YOUR RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO INFORMATION WE HOLD ABOUT YOU AS A BUSINESS
You have the following rights with respect to information that CRMOZ holds about you.

You have the right to access (and obtain a copy of, if required) the categories of personal information that we hold about you, including the information's source, purpose and period of processing, and the persons to whom the information is shared.
Right to rectification:
You have the right to update the information we hold about you or to rectify any inaccuracies. Based on the purpose for which we use your information, you can instruct us to add supplemental information about you in our database.
Right to erasure:
You have the right to request that we delete your personal information in certain circumstances, such as when it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was originally collected.
Right to restriction of processing:
You may also have the right to request to restrict the use of your information in certain circumstances, such as when you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Right to data portability:
You have the right to transfer your information to a third party in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, in circumstances where the information is processed with your consent or by automated means.
Right to object:

Your rights under CCPA
CCPA provides you five rights, of which two are covered as part of the rights listed above. These two are: the right to access of personal information and the right to request deletion of personal information. The third is the right to opt out of sale, which is redundant since we promise not to sell share or monetize your data for the intentions and purposes of the CCPA or CPRA, nor disclose personal information that we “control” to any third party for their direct marketing purposes. The fourth right available to you under CCPA is the right against discrimination because you exercised the rights available to you and the fifth is the right to protection against waiver of rights.
You can exercise the rights described above, by sending an email to [email protected] or by writing to: 7901 4TH ST N SUITE 300, ST. PETERSBURG, FL 33702, USA. Only you, or an agent authorized to make a request on your behalf, may make a request related to your personal information.
We cannot respond to your request if, (i) we cannot verify your identity; or (ii) your request lacks sufficient details to help us handle the request. We endeavor to comply with a request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you, in writing, the reason for the delay.
Any information we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the request's receipt. We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
DATA CONTROLLER/PROCESSOR
Certain data protection laws and regulations, such as the CCPA, typically distinguish between two main roles for parties processing personal data: the “business” (or “data controller”), which determines the purposes and means of processing; and the “service provider” (or “data processor”), who processes such data on behalf of the business.
Below we explain how these roles apply to our services, to the extent that such laws and regulations apply.
CRMOZ LLC is the “business” (or “data controller”) of its prospects’, users’ and customers’ personal data. Accordingly, we assume the responsibilities of a data controller (solely to the extent applicable under law), as set forth in this Privacy Policy.
CRMOZ LLC is the “service provider” (or “data processor”) of personal data contained in customer data, as submitted by our customers. We process such data on behalf of our customer (who is the “data controller” of such data) and in accordance with its reasonable instructions and other commercial agreements with such customer.
Our customers are solely responsible for determining whether and how they wish to use our services, and for ensuring that all individuals using the services on the customer’s behalf or at their request, as well as all individuals whose personal data may be included in customer data processed through the services, have been provided with adequate notice and given informed consent to the processing of their personal data, where such consent is necessary or advised, and that all legal requirements applicable to the collection, use or other processing of data through our services are fully met by the customer. Our customers are also responsible for handling data subject rights requests under applicable law, by their users and other individuals whose data they process through the services.
If you would like to make any requests or queries regarding personal data we process as a service provider (data processor) on our customer’s behalf, including accessing, correcting, or deleting your data, please email at [email protected].
RETENTION OF INFORMATION
We retain your personal information for as long as it is required for the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy. Sometimes, we may retain your information for longer periods as permitted or required by law, such as to maintain suppression lists, prevent abuse, if required in connection with a legal claim or proceeding, to enforce our agreements, for tax, accounting, or to comply with other legal obligations. When we no longer have a legitimate need to process your information, we will delete or anonymize your information from our active databases. We will also securely store the information and isolate it from further processing on backup discs until deletion is possible.
HOW SECURE IS YOUR INFORMATION
At CRMOZ, we take data security very seriously. We have taken steps to implement appropriate administrative, technical & physical safeguards to prevent unauthorized access, use, modification, disclosure or destruction of the information you entrust to us. If you have any concerns regarding the security of your data, we encourage you to write to us at [email protected] with any questions.
DATA PROTECTION OFFICER
We have appointed a Data Protection Officer to oversee our management of your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions or concerns about our privacy practices with respect to your personal information, you can reach out to our Data Protection Officer by sending an email to [email protected] or by writing to: Data Protection Officer, 7901 4TH ST N SUITE 300, ST. PETERSBURG, FL 33702, USA.
EXTERNAL LINKS ON OUR WEBSITE
Some pages of our Website may contain links to websites that are not linked to this Privacy Policy. If you submit your personal information to any of these third-party sites, your personal information is governed by their privacy policies. As a safety measure, we recommend that you not share any personal information with these third parties unless you've checked their privacy policies and assured yourself of their privacy practices.
ENFORCEMENT OF OUR RIGHTS
We may disclose personal information and service data to a third party if we believe that such disclosure is necessary for preventing fraud, spam filtering, investigating any suspected illegal activity, enforcing our agreements or policies, or protecting the safety of our users.
UPDATES AND AMENDMENTS
We may update and amend this Privacy Policy from time to time by posting an amended version on our Website. The amended version will be effective as of the date it is published. When we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will give notice as appropriate under the circumstances, e.g., by displaying a prominent notice within the services or by sending an email. Your continued use of the services after the changes have been implemented will constitute your acceptance of the changes.
CHILDREN'S PERSONAL INFORMATION
Our Services is not directed to children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children and do not wish to do so. If we learn that a person under the age of 16 is using the Services, we will attempt to prohibit and block such use and will make our best efforts to promptly delete any personal data stored with us with regard to such child. If you believe that we might have any such data, please contact us by email at [email protected].
