Your California Privacy Rights
If you live in the State of California, under the California
Civil Code, you have the right to request that companies who conduct business
in California provide you with a list of all third parties to which the company
has disclosed Personal Information during the preceding year for direct
marketing purposes.
Alternatively, the law provides that if a company has a Privacy
Policy that gives either an opt-out (often referred to as “unsubscribe”) or
opt-in choice for use of your Personal Information by third parties (such as
advertisers or affiliated companies) for marketing purposes, that the company
may instead provide you with information on how to exercise your disclosure
choice options.
This Site qualifies for the alternative option; it has a
comprehensive Privacy Policy and provides you with details on how you may
either opt-out or opt-in to the use of your Personal Information by third parties
for direct marketing purposes. Therefore, we are not required to maintain or
disclose a list of the third parties that received your Personal Information
for marketing purposes during the preceding year.
If you are a California resident and want to request information
about how to exercise your third party disclosure choices, you must send a
request to the following address with a preference on how our response to your
request should be sent (email or postal mail). Please send an email to the
Privacy Administrator at contract@getwisdom.com, or you may contact us via
regular mail at:
GetWisdom.com LLC
714 E. Diggins St.
Harvard, Illinois 60033
All requests sent via regular mail must be labeled “Your
California Privacy Rights” on the envelope or post card and clearly stated on
the actual request. For all requests, please include your name, street address,
city, state, and zip code. Please include your zip code for our own
recordkeeping.
We do not accept requests via the telephone or by facsimile. We are
not responsible for notices that are not labeled or sent properly, or do not
have complete information.
