Your Rights and Choices

The CCPA provides you with specific rights regarding your Personal Information. You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your Personal Information over the past twelve (12) months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable request (as described in more detail below), we will disclose to you, as applicable:

• The categories of Personal Information we collected about you;
• The categories of sources for the Personal Information we collected about you;
• Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or disclosing that Personal Information;
• The categories of third parties with whom we share that Personal Information;
• The specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you (a “data portability request”); and
• If we disclosed your Personal Information with a third party for a business purpose, a list of each disclosure for a business purpose, identifying the Personal Information categories that each category of recipient obtained.

You have the right to request that we delete any of your Personal Information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your Personal Information from our records, unless an exception applies.

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

• Carry out our obligations arising from any agreement entered into with us by you or on your behalf, or on behalf of the organizations for which you work, including to contact you (e.g., with information or messages about a fundraise or an investment);
• Complete the transaction for which we collected the Personal Information, provide a service that you requested, or take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with 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;
• Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.);
• Comply with a legal obligation; or
• Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable request to us by emailinglegal@battery.com. We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable request related to your Personal Information, and you may only make a verifiable request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable request must:

• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative, which may include your name, email address or affiliated entity information.
• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

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 the Personal Information relates to you. We will endeavor to respond to a verifiable request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.

We recognize that protecting your personal information is an ongoing responsibility and so we will update this privacy notice as we undertake new practices involving your Personal Information. We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Notice at our discretion and at any time.
