RIGHT TO ACCESS AND REQUEST DELETION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

The CCPA provides Consumers the right to request, pursuant to a “Verified Request” that OCMBC, Inc. provide access to and/or delete any personal information about the Consumer which OCMBC, Inc. collected from the Consumer, subject to certain exceptions.

This right to request deletion is not absolute and is subject to several restrictions and exemptions. OCMBC, Inc. reserves all rights granted pursuant to the CCPA’s exemptions and restrictions relating to the deletion of personal information.

In the event that we receive a “Verified Request” to delete information that is not covered by a restriction or exemption, we will notify you within 45 days and delete your personal information from our records, and direct any Service Providers to delete your personal information from its records. In the event that we receive a “Verified Request” to delete information that is covered by a restriction or exemption, we will deny your request and within 45 days provide you a response indicating why it is denied.

WHERE RIGHT TO DELETE DOES NOT APPLY

We may deny your deletion request if we cannot verify your identity, we cannot verify the authorization of your agent, if the information was not collected from you or is otherwise not subject to the rights granted by the CCPA (see EXEMPTIONS TO THE CCPA above), or, if retaining the information is necessary for us or our Service Providers to:

1. 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.

2. Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.

3. Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.

5. Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 seq.).

6. 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 information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.

7. Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.

8. Comply with a legal obligation.

9. Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

YOUR RIGHT NOT TO BE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST

• A. Denying goods or services to the Consumer;

• B. Charging different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties;

• C. Providing different level or quality of goods or services to the Consumer;

However, OCMBC, Inc. shall be permitted to charge you a different price or rate, or provide a different level or quality of good or service to you, if that difference is reasonably related to the value provided to us by your data, should you elect to participate in any financial incentive program as we may offer from time to time, and only after we clearly describe the material terms of the financial incentive program. We will not use financial incentive programs that are unjust, unreasonable, coercive, or usurious.
