Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 8, 2023

Our Commitment to Privacy. We care about your privacy. This Privacy Policy applies to information gathered from and in connection with operation of the SAKARA.com website, which is operated by Sakara Life, Inc. (the “Company”, “we,” or “us”). Please note that as referenced in this Privacy Policy, “we” or “us” also includes our applicable third party service providers from time to time, where applicable. These third parties from time to time provide us with various personal information they have collected on our behalf in connection with and relating to our products and services, and in such event that information is treated in the same manner as information directly provided to us, as herein described.

This Privacy Policy describes our privacy practices in relation to the use of our website and any applications, affiliated sites, services, and programs, including attendance at marketing and promotional events and activities, and will help you better understand our privacy practices and the choices you can make about the way your personal data is collected and used.

Through the Company site, you may from time to time be able to link to other sites maintained by unaffiliated third parties, such as our suppliers or service providers. As more fully described below, each of these sites may be governed by a different privacy policy or statement. We suggest you check the privacy link typically located in the footer of each web page to access and review the applicable privacy policy or statement. Since privacy policies or statements may change periodically, we also suggest that you occasionally re-visit them.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully.

The Information We Collect. The information we collect from visitors to the Company site helps us improve our site and provide better service to you. We collect, use, disclose, transfer, and store personal data (such as your name, mailing address, email address and phone) when needed to provide our services and for our operational and business purposes as described in this Privacy Policy. Occasionally you may also choose to provide us with what may be considered sensitive personal data (collectively, “personal data”) such as financial and bank account numbers. In addition, from time to time we may receive certain personal data relating to you from third parties or other sources. We want to be clear about our privacy practices so that you can make informed choices about our use of all such collected information.

The information we collect falls into two broad categories: (1) information you voluntarily provide to us, and (2) information that is automatically collected.

Information you voluntarily provide to us. Generally, you can visit the Company site without providing any personal or sensitive personal data. However, on some pages, we collect personal data in order to provide a service or carry out a transaction requested by you. See below for what personal data is collected and how it is used. We may also ask for feedback relating to our goods or services. Participation is voluntary and you are not required to provide this information. There generally is no negative effect on you if you choose not to provide your personal data. However, since personal data may be needed to process an order, if you choose not to participate, we may not be able to perform a requested service or complete a transaction.

Information Collected Automatically. Our servers, logs and other technologies collect and store certain personal and non-personal data such as your IP address, machine operating system, geolocations, type of system, and selection preferences that are generated automatically as you navigate through our sites. By using our website, you agree to the processing of the data collected about you for the stated purposes below. We use a standard feature found in browser software called a "cookie" used to store and manage user preferences, deliver targeted advertising, enable content, and gather analytic and usage data, for example. The use of cookies and other tracking technologies is standard across websites and apps through which information is collected about your online activities across applications, websites, or other servicers. You can choose to accept or decline cookies and, while most web browsers automatically accept cookies, you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of our sites. Sakara may collect your email address via cookies and pixels on the Website through the use of trusted third party partners. These partners may combine your email information with other information they have access to such as mailing address so that Sakara may serve relevant marketing offers to you via direct mail. If you do not want to receive direct mail from Sakara, please opt out via this mailing opt-out form.

California consumers or Authorized Agents may submit requests under the CCPA to the Company by:

The Company cannot respond to requests or provide Personal Information if it is unable to verify a requestor’s identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to the requestor. Making a request does not require you to create an account with the Company. Personal Information provided for identity verification for such requests will only be used to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

- Response Timing and Format. The Company endeavors to respond to verified requests from California consumers within 30 days of receiving the request. If more time is required to comply with the request, the Company will inform the requestor of the need for an extension (up to an additional 45 days) and the reason in writing. If the requestor has an account with the Company, a response will be delivered to that account. If the requestor does not have an account with the Company, a response will be sent via email or regular mail, at the requestor’s option. Disclosures will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verified request. If the Company is unable to comply with a request, it will explain the reasons why. For verified data portability requests, requestors will be able to select a format to provide the Personal Information in that is readily usable and should allow the requestor to transmit the information from one entity to another without hindrance.

There is no fee or charge for processing or responding to verified requests unless a request is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If the Company determines that a request warrants a fee, it will explain that decision to the requestor and provide a cost estimate prior to complying with the request.

- Identity Verification Requirements. The CCPA requires a verification process to confirm the identity of a California consumer who is exercising their rights as described above. Requests for additional information for verification purposes will be sent via email or regular mail, at the California consumer’s preference. If an Authorized Agent is being utilized for a request under the CCPA, The Company will require proof of the Authorized Agent’s authority for the particular California consumer and the identity verification will occur directly with the California consumer about whom the request is being made. If verification is necessary and the California consumer or its Authorized Agent making the request cannot or does not provide the additional requested information, the request may be denied.

Taking into consideration the type, sensitivity, and value of the Personal Information, the risk of harm posed by any unauthorized access or deletion, the likelihood that fraudulent or malicious actors might seek the information, whether the identity verification process is sufficiently robust to protect against fraudulent requests or being spoofed or fabricated, the nature of the transaction between the California consumer and the Company, and available technology for verification:

- Verification for Password-Protected Accounts. Verification may include using the existing authentication practices for the account.

- Verification for Non-Account Holders:

a. Requests to know categories of Personal Information: The CCPA requires the identity of the California consumer be verified to a reasonable degree of certainty, and may include matching at least two data points provided by the California consumer with data points maintained by the Company, and which the Company believes to be reliable for verification purposes.

b. Requests to know specific pieces of Personal Information: The CCPA requires the identity of the California consumer be verified to a reasonably high degree of certainty, and may include matching at least three pieces of Personal Information provided by the California consumer with data points maintained by the Company, and which the Company believes to be reliable for verification purposes. Additionally, the California Consumer must complete and submit a declaration under the penalty of perjury with an original signature that the California consumer making the request is the consumer whose Personal Information is the subject of the request.

c. Requests to Delete: The verification required for a request to delete depends on the sensitivity of the Personal Information and the risk of harm to the California consumer posed by the unauthorized deletion.

- Non-Discrimination. The Company will not discriminate against a California consumer for exercising any rights under the CCPA. Unless permitted by the CCPA, the Company will not:

a. Deny goods or services,

b. Charge different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties,

c. Provide a different level or quality of goods or services, or

d. Suggest that a California consumer may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

The Company may from time to time offer certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that may result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive offered will reasonably relate to a California consumer’s Personal Information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in any Company financial incentive program requires a California consumer’s prior opt in consent, which may be revoked at any time.
