Consumer Rights

This section describes certain rights of Consumers under the CCPA. For information on how Consumers may contact us to exercise these rights, please see the section below entitled, “How to Submit a Request”.

Right to Know

A Consumer has the right to request that a business disclose what personal information it collects, uses, discloses or sells with respect to such Consumer. Specifically, a Consumer may request that a business that collects personal information about the Consumer disclose to the Consumer the following:

The categories of personal information it has collected about that Consumer.
The categories of sources from which the personal information is collected.
The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling personal information.
The categories of third parties with whom the business shares personal information.
The specific pieces of personal information it has collected about that Consumer.

A Consumer may request that a business that sells the Consumer’s personal information, or that discloses it for a business purpose, disclose to that Consumer:

The categories of personal information that the business collected about the Consumer.
The categories of personal information that the business sold about the Consumer and the categories of third parties to whom the personal information was sold, by category or categories of personal information for each third party to whom the personal information was sold.
The categories of personal information that the business disclosed about the Consumer for a business purpose.

A Consumer also has the right to know about financial incentives we may offer for the collection, sale, or retention of personal information. However, we do not currently offer any such incentives.

Right to Request Deletion

A Consumer has the right to request that a business delete any personal information about the Consumer which the business has collected from the Consumer. If it is necessary for us to maintain the personal information for certain purposes, we are not required to comply with your deletion request. If we determine that we will not delete your personal information when you request us to do so, we will inform you and tell you why we are not deleting it.

Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing of Personal Information

A Consumer has the right to direct a business that sells personal information about the Consumer to third parties not to sell the Consumer’s personal information. Consumers also have the right to opt out of the sharing of personal information for cross-contextual behavioral advertising purposes. To exercise either right to opt out, you may visit our Do Not Sell My Personal Information web page.

No Discrimination

A Consumer has the right not to be discriminated against because the Consumer exercised any of its rights under the CCPA.

Right to Restrict Processing of Sensitive Personal Information

A consumer has the right to restrict the processing of their sensitive personal information. However, at this time, we do not process sensitive personal information.

Correction of Inaccuracies

A Consumer has the right to make a request for the correction of errors or inaccuracies in its personal information.

Third Party Direct Marketing

California’s “Shine the Light” law, Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.83, entitles California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. Any inquiries regarding personal information sharing with third parties may be directed to us at the contact information set forth below.

How to Submit a Request

To exercise the rights described above, you must submit a verifiable Consumer request to us by contacting us toll-free at (855) 947-0468, privacy@tripointehomes.com or by submitting a request online at https://preferences.tripointehomes.com/privacy.

You may submit a request as frequently as you would like, but we are not required to respond to requests to provide personal information to you more than twice in any 12-month period.

To submit a verifiable Consumer request, you will be asked to provide certain information to help us verify your identity, including your name, email address, phone number and/or information regarding your previous interactions with us. The information we ask you to provide to initiate a request may differ depending upon the type of request; the type, sensitivity and value of the personal information that is the subject of the request; and the risk of harm to you that may occur as a result of unauthorized access or deletion, among other factors. As required by the CCPA, in response to a Consumer request, we will never disclose a Consumer’s social security number, driver’s license number or other government-issued identification number, financial account number, health insurance or medical identification number, account password, or security questions and answers, as applicable.

You may make a verifiable Consumer request on behalf of your minor child. You may also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. If you designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf, we reserve the right to require verification of your authorized agent’s identity and authority, which may include, among other things, a requirement that your authorized agent provide us with (i) your written authorization permitting the authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf or (ii) a duly executed power of attorney pursuant to California Probate Code sections 4000 to 4465 permitting the authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf. If we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request, we will not be able to comply with your request. We will inform you if we cannot verify your identity or authority. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable Consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
