1.1 SOCIAL MEDIA
Some of this information is collected from your use of, and interactions with, us and others on social media. Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through LIFE WEAR TECHNOLOGIES operated public message boards or on third-party social media sites, such information may be collected and used by others. We are not responsible for the personal information that you choose to submit or link on any social media. We encourage you to review the privacy policies and settings of any third-party social media services that you interact with.
1.2 INFORMATION AUTOMATICALLY COLLECTED
LIFE WEAR TECHNOLOGIES websites work with a first-party cookie that collects anonymous traffic data, a form of aggregate information. “Cookies” are simple text files stored on your computer for use by a browser. LIFE WEAR TECHNOLOGIES may use Cookies to assist in data collection and to track visitor website usage and trends to help us better serve you. If you reject Cookies, you will still be able to view our websites, but your ability to use some features of the Services will be limited. Some of our service providers (e.g., analytical tracking software providers) use Cookies and similar tracking technologies on our websites. We have no access to or control over third-party collection of Cookies or similar tracking technologies.
We may also use Cookies, pixels, beacons, or other web tracking technologies to track the amount of time spent on our websites or social media and whether or not certain content, such as a video, was viewed. We may work with a trusted third party to collect and process this information for us, based on our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy Policy.
When you visit our website, we automatically collect the name of the website you visited from (called the “referring page”) and the name of the website you chose to visit immediately after ours (called the “exit page”), and information about other third-party websites you have recently visited. This information is used to improve our Services, but we cannot identify you from any information we receive from Cookies. Some browsers have a “do not track” feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. These features are not yet uniform, and our websites are not currently set up to respond to those signals for tracking on our websites.
1.3 PARTICIPATION IN INTEREST-BASED ADVERTISING
LIFE WEAR TECHNOLOGIES may also participate in interest-based advertising using similar tracking technology. This means that you may see advertising on our websites tailored to how you browse or shop, or you may see advertising for LIFE WEAR TECHNOLOGIES and its properties on other websites based on your browsing behavior across websites. Some websites where we may advertise belong to advertising networks that use your web browsing history to choose which ads to display on their network websites; these ads may include advertising for LIFE WEAR TECHNOLOGIES and its websites, but we do not share personal information about you with those third-party advertising networks. Other websites where you see our ads, such as Facebook, may use interest preferences that you have chosen on those sites, as well as registration and other information about you, to choose which ads to display to you. Some internet browsers, websites such as Facebook, and mobile devices offer opt-outs for interest-based advertising. Please refer to the website that you are visiting, your browser and/or your device settings for additional information.
1.4 EXTERNAL LINKS
Occasionally LIFE WEAR TECHNOLOGIES will offer links to other third-party websites (“Linked Services”). LIFE WEAR TECHNOLOGIES encourages you to review the privacy policies and terms of use for any Linked Services you interact with through the Services so that you can understand how those third parties collect, use, and share your information. LIFE WEAR TECHNOLOGIES is not responsible for the privacy policies or other content of the Linked Services, and the Linked Services may collect personally identifiable information from you that is not subject to our control.

2.2 INFORMATION SHARING PRACTICES
When we disclose personal information for a Business Purpose, we work with our service providers to ensure that your personal information is processed only as needed to fulfill the Business Purpose. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to LIFE WEAR TECHNOLOGIES, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality and privacy of your information.
LIFE WEAR TECHNOLOGIES does not sell, rent, or lease your personally identifiable information to third parties.

As with any other business, it is possible that in the future LIFE WEAR TECHNOLOGIES could merge with or be purchased by another company. If LIFE WEAR TECHNOLOGIES is acquired, the company that acquires us would have access to the information maintained by us, including personally identifiable information, but would continue to be bound by this Privacy Policy unless and until it is amended.

Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.
We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) or vendor(s) to:
- Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you.

4.7 EXERCISING YOUR RIGHTS
To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by:
Phone:877-833-3324
Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.
You may only make such a request for access or data portability twice within a twelve-month period. The verifiable consumer request must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative, and describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
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 relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to ninety (90) days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response electronically. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the twelve (12) month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
4.8 NON-DISCRIMINATION
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:
- Deny you goods or services.
- Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
- Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
- Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
