from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request
(see Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights), we will delete (and direct our service providers to
delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.
We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:
• Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you
requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or
otherwise perform our contract with you.
• Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive,
fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
• Debug products to
identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
• Exercise free speech, ensure the
right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by
law.
• Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et.
seq.).
• Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public
interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely
render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed
consent.
• Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your
relationship with us.
• Comply with a legal obligation.
• Make other internal and lawful uses of that
information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.
Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights
To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer
request to us by either:
• Calling us at 800-766-3666.
• Visiting www.frenchfloristfranchise.com.
• Emailing us at franchise@frenchflorist.com
• Only you, or a person
registered with the California Secretary of State 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 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 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.
Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. However, we do consider
requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal
information associated with that specific account.
We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or
authority to make the request.

Account
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 (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
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.
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 useable 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.
Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights
If you are 16 years of age or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell your personal information at any
time (the “right to opt-out”). We do not sell the personal information of consumers we actually know are less than
16 years of age, unless we receive affirmative authorization (the “right to opt-in”) from either the consumer who is
between 13 and 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years of age. Consumers who
opt-in to personal information sales may opt-out of future sales at any time.
To exercise the right to opt-out, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us by emailing a
request to franchise@frenchflorist.com with the subject line “Do Not Sell My Personal Information”.
Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to reauthorize personal
information sales. However, you may change your mind and opt back in to personal information sales at any time by
emailing franchise@frenchflorist.com with the subject line “Opt-In
Instructions”.
You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights. We will only use personal information
provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request.
Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will
not:
• Deny you goods or services.
• Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through
granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
• Provide you a different level or quality of
goods or services.
• Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a
different level or quality of goods or services.
However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices,
rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal
information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a
financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.
