers have the right to know the categories and specific pieces of Personal Information that we receive pertaining to the requesting Consumer. We will honor the legal rights provided in applicable Data Privacy laws to all verified Consumer requests. This section describes how to exercise your right to: (i) know what Personal Information Wingbuddy has collected about you; and (ii) request that your Personal Information is deleted, provided that no exception exists.

 

Access to Specific Information 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 12 months preceding the date of your verified request. We will make all reasonable efforts to retain Personal Information no longer than necessary, which typically will be less than 12 months.

Once we receive your request and confirm you’re a verifiable Consumer, our Data Manager, within the timelines required under the Data Privacy laws, will disclose to you:

  • The categories of Personal Information we received about you.

  • The categories of sources from which we received the Personal Information.

  • Our business purpose for receiving Personal Information.

  • The categories of third parties (if any) with whom we share the Personal Information.

  • The specific pieces of Personal Information we received.

 

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.

An exception would apply if any of the following occur: (i) the request would violate evidentiary privilege; (ii) your information is necessary to comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including responding to any government or regulatory request; (iii) your information is necessary to complete the transaction for which the Personal Information was collected; (iv) you previously made two (2) requests within a twelve (12) month window.

Once we receive and confirm your verifiable Consumer request and an exception does not apply, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your Personal Information from our records.

 

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

To exercise the rights described above, please submit a verifiable Consumer request to Wingbuddy’s Data Manager, through any of the following methods:

Only you, or a person that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable Consumer request related to your Personal Information. If an agent submits a request on your behalf, Wingbuddy will require that you: (1) provide the authorized agent written permission to do so; and (2) verify your own identity directly with Wingbuddy. We may deny a request from an agent that does not submit proof that they have been authorized by you to act on their behalf. If the agent demonstrates authorization through power of attorney, Wingbuddy will not require written permission to make a request on your behalf.

A verifiable Consumer request for access, data portability, or deletion, may only be made twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable Consumer request must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows us and our business partners to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.

  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

Wingbuddy 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 the Personal Information relates to you.

You are not required to create an account with Wingbuddy to make a verifiable Consumer request. Wingbuddy will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable Consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

 

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Although it is our policy that we do not sell your personal information, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) gives California resident consumers the right to opt-out of allowing Wingbuddy to sell personal information in the future. In order to send an opt-out request to prevent the selling of personal information, please email us at [email protected].

 

Response Timing and Format

Wingbuddy will acknowledge receipt of your request within ten (10) days of its receipt. Wingbuddy endeavors to respond to a verifiable Consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to ninety (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 only cover 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.

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 provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

 

Sharing Personal Information

Wingbuddy may disclose your personal information to a third party for a business purpose. When we disclose personal information for a business purpose, we enter a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to both keep that personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose except performing the contract.

The CCPA prohibits third parties who purchase the personal information we hold from reselling it unless you have received explicit notice and an opportunity to opt-out of further sales.

 

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your data privacy rights and we will not cause our business partners or subcontractors to:

  • Deny you any services.

  • Provide a different level or quality of service.

  • Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of products or services.

 

 Accessing and Correcting Your Personal Data

You can access, review, and change your personal data by sending us an email at [email protected] to request access to, correct, or delete personal data that you have provided to us. We may not be able to accommodate a request to change or delete information if we believe the change or deletion would violate any law or legal requirement or negatively affect the information’s accuracy.

 

Children’s Online Privacy  

We do not direct our Website to minors and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 18 years of age or as defined by local legal requirements. If we learn we have mistakenly or unintentionally collected or received personal data from a child without appropriate consent, we will delete it. If you believe we mistakenly or unintentionally collected any information from or about a child, please contact us at [email protected].
