Rights of Users in California, Nevada, Australia, the United Kingdom and the European Union
Becky Rashidifard operates its technology from servers located in the United States and the information it collects through clients is processed solely in the United States. Laws governing the collection and use of data in the United States may not be equivalent to those in the country where you reside, but Becky Rashidifard will at all times protect your data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

If you live in California, you have certain rights related to accessing and deleting your data, as well as learning who we share your data with.  If you live in Australia, you have the right to make a formal complaint with the appropriate government agency. Users outside of the United States should note that we transfer data to the US and other areas outside of the European Economic Area. 

  1. Users in California 
Users who are California residents have certain rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, (“CCPA”). If you are an eligible California user, included in these rights are: 

  • “Right to Know” — You have the right to request to know more about the categories and specific pieces of personal information that we have collected about you and access a copy of your personal information. 
  • “Right to Correction” — You have the right to have inaccurate personal information about you corrected. 
  • “Right to Deletion” — You have the right to request deletion of personal information that we have collected about you. 
  • “Right to Non-Discrimination” — If you choose to exercise any of your rights under CCPA, Becky Rashidifard will treat you like all other users. In other words, there is no penalty for exercising your rights under CCPA. 
  • “Right to Opt-Out” - You have the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information. 
CCPA has a specific definition of a “sale” and while Becky Rashidifard does not, in the traditional sense, sell your personal information or the personal information of any of our users, we do use cookies that make non-personally identifiable information available to select third-parties. To opt out of such a “sale,” click on the “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” link on our website’s home page. 

To exercise any of these rights under CCPA, please email [email protected]. CCPA allows you to designate an authorized agent to make these requests on your behalf. For your protection, we may require that the request be sent through the email address associated with your account, and we may need to verify you and/or your agent’s identity before fulfilling your request. 

Additionally, for more information about the personal information we collect and how we collect it, please see the section above entitled “Information Collection and Use”.

To learn about the business and commercial purposes for which your personal information is collected and the categories of service providers who have access to your personal information, please see the section above entitled “Information Sharing and Disclosure.” 

As a California resident, you also have the right to request certain details about what personal information we share with third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes. To submit your request, send an email to [email protected] with the phrase “California Shine the Light” and include your mailing address, state of residence, and email address. 

Since there is no widely accepted standard for the browser-initiated Do Not Track signal, we do not currently recognize or respond to Do Not Track signals. 

  1. Users in Nevada 
Becky Rashidifard does not sell its users’ personal information or personal data. Nonetheless, Nevada residents have the right to submit a request that we do not sell your covered personal information, which you can do by emailing [email protected]

You may contact our privacy team at [email protected] to make a complaint about a breach of the Australian Privacy Principles which will be responded to within 30 days. 

  1. Users in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and United Kingdom (“UK”) 
If you are located in the EEA or UK, you have the right to request access to your data in a portable format and to request the rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, or objection to processing of your personal data. You also have the right to obtain a free copy of the Standard Contractual Clauses referenced in the next paragraph.

Personal data is also processed outside of the UK, Switzerland, and the EEA by Becky Rashidifard, or our service providers, including to process transactions, facilitate payments, and provide support services as described above. We use Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission to facilitate transfers of personal data from the EEA to third countries and have entered into data processing agreements with our service providers to restrict and regulate their processing of your data. By submitting your data or using our services, webinars, applications, educational and instructional programs and materials, you consent to this transfer, storage, and processing by Becky Rashidifard and its processors.
