Links to Other Sites

Our Privacy Policy is designed to advise you about how we collect, use, protect, and disclose the information that we collect and/or receive about you. However, our Websites may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. Please note that this Privacy Policy does not govern the practices of third parties, including our partners, third party service providers, and/or advertisers, even when those services are branded as, or provided on behalf of, Autura.  Information collected from you by others, such as third party websites that you access through links on the Websites, are governed by those entities’ privacy policies.  If you click a third party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site.  We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.

Children’s Privacy

All of our Services, including our Websites, are intended for adult audiences, and are not meant to address anyone under the age of 18 (“Children”).  As such, Children under 18 may not use our Websites or any other Services.  If you are under 18, do not attempt to register for or use any of our Services, including our Websites, and do not provide us any Personal Information about yourself.

We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from anyone under the age of 18.  If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has violated this Privacy Policy and provided us with Personal Information, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Information from children without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our servers.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time.  While we reserve the right to make changes to our Privacy Policy at any time and at our sole discretion, we will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.  We will let you know via a prominent notice on our Website prior to any material changes becoming effective, and will update the “effective date” at the top of this Privacy Policy.  You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.

Submitting a Verifiable Request Regarding Exercise of Your Rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act

As mentioned above, California residents have certain rights to access, delete, or otherwise exercise rights regarding their Personal Information under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”).  Autura will respond to an individual’s “verifiable request” to exercise his or her rights under the CCPA – that is, where Autura has received a request purporting to be from a particular individual, and Autura has been able to verify the individual’s identity.  The need to verify an individual’s identity is critical to protecting your information, and to ensuring that your information is not shared with anyone pretending to be you or someone who is not authorized to act on your behalf.

You may submit a verifiable request via our request webform and our toll-free number, listed in the “Contact Us” section below.  Autura will ask you to provide information about yourself so that we can verify your identity as part of this process.  This information may include your name, your address, information related to your vehicle, and any other information deemed necessary by Autura to reasonably verify your identity, to ensure that your information is not shared with anyone impersonating you. Once we have your submission, we will compare the information you provided to the information we have about you to verify your identity.   Once we have verified your identity, we will work to fulfill your request in a timely manner.  Please note there may be some situations in which we are unable to fulfill your request, such as if we cannot find any information about you within our systems.  Additionally, we may not be able to honor a deletion request in some situations, such as if your information is necessary to your relationship with us or meet a legal obligation.  We will inform you whether we can fulfill your rights request.

We may ask for additional information if we have difficulty confirming your identity.  We will not share your information or honor other requests in those situations where we are unable to confirm that a request for your information is a “verifiable request.” We will not be able to process your request if we cannot verify your identity. 

Under California law a California resident can appoint an “authorized agent” to make certain verifiable requests upon their behalf, such as the right to know what information we collect about the consumer or to request deletion of the consumer’s information.  An authorized agent may submit a request by following the steps outlined above.  An authorized agent must identify the consumer he or she is submitting a request on behalf of, and provide the information requested by Autura to verify the consumer’s identity.  Autura will also require the purported authorized agent to submit proof that he or she has been authorized by the consumer to act on the consumer’s behalf. 

Because the security and privacy of your information is paramount, we will ask that you identify and provide permission in writing for such persons to act as your authorized agent and exercise your applicable rights under California law in such situations.  This may require us to contact you directly and alert you that an individual has claimed to be your agent and is attempting to access or delete your information.  We will also independently verify your identity to ensure that an unauthorized person is not attempting to impersonate you and exercise your rights without authorization.  We will not share your information or honor any other requests in those situations where you cannot or do not grant permission in writing for an identified authorized agent to act on your behalf, or where we cannot independently verify your identity.
