California residents may have certain consumer rights. These rights may include:
Edvak will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights, such as charging different prices or denying services. However, Edvak may adjust prices, rates, or service quality if it's reasonably tied to the value the data provides. You can also control the use and disclosure of your CCPA/CPRA Personal Information by unsubscribing from marketing communications or contacting Edvak. Edvak may also limit access to CCPA/CPRA Personal Information when providing access would be disproportionately burdensome or infringe on others' rights.
You have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of CCPA/CPRA Personal Information.
You can limit the use or disclosure of your CCPA/CPRA Sensitive Personal Information.
To exercise any of these rights, please fill out the CCPA/CPRA Consumer Rights Request Form or reach us toll-free at +1 (832) 917 0909.
We'll carefully review your requests and respond accordingly. It's important to note that the rights mentioned here are not absolute, and we retain all rights available to us under the law. Additionally, if we hold your CCPA/CPRA Personal Information solely in de-identified form, we won't attempt to re-identify your data in response to a Consumer Rights request.
For requests related to your CCPA/CPRA Personal Information, we may ask you to provide a valid means of identification as a security precaution. To verify your identity with a reasonably high level of certainty, we'll either match the identifying information you provide with the CCPA/CPRA Personal Information we maintain at Edvak or employ a third-party identity verification service. If we need to collect extra information for verification, we'll use it solely for that purpose and promptly delete it after fulfilling your request. In cases involving particularly sensitive information, we may request additional proof of identification.
If you choose to make a Consumer Rights request through an authorized agent, we will require written proof of the agent's authorization to act on your behalf. Rest assured, we will process your request within the timeframe mandated by applicable law.
In addition to the previously mentioned rights, California's Shine the Light law allows California residents to request specific information regarding how their data is shared with third parties and, in some cases, affiliates, for the purpose of these third parties and affiliates conducting their own direct marketing. According to the law, a business is required to furnish this information or allow California customers to choose whether they want to opt in or opt out of such sharing.
Occasionally, we may decide to share particular information collected from you through our Services with third parties or affiliates for their own direct marketing activities. If you are a California resident, you have the option to opt out of any future sharing of your personal information (as defined by the California Shine the Light law) by reaching us at [email protected]

However, if you prefer to make your request directly to us, kindly provide the name of the customer for whom we processed your personal information.
