In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, Pep Promotions may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries.

Use of Cookies

The Pep Promotions website uses "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Pep Promotions pages, or register with Pep Promotions site or services, a cookie helps Pep Promotions to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Pep Promotions website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Pep Promotions features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Pep Promotions services or websites you visit.

Security of your Personal Information

Pep Promotions secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Pep Promotions secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

California Consumer Privacy Rights

The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) provides California consumers specific rights concerning their personal information, including, the right to request that Pep Promotions disclose what personal information Pep Promotions collects, uses, discloses, and sells. This section describes your rights and how you may exercise those rights as well as describes how Pep Promotions and third parties handle your personal information.

You or your authorized agent can request: 1) a disclosure of your personal information Pep Promotions collects, uses, discloses, or sells; 2) to delete your personal information Pep Promotions collects, or maintains; and 3) to opt-out of the sale of your personal information. If you choose to submit a request through an authorized agent, Pep Promotions will require proof that the authorized agent has your written permission to submit a request on your behalf. Additionally, Pep Promotions may require you to verify your identity with Pep Promotions through the verification process detailed below.

If you choose to exercise these rights, Pep Promotions will not discriminate against you because of it. However, Pep Promotions 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 Pep Promotions offer will reasonably relate to your personal information's value and will be described to you in writing. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt-in consent, which you may revoke at any time.

You have the right to request that Pep Promotions disclose certain information to you about Pep Promotions’ collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. Once Pep Promotions receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, Pep Promotions will disclose to you:

  • The categories of personal information Pep Promotions collected about you.
  • The categories of sources for the personal information Pep Promotions collected about you.
  • Pep Promotions’ business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
  • The categories of third parties with whom Pep Promotions shares that personal information.
  • The specific pieces of personal information Pep Promotions collected about you.
  • If Pep Promotions sold or disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing:
    • sales, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and
    • disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.

You also have the right to request that Pep Promotions delete any of your personal information that Pep Promotions collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once Pep Promotions receives and confirms your verifiable consumer request to delete, Pep Promotions will delete (and direct Pep Promotions’ service providers to delete) your personal information from Pep Promotions’ records, unless an exception applies.

You may submit a request to know or request to delete, free of charge, online through Pep Promotions’ interactive web form https://www.peppromotions.com/Contact-Us , or   through Pep Promotions’ phone number 513-826-0101 or in-person at applicable events. Note that for requests to delete, Pep Promotions will require you to separately confirm that you want your personal information deleted. To verify your identity, Pep Promotions may require you provide your name, email and/or address. For some requests, Pep Promotions may also require you to sign a declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the consumer whose personal information is the subject of the request. Once submitted, you will receive an email within 10 days that Pep Promotions will use to verify your identity and provide confirmation of your request. Pep Promotions will respond to your request to know or request to delete within 45 days from the day Pep Promotions receives the request. If necessary, Pep Promotions may extend the time period to a maximum total of 90 days from the day Pep Promotions receives the request. In such case, you will receive an email notifying you of the extension and explaining the reason for the extension. Any disclosure in response to a request to know will cover the 12-month period preceding Pep Promotions’ receipt of the request and will be delivered in a readily useable format, by mail or electronically at your option.

Your request to know or request to delete may be denied for any reason allowable under the CCPA. For example, Pep Promotions may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for Pep Promotions or Pep Promotions’ service provider(s) to:

  • Complete the transaction for which Pep Promotions collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of Pep Promotions’ ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform Pep Promotions’ contract with you.
  • 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 or any other purpose permitted by the CCPA.

Similarly, Pep Promotions may deny requests:

  • For specific pieces of personal information if the disclosure creates a substantial, articulable, and unreasonable risk to the security of that personal information, your account with Pep Promotions, or the security of Pep Promotions’ systems or networks.
  • To access or delete information that is de-identified.
  • If your identity cannot be verified to a degree of certainty required by the CCPA.
  • From an authorized agent that does not submit proof that they have been authorized by the consumer to act on the consumer’s behalf.

Pep Promotions does not, and will not, sell your personal information. However, generally speaking, if you are 16 years of age or older, you have the right to opt-out from a sale of your personal information by a business. A business cannot sell the personal information of consumers it actually knows are less than 16 years of age, unless it receives affirmative authorization (the "right to opt-in") from either the consumer who is between 13 and less than 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years of age. Consumers who opt-in to personal information sales may opt-out of future sales at any time.
