    Personal Information Sold or Shared:
    Under California law, “selling” means the transfer or disclosure of personal information to a third party in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration. Further, “sharing” means disclosing a consumer's personal information to third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising. “Cross-context behavioral advertising” refers to the targeting of advertising to a consumer based on the consumer's personal information obtained from the consumer’s activity across websites and applications, other than those with which the consumer intentionally interacts.

    In the preceding twelve months, we have shared the following categories of personal information with our third-party advertising partners to generate advertisements tailored to our customers' interests:

    • Device data and how website users interact with our website, including IP address, browser type, and unique device identifier.
    • Email addresses and phone numbers
    Personal Information Disclosed for a Business Purpose.
    We have disclosed for a business purpose the following categories of personal information listed below during the preceding 12 months:
    • Identifiers
    • Categories of personal information described in the California Customer Records statute
    • Characteristics of protected classifications
    • Commercial information
    • Internet or other electronic network activity information
    • Audio, electric, visual, thermal, olfactory, or similar information
    • Professional or employment-related information
    • Inferences drawn from other Personal Information to create consumer profiles
    • Geolocation data
    • Sensitive Personal Information

    We have disclosed each category of personal information to the following categories of third parties: (1) corporate parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates; (2) professional advisors (e.g. accountants, attorneys, insurance professionals and business professionals); (3) service providers (e.g.: data analytics, data storage, mailing, marketing, website and platform administration, data security, and technical support); and (4) operating systems and platforms.

    Children

    Encompass does not collect or maintain Personal Information of minors under the age of 18. We do not knowingly sell or share Personal Information of minors under 18 years old. If you believe we have collected Personal Information of minors under 18 years of age, please contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete that Personal Information.

    Financial Incentive

    From time to time, we may offer financial incentives in connection with the collection or use of personal information. For example, we offer a customer loyalty incentive program with various financial incentives such as price discounts, coupons, and other perks for participants who have signed up. Through these offerings, consumers provide us with personal information, such as identifiers (e.g., name, address, online identifiers, phone numbers, email addresses) upon signing up. There is no obligation to opt-in and consumers may opt out at any time. The material terms of the financial incentive will generally be presented to you at the time you sign up. You may withdraw from any of the financial incentives by contacting us at [email protected].

    We offer these programs, among other things, to enhance our relationship with you so you can enjoy more of our products and Services at a lower price. We invest heavily in our marketing and brands, in part, so we can provide programs for our customers. Consumer data is valuable to our business only when it is combined with a sufficient number of other consumer data and after it is enhanced by our efforts. The value to our business of any individual consumer’s personal information is dependent on a number of factors, including, for example, whether and to what extent you take advantage of any offerings, whether and to what extent you opt out of any offerings, and whether we are able to enhance the data through our own efforts. Our ability to create any value from the programs is heavily based on our ability to leverage said intellectual properties. Although we do not calculate the value of consumer data in our accounting statements, we have calculated the value of the incentive by using the expense related to the offer. The value of your personal information is reasonably related to the value of the offer presented to you.

    Notice of Right to Opt Out of Sale/Sharing/Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

    For purposes of the CCPA and CPRA, we do not sell Personal Information for monetary compensation. We do share certain categories of Personal Information with our third-party advertising partners to serve targeted advertising.

    Under the CCPA, you have the right to direct us to stop selling and sharing your personal information to third parties and to refrain from doing so in the future. To the extent we sell or share your Personal Information, as those terms are defined in the CCPA, you have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information at any time. If you wish to opt-out of such use, you can visit the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link on our homepage or click here to opt out of this practice. You may also log into the Services and adjust your user preferences in your account profile by checking the relevant boxes or send us an email stating your request to [email protected]. We also process GPC signals to allow consumers to exercise their right to Opt Out. Please see Section 9 of this Policy for more information.

    Requests to Know and Right to Request Deletion

    The CCPA gives consumers the right to request that we (1) disclose what personal information we collect, use, disclose, sell, and share and (2) delete certain personal information that we have collected or maintain. You may submit these requests to us as described below, and we honor these rights where they apply.

    If a request is submitted in a manner that is not one of the designated methods for submission, or if the request is deficient in some manner unrelated to our verification process, we will either (1) treat the request as if it had been submitted in accordance with the designated manner, or (2) provide you with specific directions on how to submit the request or remedy any deficiencies with the request, as applicable.

    Request to Know.
    As a California resident, you have the right to request: (1) the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you; (2) the categories of personal information we have collected about you; (3) the categories of sources from which the personal information is collected; (4) the categories of personal information about you that we have sold or shared and the categories of third parties to whom the personal information was sold or shared; (5) the categories of personal information about you that we disclosed for a business purpose and the categories of third parties to whom the personal information was disclosed for a business purpose; (6) the business or commercial purpose for collecting, disclosing, or selling personal information; and (7) the categories of third parties with whom we sell or share personal information.
    Request to Delete.
    As a California resident, you have a right to request the erasure/deletion of certain personal information collected or maintained by us. As described herein, we will delete your personal information from our records and direct any service providers (as defined under applicable law) to delete your personal information from their records. However, we are not required to honor a deletion request if an exemption applies under the law.

    Request to Correct.

    As a California resident, you have a right to request the correction of certain inaccurate personal information collected or maintained by us. Upon receipt of a verifiable request to correct inaccurate personal information, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the inaccurate personal information as directed by you, pursuant to applicable law.

    Submitting a Request

    Submission Instructions.
    You may submit a request to know, correct, or to delete via your Account Page or a toll-free telephone call to 800-781-0207 800-781-0207 or by email to [email protected]. Regarding requests to delete, we may present you with the choice to delete select portions of your personal information, but a global option to delete all personal information will be offered and more prominently presented.
    Verification Process.
    We are required by law to verify the identities of those who submit requests to know, correct, or delete. To determine whether the individual making the request is the consumer about whom we have collected information, we will verify your identity by matching the identifying information provided by you in the request to the personal information that we already maintain about you. As a part of this process, you will be required to provide your name, account number, address, and telephone number. We will inform you if we cannot verify your identity.

    If we cannot verify the identity of the person making a request for categories of personal information, we may deny the request. If the request is denied in whole or in part for this reason, we will provide a copy of, or direct you to, our Policy.

    If we cannot verify the identity of the person making the request for specific pieces of personal information, we are prohibited from disclosing any specific pieces of personal information to the requestor. However, if denied in whole or in part for this reason, we will evaluate the request as if it is seeking the disclosure of categories of personal information about the consumer.

    If we cannot verify the identity of the person making a request to delete, we may deny the request.

    If there is no reasonable method by which we can verify the identity of the requestor to the degree of certainty required, we will state this in our response and explain why we have no reasonable method by which we can verify the identity of the requestor.

    Authorized Agents.
    Authorized agents may submit requests via the methods identified in this Policy. If you use an authorized agent to submit a request to know or a request to delete, we may require you to: (1) provide the authorized agent with signed permission to do so; (2) verify your identity directly with us; and (3) directly confirm with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request. However, we will not require these actions if you have provided the authorized agent with power of attorney pursuant to the California Probate Code.
    Excessive Requests.
    If requests from a consumer are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character, we may either (1) charge a reasonable fee, or (2) refuse to act on the request and notify the consumer of the reason for refusing the request. If we charge a fee, the amount will be based upon the administrative costs of providing the information or communication or taking the action requested.
    Time Period to Comply with Requests.
    Encompass will disclose and deliver the required information as requested by you pursuant to this Section free of charge, correct inaccurate personal information, or delete your personal information, based on your request, within 45 days of receiving a verifiable request, but will confirm receipt of your request within 10 business days of receipt of same. We will promptly take steps to determine whether the request is a verifiable consumer request, as set forth herein, but this shall not extend our duty to disclose and deliver the information, to correct inaccurate personal information, or to delete personal information within 45 days of receipt of the request. However, the time period to provide the required information, to correct inaccurate personal information, or to delete personal information may be extended once by an additional 45 days when reasonably necessary, provided we provide you with notice of the extension within the first 45-day period.

    Non-Discrimination

    We do not discriminate against consumers for exercising their rights under the CCPA or CPRA.

    Do Not Track Signals

    We currently do not honor do-not-track signals that may be sent by some browsers as defined under the California Online Privacy Protection Act.
