8. For US Residents (Including California Privacy Rights)

Depending on your state of residence, the nature of our data processing, and whether the relevant law applies to Sharkjm, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These rights may include the rights described below.

Your Rights: Where the CCPA applies to Sharkjm and you are a California resident, your rights may include the following:

Right to Know: You have the right to request that we disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources from which the information was collected, the business or commercial purpose for collecting the information, and the categories of third parties with whom we share the information.
Right to Delete: You have the right to request that we delete any personal information we have collected about you, subject to certain exceptions (e.g., to complete a transaction, detect security incidents, or comply with legal obligations).
Right to Correct: You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal information we hold about you.
Right to Opt-Out: Where applicable under US state privacy laws, you may have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information or the use of personal information for targeted advertising.
Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights.

"Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information"
Where applicable under US state privacy laws, you may have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. You may do so by:

Using the privacy controls provided on our website.
Contacting us at info@sharkjm.shop with "Privacy Request" in the subject line.

Identity Verification and Response Times:
We may need to verify your identity before processing a request to know, access, delete, or correct personal information, where verification is permitted or required by applicable law.

We do not require identity verification for a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. However, we may request limited information reasonably necessary to identify the consumer or browser to which the opt-out request applies.

Where the CCPA applies, we will process a request to opt out of sale or sharing as soon as reasonably feasible and no later than 15 business days.

We will generally respond to verified requests to know, access, delete, or correct within 45 calendar days, subject to any extension permitted by applicable law.

10. International Data Transfers

We may transfer your personal data to countries outside the UK (such as the United States, where our analytics and advertising partners are based). Where a restricted international transfer occurs, we use an applicable adequacy regulation or appropriate safeguards, such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, together with any required transfer risk assessment.

11. Data Security

We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from accidental loss, unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure. However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
