LAST UPDATED 03/31/2022

Effective as of March 31, 2022.

This “Privacy Policy” describes the privacy practices of The Doe, Inc. and our subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “The Doe”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) in connection with the www.thedoe.com website (the “Site”), and any other website that we own or control. We invite you to read this Policy, which explains our privacy practices and how we treat your personal information when you use or access the Site.

This Policy describes the types of personal information collected and created in connection with your use or access to the Site, how and why we use such information, who we share it with, and your legal rights. Certain portions of this Policy apply only to Sites offered in particular geographies.

California Privacy Notice

This section describes how we collect, use, and share Personal Information of California residents in our capacity as a “business” under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and their rights with respect to that Personal Information. For purposes of this section, the term “Personal Information” has the meaning given in the CCPA but does not include information exempted from the scope of the CCPA. In some cases, we may provide a different privacy notice to certain categories of California residents, such as job applicants, in which case that notice will apply instead of this section.

Your California privacy rights. California residents have the rights listed below under the CCPA. However, these rights are not absolute, and in certain cases we may decline your request as permitted by law.

Information. You can request the following information about how we have collected and used your Personal Information in during the past 12 months:
undefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefined
Access. You can request a copy of the Personal Information that we have collected about you during the past 12 months.
Deletion. You can ask us to delete the Personal Information that we have collected from you.
Opt-out of sales. You can opt out of any sale of your Personal Information.
Opt-in. If we know that you are under the age of 16, we will ask for your affirmative authorization to sell your Personal Information before we do so.
Nondiscrimination. You are entitled to exercise the rights described above free from discrimination as prohibited by the CCPA.

Exercising your right to information, access and deletion. You may submit requests to exercise your right to information, access or deletion at our webform or via email to privacy@thedoe.com.

Notice of right to opt-out of the “sale” of your Personal Information. Like many companies, we use services that help deliver interest-based ads to you. Our use of some of these services may be classified under California law as a “sale” of your Personal Information to the advertising partners that provide the services because they collect information from our users (e.g., device data and online activity data) to help them serve ads more likely to interest you. You can request to opt-out of this “sale” of your personal information here: Do Not Sell My Personal Information.

We cannot process your request if you do not provide us with sufficient detail to allow us to understand and respond to it.

We will need to verify your identity to process your information, access and deletion requests and reserve the right to confirm your California residency. To verify your identity, we may require government identification, a declaration under penalty of perjury, or other information. Your authorized agent may make a request on your behalf upon our verification of the agent’s identity and our receipt of a copy of a valid power of attorney given to your authorized agent pursuant to California Probate Code Sections 4000-4465. If you have not provided your agent with such a power of attorney, you must provide your agent with written and signed permission to exercise your CCPA rights on your behalf, provide the information we request to verify your identity, and provide us with confirmation that you have given the authorized agent permission to submit the request.
