We maintain what we believe to be industry standard technical, physical and administrative security procedures and practices to protect your PII against unauthorized access, disclosure, destruction, use, alteration, or disclosure.

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) provides you certain rights and choices regarding how we collect, share, use, and protect your “personal information” and how you can exercise those rights. The CCPA defines “personal information” as information that identifies, relates to, describes, or is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household.
We do not share or sell “personal information,” nor have we sold it, in the last 12 months.
Certain information that we collect may be exempt from the CCPA because it is considered public information or covered by financial privacy laws, such as the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act, the California Financial Information Privacy Act, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
To the extent that we collect “personal information” that is subject to the CCPA, that information, our practices, and your rights are described below.
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, California residents have the right to:
You may submit a CCPA request by providing your first name, last name, email address, telephone number and ZIP code via one of the following methods:
We will not discriminate against you because you exercise any of the rights as described in this section.

We do not sell “personal information” of Nevada residents, but, if you are a Nevada resident who has questions or who wants to make this type of request, please send your email to (info@charmsolutions.ai).
