California residents may have additional Personal Information rights and choices. Please see YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS below for more information.

YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

If you are a California resident, California law may provide you with additional rights regarding Stork Advisor’s use of your Personal Information under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). Depending on the circumstances and which Services you use, Stork Advisor® has disclosed the following categories of your Personal Information for a “business purpose” (as defined in the CCPA) in the preceding twelve (12) months: identifiers; protected characteristics; commercial information; geolocation data; internet or other electronic network activity information; financial, medical, or health insurance information; audio, electronic, visual, thermal, olfactory, or similar information; professional information; education information; and inferences drawn from any of the aforementioned information categories. For more details about the Personal Information Stork Advisor® has collected over the last 12 months, please see the WHAT INFORMATION IS COLLECTED? section above. Stork Advisor® collects this information for, among other things, the business and commercial purposes described in the HOW DOES Stork Advisor® USE THE INFORMATION IT COLLECTS? section below. Stork Advisor® shares this information with, among others, the categories of third parties described in the HOW Stork Advisor® SHARES AND DISCLOSES YOUR INFORMATION section below.

Stork Advisor® does not “Sell” (as such term is defined in the CCPA) the Personal Information it collects but may in the future. The CCPA considers some transfers of Personal Information to third parties in exchange for value as a “Sale,” even if no money changes hands, such as when online identifiers, Device IDs, and other information is shared with third-party businesses to further their own commercial purposes such as generating profiles about individuals. In the event Stork Adviser decides to Sell your Personal Information, California residents have the right to opt-out of the Sale. Please note that Stork Advisor® can still share Personal Information with third parties if those transfers aren’t “sales,” such as with Stork Advisor’s Service Providers (as defined in the CCPA). Additionally, Stork Advisor® may use third-party cookies for advertising purposes as further described above.

Subject to certain limitations, the CCPA permits Users of the Services that are California residents to (i) request more information regarding Stork Advisor’s collection of specific categories or pieces of information (including how Stork Advisor® uses and discloses the information), (ii) request that Stork Advisor® delete your Personal Information (iii) request to opt out of any “sales” that may be occurring, and (iv) not be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights.

California residents may make such a request pursuant to their rights under the CCPA by sending an email to office@storkadvisor.com. Stork Advisor® will verify your request using the information associated with your account, including email address. Government identification may be required. California residents may also designate an authorized agent to exercise these rights on their behalf. To learn more about your California privacy rights email office@storkadvisor.com or visit https://www.caprivacy.org.

California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits users of the Services that are California residents to request certain information regarding Stork Advisor’s disclosure of Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send an email to office@storkadvisor.com or write to Stork Advisor® at the address below.

Additional non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.

Business Transfers

As Stork Advisor® continues to grow and develop its business, it is possible that its corporate structure might change or that it might merge or otherwise combine with, or that substantially all of its assets might be acquired by, another company. In any such transactions, customer information generally is, will most probably be, and should be expected to be one of the transferred business assets.

In addition to the uses mentioned or described above, Stork Advisor® uses the information that it collects from or about you to improve the materials, products, and other services that it makes available on the Services, to notify you of changes made to the Services or new products or services made available on or through the Services, to evaluate your needs and customize content delivered through the Services to you according to those needs, to facilitate the processing of any purchases or uses you make through the Services, to send you promotional material from Stork Advisor® and its affiliates, and for other legitimate and lawful business purposes of Stork Advisor®.

HOW DOES STORK ADVISOR® PROTECT INFORMATION COLLECTED ABOUT YOU?

Stork Advisor® places a high value on protecting information transmitted via the Services. For this reason, Stork Advisor® uses state-of-the-art security solutions to process payments and to provide secure communication methods. Stork Advisor’s payment services providers use industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology to safeguard User information. Other security safeguards include, but are not limited to, third-party payment processors, data encryption, firewalls, and physical access controls to building and files. Stork Advisor® does not store payment information. Stork Advisor® takes commercially reasonable measures to secure and protect customer-specific information transmitted via the Services. However, no security system is impenetrable. Stork Advisor® CANNOT AND DOES NOT GUARANTEE AND HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS THAT INFORMATION USERS SUPPLY TO Stork Advisor® OR ON THE SERVICES WILL BE TOTALLY SECURE.

HOW LONG DOES STORK ADVISOR® KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

Stork Advisor® will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes it collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements. Stork Advisor® may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if it reasonably believes there is a prospect of litigation in respect to its relationship with you. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, Stork Advisor® considers the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which it processes your personal data, and whether it can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or other requirements.

LINKED SITES

For your convenience, some hyperlinks may be posted on the Website or App that link to other websites not under the control of Stork Advisor®. Other company logos may also be posted on the Website or App as service providers to Stork Advisor® or Users. Please note that this Privacy Policy applies only to the Services and not to other websites of other organizations to which it may link. Stork Advisor® is not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of any other third-party sites. You should make your own inquiries regarding them. In addition, when you initiate a transaction on a website that the Website or App links to, even if you reached that site through the Website or App, the information that you submit to complete that transaction becomes subject to the privacy practices of the owner of that linked site. You should read their privacy policies to understand how they use and protect Personal Information that they collect. Stork Advisor® is not responsible for the privacy or information practices of its suppliers or any third-party websites.

WHAT CHOICES DO YOU HAVE?

You may update at any time the information about you derived from information you have provided to Stork Advisor®. You may also ask Stork Advisor® at any time to remove your name from the list of Users who wish to receive electronic communications and e-mail advertisements from Stork Advisor® or its affiliates by simply sending such a request to Stork Advisor® at the addresses given below. Once you opt out, Stork Advisor® will honor your choice until you inform it otherwise. Please remember, however, that if Stork Advisor® has already shared information about you pursuant to your registration and participation in any special programs of its business affiliates (as described above), Stork Advisor® has no control over how such business affiliates may further use that information, and you will need to contact them directly in that regard.

Subject to applicable law, you also have the right to (i) restrict Stork Advisor’s use of information that constitutes your personal data and (ii) lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

You have the right to any of the following at any time:

Request access

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data Stork Advisor® holds about you and to check that it is lawfully processing it.

Request correction

Request correction of the personal data that Stork Advisor® holds about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data Stork Advisor® holds about you corrected, though it may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to it.

Request erasure

Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask Stork Advisor® to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for it continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask Stork Advisor® to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where Stork Advisor® may have processed your information unlawfully, or where Stork Advisor® is required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that Stork Advisor® may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons, which will be notified to you, if applicable, within a reasonable amount of time after your request.

Object to processing

Object to processing of your personal data where Stork Advisor® is relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation that makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where Stork Advisor® is processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, Stork Advisor® may demonstrate that it has compelling legitimate grounds to process your information, which override your rights and freedoms.

Request restriction of processing

Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask Stork Advisor® to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:

  • If you want Stork Advisor® to establish the data’s accuracy.
  • Where Stork Advisor’s use of the data is unlawful, but you do not want Stork Advisor® to erase it.
  • Where you need Stork Advisor® to hold the data even if Stork Advisor® no longer requires it as you need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
  • You have objected to Stork Advisor’s use of your data, but Stork Advisor® needs to verify whether it has overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Request the transfer

Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. Stork Advisor® will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information that you initially provided consent for Stork Advisor® to use or where Stork Advisor® used the information to perform a contract with you.

Withdraw consent at any time

where Stork Advisor® is relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, Stork Advisor® may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. Stork Advisor® will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

Any request made by you will be processed within thirty (30) days of you providing notice to Stork Advisor®.
