This Privacy Notice for California Residents (the “Notice”) supplements the information contained in our Privacy Policy and applies only if you reside in the State of California (i.e. if you are a “California Consumer”).
For purposes of this Notice “Sell,” “Selling,” “Sale,” or “Sold,” means selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, Personal Information to another business or a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration.
“Share”, “Shared,” or “Sharing” means sharing, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, Personal Information to a third party for Cross-context Behavioral Advertising, whether or not for monetary or other valuable consideration.
“Cross-context Behavioral Advertising "means the targeting of advertising to a consumer based on that consumer’s Personal Information obtained from activity across businesses or distinctly-branded websites, applications, or services, other than the business or distinctly-branded website, application, or service with which the consumer intentionally interacts. (In other words, if we send you an ad based solely on your interaction with us or our Services, this is not Cross-context Behavioral Advertising.)
“Sensitive Personal Information” means Personal Information that is not publicly available and reveals one or more of the following:
“Verifiable Request” means that the identifying information provided by a California Consumer in connection with a request matches the personal information of the California Consumer already maintained by us. Identifying information you can submit in order to permit Applecart to verify your request may include your first, middle, and last name, date of birth street address, city, state, zip-code, phone number and email address.
Although the majority of the information collected by Project Applecart LLC (“Applecart”, “we”, or “us”) does not constitute Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information within the meaning of the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (collectively, the “CCPA”), in the past twelve (12) months, Applecart has collected the following categories of Personal Information regarding California residents:

Unless we update this Notice to reflect otherwise, we will not collect additional categories of Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information, nor use the Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information we collect for any other materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes.
We retain each category of your Personal Information and Sensitive Personal Information for no longer than is reasonably necessary for one or more Business Purposes, subject to your right to request we delete your Personal Information and Sensitive Personal Information. Due to the nature of the services, it is not possible to predict the length of time that we intend to retain your Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information. Instead, we use the following criteria to determine whether it remains reasonably necessary to retain your Personal Information and Sensitive Personal Information for one or more disclosed Business Purpose(s):
When we determine that it is no longer reasonably necessary to retain your Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information for one or more disclosed Business Purpose(s) based on the above criteria, we will delete your Personal Information and/or Sensitive Personal Information (as applicable).
Within the last 12 months Applecart has disclosed your Personal Information as described in this Notice.
Applecart discloses Personal Information to third parties for a Business Purpose. When we disclose Personal Information for a Business Purpose, we enter into an agreement with the receiving party that describes the purpose for disclosing the Personal Information, and that requires the receiving party to keep that Personal Information confidential and not use it for any purpose other than performing the services according to the agreement.
We may disclose your Personal Information to: our service providers. We do not disclose your Sensitive Personal Information to anyone, except where required by applicable law or court orders, and as necessary to comply with requests from law enforcement agencies.
Applecart does not Sell any Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information about California Consumers. Applecart’s targeted commercial marketing and political consulting services do not require any disclosure of Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information to Applecart's customers.
Applecart may Share your Personal Information in the course of our performance of our targeted commercial marketing and political consulting services, as these services sometimes involve the use of your Personal Information for the purposes of Cross-context Behavioral Advertising.

Applecart does not Share your Sensitive Personal Information.
If you are a California Consumer, you may request information about our collection, use, disclosure and Sale or Sharing of your Personal Information over the past twelve (12) months, whether or not it was collected electronically. If you submit a Verifiable Request, we will disclose:
(a) the categories of Personal Information we have collected about you; the categories of sources from which your Personal Information was collected; our business or commercial purpose for collecting, Selling, or Sharing your Personal Information; the categories of third parties to whom we have disclosed that Personal Information; and the specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you; and
(b) if we disclosed your Personal Information for a Business Purpose: what categories of Personal Information we disclosed for a Business Purpose, and to which categories of recipients we disclosed it to.
With regard to a Verifiable Request regarding the specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you, we reserve the right to further verify your identity by requiring you to compete a signed declaration which verifies that you are the consumer whose personal information is the subject of the Verifiable Request.
You also have the right to request that we delete any of your Personal Information that we collect or maintain by submitting a Verifiable Request. We may deny your deletion request if retaining your Personal Information is necessary for us or our service providers to:
You further have the right to request that we correct any of your Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information that is inaccurate by submitting a Verifiable Request. We will correct any inaccurate Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information pursuant to your request to the extent possible using commercially reasonable efforts. We may deny your correction request if the Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information is accurate. We may also delete your Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information instead of correcting it to the extent such deletion would not negatively impact you.
Lastly, you have the right to request that we limit the use and disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information by submitting a Verifiable Request. If you submit such a Verifiable Request, we may continue to use or disclose your Sensitive Personal Information to:
