VI. The Choices You Make
- A. How To Access, Change or Delete Your Data
Update Profile. Individuals or authorized corporate representatives can keep their BatchService Profile up to date by verifying it and updating information such as email address, phone number, or billing address. To view, verify, and update your Profile, please contact us at https://batchleads.io/personal-information.

VII. How Do We Keep Information Secure?
Information security is important to us. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. We employ reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the PII we collect from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. However, no method of Internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure, nor can we have control over the security of other websites on the Internet that you might visit. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you share your computer or use a computer that is accessed by the public, remember to sign off and close your browser window when you have finished your session. This will help to ensure that others cannot access your PII.
Additionally, and as you are likely aware, no system can be completely secure. Therefore, although we take commercially reasonable steps to secure your information, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your PII, searches or other communications always will remain secure.
BatchService employs security and back-up procedures designed to protect Customer Information. However, in the unlikely event there is a loss or corruption of Customer Information, BatchService is not responsible or liable for such loss or corruption. We encourage our users to retain copies of all Uploaded Information on their own system.
In the event of a breach of the confidentiality or security of your PII, we will notify you if reasonably possible and as reasonably necessary so that you can take appropriate protective steps. We may notify you under such circumstances using the e-mail address(es) we have on record for you. You should also take care with how you handle and disclose your PII. Please refer to the Federal Trade Commission’s Web Sites at http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/ for information about how to protect against identity theft.
VIII. Data Retention
We will retain personal information for a period of time consistent with the original purpose(s) for which we collected it, as described in this Privacy Notice, including, as applicable,
- for as long as we have an ongoing relationship with the individual to whom the information pertains;
- as long as needed to provide users, our customers, or our partners the Services;
- as necessary to comply with our legal obligation(s);
- as necessary to resolve disputes or to protect ourselves from potential future disputes; or
- as necessary to enforce our agreements. Retention periods will be determined considering the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information and the purpose(s) for which it was collected. After the retention period ends, we will delete the personal information. Where we are unable to do so, we will ensure that appropriate measures are put in place to prevent any further use of such information.
IX. Social Media Widgets
Our Sites includes social media features, such as the Facebook “Like” button and “Widgets,” such as the “Share” button or interactive mini programs that run on our Sites. These features may collect IP address and which page was visited on our Sites and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Sites. Interactions with these features are governed by the privacy Notice of the company providing it.

If you are using the Sites from outside the United States, please be aware that BatchService is located in the United States and your PII will be stored and processed in the United States where we locate and operate the servers and databases we use.

XX. A Consumer’s Right to Opt-Out of the Sale or Sharing of Personal Information
A consumer has the right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of that consumer’s personal information by BatchService. Consumers may opt-out of the sale of their information by contacting us at https://batchleads.io/personal-information. In order to submit a request, a consumer or an Authorized Agent will be required to demonstrate that such person has control of an email inbox associated with the profile in question. If such person cannot, then we may be contacted regarding other means of verifying such person’s identity or the authorization of a third party to exercise a consumer’s rights on that consumer’s behalf.
XXI. A Consumer’s Other CPRA Rights and Choices
The CPRA provides consumers with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes a consumer’s CPRA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.
Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights
A consumer has the right to request that we disclose certain information to that consumer about BatchService’s collection and use of that consumer’s personal information over the past twelve (12) months. Once we receive and confirm a consumer’s verifiable consumer request, we will disclose:
- The categories of personal information we collected about that consumer.
- The categories of sources from which the personal information was collected.
- Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
- The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
- The specific pieces of personal information we collected about that consumer (also called a data portability request).
Correction Request Rights
A consumer has the right to request that we correct personal information that we maintain about the consumer if it is inaccurate, taking into account the nature of the personal information and the purposes for which it is processed. Once we receive and confirm a consumer’s verifiable consumer request, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the inaccurate personal information. We may require documentation if necessary to confirm the accuracy of the requested correction. We may deny the request if:
- We determine, based on the totality of the circumstances, that the contested personal information is more likely than not accurate as maintained.
- We determine that the requested correction would be impossible or would involve disproportionate effort.
- The requested correction is in conflict with federal or state law.
- We denied the same request to correct within the past six months and the consumer has not provided additional documentation in support of the request.
- We have a good-faith, reasonable, and documented belief that the request to correct is fraudulent or abusive.
In any case, we will inform you of the action we take and, where the request has been denied, the reasons for the denial. Subject to the exceptions given below, a consumer whose request to correct has been denied may be able to exercise a right to delete the contested data.
Deletion Request Rights
A consumer has the right to request that BatchService delete any of his or her personal information that we have collected and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm a consumer’s verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers and/or customers to delete) that consumer’s personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.
We may deny a consumer’s deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers or customers to:
- Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, fulfill the terms of a product warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, provide a good or service that a consumer requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with that consumer, or otherwise perform our contract with that consumer.
- Help to ensure security and integrity to the extent the use of the consumer’s personal information is reasonably necessary and proportionate for those purposes.
- Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
- Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
- Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 seq.).
- Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research that conforms or adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the ability to complete such research, if a consumer provided informed consent.
- Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on a consumer’s relationship with us and compatible with the context in which the consumer provided the information.
- Comply with a legal obligation.
Exercising Access, Correction, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights
To exercise the access, correction, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:
- Visiting the Request Information Removal page
Only a consumer, or a natural person or business entity that a consumer authorizes to act on a consumer’s behalf (an “Authorized Agent”), may make a verifiable consumer request related to a consumer’s personal information. A consumer may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of that consumer’s minor child.
A consumer or the consumer’s Authorized Agent may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:
- Provide sufficient information that allows BatchService to reasonably verify a consumer is the person about whom we collected personal information.
- If an Authorized Agent is being used, provide sufficient proof that the consumer has provided the Authorized Agent with permission to submit the request on the consumer’s behalf, such as signed permission or a power of attorney executed pursuant to California Probate Code Sections 4121 to 4130.
- Describe a consumer’s request with sufficient detail that allows BatchService to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
- You need not create an account to make requests, but if you have an account and login with us, signing in through our portal with a password serves to verify your identity.
- Select the format in which you would like to receive your personal information. This format should be readily accessible and allow you to transport the data to others without issue.
- You will need to prove your identity to us. If you have no password-protected account with us, you will need to provide us with at least 2 data points which we already maintain about you, and possibly other information and a signed declaration under penalty of perjury if the information maintained about you is of a sensitive nature. In some cases, we might not be able to successfully verify your information and in such a case, we will notify you as to why we cannot provide it.
We cannot respond to a consumer’s or an Authorized Agent’s request or provide a consumer or Authorized Agent with personal information if we cannot verify the consumer’s or Authorized Agent’s identity and/or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to that consumer. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require a consumer to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided to us 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 the consumer of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically. 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 choose a format to provide a consumer’s personal information that is readily useable and should allow a consumer to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to a consumer’s verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell the consumer why we made that decision and provide the consumer with a cost estimate before completing that consumer’s request.
XXII. Non-Discrimination
To the extent required by the CCPA, we will not discriminate against individuals who choose to exercise any of their rights under the CCPA. Unless allowed by the CCPA, we will not:
- Deny you goods or services because you exercised your rights.
- Charge different rates or prices, impost penalties or grant differential discounts for punitive purposes.
- Provide (or suggest) those who exercise their rights different quality goods or a different level of service.
- We may, however, offer financial incentives to those who provide personal information which may result in variations in price, rates or quality depending on the value of the information provided.
- You must opt-in or provide prior written consent to participate in financial incentive programs and you may revoke this consent at any time.
We do not offer financial incentives to consumers to induce their agreement for us to sell their personal information. Rather, if you do not agree, we might not be allowed to provide your information to third parties who have the quotes, services or other information you have requested. Note that under the CCPA, the “sale” of information does not include the disclosure of information at the consumer’s request. Consumers have the right to not receive discriminatory treatment by a business for exercising their rights under the CCPA. We will not discriminate against a consumer for exercising any CCPA rights.
XXIII. Deidentified Data
To the extent BatchService may collect or process deidentified data, we will maintain and use the information in deidentified form and will not attempt to reidentify the information, except for the purpose of determining whether our deidentification processes satisfy applicable requirements.
XXIV. Data Retention
For all categories of personal information we collect, we will retain personal information for a period of time consistent with and not longer than is reasonably necessary for the original purpose(s) for which we collected it, as described in this Privacy Notice, including, as applicable, (i) for as long as we have an ongoing relationship with the individual to whom the information pertains; (ii) as long as needed to provide users, our customers, or our partners the Services; (iii) as necessary to comply with our legal obligation(s); (iv) as necessary to resolve disputes or to protect ourselves from potential future disputes; or (v) as necessary to enforce our agreements. Retention periods will be determined taking into account the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information and the purpose(s) for which it was collected. After the retention period ends, we will delete the personal information. Where we are unable to do so, we will ensure that appropriate measures are put in place to prevent any further use of such information.
XXV. Other California Privacy Rights
California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) provides California residents with the right to request information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make a request, please contact us using the contact information found at the end of this notice.
