The categories of third parties with whom Foundation Source has shared their Personal Information;

The specific pieces of Personal Information Foundation Source has collected about them.
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.

Under California’s Privacy Legislation, California Residents also have the right to:

Request that Foundation Source delete their Personal Information and to cause Foundation Source to direct its service providers to do the same; and
View and make correction to the Personal Information we hold, and
Limit the sensitive Personal Information we collect; and
Access the Personal Information we collect and choose to opt-out from this collection; and
Request that we provide you a copy of the Personal Information we have on you; and
Request that we disclose what Personal Information is disclosed for a business purpose, or sold or shared, and to whom.

Please note that in regard to the right of “data deletion,” there are a number of exceptions, however, that include, without limitation, when the Personal Information is retained by Foundation Source or a third party to:

Complete transactions with the California Resident, including to provide a good or service requested by the California Resident, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with the California Resident, or otherwise perform our contract with the California Resident;

Category	Types of Information Collected from California Residents:	Shared With (Service Providers, Contractors, and Third Parties)

If Foundation Source requires more time, it will inform the requesting California Resident of the reason and extension period in writing.

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

To exercise their rights under California’s Privacy Legislation, California Residents can submit a request by completing and submitting this form. Alternately, California Residents can contact us at . If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and complete your request. This is a security measure to ensure that Personal Information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information related to your request to enable us to process your request more efficiently.

Only you, or a person registered with the Secretary of State of your applicable state that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information.

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 collected Personal Information or an authorized representative.
Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request. We cannot respond to 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.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. You are entitled to request that we provide information from beyond the twelve-month period, but we will not be required to provide such information if providing such information proves impossible, would involve disproportionate effort, or is otherwise permitted by California’s Privacy Legislation. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.

Note that, depending on your use of the Website, not all of the categories or examples of Personal Information that we collect, as provided above, may apply to you.

Additionally, please note we may need to retain certain information for record keeping purposes, and there may also be residual information that will remain within our databases and other records, which will not be removed from such locations. Additionally, there may be circumstances in which we are not legally required to comply with your request because of the laws in your jurisdiction or because of exemptions provided in data protection legislation.
