To the extent you are a California resident, and we collect “personal information” subject to the CCPA, the following applies. This section does not address or apply to our handling of publicly available information or personal information that is otherwise exempt under the CCPA.

Categories of Personal Information Collected and Disclosed. The following table identifies the categories of personal information we may collect about you (and may have collected in the prior 12 months), as defined by the CCPA, as well as the categories of third parties to whom we may disclose this information for a business or commercial purpose.

Sensitive Personal Information. We do not collect, use, or disclose “sensitive personal information” beyond the purposes authorized by the CCPA. Accordingly, we only use and disclose sensitive personal information as reasonably necessary and proportionate: (i) to perform our services requested by you; (ii) to help ensure security and integrity, including to prevent, detect, and investigate security incidents; (iii) to detect, prevent and respond to malicious, fraudulent, deceptive, or illegal conduct; (iv) to verify or maintain the quality and safety of our services; (v) for compliance with our legal obligations; (vi) to our service providers who perform services on our behalf; and (vii) for purposes other than inferring characteristics about you.

For example, we will retain your account information for as long as you have an active account with us and additional information as necessary to comply with our tax, accounting and recordkeeping obligations, to provide you with the services you have requested, as well as an additional period of time as necessary to protect, defend or establish our rights, defend against potential claims, and comply with our legal obligations. In some cases, rather than delete your personal information, we may deidentify or aggregate it and use it in compliance with the CCPA.

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-context behavioral advertising. While we do not disclose personal information to third parties in exchange for monetary compensation, we may “sell” or “share” the following categories of personal information: identifiers, Internet and network activity information, and commercial information. We may disclose these categories to third-party advertising networks, analytics providers, and social networks for purposes of marketing and advertising and to improve and measure our ad campaigns.

• Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information. You have the right to limit use and disclose of your sensitive personal information. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information beyond the purposes authorized by the CCPA; thus, this right is not available to California residents.

Submitting CCPA Requests. California residents may exercise their CCPA privacy rights as set forth below:

• Right to Know, Delete, and Correct. California residents may submit CCPA requests to access/know, delete, and correct their personal information by using our webform or calling 1-800-743-0959.

When you submit a request, we will take steps to verify your identity and request by matching the information provided by you with the information we have in our records. In some cases, we may request additional information in order 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.

You may also 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.

Right to Opt-Out of Sales and Sharing. To exercise your right to opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information, you may submit an opt out request via our webform. We will apply your opt out based upon the personal information in our records that is linked or reasonably linkable to the information provided in your request. You can also opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information via our cookie preference manager by opting out of the collection of targeting cookies. You may also click the link at the bottom of our Site.

Notice of Financial Incentive. With respect to some of our Services, Lumens may make available certain programs or offerings, and other sweepstakes, contests, or similar promotional offerings (each a “Program”) which may include certain offers, rewards, discounts, services, perks and promotions (“Rewards and Offers”). These Programs may be considered “financial incentives” under the CCPA. As described below, Lumens collects, discloses, and retains personal information about participating customers as part of these Programs.

• Lux Rewards Program. Customers may join the Lux Rewards Program to earn points on every dollar spent towards discounts on future purchases. Participants can earn rewards for qualifying purchases and may be able to access other Rewards and Offers, such as vouchers or excusive discounts. To enroll in the Lux Rewards Program, you must create a free Lumens account or log in and sign up in “My Account”. This Program requires you provide us with personal information, which may include identifiers (i.e., name, email, address, username, and other similar contact information) and certain commercial information (i.e., purchasing history). For more information, please review the Lux Rewards Program Terms and Conditions at https://www.lumens.com/customer-service/lumens-lux-rewards-terms-and-conditions.html.
• Other Programs. We may also provide other Programs, including sweepstakes, contests and other promotional offerings or incentives. For example, we may make available Rewards and Offers to customers that participate in one of our customer satisfaction or market research surveys or requests for feedback. To participate in such as Program, you must register and provide us with certain personal information, which may include identifiers (i.e., name, email, address, and other similar contact information), and any feedback or responses. Some of these Programs may be administered by third party partners who may collect or receive your personal information to administer the Program and provide related services to us.

We provide these Rewards and Offers to participating customers in order to understand and improve customer satisfaction and experiences, and to foster positive customer relationships. As a basis for offering these Rewards and Offers, we have valued the personal information we obtain based on a reasonable and good faith calculation determined by considering expenses related to the programs. In doing so, we value the personal information collected through the programs as the equivalent of the costs and expenses incurred to provide the program, including IT, administration, direct costs, third party costs, discounts, and service development costs.

Your personal information is collected and retained, and may be disclosed to Lumens’ business partners, vendors and service providers, and other third parties, as described in this Policy, including in order (i) to administer the Program, (ii) for research and analytics purposes, (iii) to improve our products and services, (iv) to better reach you with more relevant, targeted offers, and (v) to send you Lumens news, updates and offers by email, postal mail, and text message (in accordance with your communications preferences).

You may withdraw from participating in a Program at any time by contacting us at privacy@lumens.com. Please note that if you withdraw from a Program (or submit a CCPA request to delete your Program information), your participation in that Program will be terminated, which means that you will no longer be eligible to earn, use, access or redeem any Program Rewards and Offers, subject to the applicable Program terms.
