State Privacy Rights

A number of states require comprehensive privacy laws giving residents specific privacy rights include: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Iowa, Montana, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Virginia. In some cases, the rights may depend on when the law is effective and whether you are a resident of a state with specific privacy laws, as well as other factors. Below are the notices that we are obligated to make pursuant to state privacy laws:

Notice of Information Collected

In the past twelve months, we may have collected the following categories of personal information:

Disclosure of Personal Information

In the past twelve months, we may have disclosed the following categories of personal information for business or commercial purposes to the following categories of recipients:

Your Right to Limit Processing of Sensitive Personal Information

If you are a California resident, under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), or California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), you have the right to limit our processing of your Sensitive Personal Information to only uses which are necessary to perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected by an average consumer who requests such goods or services. When we collect your Sensitive Personal Information, we collect and use that information to perform the services or provide the goods for which that information is necessary and as reasonably expected by you.

With to other state privacy laws, Company is only allowed to collect certain pieces of Sensitive Personal Information after we have obtained your consent to do so. Where required, we get your agreement to collect and use Sensitive Personal Information.

Sales of Personal Information

State privacy laws define “sales” of data and personal information differently. Under California law, the “sale” of data means certain scenarios in which Company has shared personal information with third parties or its affiliates, in exchange for valuable consideration. Other states define the “sale” of data as when Company is exchanging personal information for monetary consideration with a non-affiliated third party.

Under California’s definition of sales, we are considered to be “selling” the following types of personal information to the following types of third parties:

Your Rights Under State Privacy Laws

If you are a California resident you have the right to request correction or deletion of the personal information that we have collected from you, as well as ceasing the sharing of any personal information we have collected from you subject to limited exceptions: for example, we may retain personal information to complete a transaction with you, or we may retain information that would affect the privacy of others or interfere with legal requirements. If your deletion request is subject to an exception under the CCPA and CPRA, we may deny your deletion request. You have the right to also opt-out of the “sales” described in the above section.

To exercise the rights described above, you should send us written request via email to info@offmarket.com or via the Company address listed below.  Please ensure that your request  (1) provides sufficient information to allow us to verify that you are the person about whom we have collected personal information; and (2) provides sufficient detail to allow us to understand, evaluate, and respond to your request. We may not be obligated or able to respond to requests that do not meet these criteria. 

For your security we may require you to verify your identity before we can act on your request. There may be information we will not return in response to your access request, such as information that would affect the privacy of others or interfere with legal requirements. Similarly, there may be reasons why we cannot comply with your deletion request, such as the need to keep your personal information to fulfill a legal obligation.

Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to any complete and valid request within 30 days of receipt. There is no cost to submit a valid request although Company may require a fee if your request(s) are excessive, repetitive, or unreasonable. You will not be charged a fee, and your fee-bearing request will not be processed, without Company providing you with prior written notice. 

Should you choose to exercise any of your rights under the CCPA or CPRA, Company will not deny you any services, charge you different rates, or provide lesser quality services. However, in the future Company may elect to offer different tiers of services as allowed by applicable laws which may contain differing prices, rates, or levels of quality, which may be related to the value of personal information that we receive from you.​

California Civil Code Section § 1798.83 permits users of the Website that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send an email to info@offmarket.com.

If you are a resident of Colorado, Connecticut, Utah or Virginia you may have similar rights to know the categories of data we collect, use and disclose, as well as potential rights to request corrections or deletions of your data. To submit a request to know, correct or delete, please send an email to info@offmarket.com. We may be required to take certain steps to verify your identity before processing your request.

Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

Your Legal Rights

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data, which may include rights to the following:

• Request access to your personal data.
• Request correction of your personal data.
• Request erasure of your personal data.
• Object to processing of your personal data.
• Request restriction of processing your personal data.
• Request transfer of your personal data.
• Withdraw consent.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us at info@offmarket.com.

​You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

​We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
