  • California

Residents of California have the option to submit CCPA requests either personally or through an authorized agent. This can be done using our privacy policy or by emailing compliance@cogitaxis.com. It is important to note that CCPA requests are subject to our verification measures, which may vary based on the nature of the request and the sensitivity of the requested information. As part of the verification process, we may ask for certain information to confirm your identity as it appears in our records. In cases where an agent is authorized to request on behalf of you, we may require proof of your consent and may also verify the identity and authority of the agent.

How We Respond To “Do-Not-Track” Signals & GPC:

A “do-not-track” signal is feature in specific web browsers that allows users to indicate their preference for not tracking their online activity. Our website supports Global Privacy Control (GPC), a specification that enables internet users to communicate their privacy preferences to businesses. This includes preferences regarding tracking, as well as the sharing or selling of personal information for targeted advertising. GPC can be enabled through the browser or mobile device settings or using a compatible browser extension. To learn more about the available options for GPC, please click here. If you wish to use GPC, you can download and activate it through a participating browser or browser extension. Additional information on downloading GPC can be found by clicking here. It’s important to note that if GPC is enabled in your browser or device, it will take precedence over any preferences set in our website’s cookie banner or privacy settings.

  • Notice of Financial Incentive

Our company offers loyalty and incentive programs to our valued customers, which include various benefits such as rewards and exclusive offers. Additionally, we run promotional campaigns like sweepstakes, contests, and limited-time promotions, collectively known as the “Programs.” When you choose to enroll in one of our Programs, we will typically request your name and contact information, like email address and/or telephone number. As these programs involve collecting personal information, they may be considered “financial incentive” programs under the CCPA.

The value we place on your personal information is directly related to the value of the free or discounted products, services, or other benefits you receive as part of the relevant Program. We deduct the expenses associated with offering those products, services, and benefits to participants in calculating this value.

Participation in any Program is subject to the terms and conditions specified, including the official rules for sweepstakes or contests or the promotional terms for short-term promotions. These terms and conditions also outline the financial incentives associated with the promotion and provide instructions on how to participate. Please note that participation in any contest, sweepstakes, or short-term promotion is entirely voluntary, and you can withdraw from the Program at any time as stated in the survey terms and conditions. To withdraw from a Program, kindly contact us using the designated method specified in the relevant Program terms and conditions.
