Information security

We implement organizational and technical measures to protect Customers' and Users' privacy and to protect their Personal Information, including, by using third-party services specializing in data security. We periodically review our information and data collection practices to ensure constant monitoring, we use third-party processing and serving services that implement various information security standards and certifications and we monitor and filter access to data when it comes to personnel in our organization. Such systems and procedures reduce the risk of security breaches, but they do not provide absolute security, as there is no such thing when it comes to the worldwide network. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that the Site and our servers are immune to unauthorized access to the information stored therein and to other information security risks. If you have any questions about the security of our Websites or Services, you can contact us at contact@pccareplus.com.

Highlights of our general Security Policy can be found here.

Children

The Services are not designed to attract children under the age of 16. Accordingly, we do not intend to collect Personal Information from anyone we know to be under 16. If we learn that we have collected Personal Information from a child under 16, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any such information, please contact us at contact@pccareplus.com.

If you have an account with us, you can exercise your right directly via your account or make a request to us via the form available in the portal or via email to contact@pccareplus.com. Upon receipt of your verifiable request, and provided no exceptions apply, we will process the requested information.

You may only make such a request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period.

Delete personal data. You have the right to request the deletion of personal information retained about you, subject to certain exceptions (see below). If you have an account with us, you can exercise your right directly via your account or make a request to us as described below. When applicable, once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:

Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with a customer/you.
Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (CalOPPA) or any other applicable law.
Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement if you previously provided informed consent.
Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
Comply with a legal obligation.
Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

Rectify personal information. You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate personal information that we have collected about you, including:
- The right to request that we delete any incomplete or inaccurate personal information that we have collected about you.
- The right to request that we provide a method to directly correct your personal information only if you have an online account and the information is reasonably available through the account.

We strive to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time and meet the extension requirements defined by law, (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing (electronically).
If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by email. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request if that is the case.
For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily usable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
