CCPA/CPRA Privacy Notice (California Privacy Rights)

This section applies if You are a resident of the State of California and supplements the information in this Privacy Policy. It is adopted to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). Terms defined in the CCPA/CPRA have the same meaning when used in this section.

Categories of Personal Information Collected

We collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular Consumer or Device. The following is a list of categories of Personal Information which We may collect or may have been collected from California residents within the last twelve (12) months. The table below indicates the category and whether We collect it.

Under the CCPA/CPRA, Personal Information does not include publicly available information from government records, deidentified or aggregated consumer information, or information excluded from the CCPA/CPRA's scope.

Sources of Personal Information

We obtain the categories of Personal Information listed above from the following categories of sources:

• Directly from You. For example, from the forms You complete on our Service, preferences You express, or from Your purchases.

• Indirectly from You. For example, from observing Your activity on our Service.

• Automatically from You. For example, through cookies We or our Service Providers set on Your Device as You navigate our Service.

• From Service Providers. For example, third-party vendors to monitor and analyze the use of our Service, or other third-party vendors that We use to provide the Service to You.

Use of Personal Information

We may use or disclose Personal Information We collect for the business purposes described in the "Use of Your Personal Data" section above, including to operate our Service, provide customer support, personalize Your experience, perform analytics, detect security incidents, and comply with our legal obligations.

Disclosures of Personal Information for a Business Purpose

We may disclose Your Personal Information to a Service Provider for a business purpose. In each instance, We enter into a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to both keep that Personal Information confidential and not use it for any purpose except performing the contract. In the preceding twelve (12) months, We may have disclosed the categories of Identifiers, Customer Records information, Commercial information, Internet activity, Geolocation data, and Sensitive personal information for a business purpose.

Sale or Sharing of Personal Information

"Sharing" under the CPRA refers to disclosing Personal Information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not sell Personal Information in exchange for monetary consideration. However, certain disclosures of Personal Information to advertising and analytics partners through cookies or similar technologies may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" under the CCPA/CPRA.

If You are a California resident, You have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of Your Personal Information. To exercise this right, see "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" below.

We do not knowingly sell or share the Personal Information of Consumers We know to be less than 16 years of age.

Use of Sensitive Personal Information

We do not use or disclose Sensitive Personal Information for purposes other than those permitted under the CCPA/CPRA (for example, to perform the services reasonably expected, to ensure security and integrity, or for short-term transient use). Accordingly, We do not offer a "Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information" option, because We do not use it for purposes that would trigger that right.

Your Rights Under the CCPA/CPRA

The CCPA/CPRA provides California residents with specific rights regarding their Personal Information. These include:

• The right to notice. You have the right to be notified which categories of Personal Information are being collected and the purposes for which it is being used.

• The right to know / access. You have the right to request that We disclose information to You about Our collection, use, sale, disclosure for business purposes and share of Personal Information, covering the preceding 12 months.

• The right to correct. You have the right to request that We correct inaccurate Personal Information that We maintain about You.

• The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of Personal Information. You have the right to direct Us to not sell or share Your Personal Information.

• The right to limit the use of Sensitive Personal Information. You have the right to request that We limit the use or disclosure of Your Sensitive Personal Information (subject to the note above).

• The right to non-discrimination. You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for the exercise of Your CCPA/CPRA privacy rights.

Exercising Your CCPA/CPRA Rights

To exercise any of the rights described above, please submit a verifiable request to Us by emailing info@mecone.trade.

Only You, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that You authorize to act on Your behalf, may make a verifiable request related to Your Personal Information. We cannot respond to Your request or provide You with the required information if We cannot verify Your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that the Personal Information relates to You.

We will disclose and deliver the required information free of charge within 45 days of receiving Your verifiable request. The time period to provide the required information may be extended once by an additional 45 days when reasonably necessary and with prior notice.

Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

You have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of Your Personal Information. To exercise this right, You may:

• Email Us at info@mecone.trade with the subject line "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information."

• Adjust Your cookie preferences using Our cookie preferences tool (if available) to disable non-essential cookies.

• Enable a recognized opt-out preference signal, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC), in Your browser. Where required by law, We will treat such a signal as a valid request to opt out for that browser or device.

You can enable or disable Do Not Track by visiting the preferences or settings page of Your web browser. However, because no common industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals has been adopted, We do not currently respond to them. We do honor recognized opt-out preference signals such as the Global Privacy Control where required, as described in the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" section above.

Children's Privacy

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 16. If You are a parent or guardian and You are aware that Your child has provided Us with Personal Data, please contact Us. If We become aware that We have collected Personal Data from anyone under the age of 16 without verification of parental consent, We take steps to remove that information from Our servers.

If We need to rely on consent as a legal basis for processing Your information and Your country requires consent from a parent, We may require Your parent's consent before We collect and use that information.

Links to Other Websites

Our Service may contain links to other websites that are not operated by Us. If You click on a third party link, You will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise You to review the Privacy Policy of every site You visit.
