"Sharing" and "Selling" Personal Information: As outlined in "How We Share Your Information" above, Tri-anim uses certain Tracking Technologies, such as Google Analytics. Since the retention of analytics data of the Website by any third party analytics service provider may impact the price of such analytics services to Tri-anim, it may be deemed a "sale" of personal information under CCPA. You have the right to opt out of this type of disclosure of your personal information to third parties and we have provided opportunities on the Website for you to exercise this right including a link that says "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" on our homepage and a further link in the Contact Us section of this policy. Upon request, we are able to provide details of the categories of personal information we have "sold" to or "shared" (as these terms are defined in CCPA) with third parties.

Retention of Personal Information: For each of the categories of personal information collected, we retain your Personal Information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which such information was collected and in compliance with applicable laws. The criteria used to determine the retention periods include: (i) how long the information is needed to provide the services and otherwise operate our business; (ii) the type of information collected; and (iii) whether we are subject to a legal, contractual, or other obligation to retain the information (e.g., mandatory data retention laws, government orders to preserve data relevant to an investigation, or data that must be retained for the purposes of litigation or disputes).
Your Privacy Rights as a California Resident: Subject to certain limitations, California consumers have the right to (1) request to know more about the categories and pieces of personal information we collect, use, and disclose, (2) request deletion of your personal information, (3) request correction of your personal information, and (4) not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights, including an applicant’s right not to be retaliated against for the exercise of their CCPA rights. California consumers or their authorized agents may make such a request by contacting us through any of the means described in the Contact Us section.
Shine the Light Law: California Civil Code Section 1798.83, known as the "Shine The Light" law, permits our customers who are California residents to request a list of what personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes in the last calendar year and the names and addresses of any such third parties.
