4. CALIFORNIA CONSUMER’S RIGHTS REGARDING PERSONAL INFORMATION

The CCPA provides Consumers with specific rights regarding their Personal Information. This section describes such rights and explains how to exercise them.

a. Right to Request Deletion of Personal Information

Consumer has the right to request that Company deletes any of their Personal Information that Company collected and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once Company receives and confirms a Consumer request, Company will delete Consumer Personal Information from its records and direct its service providers, if applicable, to delete Consumer Personal Information from their records, unless an exception below applies. Company may deny deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

1) Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that consumer requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with consumer, or otherwise perform our contract with consumer.
2) Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities. 
3) Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
4) Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
5) Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et seq.).
6) Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on relationship with us.
7) Comply with a legal obligation.
8) Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which consumer provided it.

b. Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights

Consumer has the right to request that we disclose certain information about our collection and use of consumer personal information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm a consumer request we will disclose to consumer:

1) The categories of collected personal information
2) The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about consumer.
3) Our business or commercial purpose for collecting that personal information.
4) The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
5) The specific pieces of personal information we collected (also called a data portability request).
6) If we sold or disclosed personal information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing: (i) sales, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and (ii) disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.

c. Exercising Consumer Rights

Consumer may exercise the abovementioned rights by submitting a verifiable request to us by:

• Filling the online form available here;
• Writing an email to privacy-compliance@cnhind.com; or
• Calling us at the following toll-free numbers: 877-422-7344 (preferred contact for Case IH Consumers); 866-639-4563 (preferred contact for New Holland Consumers); 866-542-2736 (preferred contact for Case CE Consumers).

Only a specific Consumer, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that Consumer authorizes to act on their behalf, may make a verifiable Consumer request related to their Personal Information. Consumer may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of their minor child. The Company is not obligated to provide information to a Consumer pursuant to a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability more than twice (2x) within a twelve (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 Agent. Before completing your request to exercise the below, we will verify that the request came from you by matching at least two of the Personal Information provided by the Consumer with the personal information already maintained by the Company, which the Company has determined to be reliable for the purpose of verifying the Consumer.
• describe request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We are unable to fulfill Consumers’ request or provide them with Personal Information if we cannot verify their identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to a specific Consumer. With few exceptions, we will only fulfill a request from Consumer’s Authorized Agent if (a) Consumer grants the Authorized Agent written permission to make a request on their behalf, (b) Consumer or the Authorized Agent provides us notice of that written permission, and (c) we are able to verify Consumer’s identity in connection with that notice and the request. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require the Consumer to create an account with us. However, we do consider requests made through a Consumer’s password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to Personal Information associated with that specific account.

We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

d. 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 Consumer of the reason and extension period in writing.

If Consumer has an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If not, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically. 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 Consumer Personal Information that is readily useable and should allow Consumer to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to verifiable Consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell Consumer why we made that decision and provide Consumer with a cost estimate before completing request.

e. Right to Non-Discrimination for the Exercise of a Consumer’s Privacy Rights

We will not discriminate against consumer for exercising any of their rights. Unless permitted by applicable laws, we will not: (a) Deny goods or services; (b) Charge different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties; (c) Provide a different level or quality of goods or services; and (d) Suggest that consumer 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 consumer certain financial incentives that are permitted and may result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to consumer personal information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires consumer prior opt in consent, which they may revoke at any time.
