The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) Privacy Notice Page

The California Consumer Privacy Act

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) came into effect on January 1st, 2020. It is a privacy law that applies to certain businesses according to the following guidelines:

It must be a for-profit business that does business in California and meets one of the following criteria:

1. Has annual gross revenues of at least 25 million USD per year
2. Annually buys, sells, receives, or shares personal information from at least 50,000 consumers, households, or devices, or
3. Makes over 50 percent of its gross annual revenue from selling personal information.

Fit-and-Well.com, owned by Patagonia Wellness does not meet criteria (1) -our gross revenue is under 25 million USD per year. We don't meet criteria (3) because we do not sell any personal information so our revenue from this source is zero.

Finally regarding criteria (2) at Fit-and-Well.com, we do not buy or sell personal information from any consumers.

But we may receive personal information when you write to us, and through information provided by Google Analytics, and also when we use services such as Google Adsense to serve advertisements or any online merchant as an affiliate, and these may gather information from our visitors, which they may share with us in an anonymized manner, we want to play it safe and just in case comply with what the CCPA requires from us.

What Is Personal Information Under the CCPA?

Personal information is defined in the CCPA as "information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household."

Some examples of personal data include direct and indirectly identifiable information including:

• IP addresses
• Email addresses
• Browsing history
• Geolocation data

Make a Request About Your Data

At Patagonia Wellness and Fit-and-Well.com, we are committed to the responsible collection and use of personal information. If, as a consumer, you want to access, delete, or opt-out of the sale of personal information, simply send us an email, phone us or write to us (please see the contact information further down).

Google Adsense advertising

We have updated our Google Adsense dashboard options for Restricted data processing and we have chosen one out of two options for users that Google determines are in California.

Google instructed us as follows "If you want to continue to show personalized ads, tell us the partners that you want to monetize your ads with below. By default, data processing isn't restricted and personalized ads will continue to show.".

We selected the option marked with an "(x)" below:

( ) Don’t restrict data processing
Google continues to show personalized ads to eligible users in California. Personalized ads are based on a user's past behavior, such as previous visits to sites or apps or where the user has been.

(x) Restrict data processing
Google restricts how it uses certain unique identifiers and other data. Google only shows non-personalized ads from Google demand to eligible users in California. Non-personalized ads are based on contextual information, such as the content of your site or app.

As per Google Adsense's Helping publishers comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) Take control of the CCPA settings in AdSense, we have opted to: "Alternatively, other publishers may choose to display a “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” link. Such publishers may choose to send a restricted data processing signal on a per-request basis once a user has opted out of the sale of their personal information."

• Provide sufficient information that allows us 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.

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 the personal information relates to you.

We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

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.

Non-Discrimination
