For additional details regarding how we use your personal information, please review our primary Privacy Policy, available at https://www.fmc.com/en/privacy-policy.
Sensitive Personal Information. We do not collect, use, or disclose “sensitive personal information” beyond the purposes authorized by the CCPA. Accordingly, to the extent that we would collect this information, we would only use and disclose sensitive personal information as reasonably necessary and proportionate: (i) to perform our services requested by you; (ii) to help ensure security and integrity, including to prevent, detect, and investigate security incidents; (iii) to detect, prevent and respond to malicious, fraudulent, deceptive, or illegal conduct; (iv) to verify or maintain the quality and safety of our services; (v) for compliance with our legal obligations; (vi) to our service providers who perform services on our behalf; and (vii) for purposes other than inferring characteristics about you.
Retention. We retain the personal information we collect only as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above or otherwise disclosed to you at the time of collection. For example, we will retain your purchase information as necessary to comply with our tax, accounting and recordkeeping obligations, to provide you with the services you have requested, as well as an additional period of time as necessary to protect, defend or establish our rights, defend against potential claims, and comply with our legal obligations. In some cases, rather than delete your personal information, we may de-identify or aggregate it and use this information in compliance with the CCPA. Where we have committed to maintaining and using personal information in a deidentified form, we agree not to reidentify deidentified data except as permitted by applicable law.
Sales and Sharing of Personal Information. The CCPA defines “sale” as disclosing or making available personal information to a third party in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration, and “sharing” includes disclosing or making available personal information to a third party for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising. While we do not disclose personal information to third parties in exchange for monetary compensation, we may “sell” or “share” the following categories of personal information: identifiers, internet and network activity information, and commercial information. We may disclose these categories to third-party advertising networks, analytics providers, and social networks for purposes of marketing and advertising and to improve and measure our ad campaigns. We do not sell or share sensitive personal information, nor do we sell or share personal information about individuals we know are under age eighteen (18).
3. California Privacy Rights
The CCPA provides California residents with specific rights regarding personal information. Subject to certain conditions and exceptions, California residents have the following rights with respect to their personal information:
- Right to Know. You have the right to request: (i) the categories or personal information we collected about you; (ii) the categories of sources from which the personal information is collected; (iii) our business or commercial purposes for collecting, selling, or sharing personal information; (iv) the categories of third parties to whom we have disclosed personal information; and (v) a copy of the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.
- Right to Delete. You have the right to request that we delete personal information we have collected from you.
- Right to Correct. You have the right to request that we correct inaccuracies in your personal information.
- Right to Opt Out of Sales and Sharing. You have the right to opt out of “sales” and “sharing” of your personal information, as those terms are defined under the CCPA.
- Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information. You have the right to limit use and disclose of your sensitive personal information. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information beyond the purposes authorized by the CCPA; thus, this right is not available to California residents.
- Right to Non-Retaliation. You have the right not to be subjected to retaliatory treatment for exercising any of the rights described in this section.
Submitting CCPA Requests. California residents may exercise their CCPA privacy rights as set forth below:
- Right to Know, Delete, and Correct. California residents may submit CCPA requests to access/know, delete, and correct their personal information by:
- Using our webform https://www.fmc.com/en/contact;
- Emailing us at DataPrivacy@fmc.com; or
- Calling us toll-free at 1-855-649-8997.
When you submit a request, we will take steps to verify your identity and request by matching the information provided by you with the information we have in our records. In some cases, we may request additional information in order to verify your identity, or where necessary to process your request. If we are unable to verify your identity after a good faith attempt, we may deny the request and, if so, will explain the basis for the denial.
You may also designate someone as an authorized agent to submit requests and act on your behalf. Authorized agents will be required to provide proof of their authorization in their first communication with us, and we may also require that the relevant California resident directly verify their identity and the authority of the authorized agent.
In addition, if we detect that your browser or device is transmitting an opt-out preference signal, such as the “global privacy control” or “GPC” signal, we will opt that browser or device out of cookies that result in a “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information. If you come to our Website or use our Services from a different device or from a different browser on the same device, you will need to opt out, or use an opt-out preference signal, for that browser and/or device as well.
Your Privacy Rights Under California Shine the Light Law. Under California’s “Shine the Light” law (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.83), California residents who provide us certain personal information are entitled to request and obtain from us, free of charge, information about the personal information (if any) we have shared with third parties for their own direct marketing use. Such requests may be made once per calendar year for information about any relevant third-party sharing in the prior calendar year. To submit a “Shine the Light” request, email us at DataPrivacy@fmc.com, and include in your request, “Shine the Light” as the subject line and a current California address and your attestation that you are a California resident.
Do-Not-Track. Currently, our systems do not recognize browser “do-not-track” requests. You may, however, disable certain tracking. If you wish to prevent cookies from tracking your activity on our Website or visits across multiple websites, you can set your browser to block certain cookies or notify you when a cookie is set.
