Your CCPA/CPRA rights

As a California resident, you have the right to:

• Right to Know (§ 1798.100, .110, .115) — request what Personal Information we collect, use, disclose, or sell
• Right to Delete (§ 1798.105) — request deletion of your Personal Information
• Right to Correct (§ 1798.106) — request correction of inaccurate Personal Information
• Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing (§ 1798.120) — direct us not to sell or share your Personal Information
• Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information (§ 1798.121) — limit our use of Sensitive Personal Information to disclosed purposes
• Right to Non-Discrimination (§ 1798.125) — we will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights
• Right to Data Portability (§ 1798.130(a)(2)) — receive Personal Information in a readily usable format

To exercise the rights to know, delete, correct or port, email thesoulxband@gmail.com. Those are verifiable consumer requests, so we will verify your identity before acting (CCPA § 1798.130(a)(2)), and we will respond within 45 days (extendable to 90 with notice, § 1798.130(a)(2)(B)).

To opt out of the sale or sharing of your Personal Information, use the "Do Not Sell or Share" and "Manage Preferences" links in the website footer. To limit our use of Sensitive Personal Information, email thesoulxband@gmail.com. Neither an opt-out nor a request to limit is a verifiable consumer request (CPPA Reg. § 7060(b)): we will act on both without asking you to verify your identity or to create an account.

You may also designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.135(c)).
