You have the right to request, in accordance with applicable law, that We disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your Personal Information over the past twelve (12) months. Please note that the CCPA limits our ability to provide you with the requested information only after We receive a verifiable consumer request from you or a person registered with the Secretary of State that is authorized by you to act on your behalf. Once We receive a verifiable consumer request, We will disclose to you:

• The categories of Personal Information We collected about you
• The categories of sources for the Personal Information We collected about you
• Our business or commercial purpose for collecting that Personal Information
• The categories of third parties with whom We share that Personal Information
• The specific pieces of Personal Information We collected about you (also called a data portability request)

Please note that the CCPA does not require Us to retain any Personal Information collected for a single, one-time transaction, if that Personal Information is not sold or retained by Us. It also does not require Us to reidentify or otherwise link information that is not maintained in a manner that would be considered Personal Information.

You may request, in accordance with applicable law, that Asteya delete the Personal Information that We collected about you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once We receive a verifiable consumer request, We will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your Personal Information from our records, unless an exception applies in support of our business need to retain some or all of your Personal Information.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the Personal Information is necessary for Us or our service provider(s) to:

• Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
• Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
• Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
• Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.).
• Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the Personal Information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
• 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 Personal Information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

To access, seek data portability, or request that We delete your Personal Information, please submit a verifiable consumer request to Us by either:

• Calling Us at + 1 954-246-3509
• Emailing Us at support@asteya.world

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a twelve (12) month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

• Provide sufficient information that allows Us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom We collected Personal Information or an authorized representative
• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows Us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it

After We receive a verifiable consumer request from you, We will take steps to determine whether the request being made is a verifiable consumer request. Given the nature of the Personal Information requested, We will require authentication of your identity. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if We cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you.

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with Us.

We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

We will make every effort to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If We require more time, We will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

Any disclosures We provide will only cover the twelve (12) month period preceding our receipt of your verifiable consumer request. The response We provide will also explain the reason(s) 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 to 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 unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If We determine that the request warrants a fee, We will tell you why We made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Asteya does not sell Personal Information.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights. We will not:

• Deny you goods or services
