Personal Information We Collect
The CCPA provides California residents, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that a California resident authorizes to act on their behalf, with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights and how to make a verifiable request.
Right to Know and Access Your Information
You have the right to request that we disclose to you:
- the categories of personal information we have collected about you;
- the categories of sources from which we collect your personal information;
- the business or commercial purposes for collecting or disclosing your personal information;
- the categories of third parties with whom we share your personal information;
- the categories of personal information we have disclosed about you for a business purpose; and
- the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.
To request any of these disclosures, you or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf ("authorized agent"), can:
- call us at 1-866-723-3149 or
- visit www.gaig.com and select the privacy link at the bottom of the webpage.
Only you, or your authorized agent, may make a request related to your personal information. You also may make a request on behalf of your minor child.
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information, however, if we cannot (i) verify your identity or authority to make the request, and (ii) confirm the personal information relates to you. To make a verifiable request, you must:
- provide sufficient information to allow us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or that you are the person authorized to make the request. If you are an authorized agent, you also will be required to provide proof that you are authorized to make the request, such as by providing a copy of the written permission from the person on whose behalf you are making the request; and
- describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond.
We will only use personal information you provide to verify your identity or authority to make the request. Making a verifiable request does not require you to create on account with us.
You may make up to two (2) requests in any twelve (12) month period.
Right to Request Deletion
You have the right to request that we delete your personal information. To make a deletion request, you or your authorized agent, can:
- call us at 1-866-723-3149 or
- visit www.gaig.com and select the privacy link at the bottom of the webpage.
Only you, or your authorized agent, may make a request related to your personal information. You also may make a request on behalf of your minor child.
We cannot respond to your deletion request, however, if we cannot (i) verify your identity or authority to make the request, and (ii) confirm the personal information relates to you. To make a verifiable request, you must:
- provide sufficient information to allow us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or that you are the person authorized to make the request. If you are an authorized agent, you also will be required to provide proof that you were authorized to make the request, such as by providing a copy of the written permission from the person on whose behalf you are making the request; and
- describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond.
We will only use personal information you provide to verify your identity or authority to make the request. Making a deletion request does not require you to create an account with us.
You should be aware, however, that California law allows us to retain your personal information under certain conditions, even if you have asked us to delete it. We, therefore, may deny your deletion request if, for example, retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s), including, but not limited to, for any of the following reasons:
- to complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you;
- to detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities;
- to comply with a legal obligation; or
- otherwise use personal information, internally, in a manner compatible with the context in which you provided the information.
We will promptly consider all deletion requests. In addition, we will notify you of any denial of your deletion request and the reason for such denial.
Right to Non-discrimination for the Exercise of Consumer Privacy Rights
We will not discriminate against you because you have chosen to exercise any of your privacy rights described above.
