Additional California Privacy Disclosures

Effective as of January 1, 2020

California Privacy Rights

If you are a resident of California, this section provides additional details about the personal information we collect about you, and your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, or “CCPA.”

Subject to certain limitations, the CCPA provides you the right to request:

• That we provide you access to details on the categories or specific pieces of personal information we collect and/or sell (including how we use and disclose this information, to whom we may sell it);
• That we delete any of your personal information;
• To opt out of any “sale” of your personal information that may occur; and
• To not be discriminated against for exercising any of the above rights.

If you would like to submit a request to exercise your California privacy rights under the CCPA, you may do so here. We will verify your request using information associated with your account, including your email address. Further identification may be required. You may also designate an authorized agent to act on your behalf.

Please note, if you do not have an account used to comment on our blog, use our photo gallery ‘save™’ feature, or have contacted us previously through a form on our Site, we will not have enough information about you to verify your Right to Know and Right to Delete requests, as we do not keep sufficient information necessary to reidentify and link you to a prior visit our website where data may have been collected. As such, we will be unable to verify and honor your requests. You may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information twice per 12-month period.

Dr. David Stoker will not sell your personal information without your prior consent.

Why We Use Your Personal Information

Any reviews or other content that you submit to third-parties about our Site or Services are assumed to be intended for public display and are therefore viewable by the public and may appear on our Site, including your name, any photos the review platform permits you to share, and any other personal information you divulge.

Sale of Personal Information

Under the CCPA, a “sale” means providing to a third-party personal information for valuable consideration. It does not necessarily mean money was exchanged for the transfer of personal information. Due to the complexities and ambiguities in the CCPA, we will continue to evaluate some of our third-party relationships as we wait for final implementing regulations and guidance. We provide Usage Data to advertising partners, which enables us to participate in analytics and conversion tracking systems. We will continue to update our business practices as regulatory guidance becomes available and provides clarity on what constitutes a sale transaction, particularly in the advertising ecosystem.
