Do it Best will retain collected personal information and sensitive personal information as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, and thereafter as reasonably necessary to meet accounting, reporting, audit, or legal and regulatory requirements (including record retention requirements), to defend or bring potential legal claims, or for a longer period if we have other legitimate business reasons for retaining the information. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

6.     SALE AND SHARING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We do not sell the personal information of consumers in the traditional sense. However, California’s definition of “selling” data is broad and potentially covers many types of data transfers that do not involve selling for monetary consideration, including some disclosures of personal data to our Members. Under the CCPA “share” means to disclose personal information to third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising which means targeting advertising based on personal information obtained from a consumer’s activities across third party websites or services. Like many companies we may use personal information to target advertising as further described in our General Privacy Policy. As defined in the CCPA, we sell or share, and have sold or shared in the preceding 12 months, the following categories of personal information listed above to third parties:

9.     RIGHTS UNDER THE CCPA

The CCPA grants California residents the following rights:

A. Right to Know

You have the right to request that we delete the personal information that we have collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers and contractors to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies. If your request is denied, the response we provide to your verifiable consumer request will explain the reason for denying your request.

C. Right to Correct

You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information that we maintain about you, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will correct (and direct our service providers and contractors to correct) inaccurate personal information that we maintain about you, unless an exception applies. If your request is denied, the response we provide to your verifiable consumer request will explain the reason for denying your request.

D. Right to Opt-Out of Sale and/or Sharing

You have the right to opt-out of the sale and/or sharing (both as defined in the CCPA) of your personal information. You can submit a request to opt-out by:

Clicking here,

• Sending us an email at privacypolicy@doitbest.com, or

Please note that when you place a Ship-to-Store Order or an order via Hosted Member Services, we must share your personal information with the applicable Member to complete that transaction, and you may not opt-out of such sharing if you choose to place such an order. By accessing and using Hosted Member Services or placing a Ship-to-Store Order you consent to the transfer to and processing and use of your personal information and related Usage Information by the applicable Member for its own purposes.

In addition, participation in the Best RewardsSM program is reliant on the exchange of personal information between us and our Members, and if you opt-out of the sale and/or sharing of your personal information this will result in termination of your participation in Best Rewards. To the extent permitted under applicable law we will endeavor to obtain your confirmation that this is your intent at the time you exercise your right to opt-out, but will have no liability for any unintended termination of your Best Rewards Account.

E. Right To Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information

We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information that we have collected from you for purposes other than those business purposes permitted under the CCPA and therefore do not provide a method to limit such activities.

We reserve the right to confirm your California residency to process your requests. In accordance with the CCPA, we will need to confirm your identity to process your requests and we may require you to login to your account with us, provide information associated with your account or transactions with us, or require you to provide government identification, signed declarations and other proof of identity. You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf as provided under California law and we reserve the right to request proof of such authorization. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that the personal information relates to you, or if you do not provide us with sufficient detail to allow us to understand and respond to your request. Our response will explain any reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.

11.     AUTHORIZED AGENTS

You may use an authorized agent to submit a request to know, request to delete, or request to correct on your behalf. The authorized agent can submit such requests on your behalf by following the instructions in Section 10 above. When you use an authorized agent to submit a request to know, request to delete, or request to correct, we may require the authorized agent to provide proof that you gave the agent signed permission to submit the request. We may also require you to do either of the following: (a) verify your own identity directly with us; and/or (b) confirm directly with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request.

12.     REQUEST RESPONSE TIMING AND FORMAT

Upon receipt of your request, we will provide directions on identity verification requirements which may include submission of pieces of personal information that we can match to our records. Once you provide such information and assuming we are able to verify your identity by matching the information you provided to our records, we will begin to gather information to respond to your request. For requests to correct, we may require you to provide additional documentation to rebut any of our own documentation that the personal information that you are requesting to correct is accurate.

No later than 10 business days after receiving your request, we will confirm receipt of the request and provide information about how we will process the request. We will endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (we may take up to 45 additional days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. If we cannot verify the request within the 45 calendar days, we may deny the request. If we deny your request, we will inform you of the reason for its denial.

13.     PROCESSING OF PRIVACY OPT-OUT PREFERENCE SIGNAL

Certain browsers and other technologies send opt-out preference signals to a website notifying the website of your desire to stop the sale or sharing of your personal information. For more information, please see www.globalprivacycontrols.org. Our Website will interpret such signal as a request to opt-out of sale and sharing for the relevant browser and device – see Section 9(D). At this time, this signal only applies to the browser you are searching from and only includes the online sale and sharing of your personal information.

14.     NOTICE OF FINANCIAL INCENTIVE

We provide reward price discounts, coupons, services and other benefits for members of the Best RewardsSM loyalty program, Account holders, members of our mailing and email lists, and participants in other promotional programs (collectively, “Programs"). Because Programs involve the collection of personal information (including Categories A, B, C, D, F, G, K, and L identified in Section 1 above), they may be interpreted as a “financial incentive” program under California law. If you choose to participate in a Program, personal information will be collected, used, processed, disclosed, shared and sold by us as provided in this Privacy Statement. You may choose to participate in a Program by signing up for Best Rewards, opening an Account, enrolling via our Website, redeeming a coupon provided in connection a Program or otherwise signing up as provided in applicable Program promotional materials. You may opt-out of participation by ceasing to participate in the Program (including by cancelling your Account), opting out of sharing or selling of your personal information as provided in Section 9.D, or by contacting us as provided in Section 17.

We do not receive any direct monetary compensation from any third party for the use of your personal information in connection with Programs. We incur expenses when providing and operating these Programs. To the extent we create overall value from Programs for our business that could be directly or reasonably related to the value of customer information, an estimation of that value would be based on specific facts such as (1) whether and to what extent consumers take advantage of any Program offerings; (2) the expenses associated with the Program such as data analytics and marketing, (3) the expenses related to the collection, retention, processing and enhancement of consumers' personal information; and (4) all other expenses reasonably related to the Programs. While we do not assign a monetary value to the data we collect through the Programs, based on our reasonable good-faith estimate, the value we receive from your personal information by participating in the Programs is reasonably equal to the value of the discount or financial incentive we provide to participants in the Programs. For example, with respect to the Best Rewards loyalty program, a good-faith estimate of the value of a consumer’s data would generally be that the expenses related to the financial incentive program are approximately $5 for each 250 points that the consumer accrues, with the total value and expense depending on the quantity of points accrued.

15.     DIRECT MARKETING DISCLOSURES

California’s "Shine the Light" law (Civil Code Section 1798.83) requires businesses to respond to requests from California customers asking about the business's practices related to disclosing personal information to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes unless the business has in place a policy not to disclose personal information for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes if the customer has exercised an option to opt-out of such information-sharing. We have such a policy in place and California residents can exercise their right to opt-out of such sharing using the methods provided above in Section 9(D).

16.    CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY STATEMENT

We reserve the right to amend this California Privacy Statement from time to time as provided in our General Privacy Policy.
