This Notice for California Residents supplements the information in our Privacy Policy, and except as provided herein, applies solely to California residents (as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and amended by the Consumer Privacy Act Regulations (CPRA)). It applies to personal information (as defined by CCPA / CPRA) we collect on or through the Platform and through other means (such as information collected offline, in person, and over the telephone). Until the CCPA / CPRA has specifically regulated business information, this Notice for California Residents does not apply to business information that does not constitute personal information.

California law requires us to disclose information regarding the categories of personal information that we have collected about California consumers, the categories of sources from which we collect personal information, the business or commercial purposes (as each of those terms are defined by applicable law) for which we collect personal information, and the categories of parties with whom we share personal information. See the details as noted above for categories of information and uses.

Rights

 

If you are a California resident (as defined by the CCPA / CPRA), you may have certain rights. California law may permit you to request that we:

• Provide you the categories of personal information we have collected or disclosed about you in the last twelve months; the categories of sources of such information; the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling your personal information; and the categories of third-parties with whom we shared personal information.

If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please submit a request to privacy@thinksmallinstitute.org. You will be required to verify your identity before we are able to fulfil your request.

California law may require us to compile the following metrics for the previous calendar year: the number of rights requests received, complied with, and denied, as well as the median number of days within which we responded to those requests.

If we have shared your information, this list will contain the types of information shared, and we will provide this list at no cost.

Non-US Country Addendum

EU/EEA

Last Updated March 2023

The following additional terms apply to you if you reside in the European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA). To the extent of any inconsistency, the following terms take precedence over the terms in our Privacy Policy in relation to personal data that is collected and/or held relating to individuals (i.e., data subjects) residing in the EU/EEA.

 

The EU/EEA’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) governs our processing (as defined under GDPR) of your personal data, as well as your rights regarding the same. As used in this Addendum, the following terms have the following meanings:

 

“Breach”, “data controller”, “data processor”, “Data Protection Authority”, “data subject”, “data subject rights”, “Member State”, “personal data”, “personal data breach”, “processing” (and “process”) (regardless of whether capitalized herein) have the meanings given to them in GDPR.

“Standard Contractual Clauses”, for purposes of our Privacy Policy, means the template agreement contained in the Annex of the European Commission’s Implementing Decision of 2021/914 of 4 June 2021 on standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to third countries pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council, and any replacement, amendment or restatement of the foregoing issued by the European Commission.

Data controller; processing

Think Small is a data controller of your personal data.  GDPR sets forth specific obligations of a data processor and data controller in each of these roles.

Lawful Basis for our Processing of Your Personal Data.

As the data controller, we are responsible for establishing a lawful basis for the processing of your personal data. We rely on our legitimate interests under GDPR Article 6 in order to engage in the processing of your personal data. This means that we have a legitimate interest in receiving and processing your personal data in order to provide our Platform and Products. We may, in some cases, also rely on obtaining your consent under GDPR Article 6 as the lawful basis of their processing of your personal data. If so, this means that we have requested your explicit consent (or “opt-in”) to their processing of your personal data.

Data Protection Officer.

Think Small has appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO).

Individual Rights

As also noted in our Privacy Policy, you may make the following requests from us as the data controller. In each case these rights are subject to restrictions and/or exceptions as specified in the GDPR. The following is a summary of your rights:

 

• The right of access, enabling you to receive a copy of your personal data
• The right to rectification, enabling you to correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you
• The right to erasure, enabling you to ask us to delete your personal data in certain circumstances
• The right to restrict processing, enabling you to ask us to halt the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances
• The right to object, enabling you to object to us processing your personal data on the basis of our legitimate interests (or those of a third party), and
• The right to data portability, enabling you to request us to transmit personal data that you have provided to us to a third party without hindrance, or to give you a copy of it so that you can transmit it to a third party, where technically feasible.

 

Under GDPR, a data subject also has the right to lodge a complaint with a Data Protection Authority, in particular in the Member State of the data subject’s residence, place of work or place of an alleged infringement, if the data subject considers that the processing of the personal data infringes the GDPR.

 

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the contact information provided in our Privacy Policy. Please note that the GDPR specifies when the data controller may refuse your request where there is a basis to do so in law, or if your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

Special Categories of Personal Data

Our Platform does not require the collection or processing of any sensitive personal data or sensitive information, as defined in applicable data protection laws (e.g., racial, ethnical origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, etc.).  We may nevertheless collect such sensitive personal data about you or we may collect it incidentally if you provide such data to us. By providing any sensitive personal data or by providing information by a recording, you consent to our collection of such information, however, we do not require or use such data to provide our Platform or Products.

International Transfers of Data

Personal Information originating in the EU/EEA will generally be stored on servers in the EEA but may be accessed and/or processed in a limited manner outside of the EEA. We adhere to the GDPR where it applies to our Platform or Product. Where your personal data is processed outside of the EEA, we will put in place appropriate safeguards.  Where appropriate, we may enter into Standard Contractual Clauses with importers or processors and/or other relevant third parties for the transfer of your personal data and may carry out a risk assessment and/or take necessary security measures in order to fulfill our obligations under GDPR.

If we determine we are unable to provide equivalent protection of your personal data, including by entry into the Standard Contractual Clauses, we may seek to rely on derogations authorized by the GDPR, including the derogation of consent/contract/request of data subject. If relying on your consent, we will seek your explicit consent in advance.

United Kingdom

Last updated March 2022

The following additional terms apply to you if you reside in the United Kingdom (UK).  To the extent of any inconsistency, these terms take precedence over the terms in our Privacy Policy in relation to personal data that is processed in the UK.

“Breach”, “data controller”, “data processor”, “Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO)”, “data subject”, “data subject rights”, “personal data”, “personal data breach”, “processing” (and “process”) (regardless of whether capitalized herein) have the meanings given to them in the UK GDPR.  The UK GDPR may regard a video as “personal data” if the image can be used to identify you.

“UK Addendum” means the International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU/EEA Standard Contractual Clauses issued by the ICO, version B1.0 in force March 21, 2022, as may be amended from time to time (or any successor version).

Data controller; processing

Think Small is a data controller of your personal data. The UK GDPR sets forth specific obligations of data controllers and processors in each of these roles.

By providing any sensitive information or by providing information by recording, you consent to our collection of such information and our use and disclosure of it in accordance with our Privacy Policy for purposes directly related to the reason it was provided.

International Transfers of Data

Personal Information originating in the UK will be stored on servers in the UK but may be accessed and/or processed in a limited manner outside of the UK.

If relying on your consent, we will seek your explicit consent in advance.

Canada

Last updated March 2023

The following additional terms apply to you if you reside in Canada. To the extent of any inconsistency, these terms take precedence over the terms in our Privacy Policy in relation to personal information that is collected and/or held in Canada.

Applicable Law

At the Canadian federal level, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) establishes a framework for the collection and use of your personal information across Canada (e.g., if you are a candidate for employment of an organization that is a federally regulated work, undertaking, or business (e.g., Canadian bank, airline, broadcaster, etc.)). PIPEDA may not apply to personal information about you for use of our Platform.

 

If PIPEDA does not apply, Canadian provincial privacy laws may still apply. We will comply with any such specific provincial privacy laws that apply to our Platform or Products.  For example, Alberta, British Columbia, and Quebec may have provincial privacy laws that apply to your personal information.

Consent

Depending on the applicable data protection laws, we may need to obtain your consent for the collection, use, or disclosure of your personal information. In Canada, your consent is only valid if it is reasonable to believe that you understand the nature, purpose, and consequences of the collection, use, or disclosure of your personal information. You may withdraw your consent at any time.

 

At the time of obtaining your consent, we must provide you with the following:

 

• An exhaustive list of types of personal information being collected and processed
• A list of third parties with whom it is being shared (including the countries for such parties if outside Canada)
• A stated commitment to handling your personal information according to our Privacy Policy, and provide a link to that policy
• An explanation of the risk of harm and other potential consequences in using our Platform
• A “No, I do not consent” button or similar option and explain to you the consequences of withholding your consent, and
• A statement of the possibility for you to withdraw your consent after providing it.

 

If applicable, you will be provided with our Consent and/or Lawful Basis to Collection and Processing of Personal Data notice.

Opting Out of Email Communications

Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) requires your consent on an opt-in basis in order for us to communicate with you by email. If you elect to provide us with an email address, we will treat such provision as your consent to opt-in to our use of email as a communication means. If applicable, you will be provided with our Consent and/or Lawful Basis to Collection and Processing of Personal Data notice. You may opt-out of email communication at any time.
