Husqvarna Privacy Notice for California Residents

This Privacy Notice for California Residents supplements the information in our U.S. Privacy Policy, and applies solely to individuals who reside in the State of California ("consumers", “business partners” or "you") as of January 1, 2020. We are providing this notice to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) and the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020  (“CPRA”).  Any terms defined in the CCPA/CPRA will have the same meaning when used in this notice.
 
Please see the U.S. Privacy Policy for information about the categories of information we collect, why we collect your information, how we collect and use your information, types of third parties with whom we share your information, and for what purposes your information is shared.

CCPA Rights for California Residents

Opt-out. You have the right to opt-out of the following uses of your information:

  • The “sale” of your Personal Information, as defined by applicable law.
  • Targeted or cross-contextual behavioral advertising.
  • Profiling.

In addition, if you direct us not to sell your Personal Information, we will consider it a request pursuant to California’s “Shine the Light” law to stop sharing your Personal Information covered by that law with third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

  • Deletion. You have the right to request that we delete the Personal Information that we have collected about you.

  • The categories of sources from which we collected Personal Information.
  • The business or commercial purpose for collecting and/or selling Personal Information.

  • Whether we have disclosed your Personal Information for a business purpose, and if so, the categories of Personal Information received by each category of third-party recipient.
  • Whether we have sold your Personal Information, and if so, the categories of Personal Information received by each category of third-party recipient.

You are entitled to exercise your CCPA and CPRA privacy rights described above free from discrimination in the form of legally prohibited increases in the price or decreases in the quality of our services.

How to Exercise Your Rights

You may request to exercise your California privacy rights as described in the U.S. Privacy Policy above or using the information provided in Contact Us below. You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your rights.

We are happy to process your privacy rights requests. We will process all non-verifiable requests consistent with the requirements of the CCPA and our internal processes.

Verifiable requests will only be processed after we have confirmed your identity and validated that you reside in California. As part of this process, if we require verification to process your request, we will first attempt to do so by comparing the information within your request to the information we have on record. If we are unable to verify your identity after this comparison, we will contact you to request additional verification, as permitted by law. If you are unable to verify your identity after we contact you for additional verification, we reserve the right to deny your rights request, consistent with applicable law.

Consistent with the CCPA, you may also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. If you designate an authorized agent to make a verifiable rights request on your behalf, in addition to the verification methods described above, we will require the agent provide us with a written instrument demonstrating you have authorized them to act on your behalf.

For all verifiable requests, we will only require verification in compliance with the CCPA and in proportion to any potential risk to you from complying with the request.

For all requests, we cannot process your request if you do not provide us with sufficient detail to allow us to understand and respond to it.

If you are somehow affiliated with us, in that perhaps you are an employee, vendor, contractor, or hold any other position for or within the Company, and you reside in California, you may exercise your CCPA rights using the methods detailed in this section. Note that privacy rights requests are not the mechanism through which you may request human resource-related information or other (examples include payroll, PTO, benefits, contract information); therefore, we cannot provide you such information, but we will process your privacy rights request in the same manner that we would for any other California Resident. Requesting to exercise your CCPA and CPRA privacy rights will not change the affiliation you have with us in any way.

Your California privacy rights are not absolute, and in certain cases we may decline your request as permitted by law. For example, we may deny privacy rights requests if there is any suspected malice, including any which may be deceptive, fraudulent, illegal, or pose a security threat. We may also deny requests related to legal or criminal matters, or if they are related to any in-progress transactions or purchases. You may appeal a denial of your privacy rights request as provided in our Privacy Policy above.

Response Time

We will acknowledge requests to Know, Correct, or Delete within 10 days of receiving your request. We will strive to respond to your request with the information you want to know or the detail of the information that we have deleted, within forty-five (45) days of receipt of your initial request. If we require more time, we will explain why an extension is necessary and the additional time needed, but no more than an additional 45 days to process the request. If we cannot comply with your request, we will explain why.

If you have an account with us and you submitted your request through the account, we will deliver our written response to your account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

We do not ordinarily charge a fee to process or respond to your request, but if we determine that the request warrants a fee, i.e., because your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character, we will tell you why and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Opt-Out Rights

As noted in our Privacy Policy above, our Services are not intended for individuals under the age of 18 years old. Accordingly, we do not sell the personal information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of age, unless we receive affirmative authorization from either the consumer that is between 13 and 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years of age upon the parent or guardian providing sufficient evidence to verify such authority. Consumers that opt-in to personal information sales may opt-out of future sales at any time. If you are 16 years of age or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell your personal information at any time or may have your authorized agent do so on your behalf, by submitting the form at the link below:

  • Complete CCPA Request Form here
  • Once you make an opt-out request, we will act upon your request within 15 days of our receipt of your request.

Only you, or a person acting as an agent (once we are provided with sufficient information to confirm that you authorized that person to act on your behalf) can make a request related to your personal information. You may also make a request on behalf of your minor child.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information that relates to you.

Making a request does not require you to create an account with us. However, we do consider requests made through your 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 request to verify your identity or the authority of your agent to make the request.
