- Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
- Comply with a legal obligation.
- Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

- Deny you goods or services.

Exercising Your Rights – To exercise the access, disclosure, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable request to us by emailing at vee@viviscosycorner.com with the subject line “Attn: Exercising CCPA rights”. You may only make a verifiable request for access or disclosure twice within a 12-month period. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

For instructions on exercising sale opt-out rights, please email vee@viviscosycorner.com, and use the subject line “Attn: Exercising CCPA rights” for the email.
Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to reauthorize personal information sales. However, you may change your mind and opt back to personal information sales at any time by emailing vee@viviscosycorner.com. Consumers who opt into personal information sales may opt out of future sales at any time.
Timing – We will respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12 months preceding the verifiable request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.
