1. NOTICE AT COLLECTION; COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We collect two types of information: Personal Information and Other Information.

Personal Information is any information:

• that identifies or can be used to identify you;
• that relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked (directly or indirectly) with you;
• that can be used to authenticate you or provide access to an account through this Site;
• that relates to you and that might be sensitive.

The table below and additional paragraphs immediately following the table are a summary of the categories of personal information we have collected over at least the last 12 months, the purposes for collection and use of that personal information, and how long we keep each category of personal information. If you would like to opt-out of the sale or sharing of any of the information as described below, click “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information”.

Additional Uses. We may also use all of the categories of Personal Information noted above as we believe necessary:
(1) if we determine a policy violation has occurred, to enforce our rights, or to enforce agreements;
(2) if we believe such processing is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action regarding the rights and property of ours or our affiliates;
(3) to enforce our rights or protect against unauthorized access to our systems or other inappropriate use of our services, products, or other services;
(4) to comply with laws, regulations, court orders and subpoenas or similar requests for information by authorities;
(5) to protect your safety and the safety of others;
(6) to perform audits;
(7) to contact you about Site or policy updates;
(8) for research and analytics, including to identify usage trends, and to improve and update our products and services; and
(9) to assist us in fraud prevention or investigation, all on the basis of our legitimate interest in the continuation of our commercial activities and the protection of our rights.

Aggregate or De-identified Information. We may collect, use and share information that does not identify you (including information that has been aggregated or de-identified) except as prohibited by applicable law. We will maintain and use de-identified information in de-identified form and will not attempt to reidentify the information, except to make sure the information is truly de-identified.

Retention. We will retain your Personal Information for as long as is needed to carry out the purposes we’ve described, or as otherwise required by law. The criteria used to determine the applicable retention period for your Personal Information includes the length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you as a consumer and whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject that requires us to retain your Personal Information.

Where we have no continuing purpose to process your Personal Information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your Personal Information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your Personal Information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

4. YOUR CHOICES REGARDING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

A. Your U.S. State Privacy Rights

You have certain rights with respect to Personal Information under certain U.S. state privacy laws. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), these rights have been extended to Personal Information collected, used, and shared between businesses (B2B), however, these rights have not been extended in any other state. As a result, these rights are limited to consumers and not applicable to individuals in their capacity as employees of businesses that are exchanging personal information between one another. If you are in Europe, please review the section titled “Your European Privacy Rights” below. For purposes of this subsection, the terms “consumer”, “Personal Information”, “business purpose”, “third party”, “sell”, and “share” have the meanings ascribed to them respectively in the applicable state law. To the extent provided for under the applicable laws, you may have the right to:

• Access and Disclosure. You can request, up to two times every 12 months, that we disclose to you the categories of Personal Information we collected about you, the categories of sources from which we collected the Personal Information, the categories of Personal Information we sold or disclosed, the business or commercial purposes for collecting, selling, or sharing your Personal Information, the categories of third parties with whom we shared the Personal Information, and the specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you. You also have the right to request a portable copy of your Personal Information.

• Correction and Deletion. You can request that Legend correct or delete Personal Information that we have about you, subject to certain exceptions allowed under applicable law.

• Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information (Opt-out of Targeted Advertising). Under certain U.S. State Privacy Laws, you may be able to request that we not sell, or share for targeted behavioral advertising, your Personal Information. We may sell, share, and use for targeted advertising the following categories of Personal Information to companies that provide marketing and advertising services to us, as well as advertisers that place advertisements on the Site: Demographic Information, Device, Internet, and Network Activity Information and Online Identifiers, General Location Information, and Inferences. You can request that we not sell or share your Personal Information by clicking Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information on the Site or by sending an email to [email protected] with your request. Please note that any opt-outs through these tools are specific to the device and browser you are using, so you should opt-out for each web browser and on each device you use. Your opt-out preferences will be deleted any time you clear your web browser’s cookie cache.

• Opt-out Preference Signals/Global Privacy Control. You have the right to submit a request to opt-out of the selling and sharing of personal information through an opt-out preference signal. If you use an opt-out preference signal we will apply the opt-out to the device or browser which sends the opt-out preference signal and to any consumer profile associated with that browser or device, including pseudonymous profiles. You can use an opt-out preference signal by downloading a supported browser or extension. If known, we will also treat the opt-out preference signal as a valid request to opt-out of sale/sharing for the user. Some browsers allow you to send a Do Not Track signal, an older request to block tracking of users by third parties. We may not honor these older signals.

• Sensitive Personal Information. We do not collect, use, or disclose Sensitive Personal Information of consumers.

• No Financial Incentives. We do not offer any programs that would be considered a “financial incentive” under U.S. state privacy laws.

• How to Submit a Request. You may exercise these rights by clicking here or emailing us at [email protected]. Please note that we may deny certain requests, or fulfill a request only in part, based on our legal rights and obligations. For example, we may retain Personal Information as permitted by law, such as for tax or other record keeping purposes, to maintain an active account, and to process transactions and facilitate customer requests.

• How We Verify Your Identity. Whether you submit a request directly on your own behalf, or through an authorized agent, we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity prior to responding to your requests. For example, we may utilize a verification provider to assist with verifying your identity. The verification steps may vary depending on the sensitivity of the Personal Information.
  
  In response to verified requests to access, disclose, correct, and delete, we will confirm receipt of this request within 10 business days of receipt of the request where required by law.
  
  In response to verified requests for access and disclosure or a portable copy of your Personal Information, we will disclose and deliver the required information to you free of charge within 45 days after receiving the verifiable consumer request. We may extend this time period to deliver information once by an additional 45 days when reasonably necessary. We will provide notice of the extension within the first 45-day period.
  
  Following verification of your request to delete, we may require you to separately confirm that you want your Personal Information to be deleted. We will delete the information within 45 days of receiving a verifiable consumer request (subject to certain exceptions). We may extend this time period once by an additional 45 days when reasonably necessary. We will provide notice of the extension within the first 45-day period.
  
  Following verification of your request to correct, we may require you to provide documentation, if necessary, to rebut our own documentation that the Personal Information is accurate. If we determine, based on the totality of the circumstances, that the information is not accurate, we will respond to the request by correcting the information, deleting the information (if deletion of the information does not negatively impact you), or providing you with the name of the source from which we have received the alleged inaccurate information (if we are not the source). We will correct the information within 45 days of receiving a verifiable consumer request. We may extend this time period once by an additional 45 days when reasonably necessary. We will provide notice of the extension within the first 45-day period.

• Authorized Agent. You can designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf. However, for requests to know, delete, and correct we will require written proof of the agent’s permission to do so and we will need to verify your identity directly. If you would like to designate an authorized agent to submit a request to know, delete, or correct Personal Information on your behalf, please email us at [email protected] to verify your identity and provide written proof of permission. Once verified, your authorized agent may act on your behalf. When submitting the request, please ensure the authorized agent identifies himself/herself/themselves as an authorized agent.

• Appeals. You may have a right to appeal decisions concerning your ability to exercise your consumer rights. Please contact us at [email protected] to request an appeal concerning decisions on your consumer request.

• No Discrimination. Legend will not discriminate against you because you made any of these requests. We may deny certain requests, or fulfill a request only in part, based on our legal rights and obligations. For example, we may retain Personal Information as permitted by law, such as for tax or other record keeping purposes, to maintain an active account, and to process transactions and facilitate customer requests.
