4. California Rights. The CCPA provides you with specific rights as a California resident. This section identifies those rights and how to exercise them.

(a) Access and Data Portability. Subject to certain exceptions, you have the right to request certain information about BLCC’s collection, use, and/or disclosure of your personal information over the past 12 months. After receipt of a verifiable consumer request from you, BLCC will disclose to you the categories of personal information collected, categories of sources for the categories of personal information collected, business or commercial purpose for collecting such personal information, categories of third parties with whom BLCC shared such personal information, and specific pieces of personal information collected about you.

(d) Opt-Out. BLCC does not sell Personal Information.

5. California Request Process.

(a) Instructions. If you reside in California, only you or someone legally authorized 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 make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability no more than twice within a 12-month period. Such a request must provide sufficient information to allow BLCC to reasonably verify that you are (or are an authorized representative of) the person about whom BLCC collected the Personal Information, and describe your request with sufficient detail to allow BLCC to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. Please note that BLCC cannot respond to your request or provide you with information if BLCC 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 BLCC. BLCC will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify your identity or authority to make the request. If you reside in California, you may exercise your Personal Information rights by submitting verifiable consumer requests in one or more of the following manners:

(i) You may contact BLCC by phone toll free at (509) 426-3220 or by submitting a request using any of the contact information set forth in Section 8 below.

(b) Verifying Requests. BLCC will confirm receipt of your request within the time period prescribed by the CCPA and/or its regulations, let you know how BLCC will process the request, and let you know BLCC’s verification process and anticipated timeframe for response. BLCC may try to verify your request by asking you to provide certain information and matching it to the information BLCC maintains about you. BLCC will request at least two data points about you. Depending on the nature of your request, BLCC may require more data points to match and/or may require you to sign a declaration confirming under penalty of perjury that you are the consumer whose Personal Information is the subject of the request.

(c) Authorized Agent. If you are a California resident, you may designate an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf to exercise your Personal Information rights. The authorized agent must be registered with California’s Secretary of State. The authorized agent making any request on your behalf to know or delete certain Personal Information about you must submit a copy of the written permission you granted them to act as authorized agent or a copy of the document showing you granted them a power of attorney for this purpose. If the authorized agent does not have a power of attorney in compliance with California’s probate law, you must also directly verify your identity with BLCC. If adequate proof is not presented, BLCC may deny the request.

(d) Response Timing and Format. BLCC will try to respond to a verified consumer request within forty five (45) days of receipt, but if BLCC requires more time to respond, it will let you know how long and why in writing. BLCC will respond to you by mail or electronically at your option. Any disclosures BLCC provides in response to your request will pertain only to the 12-month period immediately preceding receipt of the verifiable consumer request. If BLCC is unable to respond to the request, BLCC will explain why, if applicable. If BLCC is unable to verify your identity in connection with a request for specific pieces of information about you, BLCC will let you know (but will not disclose the specific pieces of information) and will evaluate the request as though it were a request for categories of Personal Information disclosed to third parties during the past 12 months. If BLCC denies a request due to conflict with federal or state law or an exception to the CCPA, BLCC will explain the basis for the denial. If BLCC cannot verify your identity in connection with a request to disclose categories of information disclosed to third parties, BLCC will let you know and will provide you information about its general business practices regarding collection, maintenance, and sale of Personal Information (as described herein). If BLCC cannot verify the identity of an individual requesting deletion of Personal Information, BLCC will deny your request. BLCC has no obligation to provide you with specific Personal Information if such disclosure creates a substantial, articulable, and unreasonable risk to security. For any data portability requests, BLCC will provide your Personal Information in the following format: by pdf. Unless your request is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded, BLCC will not charge a fee to process or respond to your request. If BLCC determines that a fee is warranted, BLCC will explain why it reached that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before responding.

6. Changes to Privacy Policy. Changes to the Supplemental Notice will be posted on this page. If BLCC makes material changes to the way it treats users’ Personal Information, it may choose to notify you by email or through a notice in addition to posting. The date the Supplemental Notice was last revised appears at the top of the Supplemental Notice. You are responsible for ensuring that BLCC has a current email address for you and for periodically visiting the Site and the Supplemental Notice to check for any changes.

7. Third Party Marketing. California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits users of the Site who are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
