This PRIVACY NOTICE FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS supplements the information contained in the Liberation Technology Services Privacy Policy, and applies solely to visitors, users and others who reside in the State of California (“consumers” or “you”). We adopt this notice to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) and other California privacy laws. Any terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this notice.
Liberation Technology Services is Committed to Privacy
Liberation Technology Services is a longtime champion of online privacy. In fact, privacy has been one of our core values since inception. We live this value within our business and our work with others.
On January 1, 2020, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) will come into effect for California residents. The CCPA embraces many of the privacy rights for which we have advocated for years. We want to assure you that we still advocate for those rights and more. For those of you who reside in California, this page will help you understand the CCPA and our compliance with it.
At Liberation Technology Services, we collect information for two primary reasons. First, we collect information contractually necessary to execute purchases. This includes basic account information and payment information. It also includes information that contractually must be shared with third-party service providers, for example, Whois data is required to be shared with registries. For gTLDs, ICANN is implementing a “gated Whois” system where only certain fields will be publicly visible. However, unless you have chosen to protect yourself through a Whois domain privacy service, the full Whois details will be made accessible to law enforcement, intellectual property attorneys and other ICANN approved parties. We’ll let you know when we have a contractual or legal duty to collect and/or share information in this way.
For some products or services that you purchase, data will be collected directly by the third-party service provider. This will be true for most products and services purchased on our Apps Marketplace. Data collected by these third-parties directly does not fall under Liberation Technology Services’s CCPA responsibilities.
Second, we collect information to help you with customer support issues and to curate a great online experience for you. For customer support issues, the information we collect is usually legally required, such as when you are locked out of your account and need our assistance to regain access. To enhance your experience, we use cookies and related third party service providers and their use is based on your informed consent, which you may later withdraw.
In particular, we have collected the following categories of personal information from consumers within the last twelve (12) months and will be updated annually:

Use of Personal Information
We may use or disclose the personal information we collect for one or more of the following business purposes:
We will not collect additional categories of personal information or use the personal information we collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes without providing you notice.
The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.
Right to Know/Access and Data Portability Rights
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 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you, specifically for each category of personal information collected:
Deletion Request Rights
You have the right to request that we delete any of your 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 to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies. Deletion will be completed by permanently erasing your personal information on our systems (with the exception of backup or archival systems) or by de-identifying or aggregating your personal information. In our response to your deletion request we will specify which method we used to comply with your request.
We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:
If we deny your deletion request we will provide you with a basis for such denial.
Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights
To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:
Only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.
You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:
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. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
Response Timing and Format
We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 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. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. 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 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 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.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:
We reserve the right to amend this privacy notice at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes to this privacy notice, we will notify you by email or through a notice on our website homepage.
