As a California resident, you also have the right to designate an agent to exercise these rights on your behalf.

If you would like further information regarding your legal rights under applicable law or would like to exercise any of them, please contact us either through our email at info@ubeauty.com or via the Contact Us form available on our Site, or by writing us at: U Beauty, 4530 St. Johns Avenue, Suite 15 - #418, Jacksonville, FL 32210-3356.

Accessing and Deleting Your Personal Information

Right to request access to your personal information
California residents have the right to request that we disclose what categories of personal information that we collect, use, disclose or sell about you. You may also request the specific pieces of personal information that we have collected about you. However, we may withhold some information where the risk to you, your personal information, or our business is too great to disclose the information.

Right to request deletion of your personal information
You may also request that we delete any personal information that we have collected from/about you. However, we may retain personal information as authorized under applicable law, such as personal information required as necessary to provide our Services, protect our business and systems from fraudulent activity, to debug and identify errors that impair existing functionality, as necessary for us, or others, to exercise their free speech or other rights, comply with law enforcement requests pursuant to lawful process, for scientific or historical research, for our own internal purposes reasonably related to your relationship with us, or to comply with legal obligations. We need certain types of information so that we can provide our Services. If you ask us to delete it, you may no longer be able to access or use our Services.

How to exercise your access and deletion rights
California residents may exercise their California privacy rights by submitting your request to us either by contacting us either through our email at info@ubeauty.com or via the Contact Us form available on our Site, or by writing us at: U Beauty, 4530 St. Johns Avenue, Suite 15 - #418, Jacksonville, FL 32210-3356. You may not request access to your personal information more than twice in any twelve month period.

For security purposes, we may request additional information from you to verify your identity when you request to exercise your California privacy rights so we can reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected such personal information (or that person's authorized representative).

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to an additional 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and the extension period in writing. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response through your account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically as you so request. 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.

Sales of Personal Information
California residents may opt out of the "sale" of their personal information. We do not directly sell your Personal Information in the conventional sense (i.e., for money).  Like many companies, however, we utilize third-party services, and making Personal Information available to these third-parties may be considered a “sale” under the CCPA in some circumstances.

If you would like to request that we not “sell” your Personal Information, or if you would like further information regarding your legal rights under applicable law or would like to exercise any of them, please contact us either through our email at info@ubeauty.com or via the Contact Us form available on our Site, or by writing us at: U Beauty, 4530 St. Johns Avenue, Suite 15 - #418, Jacksonville, FL 32210-3356.  Please note, some transfers of your Personal Information may not be considered “sales” and certain exemptions may apply under the CCPA.

Non-Discrimination Rights
California residents have the right to not be discriminated against for exercising their rights as described in this section. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your CCPA rights.

Updates to the California Privacy Policy
This California Privacy Policy may be revised periodically and we will post any revised version of this California Privacy Policy on our website, which revisions will be effective immediately upon being posted, unless otherwise stated therein. We encourage you to refer back to it on a regular basis.  This California Privacy Policy is updated as of April 16, 2024.
