‍

Information

Our Privacy Policy describes how we use and share your personal information through the Services, including during the past 12 months. The Policy describes:

• The sources through which we collect California residents’ personal information and the types of personal information collected in the Personal Information We Collect section.
• The purposes for which we use and share this information in the How We Use Personal Information section and the How We Share Personal Information section.
• How users share information via Denim in the How You Share Information on Denim section of the Privacy Policy.
• Access. You can request a copy of the personal information that we maintain about you.
• Deletion. You can ask to delete the personal information that we maintain about you.

The CCPA limits these rights. For example, companies may not provide users in response to access requests certain sensitive information and other consumers’ personal information, and may exclude information that would compromise the confidentiality of trade secrets. The CCPA also places limits on when companies must comply with a deletion request.  

You are entitled to exercise the rights described above free from discrimination.

Here is how you can submit requests:

• To request access to or deletion of personal information collected, please email us at contact@denim.com or call 855.250.4142.
• To verify your identity prior to responding to your requests, we may ask you to confirm information that we have on file about you or your interactions with us. Where we ask for additional personal information to verify your identity, we will only use it to verify your identity or your authority to make the request on behalf of another consumer.
• Authorized agents. California residents can empower an “authorized agent” to submit requests on their behalf. We will require authorized agents to confirm their identity and authority, in accordance with the CCPA.
