Specifically, we are not required to delete any Personal Information we have collected about you that is necessary for us and our service provider(s) to:

- Comply with a legal obligation, such as retaining records for a period of time as set out in local, state, or federal laws.

However, if at a later time, you wish to allow us to sell your Personal Information to third parties, you must opt-in to such sharing, and may be do so by contacting us at 1-855-371-8844. If a transaction requires the sale or transmission of your Personal Information in order to complete the transaction, we will notify you and provide instructions on how you can opt-in.

E. Exercising your California privacy rights
You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your CCPA rights. To exercise the CCPA rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:
Calling us at 1-855-371-8844 or through our online request portal.
Only you, the person to whom you have given power of attorney, or an otherwise authorized agent registered with the California Secretary of State, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information. However, you may make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. Additionally, you may only make a verifiable consumer request for access twice within a 12-month period.
Your verifiable consumer request must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative. 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. While we may ask for Personal Information to verify the requestor or consumer’s identity when making a request, we will only use that Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
F. Response timing and format
We will make our best effort 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. Within 10 days of receiving the request, we will confirm receipt and provide information about our verification and processing of the request. Azulón will maintain records of consumer requests made pursuant to CCPA as well as our response to said requests for a period of at least 24 months.
If you have an account with us, we may require you to take delivery of our written response through that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response electronically, though you may alternatively choose to receive delivery by mail. The response will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. Requests for the specific pieces of information that we have collected about you will be sent in a portable, readily useable format that you may transmit 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.
G. Your rights under “Shine the Light”
California residents who have provided Personal Information to a business may be entitled by law to request certain information regarding the businesses’ disclosure of their Personal Information to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes (“Disclosure Request”). Please note, however, that Azulón has adopted a policy of not sharing your Personal Information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes if you request that we do not do so (“Opt-Out Policy”). Due to this Opt-Out Policy, we are entitled by law to respond to your Disclosure Request by notifying you of your right to prevent the disclosure of your Personal information pursuant to our Opt-Out Policy.
To make an opt-out request send us an email at info@azulonapts.com. When contacting us, please indicate your name, address, email address, and what Personal Information you do not want us to share with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. Please note that there is no charge for controlling the sharing of your Personal Information or for processing this request.
