We will not retain personal information for longer than is reasonably necessary for the purposes disclosed above.

We store data, including logs, user information and camera footage for a period of time in line with current security/disaster recovery best practices.

8. Your Privacy Rights

We are happy to support privacy rights as required in various states.  Below you may learn more about your privacy rights, how to exercise them, and what you may expect from that process.

Your Rights

  1. Right to know and access personal information:  You have the right to request that we disclose: (1) the categories of personal information we have collected about you; (2) the sources from which we collected the personal information; (3) the business or commercial purpose for the collection, selling or sharing of personal information; (4) the categories of third parties to whom we disclose personal information; (5) the categories of personal information that we sold or disclosed for a business purpose; and (6) the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you. 
  2. Right to opt-out:  You have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, the use of your personal information for targeted advertising, and the use of your personal information for profiling.  The link to our “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” page is shown in the footer of the website.  If you use an opt-out preference signal following the global privacy control (GPC) specification, we will process your opt-out preference in a frictionless manner at the device level using our cookie compliance tool.  You can set your browser to send these signals, but the specific settings that need to be configured depend on the specific browser you use.  Some browsers may require a browser extension.  To learn more about the GPC and browsers which support it, visit the global privacy control website (https://globalprivacycontrol.org/). 

If you have questions about opting out or need a different way to opt-out, please contact us through our online form, at [email protected], or at 1-276-645-8000.

  1. Right to correct:  If you find that we have inaccurate personal information about you, you have the right to request that we correct that inaccurate personal information, considering the nature of the personal information and the purposes of processing the personal information. 
  2. Right to delete:  You have the right to request that we delete your personal information.  There are some exceptions to this right. 
  3. Right of data portability: You have the right to obtain a copy of your personal data in a portable and readily usable format that allows you to transmit the data to another controller without impediment.  There are some limits to this right.
  4. Right to non-discrimination or retaliation:  We will not discriminate or retaliate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

Exercising Your Rights

Self-service options exist for several of these rights.  If you have a registered account, you may log in to our website and click on your name in the upper right of the screen to view, update, and/or delete your personal information.  If you would like to change your preferences so that we stop sending you marketing messages, simply click the “unsubscribe” link on any marketing message we send.  

If you want or need a different way to exercise your privacy rights or have questions or concerns about our Policy and information practices, please contact us through our online contact form, by emailing [email protected], or by calling 1-276-645-8000.  To verify your request, you may need to provide proof of identity, such as non-personal information about your account.  You may also designate an authorized agent to make a request.  The agent will follow the same procedures described above.  If you use an authorized agent, we may require proof that the agent acts on your behalf. 

If we decline your request, partially or in full, you may appeal the decision to our senior management.  Simply follow the same process for submitting a request and include “appeal” in the title or other part of the request.  If that appeal is denied, you may be able to contact your attorney general’s office, depending on the state in which you reside, to submit a complaint.

Strongwell does not use or disclose sensitive personal information for any purposes that would require a user to exercise a right to limit according to California law.
