Accessing Or Correcting Your Information

We want to make sure that your personal information is accurate and up to date. You can update your details at any time by contacting hello@shoplessmess.com.

You have the right to request a copy of the information that we hold about you. If you would like a copy, please contact us at hello@shoplessmess.com. For security, and to protect your privacy, we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections.

Your Rights under the CCPA:

For purposes of this section, the term “Personal Information” means any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual or household, including without limitation any information that is subject to applicable data protection laws, as defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act, Cal. Civ. Code §§ 1798.100 et. seq., as amended (“CCPA”).

Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights: You have the right, subject to certain exceptions defined in the CCPA and other applicable laws and regulations, to request that companies disclose certain information to you about their collection and use of your Personal Information over the past twelve (12) months. This right of access includes information about:

• The categories of Personal Information we collected about you.
• The categories of sources for the Personal Information we collected about you.
• Our business or commercial purpose for collecting that Personal Information.
• The categories of third parties with whom we share that Personal Information.
• The categories of Personal Information that each recipient received.
• The specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you.

Deletion Request Rights: You have the right, subject to certain exceptions defined in the CCPA and other applicable laws and regulations, to request that a company delete any of your Personal Information that it has collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. 

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 contacting us at hello@shoplessmess.com.

The verifiable consumer request must:

• Provide sufficient information that allows us to verify, to a reasonable degree of certainty, that you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information.  This may include requesting that you provide us with at least two or more pieces of Personal Information to match against Personal Information about you that we may or may not maintain and which we have determined to be reliable for the purpose of verification.
• 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. We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a twelve (12)-month period.

Do Not Sell Rights: You have the right, subject to certain exceptions defined in the CCPA and other applicable laws and regulations, to request that companies stop selling your personal information and refrain from doing so in the future.  We may deny a Do Not Sell request if we have a good-faith, reasonable, and documented belief that the request is fraudulent. To exercise your Do Not Sell request, please contact us at info@akftv.com.

Authorized Agent: Only you, or a person you have designated in writing as your authorized agent, or who is registered with the California Secretary of State to act on your behalf, or to whom you have provided power of attorney pursuant to California Probate Code sections 4000 to 4465, (“Authorized Agent”), 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.

If you wish to have an Authorized Agent make a verifiable consumer request on your behalf, they will need to provide us with sufficient written proof that you have designated them as your Authorized Agent and we will still require you to provide sufficient information to allow us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information. 

‌Non-Discrimination: You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising any of your CCPA rights.  

Your Rights under the California “Shine the Light” Law

Websites operated by Less Mess currently do not respond to “do not track” signals or similar mechanisms.  

If you are a California resident, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits you to request a list of all third parties to which we, during the immediately preceding calendar year, have disclosed certain personal information for direct marketing purposes. We do not share personal information about you with any third parties for their own marketing purposes. We are only required to respond to such a request once during any calendar year. To make such a request you should send a letter to the address listed below. Please be aware that not all information sharing is covered by the California privacy rights requirements and only information sharing that is covered will be included in our response.
