Subject to certain exceptions, the CCPA grants to California residents the rights to: be notified about the collection, use, disclosure, sale or sharing of their Personal Information; request access to, deletion of, or correction of their Personal Information; request to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of Personal Information (where such information is sold or shared); limit the use or disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information (as defined under CCPA); and to not be discriminated against for exercising such rights.

India Insures Agency does not sell your Personal Information.
If you wish to exercise your right to opt-out of India Insures Agency using your Personal Information for cross-contextual targeted advertising purposes (called “sharing” under the CCPA), you may do so by using the details in the “

HOW TO CONTACT US

” section or the appropriate withdrawal mechanism provided to you at or clicking on the “Do Not Share My Personal Information” link at the Platform.

You can request access to, correction of or deletion of your Personal Information by using the details in the “

HOW TO CONTACT US

” section.
If you request a deletion of your Personal Information, please note that India Insures Agency may still need to retain certain information for recordkeeping purposes, to complete any transactions that you began prior to requesting such deletion, to comply with applicable law, or for other purposes permitted by CCPA.
If you submit a request to exercise rights under CCPA, India Insures Agency will ask you to provide certain information to verify your identity.
This information will depend on your prior interactions with India Insures Agency and the sensitivity of Personal Information at issue.
If India Insures Agency denies your request, we will explain why.

You can designate an authorized agent to make a request under the CCPA on your behalf in certain circumstances. If you use an authorized agent for this purpose, India Insures Agency may ask you to verify your identity or that you provided the authorized agent signed permission to submit a request under the CCPA.
If you provide an authorized agent with power of attorney pursuant to Probate Code sections 4000 to 4465, it may not be necessary to perform these steps and India Insures Agency will respond to any request from such authorized agent in accordance with the CCPA.

If India Insures Agency collects Sensitive Personal Information, we limit our use of the Sensitive Personal Information to uses: (1) you have authorized, (2) that are required to fulfill your requests for goods or services, or (3) that are otherwise allowed by the CCPA or required by other laws or regulations.

International Compliance:

California's "Shine the Light" law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits users of the Platform that are California residents to request certain information regarding India Insures Agency’s disclosure of Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please contact India Insures Agency at the email address in Section 14 below.

Whenever India Insures Agency transfers Personal Information beyond the country of origin, we will do so in accordance with applicable laws.
For Personal Information originating in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom (“UK”) that is transferred to a India Insures Agency entity outside the EEA or UK that does not have an “adequate level of protection” as determined by the European Commission, it does so on the basis of multiple lawful measures, such as contracts that include the EU or UK standard contractual clauses, to provide appropriate safeguards for the Personal Information we transfer.
