This PRIVACY NOTICE FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS supplements the information in Metanova Tech Private Limited and its affiliated enterprises' (collectively, "we," "us," or "our") Privacy Statement and is only applicable to visitors, users, and individuals who reside in the state of California ("consumers" or "you"). To comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 ("CCPA") and other California privacy laws, we have adopted this notice. When used in this notice, any terminology defined under the CCPA have the same meaning.

We Gather following Information

We collect information that identifies, refers to, describes, references, is capable of being associated with, or might reasonably be related to, a specific consumer or device, directly or indirectly ("personal information"). Within the last twelve (12) months, we have gathered the following categories of personal information from consumers:

The following items do not fall under the category of personal data:

Data from government documents that is open to the public.
Consumer data that is de-identified or aggregated.
Information excluded from the CCPA's scope, like:

Health or medical information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA), or clinical trial data;
Personal information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FRCA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), or the California Financial Information Privacy Act (FIPA); and the Driver's Privacy Protection Act of 1994.

The categories of personal information indicated above are obtained from the following sources:

Directly from website visitors who fill out a form to download content, engage with content on our website, or interact with our agents over the phone.
From third parties who collaborate with us and provide us with business contact and company information.

Personal Data Collection and Use

The personal information we collect may be used or disclosed for one or more of the following business purposes:

To satisfy or meet the purpose for which the data is being collected. Because we primarily rely on advertising for revenue, gathering information is critical in order to maintain our services cheap to users. When you register to access a Third-Party Content Creator's content, your Profile Information is shared with them; their use of that information is governed by their privacy policies, and it may be used by the Content Provider for follow-up via phone, email, direct mail, or other customary methods. If you have any queries about how these Content Providers utilize this information, you should contact them directly. If you do not want this, please let us know.
We will use your personal information to provide you with the information, products, or services that you have requested.
To send you email alerts and other announcements about our products and services, as well as events and news that could be of interest to you.
To improve our website and make its contents more accessible to you.
For product creation, testing, research, and analysis.
As required or appropriate to safeguard our, our clients', or others' rights, property, or safety.
Respond to requests from law enforcement and as needed by applicable law, court order, or governmental regulations.
As described to you at the time of collection of your personal information or as otherwise provided in the CCPA.
To assess or carry out a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of your company's assets, whether as a going concern or as part of a bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding in which personal information held by us is one of the transferred assets.

Without giving you with notice, we will not collect additional categories of personal information or use the personal information we have acquired for significantly different, irrelevant, or incompatible purposes.

Personal Information Exchange

For business purposes, we may share your personal information with a third party. When we release personal information for a business reason, we engage into a contract with the recipient that specifies the purpose and requires the recipient to keep the information confidential and not use it for any purpose other than the contract's performance.

We have shared the following kinds of personal information for business purposes in the previous twelve (12) months:

Identifiers are in (Category A).
Personal information categories in California Customer Records (Category B).
Internet or other similar network activity falls into (Category F).
Inferences based on other personal information (Category K).

We share your personal information with the following kinds of third parties for commercial purposes:

Our Third-Party Content Providers, to whom you or your agents have given us permission to release your personal information in connection with the products or services we provide.

Your Options and Rights

Consumers (Californians) have certain rights under the CCPA when it comes to their personal information.

This section discusses how to use your CCPA rights and how to exercise them.

Data Portability Rights and Access to Specific Information

You have the right to ask us to provide you with information on how we collected and used your personal information in the last 12 months. We will inform you of the following whenever we receive and validate your verifiable consumer request:

The kind of personal information about you that we gathered.
The several types of sources for the personal data we gathered about you.
The objective of collecting or selling that personal information is for our company or commercial purposes.
The many types of third parties with whom we exchange personal data.
The exact pieces of personal information about you that we gathered (also called a data portability request).
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 if we sold or disclosed your personal information for a business purpose.

Rights to Request Deletion

Subject to certain exclusions, you have the right to request that we remove any of your personal information that we have acquired and stored about you. Unless an exception applies, we will delete (and order our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records once we receive and validate your genuine consumer request.

We may refuse your request for deletion if keeping the information is required by us or our service providers to:

Complete the transaction for which we obtained your personal information, supply a good or service that you requested, take reasonable actions in the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise fulfil our contract with you.
Detect security breaches, guard against malicious, misleading, fraudulent, or unlawful conduct, and prosecute those who are responsible.
Debug items to find and fix faults that prevent them from performing their intended functions.
Exercise your right to free speech, protect the right of another consumer to exercise their right to free expression, or exercise another legal right.
Observe the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (California Penal Code'1546 et seq. ).
If you previously provided informed consent, 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 deletion of the information would likely render the research impossible or seriously impair the research's achievement.
Allow only internal uses based on your relationship with us that are reasonably consistent with customer expectations.
Comply with a legal requirement.
Use such information for other internal and legal purposes that are compatible with the context in which you submitted it.

Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights Exercising Access

Please make a verifiable consumer request to us to exercise the above-mentioned access, data portability, and deletion rights by either:

Visit www.metanovatech.com for further information.

Only you or someone you empower to act on your behalf who is registered with the California Secretary of State may make a verifiable consumer request connected to your personal information. On behalf of your underage child, you may also make a verifiable consumer request.

Within a 12-month period, you may only make two genuine consumer requests for access or data portability.

Provide enough information to allow us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we acquired personal information or an authorised representative in the verifiable consumer request.
Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

If we can't authenticate your identity or authority to make the request, and confirm the personal information belongs to you, we won't be able to react to your request or supply you with personal information. You do not need to create an account with us to make a verifiable consumer request. Personal information given in a verifiable consumer request will only be used to confirm the requestor's identity or permission to make the request.

Timing and format of responses

We make every effort to reply to a valid consumer request within 45 days of receiving it. If we need extra time (up to 90 days), we will notify you in writing of the reason and the extension term. If you have an account with us, we will respond to that account in writing. If you do not have an account with us, we will send you a written response via mail or email, depending on your preference. Any disclosures we make will only cover the 12-month period prior to the receipt of a verifiable consumer request. If applicable, we will explain why we are unable to comply with a request in our response.

We shall choose a format to send your personal information in for data portability requests that is easily usable and allows you to transfer the information from one entity to another without difficulty.

Unless your verifiable consumer request is excessive, repetitive, or plainly baseless, we do not charge a fee to process or respond to it. Before we complete your request, if we conclude that it requires a price, we will explain why we made that choice and give you with a cost estimate.

Non-Discrimination

We will not treat you unfairly if you exercise any of your CCPA rights. We will not:

Deny you goods or services unless the CCPA allows us to.
You will be charged varying prices or rates for goods or services, including discounts or other perks, as well as penalties.
Provide you with a higher level of goods or services.
Suggestions include a different price or rate for products or services, as well as a different level or quality of goods or services.

Modifications to Our Privacy Notice

We retain the right to make changes to this privacy notice at any time. We will send you an email or post a notice on the homepage of our website if we make any changes to this privacy notice.

Information about how to contact us

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns about this notice, our Privacy Statement, the methods in which we collect and use your personal information, your choices and rights regarding such use, or if you desire to exercise your rights under California law.
