You May Decline to Provide Information. You may decline to submit personal information or otherwise decline to use any functionality of the Service that records or otherwise requires the submission of personal information.
Effect of Declining to Provide Information. If you decline to submit personal information or any portion thereof, you may experience materially reduced Service quality.

We shall not disclose personal information to third-parties for their advertising and marketing purposes absent your express consent.
Disclosure to Sub-Contractors and Agents. Sesame Labs may use the services of other companies in order to provide the Service. Such companies shall be given only the personal information needed to perform those services, and we do not authorize them to use or disclose personal information for their own marketing or other purposes. We have contracts in place holding such companies to the same standards of confidentiality by which Sesame Labs is governed. Sesame Labs shall make commercially reasonable efforts to enforce such terms on such companies. However, Sesame Labs shall not be liable to you for such companies’ failure to adhere to such confidentiality terms.

Exercising Your Rights. Please send requests exercising the above rights to our privacy team at vinay@sesamelabs.io; or via the webform at the following link: https://sesamelabs.io.

For requests under the CCPA, 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 only make such a request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you have had any connection to our services, you are the person about whom we collected personal information while using our services, or that you are an authorized representative making these representations on a consumer’s behalf. As it is important to guard against fraudulent claims and protect personal information, we require that your request provides us with sufficient detail to allow 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 that 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.
We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer 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. We will deliver our written response electronically or in writing if deemed appropriate by our legal counsel. 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 usable 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.
