This section does not address or apply to our handling of personal information that is exempt under the CCPA, such as publicly available information or information protected under the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act. Additionally, this section does not apply to California residents who apply to work with us (we provide a separate CCPA applicant privacy notice). Finally, this section does not apply to the extent we collect personal information as a “service provider” under the CCPA.

Sensitive Personal Information. We use “sensitive personal information” (as defined by the CCPA) generally for the purposes described above.
 
We do not collect, use, or disclose sensitive personal information beyond the purposes authorized by the CCPA. 
 
Retention of Personal Information. We retain your personal information for as long as needed or permitted, based on the reason we obtained it (consistent with applicable law). When deciding how long to keep your personal information, we consider whether we are subject to any legal obligations, or whether we have taken any legal positions (e.g., issued any legal holds or otherwise need to preserve the information). Rather than delete your data, we may also deidentify it by removing identifying details. Where we have committed to maintaining and using personal information in a deidentified form, we agree not to reidentify deidentified data except as permitted by applicable law.
 
Disclosure of Personal Information to Third Parties and Other Recipients. The categories of personal information we have disclosed for a business purpose in the preceding twelve (12) months include: identifiers, customer records, commercial information, Internet or other electronic network activity information, geolocation data, audio, video, and other electronic data, inferences, and sensitive personal information. The categories of third parties and other recipients to whom we may disclose personal information for a business purpose may include: affiliates, subsidiaries, business partners, vendors and service providers, investors and lenders, acquirers of business assets, advertising networks, internet service providers, data analytics providers, government entities, operating systems and platforms, and social networks.
 
Sales and Sharing of Personal Information. The CCPA defines “sale” as disclosing or making available personal information to a third-party in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration, and “sharing” includes disclosing or making available personal information to a third-party for purposes of cross-contextual behavioral advertising. While we do not disclose personal information to third parties in exchange for monetary compensation, we may be considered as “selling” or “sharing” personal information because of our use of third-party ad and analytics cookies. To this end, we may “share” and “sell” the following categories of personal information: identifiers, and Internet or other electronic network activity information. We disclose these categories to third-party advertising networks, analytics providers, and social networks for purposes of marketing and advertising. We do not sell or share personal information about individuals we know are under age 16.
 
Your CCPA Rights. The CCPA provides California residents with certain rights regarding their personal information. Note that these rights only apply to personal information we collect and process under this Policy as a business or controller. For personal information we process on behalf of our business customers and clients in our capacity as a service provider or processor, please submit your request directly to the business customer or client with whom you have a relationship, and we will provide reasonable assistance to that business customer or client as necessary to enable them to respond to your requests to exercise your privacy rights. 
In general, California residents, including our business customers’ and clients’ employees who reside in California, have the following rights with respect to their personal information, subject to certain exceptions:
 
Right to Know/Access. With respect to the personal information we have collected about you, you have the right to request:
  • The categories or personal information we collected about you;
  • The categories of sources from which the personal information is collected;
  • Our business or commercial purposes for collecting, selling, or sharing personal information;
  • The categories of third parties to whom we have disclosed personal information; and
  • A copy of the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.
 
Right to Correct. You have the right to request that we correct incorrect personal information about you.
 
Right to Delete. You have the right to request we delete your personal information.
 
Right to Opt-Out of Sales and Sharing. You have the right to opt-out of “sales” and “sharing” of your personal information, as those terms are defined under the CCPA. To exercise your right to opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information use the Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information link at the bottom of our website.
 
You also have the right to opt-out of “sales” and “sharing” of your personal information through the use of an opt-out preference signal. If our Site detects that your browser or device is transmitting an opt-out preference signal, such as the “global privacy control”—also known as GPC— signal, we will opt that browser or device out of cookies on our Site that result in a “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information. If you come to our Site from a different device or from a different browser on the same device, you will need to opt-out, or use an opt-out preference signal, for that browser and/or device as well.
 
Right to Limit Use. We do not engage in uses or disclosures of “sensitive personal information” that would trigger the right to limit use of sensitive personal information under the CCPA.
 
Right to Non-Discrimination. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of the rights described in this section.
 
Exercising Your CCPA Rights. If you are a California resident and would like to exercise your CCPA rights, you may do so via any of the methods described below:
  • Calling us at (562) 437-3553.
  • Emailing us at legal@atlasmarinetransportation.com
 
Verification. Before responding to your request, we must first verify your identity using the personal information you recently provided to us. Please provide us with your full name, the email address you usually use to communicate with us, and, if applicable, your employer’s name. We will take steps to verify your request by matching the information provided by you with the information we have in our records. In some cases, we may request additional information to verify your identity, or where necessary to process your request. If we are unable to verify your identity after a good faith attempt, we may deny the request and, if so, will explain the basis for the denial.
 
Authorized Agent. You may designate someone as an authorized agent to submit requests and act on your behalf. Authorized agents will be required to provide proof of their authorization in their first communication with us, and we may also require that the relevant consumer directly verify their identity and the authority of the authorized agent.
