YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

If you are a resident of California, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”).

Right to know

The law permits our users who are California residents to access and obtain in a portable format from us, up to twice a year and free of charge, information about the categories or specific pieces of personal information we collected, used, sold or disclosed to third parties in the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period.

Right to delete

You have the right to request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exemptions provided for by law.

Right to opt-out

You have the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information. Alamo Group does not make your personal information available for purchase or otherwise share your information in exchange for money. Alamo Group may share your personal information (including your Contact Information, Technical Information, Commercial Information, and Relationship Information) with social media platforms and other advertising partners to match and serve our targeted advertisements. This sharing may be considered a “sale” under the CCPA’s broad definition. You can opt out of our sharing of your personal information for targeted advertising purposes by clicking here or calling us at 1-877-214-8864.

Right to be free from discrimination for exercising your rights

You have the right to be free from discrimination related to the exercise of any of your CCPA rights.

How can you submit requests for your Right to know, Right to delete or Right to opt-out?

If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please submit your request directly in one of two ways:

Submit the form at this link; or
Call us (toll free) at: 1-877-214-8864.

We will take reasonable steps to verify the authenticity of the request.

We may ask you to log into your account if you have one.
If you do not have an account, we may ask you to match pieces of personal information that we maintain about you to a reasonable or high degree of certainty depending upon whether you request the categories of personal information we may have about you or the specific pieces of personal information that we may have about you.
If you are requesting specific pieces of personal information collected about you, then you may be asked to include a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that the requestor is the consumer whose personal information is the subject of the request. We will maintain all signed declarations as part of our record-keeping obligations.
If there is no reasonable way to verify your identity, or there is another reason we are unable to honor your request, we will inform you and provide you with any information that we are able to provide in accordance with the law.

AGENT

California residents may submit a request for their Right to Know, Right to Delete, and Right to Opt-out of the Sale of Personal Information directly or through an authorized agent.

Authorized agents may submit a request by calling our toll free number 1-877-214-8864 or emailing us at privacy@alamo-group.com.

For requests received from an agent on behalf of another person, please be prepared to provide proof, such as signed written permission, that agent is authorized to submit a request on that person’s behalf. We may also require the person to independently verify their identity with us and provide proof that they are a registered agent with the state of California.

In order to protect personal information from unauthorized access or deletion, we may request information to verify the authenticity of the request. If we cannot verify identity, we will not provide or delete personal information.
