State Privacy Rights

A number of US states, including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia, may provide their residents with certain privacy rights. Many of these states’ laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the “CCPA”), do not apply to us because we are a non-profit entity or because we do not meet the law’s jurisdictional requirements.

As a resident of one of these states, you may have rights to:

  • Confirm whether we process your personal information.
  • Access and delete certain personal information.
  • Data portability.
  • Opt-out of personal data processing for targeted advertising and sales.
  • Correct inaccuracies in your personal information.
  • Opt-out of profiling for use in decisions with legal or similarly significant effects.

If you are a resident of the State of California and we have an established business relationship with you, then you have a right under Section 1798.83 of the California Civil Code to request (a) a list of the categories of personal information disclosed to other companies for their marketing purposes during the preceding calendar year, with the companies’ names and addresses and (b) the discontinuation (or opt-out) of our sharing of the information with those third parties. Please submit any requests to us at the email address below with a subject line of “My California Privacy Rights” that includes the nature of your request; your name, street address, city, state, zip code and email address; and whether you prefer to receive a response to your request by postal mail or email.

The exact scope of these rights may vary by state. To exercise any of these rights please submit a request with a subject line of “My State Privacy Rights” to info@kansascityfwc26.com.

When we receive a request, we will seek to verify your identity and we may seek additional information from you.
