- The specific pieces of personal information collected;
- The categories of sources from which the information was collected;
- The business or commercial purposes for collecting, using, selling, or sharing the information;

Where required, we will communicate qualifying deletion requests to applicable service providers, contractors, or other parties in accordance with applicable law.
Right to Correct
You may request that we correct inaccurate personal information we maintain about you.
In evaluating a correction request, we may consider the nature of the personal information, the purposes for which it is processed, and the totality of the circumstances concerning its accuracy, as permitted by applicable law.
Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing
You have the right to direct us not to sell or share your personal information, as those terms are defined under the CCPA.
To exercise this right, please use our Your Privacy Choices page.
You are not required to create an account in order to exercise the right to opt out.
Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information
California law provides consumers with the right to limit certain uses and disclosures of sensitive personal information.
Wind ’n’ Sails does not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes that require us to provide a right to limit under the CCPA unless otherwise disclosed at or before the time of collection.
If our practices change such that the right to limit applies, we will provide the notices and methods required by applicable law.
Right to Non-Discrimination
We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising your rights under the CCPA.
Subject to applicable law, we will not:
- Deny you goods or services;
- Charge you different prices or rates;
- Provide you with a different level or quality of goods or services; or
- Retaliate against you
solely because you exercised a right provided by the CCPA.
The CCPA permits certain financial incentives, loyalty programs, or price or service differences when applicable legal requirements are satisfied.
Opt-Out Preference Signals and Global Privacy Control
Where required by applicable law, Wind ’n’ Sails processes qualifying opt-out preference signals as requests to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information.
This includes qualifying signals such as Global Privacy Control (GPC).
When a qualifying opt-out preference signal is detected, we will process the signal in accordance with applicable California law for the browser, device, and/or consumer associated with the signal, as applicable.
Because some preference signals operate at the browser or device level, you may need to enable your preference separately for each browser or device you use.
If you would also like to exercise your privacy choices directly, please visit Your Privacy Choices.
Exercising Your California Privacy Rights
You may submit an applicable California privacy request through the methods identified on our Privacy Policyor Your Privacy Choices page.
You may also contact us at:
Where required by law, Wind ’n’ Sails will provide the required methods for submitting requests to know, delete, or correct personal information.
We will not require you to create an account solely to submit a privacy request, although if you already have an account we may use information associated with that account where permitted to help process or verify your request.
Verification of Privacy Requests
For requests that require verification, we may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before fulfilling the request.
The type and degree of verification may vary depending on:
- The nature of the request;
- The type and sensitivity of the personal information involved; and
- The risk of harm that could result from unauthorized access, deletion, or correction.
Verification may include confirming information associated with your account, purchases, transactions, or communications with us.
We will use information provided for verification only as permitted by applicable law.
If we cannot reasonably verify your identity, we may be unable to fulfill some or all of your request.
Requests to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information generally do not require identity verification, although we may request information reasonably necessary to identify the information or consumer associated with the request.
Authorized Agents
You may designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf where permitted under California law.
We may require the authorized agent to provide proof that you authorized the agent to act on your behalf.
We may also require you to:
- Verify your identity directly with us; or
- Confirm directly with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request,
except where applicable law provides otherwise.
Responding to Privacy Requests
We will respond to privacy requests within the time periods required by applicable law.
Where permitted, we may extend the response period when reasonably necessary and will provide any notice of the extension required by law.
We generally do not charge a fee for processing privacy requests.
Where the CCPA permits a fee because a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, including because of its repetitive character, any fee or refusal to act will be handled in accordance with applicable law.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for no longer than reasonably necessary and proportionate to achieve the purposes for which the information was collected or processed, or for other disclosed purposes compatible with the context in which the information was collected, unless a longer retention period is permitted or required by law.
The length of time we retain personal information may depend on factors including:
- The nature and sensitivity of the information;
- The purposes for which it was collected and processed;
- The duration of our relationship with you;
- Contractual requirements;
- Operational and business requirements;
- Fraud-prevention and security considerations;
- Applicable statutes of limitation; and
- Legal, tax, accounting, regulatory, and recordkeeping obligations.
When personal information is no longer reasonably necessary for an applicable purpose, we may delete, destroy, anonymize, or deidentify it in accordance with applicable law and our record-retention practices.
Deidentified Information
Where Wind ’n’ Sails maintains information in deidentified form, we intend to maintain and use that information in deidentified form and will not attempt to reidentify it except as permitted by applicable law.
Financial Incentives, Loyalty Programs, and Promotional Offers
Wind ’n’ Sails may from time to time offer discounts, rewards, loyalty benefits, promotional programs, or other benefits in connection with the collection or use of personal information.
Some of these programs may qualify as a financial incentive or price or service difference under the CCPA.

Participation in any qualifying program is voluntary.
Additional terms may apply to a particular loyalty program, promotion, discount, or financial incentive and will be presented where appropriate.

California law and regulations provide certain rights concerning the use of automated decisionmaking technology (“ADMT”) for specified purposes, including certain significant decisions.
To the extent Wind ’n’ Sails engages in uses of ADMT that are subject to these requirements, we will provide applicable notices and opportunities to exercise rights concerning such processing within the time and in the manner required by California law.
