4. COMPREHENSIVE CONSUMER PRIVACY RIGHTS
If you are a resident of a U.S. state that grants comprehensive consumer privacy rights (such as California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, etc.), you have specific statutory privileges regarding your data.
Summary of Rights:
1. Right to Know and Access: You have the right to request a disclosure of what Personal Information we have collected, used, disclosed, sold, or shared about you over the past 12 months, including the specific pieces of data, categories of sources, and business purposes.
2. Right to Request Deletion: You have the right to request that we delete Personal Information collected or maintained by us, subject to specific legal carve-outs (e.g., if the data is required to fulfill an active warranty, execute a return, complete a pending order transaction, or comply with legal holding requirements).
3. Right to Rectification / Correction: If you discover that any Personal Information we maintain about you is incorrect or incomplete, you have the right to request that we update and correct it.
4. Right to Opt-Out of Sale, Sharing, or Targeted Advertising: You have the right to direct us to stop selling or sharing your data for targeted or behavioral advertising.
5. Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information: You have the right to restrict our use of Sensitive Personal Information to purely necessary transactional operations. (Note: Sollen only uses sensitive data for secure log-ins, meaning this right is naturally restricted to its basic legal functionality).
6. Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not deny you services, charge you different prices, or provide a lower tier of service if you choose to exercise any of your statutory privacy rights.
5. SUBMITTING A PRIVACY REQUEST & VERIFICATION PROCESS
How to Submit a Request:
To exercise your Right to Know, Access, Delete, or Correct your data, please submit a verifiable request to our dedicated compliance team via email: sollensupport@sollenwatch.com.
Verification Mechanism:
To protect your sensitive financial and identity information, we must verify your identity before fulfilling any data access or deletion requests.
· Upon receipt of your email request, we will ask you to provide at least two to three pieces of identifying information that perfectly match data points stored within our secure system (e.g., verifying your billing address, order history ID, or matching the original account email address).
· If we cannot verify your identity to a reasonable degree of legal certainty, we reserve the right to deny the request to prevent malicious data harvesting.
Authorized Agents:
You may designate an authorized agent to submit a privacy request on your behalf. To do so, you must provide the agent with signed, written permission, and the agent must verify their own identity directly with us, or provide a valid Power of Attorney pursuant to probate laws.
Administrative Appeals (For VA, CO, CT, TX, and relevant jurisdictions):
If we deny your privacy request, you have the right to appeal our administrative decision. To initiate an appeal, reply directly to our denial email or contact us at sollensupport@sollenwatch.com within 60 days of the decision, stating clearly that you are invoking your statutory right to appeal. We will respond in writing within 45 days.
6. NOTICE OF FINANCIAL INCENTIVE / REWARDS SCHEMES
From time to time, we may offer special discount codes, coupons, or exclusive promotions (e.g., "10% off your first watch order") in exchange for your agreement to provide your email address or phone number for marketing subscription lists.
Under broad state privacy interpretations, these promotional initiatives may be classified as a Financial Incentive.
· Material Terms: By participating, you agree to receive recurring automated marketing emails or text messages from Sollen. You may opt out of these communications at any time by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link in our emails, or replying "STOP" to our texts.
· Valuation of Your Data: The financial value of your Personal Information (email/phone number) is directly tied to the unique operational margin of our promotional discount incentives, balanced against the procurement, data storage, and campaign distribution costs we incur to manage our automated consumer outreach systems.
· Voluntary Participation: Joining our subscriber list is completely voluntary. You can exit the program at any moment without penalty, and you will retain full access to our standard digital checkout features.
7. GLOBAL PRIVACY CONTROL (GPC) & BROWSER OPT-OUT SIGNALS
Our system architecture is designed to recognize and process automated user opt-out preferences, including the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal broadcast by modern browsers or privacy extensions. If our platform detects a valid GPC signal from your device, we will automatically interpret that session as a directive to opt-out of the "sharing" or use of data for cross-context behavioral advertising for that specific browser environment.
8. CALIFORNIA "SHINE THE LIGHT" LAW
Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1798.83, residents of California who provide personal data in obtaining products for personal, family, or household use are legally entitled to request and obtain from us, once per calendar year, a list detailing what customer information we shared, if any, with external business entities for their own direct marketing purposes. To submit this specific request, please email sollensupport@sollenwatch.com with "California Shine the Light Request" explicitly written in the subject line.
