Supplemental State Privacy Notice for Residents of California and Texas

This Supplemental State Privacy Notice (“Supplemental Notice”) describes how Hudson Cook collects, uses, and shares your “personal information” or “personal data” (as such terms are defined under applicable law, collectively “Personal Data”) we receive about you solely in our role as a controller of such personal data, if you are a resident of California or Texas.

When we act as a “controller” of personal data, we determine the purposes and means for processing the data. On the other hand, when we process personal data at our clients’ direction and on our clients’ behalf, we act as a “processor” of that data. This Supplemental Notice does not cover personal data we process as a “processor.”

This Supplemental Notice supplements our Privacy Policy but applies only to personal data collected about residents of the following states: California and Texas.

Personal data covered by this Supplemental Notice includes only data subject to applicable consumer data privacy law. Such laws generally exclude, and therefore this Notice does not cover:

• Publicly available data from government records.
• Deidentified or aggregated personal data.
• Personal Data covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.

The following paragraphs also list, for each category, the retention period, whether or not we sell the category of personal data to third parties or share it for cross-context targeted advertising, and whether we disclose it for business purposes (like with our service providers).

• Professional or Employment-Related Information, including information about your current employer, position, and other aspects of your professional history.

We do not collect sensitive personal data or sensitive personal data, as defined by applicable state law. We do not knowingly collect the Personal Data of consumers under 16 years of age.

We collect the above categories of Personal Data listed above from the following categories of sources:

• Directly from you. For example, from forms you complete or data you provide that is necessary for use of the website.
• Indirectly from you. For example, from observing your actions on our website.
• From third-party service providers.

What We Do With Your Personal Data and How We May Disclose It

We collect and use Personal Data for the following purposes:

• To provide our services;
• To communicate with you; and
• To market our services.

We may also use the above collected personal data to respond to law enforcement requests and as required by applicable law, court order, or governmental regulations (collectively, “legal purposes”). We may disclose all categories of Personal Data identified above for legal purposes.

We may also disclose all categories of Personal Data identified above to our professional advisors and other service providers to provide our services.

Additionally, we may disclose the following categories of Personal Data to marketing and communications companies that process the Personal Data on our behalf:

• Identifiers such as a real name, alias, postal address, unique personal identifier, online identifier, Internet Protocol address, email address, or similar identifiers; and
• Customer record personal information such as address, telephone number, credit card number, debit card number, or any other financial or medical information.

We do not sell your Personal Data or share your Personal Data for purposes of cross-contextual or targeted advertising.

We retain the above categories of personal data for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, as described in this Supplemental Notice.

Rights You May Have Under State Law

If you are a resident of California, you have the right to request:

• That we disclose what Personal Data we have collected about you, including:
  • the categories of and specific pieces of Personal Data we have collected,
  • the categories of sources from which we collected Personal Data, 
  • our business or commercial purposes for collecting, selling, or sharing Personal Data, and 
  • the categories of third parties with whom we have shared Personal Data;
• Deletion of the Personal Data we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions described in applicable law;

• Correction of the Personal Data we maintain from you;
• To limit the use or disclosure of sensitive personal data; and
• To not receive discriminatory treatment by us for the exercise of privacy rights conferred by applicable law.

If you are a resident of Texas, you have the right to request:

• To confirm whether we are processing or have processed your Personal Data;
• That we provide a copy of all of your Personal Data that we have processed or are processing;
• Correction of any inaccuracies in your Personal Data; and
• Deletion of certain Personal Data.

California and Texas state law also provide for the right to opt out of certain processing, including:

• The sale of Personal Data,
• The sharing of Personal Data for purposes of cross-contextual advertising or targeted advertising, and
• Profiling or the use of automated decision-making technology (“ADMT”) in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

However, as previously noted, we do not collect sensitive personal data, as defined by applicable state law. We also do not engage in the sale of personal data, the sharing of personal data for purposes of cross-contextual or targeted advertising, or the profiling or use of ADMT in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

How to Exercise Your Rights Described in this Supplemental Notice

Only you, or an agent you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal data.

To authorize another person to make a verifiable request on your behalf, you must provide that person with signed permission clearly describing their authority to make a request on your behalf. For the agent to make a request on your behalf, the agent must provide proof of the signed permission, and we may still verify your identity directly.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal data if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal data relates to you.

We will only use personal data provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

If your request is denied, you will be provided with a method to appeal this finding.

If you are a California resident and would like to submit a CCPA request, or have questions about this Supplemental Notice, you or your authorized agent may contact us at privacypolicy@hudco.com. We will request your name, address, phone number, and we may request additional information to verify your request.
