U.S. Privacy Rights
Certain U.S. states afford residents rights with respect to their Personal Data. The rights described herein are subject to exemptions under applicable law. For purposes of this section, the term “Personal Data” includes both “Personal Information” and “Personal Data” as defined by applicable law.
If your Personal Data is subject to a privacy law in your state, you may have certain privacy rights with regard to that information. You may have the right to:
· Know, access, and confirm your Personal Data.
· Delete the Personal Data we have about you, subject to exceptions under applicable law.
· Correct inaccuracies in your Personal Data.
· Obtain your Personal Data in a portable and readily usable format.
· Opt-out of the use or processing of your Personal Data for profiling or targeted advertising.

Under certain state laws, you may also have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for the exercise of any of these privacy rights. We will not discriminate against you because you have exercised any of your rights.
Certain state laws may also provide you the right to appeal our decisions regarding your rights requests if we do not respond to your requests or do not take action regarding your requests. Additionally, if you are a resident of the state of California, you may have a right to pursue legal action for improper handling of your Personal Data.
How to Submit a Request
If you wish to exercise the rights listed above, and are a resident of a state that provides such privacy rights, you may submit a request by emailing info@lisinskifirm.com, by calling us toll-free at (800) 259-5555. We will provide your Personal Data to you in writing in a readily usable format. If you choose to submit your request via email, you must include “Privacy Rights Request” in the subject line and clearly provide us with the following information: what type of request you are making, your full name, email address, and valid physical address. You may only make one request per email.
We are required to provide you with access to your Personal Data or delete your Personal Data only in response to verifiable consumer requests.

You may be asked to provide us with information such as your home address, email address, and telephone number. We may also contact you to request additional information in relation to your request. Please promptly respond to any follow-up inquiries so that we may verify your identity. If you request that we provide you with specific pieces of information about you, or that we delete sensitive Personal Data, we may apply heightened verification standards than what we would apply to other types of requests. The information you provide must match the information we have in our possession. This measure is in place to help ensure that Personal Data is not disclosed to any person who does not have the right to receive it. The information collected through this process will be used for verification purposes only.

Deletion Rights
You may request that we delete your Personal Data that we have collected directly from you. Under applicable law, we may decline to delete your Personal Data under certain circumstances, for example, if we need the Personal Data to complete transactions or provide services you have requested or that are reasonably anticipated, for security purposes, for internal business purposes (including maintaining business records), to comply with law, or to exercise or defend legal claims.
