Sensitive Personal Information Categories Chart

 Sensitive personal information (“SPI”) is a subtype of personal information consisting of the specific information categories listed in the chart below. Importantly, the CCPA only treats this information as SPI when we collect or use it to infer characteristics about a consumer. Of the above categories of Personal Information, the following are categories of SPI FrankCrum may collect from or about consumers:

Categories of Sensitive Personal Information Collected or Processed

We process SPI only for the limited purposes permitted under Civil Code §1798.121(a):

  • To perform the Services reasonably expected by an average Consumer who requests those Services.
  • Right to Know and Data Portability Requests. You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information (the "right to know"), including the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you (a "data portability request"). Our response will cover the 12-month period preceding the request, although we will honor requests to cover longer periods that do not extend past January 1, 2022, unless doing so would be impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You may exercise your right to know twice in any 12-month period. Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see How to Exercise Your Rights), we will disclose to you:
    • The categories of:
      • personal information we collected about you; and
      • sources from which we collected your personal information.
    • The business or commercial purpose for collecting your personal information and, if applicable, selling or sharing your personal information.
    • If applicable, the categories of persons, including third parties, to whom we disclosed your personal information, including separate disclosures identifying the categories of your personal information that we:
      • disclosed for a business purpose to each category of persons; and
      • sold or shared to each category of third parties.
    • When your right to know submission includes a data portability request, a copy of your personal information, subject to any permitted redactions.
  • Right to Delete and Right to Correct. You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions and limitations (the "right to delete"). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity, we will delete your personal information from our systems unless an exception allows us to retain it. We will also notify our service providers, contractors, and other recipients to take appropriate action. You also have the right to request correction of personal information we maintain about you that you believe is inaccurate (the "right to correct"). We may require you to provide documentation, if needed, to confirm your identity and support your claim that the information is inaccurate. Unless an exception applies, we will correct personal information that our review determines is inaccurate and notify our service providers to take appropriate action.
  • Right to Limit Sensitive Personal Information Use and Disclosure to Permitted SPI Purposes. You have a right to ask businesses that use or disclose your SPI to limit those actions to just the CCPA's Permitted SPI Purposes listed above (the "right to limit"). As we do not use or disclose SPI beyond the CCPA's Permitted SPI Purposes, we do not currently provide this consumer right.
  • Personal Information Sales or Sharing Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights. You have the right to request that businesses stop selling or sharing your personal information at any time (the "right to opt-out"), including through a user-enabled opt-out preference signal under on our website. Similarly, the CCPA prohibits businesses from selling or sharing the personal information of consumers it knows are under 16 years old without first obtaining consent from consumers who are between 13 and 15 years old or the consumer's parent or guardian for consumers under age 13 (the "right to opt-in").
  • ADMT Rights. ADMTs are technologies that process personal information and use computation to execute a decision and either replace or substantially replace human decision-making, resulting in decisions made without human involvement. Decisions are significant when they result in the provision or denial of financial or lending services, housing, education enrollment or opportunities, employment or independent contracting opportunities or compensation, or healthcare services. Advertising is not a significant decision. We do not currently use ADMT to make significant decisions about consumers, so we do not provide ADMT access, opt-out, or appeal rights.
  • Right to non-discrimination. You have the right not to be discriminated against or retaliated against for exercising any of your privacy rights under the CCPA.
  • The right to designate an authorized agent to submit one of the above requests on your behalf. See below how you can designate an authorized agent within Section: Verification Process and Authorized Agents.
    • To detect security incidents that compromise the availability, authenticity, integrity, and confidentiality of stored or transmitted personal information.
    • To resist malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal actions directed at the business and to prosecute those responsible for those actions.
    • To ensure the physical safety of natural persons.
    • For short-term, transient use.
    • To perform Services on behalf of FrankCrum.
    • To purposes that do not involve inferring characteristics about consumers.

Additional Categories or Other Purposes

We will not collect additional categories of personal information or use the personal information we collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes without providing you notice. If required by law, we will also seek your consent before using your personal information for a new or unrelated purpose.

We may collect, process, and disclose aggregated or deidentified information about our Worksite Employee for any purpose, without restriction. When we collect, process, or disclose this aggregated or deidentified information, we will maintain and use it in deidentified form and will not attempt to reidentify the information, except to determine whether our deidentification processes satisfies any applicable legal requirements.

California Residents: Your Rights Under CCPA

If you are a California resident, the CCPA grants you the following rights regarding your personal information:

Notice of Rights of California Residents to Limit the Use of Your Sensitive Personal Information

We do not use or disclose your SPI for purposes that give rise to a right to limit the use and disclosure of your SPI under CCPA. Because we do not use SPI for purposes that trigger the right to limit under California law, a “Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information” link is not applicable currently. If our practices change, we will provide that link and update this Policy.

Do We Sell Your Information?

We do not and will not sell or share your Personal Information in exchange for monetary consideration. However, we may sell or share some of your information to third parties for other valuable consideration, as noted in the table above.

We may sell or share your Personal Information for the following business or commercial purposes:

    • Marketing Purposes
    • Data Analytics Purposes

Other than these exceptions, we do not and will not disclose your Personal Information to any third party in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration or share your Personal Information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise your rights described above, please submit a verifiable request to us by either:

Verification Process and Authorized Agents

If you are a California resident, you can authorize someone else as an authorized agent who can submit a request on your behalf. To do so, you must either:

  • execute a valid, verifiable, and notarized power of attorney; or  
  • provide other written, signed authorizations that we can then verify. When we receive a request submitted on your behalf by an authorized agent who does not have a power of attorney, that person will be asked to provide written proof that they have your permission to act on your behalf, and we will also contact you and ask you for information to verify your own identity directly with us and not through your authorized agent. We may deny a request from an authorized agent if the agent does not provide your signed permission demonstrating that you have authorized them to act on your behalf.  

Responding to Your Requests to Know, Delete, or Correct

We will confirm receipt of your request within ten business days. If you do not receive confirmation within the ten-day timeframe, please reach out to privacy@frankcrum.com. We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response to your verified email address. Our substantive response will tell you whether we have complied with your request. If we cannot comply with your request in whole or in part, we will explain the reason, subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions. Applicable law may allow or require us to refuse to provide you with access to some or all the personal information that we hold about you, or we may have destroyed, deleted, or made your personal information anonymous in compliance with our record retention policies and obligations.

Any disclosures we provide will cover information for the 12-month period preceding the request receipt date. We will consider requests to provide longer disclosure periods that do not extend past January 1, 2022, unless providing a longer timeframe would be impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

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 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.

Response and Timing on Rights to Opt-Out

In response to your request to opt-out, we will process your request, as soon as feasibly possible, but no later than 15 business days from the date we receive the request. We will only use personal information provided from your request to comply with the request.

We will also notify our service providers, contractors, and certain other downstream recipients of your request to opt-out and instruct them to both:

  • Comply with your request.
  • Forward the request to their own downstream recipients, if applicable.

We may deny opt-out requests if we have a good-faith, reasonable, and documented belief that the request is fraudulent and will clearly explain our denial decision to the requestor.

You can confirm that we processed your request to opt-out by going to our website and clicking where we will have a toggle button showing what Cookies are active. However, you may change your mind and opt back in at any time by re-toggling your .

Other California Privacy Rights

The California Civil Code permits California residents with whom we have an established business relationship to request that we provide you with a list of certain categories of personal information that we have disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes during the preceding calendar year. To make such a request, please send an email to privacy@frankcrum.com or write to us at the address listed below. Please mention that you are making a “California Shine the Light” inquiry.

Notice of Right to Opt-Out of the Selling and Sharing of Your Information

Depending on the state where you reside, you may have the right to tell us not to sell or share your Personal Information. You have the full and free right to opt-out of our disclosure of your Personal Information to any third parties where the disclosure constitutes “selling” or “sharing” as defined by specific state laws.

You may exercise your right to opt-out without fear of discrimination for doing so. To opt-out of our selling and sharing of your information, meaning we will not disclose your information to third parties for any monetary or other valuable consideration, you can do any of the following: Click Your Privacy Choices to be taken to an online opt-out submission form.

  • You can use a Global Privacy Controls (GPC) signal. FrankCrum will process opt-out preferences from GPC signals, which are in formats commonly used and recognized by businesses, such as an HTTP field header, as requests to opt-out of sale or sharing. The GPC signal opt-out will only apply to the browser you are using on your device; it will not apply to other browsers and/or devices to which GPCs are not activated or to offline sales
  • If you are unable to submit an opt-out through any of the above methods, please call our toll-free privacy line at 1-800-393-0815, Option 21. for assistance and a representative will assist in meeting your needs.

You can have an authorized agent submit a request on your behalf. To submit an opt-out through use of an authorized agent, you must provide that agent with written permission signed by you to submit an opt-out on your behalf, except when using an opt-out preference signal.

A request to opt-out need not be a verifiable consumer request. However, we may deny a request to opt-out if we have good faith, reasonable, and documented belief that a request to opt-out is fraudulent. If we deny your request to opt-out, we shall inform you of our decision not to comply and provide an explanation as to why we believe the request is fraudulent.

Use of Cookies, Pixels, and Other Tracking Technologies

Our website may store or retrieve information on your browser, mostly in the form of cookies. A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that a website – when visited by a user – places on the user’s device to remember information about the user, such as the user’s language preference or login information. This type of cookie is set by us and is referred to as a “first-party cookies.” Our website uses first-party cookies primarily to make the website work as you expect it to. For example, we use the information we collect through first-party cookies to allow you to navigate between pages efficiently, analyze how well our website is performing, and understand the content that you spent most of your time reviewing. We use first party cookies for website functionality and measurement, and we use third-party cookies and tracking technologies (such as advertising or analytics pixels) to support interest based and cross context behavioral advertising including advertising platforms, analytics providers, and retargeting partners. We also incorporate cookies and similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, and web beacons, from outside our website’s domain (“third-party cookies”). Third-party cookies gather information to enable our vendors to provide a range of services to us, including targeted advertising and measuring the success of our advertising campaigns.

Cross‑context behavioral advertising means targeted advertising based on personal information obtained across businesses, websites, applications, or services with which the consumer interacts. Below is a detailed list of the categories of first and third-party cookies we use on our website. You can prevent the collection of data by non-essential performance, functionality, and marketing cookies by clicking on our which controls the collection of preferences on our website.

We make use of cookies under the following circumstances and for the following reasons:

  • Essential Cookies

  • Non-Essential Cookies

Information on Some of the Cookies in Use on our Site

For information on some of the cookies we use on our site and apps, please review the policies from some of our vendors:

Cookie Management

You can control and manage cookies associated with your browser. If you are interested in controlling and managing cookies from your browser including any set by our website, please refer to http://www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/index.html for information on different ways to configure your browser’s cookie settings.

If you want to clear all cookies left behind by the websites you have visited, here are links where you can download three third party programs that clean out tracking cookies.

You may delete cookies from your web browser at any time or block cookies on your equipment, but this may affect the functioning of or even blocking the website. You can prevent saving cookies (disable and delete them) by changing your browser settings accordingly at any time. It is possible that some functions will not be available on our website when use of cookies is deactivated. Check the settings of your browser. Below you can find some guidance:

Do Not Track (DNT) is a privacy preference that users can set if they do not want web services to collect information about their online activity. We do not respond to DNT signals (except for Global Privacy Controls as explained above in the section of this policy on “Opt-Out Preference Signals”).

You can adjust your advertising preferences on mobile devices through your device settings. Below you can find some guidance based on your type of mobile device:

DAA

Many advertising companies that collect information for interest-based advertising are members of the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) which maintains self-regulatory programs along with websites where people can opt out of interest-based advertising from their members. To opt-out of website interest-based advertising visit the DAA’s opt-out portal available at http://optout.aboutads.info/. To opt-out data collection for interest-based advertising across mobile applications by participating companies, download the DAA’s AppChoices mobile application opt-out offering found here: https://youradchoices.com/appchoices.

Non-Participant Opt-Out Options

    • Some of our vendors do not participate in the DAA self-regulatory program for online behavioral advertising or have developed their own processes for allowing consumers to opt-out: https://branch.app.link/optout
    • Some devices and apps do not have access to web-based browser cookie opt-outs. To learn more about the advertising opt-outs provided by your mobile device’s operating system (like iOS and Android) or the device manufacture, click here.

Email Tracking Notice

When you receive an email from us, we may use tracking technologies to gather certain information about your interaction with the email. Specifically, we may collect whether you open the email; the time and date when you open it; and the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the device used to open the email.

We use this information to help us understand how our emails are received and used, so we can improve content, deliverability, and relevance. This tracking is done automatically using a small, often invisible image (sometimes called a “tracking pixel” or “pixel”) embedded in the email or similar methods.

If you prefer not to have this information tracked, you may disable automatic image loading in your email client or use settings/tools that block tracking pixels. Additionally, unsubscribing from our email list will stop further emails (and thus tracking) from us.

Opt-Out Preference Signals

Opt-out preference signals provide consumers with a simple and easy-to-use method by which to exercise the right to opt-out of the selling and sharing of their information. Global Privacy Controls (“GPC”) or Universal Opt-Out Mechanism (“UOOM”) are user-enabled opt-out preference signals which can communicate a user’s “Do Not Sell or Share” request on behalf of the person or device. We will process opt-out preferences from GPC and UOOM signals which are in formats commonly used and recognized by businesses, such as an HTTP field header. We will treat a consumer’s use of GPCs or UOOMs as a valid request to opt-out of the selling and sharing of information for that browser. We currently do not connect browser use to consumers and, as such, you will need to use GPCs or UOOMs on all browsers in which you access our website and use our opt-out form to opt-out of offline sales.

Do Not Track (DNT) is a privacy preference that users can set if they do not want web services to collect information about their online activity. We do not respond to DNT signals or other mechanisms (except for GPCs and UOOMs) that provide a choice regarding the collection of Personal Information about activities over time and across different websites or online services. We encourage users who have DNTs to use GPCs or UOOMs.

Depending on your state of residence, you may have the right to opt out of targeted advertising and selling of your data. You may submit a request to exercise this right by clicking Your Privacy Choices or emailing privacy@frankcrum.com.

    • Deletion. You may request that we delete personal information about you that we maintain, subject to certain exceptions under applicable law.
    • Opt-Out of Using Personal Information for Targeted Advertising, Profiling, and Sales. You may request that we do not use your personal information for these purposes.

How We Retain Your Personal Information

We maintain retention schedules aligned to legal, regulatory, tax, and contractual requirements and delete or de‑identify data when no longer needed. We keep the categories of personal information described in this Policy for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described or for as otherwise legally permitted or required, such as maintaining the Services, operating our organization, complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes, and for safety, security, and fraud prevention. This means that we consider our legal and business obligations, potential risks of harm, and nature of the information when deciding how long to retain personal information. At the end of the retention period, personal information will be deleted, destroyed, or deidentified. We align retention to data minimization and reasonable expectations for each purpose, and we honor opt‑outs for at least 12 months before seeking reauthorization.

Data Minimization

We limit our collection, use, and retention of personal information to what is reasonably necessary and proportionate for the purposes described in this Policy or disclosed to you at the time of collection.

External Links

Our website contains links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites. To help ensure the protection of your privacy, we recommend that you review the Policy of any website you visit via a link from our website. If you access our website through a mobile device, your device or browser may prompt you to grant permission for features such as location, push notifications, or camera access. You can revoke these permissions at any time through your device settings.

Client Passwords

The personal information record created MyFrankCrum can only be accessed with the unique password associated with that record. To protect the integrity of the information contained in this record, you should not disclose or otherwise reveal your password to third parties.

Automated Decision‑Making, Profiling, and AI

We do not use automated decision‑making systems, including machine learning or AI tools to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you. This includes decisions relating to eligibility for, or access to, credit, employment, housing, financial services, essential or federally regulated services, or other outcomes that could meaningfully affect your rights or opportunities. If any automated output could influence how we present content or offer to you on the website, those outputs operate within pre‑defined parameters and are either reviewed or overseen by people or constrained so they do not produce legal or similarly significant effects.

We do not engage in profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects. If we ever begin using profiling in a way that implicates additional rights (for example, under the laws of states that provide opt‑out rights for certain profiling), we will update this Policy and provide any required opt‑out mechanisms.

If we materially change how we use automated decision‑making, profiling, or AI—including if future law requires additional disclosures, access, appeal, or opt‑out rights for such processing—we will update this Policy and provide any required tools, disclosures, and instructions at or before the time those changes take effect.

Compliance With Law and Safety

We may disclose specific personal and/or SPI based on a good faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to comply with or conform to the law or that such disclosure is necessary to protect our employees or the public.

How We Protect Your Personal Information

We use commercially reasonable administrative, physical, and technical measures designed to protect your personal information from accidental loss or destruction and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. However, no website, mobile application, system, electronic storage, or online service is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to, through use, or in connection with the Services. Email, texts, and chats sent to or from the Services may not be secure, and you should carefully decide what information you send to us via such communications channels. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. The safety and security of your information also depend on you. You are responsible for taking steps to protect your personal information against unauthorized use, disclosure, and access.
