Notice to California Residents

This section applies only to California residents and supplements the practices described in this Privacy Notice. It describes how we collect, use, sell, share, and retain personal information of California residents, and their rights with respect to their personal information. For purposes of this section “personal information” has the meaning given in the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended (the “CCPA”), but does not include information exempted from the scope of the CCPA.

Personal information collected and purposes of collection and use. By reference to the categories specified in the CCPA (as amended), a summary of the categories of personal information we collect or have collected in the 12 months preceding the last updated date of this Privacy Notice, is described in the section titled “Categories of Personal Information”.

We may collect these categories of personal information from sources as described within the section “What Information we Collect and Why.”

The purposes, including the specific business and commercial purposes, for which we collect and use these categories of personal information are described in the section titled “Our Legitimate Business Purposes.”

Personal information disclosed for a business purpose, “sold,” or “shared.” Each of the categories of personal information listed above may have been disclosed for business purposes in the preceding 12 months to any of the third parties set forth in this Privacy Notice under the section titled “With Whom we Share Your Information and Why”.

The CCPA defines a “sale” of personal information to mean when a business discloses a California resident’s personal information to a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration. Where a business discloses personal information for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising, whether or not for monetary or other valuable consideration, it qualifies as “sharing” under the CCPA.

Your California privacy rights. As a California resident, in addition to the choices described elsewhere in this Privacy Notice, you have the rights listed below. Please note, these rights are not absolute, and, in some cases, we may not be able to respond to your request, such as when a legal exemption applies or if we are not able to verify your identity.

• Right to know/access. You can request information about how we have collected and used your personal information, including the categories of personal information we collected; the categories of sources from which we collected it; the business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, or sharing it; the categories of third parties with whom we disclose it; and a copy of the personal information that we collected about you.
• Right to delete. You can request that we delete the personal information we collected from you.
• Right to correct. You can request that we correct inaccurate personal information that we maintain about you.
• Right to opt-out of sales/sharing. If we “sell” or “share” your personal information, you can opt out.
• Right to limit. You have the right to ask us to limit the use or disclosure of your sensitive personal information to only certain business purposes set forth in the CCPA.
• Right to nondiscrimination. You are entitled to exercise the rights described above without receiving discriminatory treatment.

Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months.

Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we may disclose to you:

• The categories of personal information we’ve collected about you.
• The categories of sources for the personal information we’ve collected about you.
• Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
• The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
• The specific pieces of personal information we’ve collected about you (also called a data portability request).
• If we sold or disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing: sales, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.

Deletion Request Rights

You have the right to request us to delete your personal information.

Once your request is validated, we will delete and direct our service providers to delete your personal information.

When We May Deny Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Requests

Please note that Horizon may not be required to fulfill your requests in certain circumstances. These include instances where we must retain or restrict access to personal information in order to meet regulatory obligations of Horizon and its affiliates, or where we are permitted to retain information for specific reasons described in the CCPA or other applicable law.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise your rights described above, please visit our Privacy Center to submit a request.

Only you, or a person that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we’ve collected personal information or an authorized representative.
• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

If we do not have enough information to verify your identity or authority, we may request that you provide additional personal information for the verification process. We cannot fulfill your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.

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

Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.

For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily usable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer 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.

Sales of Personal Information

To opt-out of sales of personal information that we make for our own business purposes, please visit our Privacy Center.

We process personal information on behalf of our clients, who engage us in processing their customers’ data. When requested by our clients, we cooperate with them to help them honor their customers’ opt-out rights as required by the CCPA.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.

Other California Privacy Rights

California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits users of our website that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

If you direct us not to sell/share your personal information, we will consider it a request pursuant to California’s “Shine the Light” law to stop sharing your personal information covered by that law with third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

We reserve the right to confirm your California residence to process your requests and will need to confirm your identity to process your requests to exercise your right to know/access, delete, and correct. This is a security measure to, for example, help ensure we do not disclose information to a person who is not entitled to receive it. The identity verification process may vary depending on how you submit your request.

Consistent with California law, you may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. If you do so, we may require proof of your identification, the authorized agent’s proof of identification, and any other information that we may request in order to verify the request, including evidence of valid permission for the authorized agent to act on your behalf. We cannot process your request if you do not provide us with sufficient detail to allow us to understand and respond to it.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee or decline to comply with your request if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests to know/access, delete, and correct within 45 days of your request. Occasionally it may take us longer than 45 days to respond, for instance if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you of the delay and may continue to update you regarding the progress of our response.

To make such a request, please visit our Privacy Center.

Notice to Nevada Residents

Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 603A allows Nevada residents to opt-out of the “sale” of certain types of personal information.

Notice to Residents of Connecticut, Virginia, and New Jersey

Certain U.S. states where Horizon users are located, including Connecticut, New Jersey, and Virginia, provide users with additional rights under their privacy laws. This section applies only to residents of those states (whose laws are in effect) and provides supplemental information regarding how we process personal information of such residents, and their privacy rights under applicable law. For purposes of this section “personal information” means “personal data” as such term is defined in the applicable state privacy law but does not include information exempted from the scope of such laws.
