Any terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this Privacy Notice.
Where noted in this Policy, the CCPA temporarily exempts Personal Information as defined in the
Information We Collect below, reflecting a written or verbal business-to-business communication
(“B2B Personal Information”) from some its requirements.
Information We Collect

being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular

business purposes:
- To fulfill or meet the reason for which the information is provided.

- To provide You with email alerts and other notices concerning the Site.

is among the assets transferred.
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.
Sharing Personal Information
We may disclose Your Personal Information to a third party for a business purpose. When We
disclose Personal Information for a business purpose, We enter a contract that describes the
purpose and requires the recipient to both keep that Personal Information confidential and not
use it for any purpose except performing the contract.
In the preceding twelve (12) months, We have disclosed Personal Information for a business
purpose. In addition, in the preceding twelve (12) months, We have not sold any Personal
Information.
We do not sell Your Personal Information.
Your Rights and Choices
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.
Access to Specific Information 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:
- The categories of Personal Information We collected about You.
- Our business or commercial purpose for collecting that Personal Information.
- The categories of third parties with whom We share that Personal Information.
- The specific pieces of Personal Information We collected about You (also called a data
portability request).
Deletion Request Rights
You have the right to request that We delete any of Your Personal Information We collected from
You and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once W 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.
We may deny Your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for Us or Our service
providers to:
- Complete the transaction for which We collected the Personal Information, provide a good or
service that You requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of Our
ongoing business relationship with You, or otherwise perform Our contract with You.
- Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal
activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
- 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 et seq.).
- Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the
public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the
information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s
achievement, if You previously provided informed consent.
- Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with Consumer expectations based on
Your relationship with Us.
- Comply with a legal obligation.
- Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context
in which You provided it.
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 email at compliance@ineteng.com.
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:
- Provide sufficient information that allows Us to reasonably verify You are the person about
whom We collected Personal Information or an authorized representative.
- Describe Your request with sufficient detail that allows 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 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 do not provide a right to access, data portability, or deletion rights for B2B Personal
Information.
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 the
registered email associated with the 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.
Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against You for exercising any of Your CCPA rights. Unless
permitted by the CCPA, We will not:
- Deny You use of this Site.
- Provide You a different level or quality of service when using the Site.
- Provide You a different level or quality of goods or services.
- Suggest that You may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different
level or quality of goods or services.
However, We may offer You certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in
different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive We
offer will reasonably relate to Your Personal Information’s value and contain written
terms that describe the program's material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive
program requires Your prior opt-in consent, which You may revoke at any time.
Other California Privacy Rights
California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits
Users that are California residents to request certain information regarding Our disclosure of
Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a
request, please send an email to compliance@ineteng.com.
