Individual Data Rights Request

California, Colorado, Virginia, Nevada, Utah, and Connecticut Consumers have certain rights with respect to the collection and use of their Personal Information. Those rights vary by state. As required by the CCPA, we provide detailed information below regarding the data subject rights available to California consumers. Consumers in Colorado, Virginia, Nevada, Utah, and Connecticut have similar rights and can find more detail by referencing the CPA, VCDPA, NOPL, UCPA, or CDPA, as applicable.

You have the right to submit requests related to the Personal Information we have collected about you. You may make such a request twice in a 12-month span. Please note, there are circumstances when we may not be able to comply with your request. For example, we may not be able to verify your request, or we may find that providing a full response conflict with other legal obligations or regulatory requirements. We will notify you if this is the case.

You have the right to receive the following information at or before the point of collection:

  • The categories of Personal Information to be collected;
  • The Purposes for which the categories of Personal Information are collected or used;
  • Whether or not that Personal Information is sold or shared with Third Parties or disclosed to Vendors;
  • If we collect Sensitive Personal Information, the categories of Sensitive Personal Information that we collect, the Purposes for which it is collected or used, and whether that information is sold or shared; and
  • The length of time we intend to retain each category of Personal Information, or if that is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period.

We have provided such information in this USA Supplement, and you may request further information about our privacy practices by using the contact information provided below.

  • Specific pieces and categories of Personal Information we collected about you;
  • The sources from which Personal Information was collected;
  • The Purposes for which Personal Information was collected, shared, sold, or processed;

Right to Delete

You have the right to request that we delete certain Personal Information that we have collected.

Right to Correct

You have a right to request that we correct any inaccurate Personal Information we may retain about you.

Right to Opt-Out of the Sale and/or Sharing of Your Personal Information

You have the right to opt-out of the sale and/or sharing of your Personal Information with Third Parties, and the right to opt out of the processing of Personal Information for targeted advertising purposes, as defined in the CCPA.

We do not sell but we may share your Personal Information, or process Personal Information for targeted advertising purposes. In the past 12 months, we have not sold or shared the categories of consumer Personal Information as listed in this USA Supplement. As a consumer, you have the right to opt-out of the sale and/or sharing of your Personal Information and of the processing of Personal Information for the purpose of targeted advertising. To submit an opt-out request, please follow the “Instructions to Exercise Your Rights,” below. We do not knowingly sell or share Personal Information of consumers under 18 years of age.

If you opt-out of the sale of your Personal Information, we will wait at least 12 months before asking you if we may sell or share your Personal Information.

You have the right to opt-in to the sale of your Personal Information after you have opted out. If you would like to opt-in to the sale or sharing of your Personal Information, please contact us at data@inductiveautomation.com.

Right to Limit the Use of Your Sensitive Personal Information

You have the right to instruct us to limit the use and disclosure of your Sensitive Personal Information to only that which is necessary to perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected by average consumers, or for specific business purposes defined by applicable law.

We do not use Sensitive Personal Information for purposes beyond those authorized by the CCPA.

Right to Non-discrimination

You have a right to exercise the above rights, and we will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights. Please note that a legitimate denial of a request to access, delete, or opt-out is not discriminatory, nor is charging a fee for excessive or repetitive requests.

Instructions To Exercise Your Rights

If you would like to make any of the data requests listed above, please submit a request by clicking here, or emailing us at data@inductiveautomation.com. You may opt-out of the sale or share of your Personal Information by clicking here.

You may designate an authorized agent to exercise your rights under the CCPA on your behalf. Such individual must have a power of attorney, or be an authorized agent registered with the relevant Secretary of State.

Verification Process

When you submit a request to exercise your data subject rights, we may ask you to provide information that will enable us to verify your identity and ensure your right to access your Personal Information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that Personal Information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response. If you designate an authorized agent to exercise your rights on your behalf, we may require that you or the authorized agent do the following:

  • Verify your identity with us directly.
  • Provide proof of your signed written permission for the authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf.

We may deny a request from an agent purportedly acting on your behalf if we request, and the agent does not submit, proof that he, she, or it has been authorized by you to act on your behalf.

Right to Appeal for California, Virginia, Nevada, Colorado, and Connecticut Consumers

You have the right to appeal our decisions about your data subject requests. If you choose to appeal, your request will move from our customer experience team to our Legal Department for review.  If you would like to appeal a decision regarding your data request, please submit a request by emailing us at data@inductiveautomation.com.  Please state that your request is an “Appeal,” and describe the date and nature of your original request.
