This section of the Privacy Policy (“CA Policy”) supplements and amends the information contained in our Privacy

The CA Policy describes Company’s policies and practices regarding the personal information we collect, use, and
disclose about you, including personal information you submit or we obtain when you access the Site and other
sources. This CA Policy is adopted in part to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California
Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).

Upon receipt of a confirmed verifiable consumer request (see below), and as required by the CCPA/CPRA, we
will delete and direct any service providers to delete your personal information from our records.
The Company is not required to comply with your request to delete your PI if it is necessary for us
(or its service provider) to maintain your PI in order to:

Complete the transaction for which the PI was collected, provide a good or service requested by you,
or reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise

-
Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public
interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the Company’s deletion
of the information is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of such research,
if you have provided informed consent.
-
To enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with your expectations based on your
relationship with the Company.
-
Comply with a legal obligation.
-
Otherwise use your PI, internally, in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which you

Upon receipt of a confirmed verifiable consumer request (see below), and as required by the CCPA/CPRA, we
will provide a response to such requests.
If you are under the age of 18, and a registered user of any Site where this CA Policy is posted, California
law permits you to request and obtain removal of content or information you have publicly posted. You may
submit your request using the contact information in the Privacy Policy. Please be aware that such a request
does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information you have posted and that
there may be circumstances in which the law does not require or allow removal even if requested.
-
Request to Know. You have the right to reqmediumest-grayuest that we disclose the following to
you as it relates to the 12-month period preceding its receipt of your verifiable consumer request:
- The categories of PI we have collected about you.
- The categories of sources from which the PI was collected.
- The business or commercial purpose for collecting PI.
- The categories of PI we disclosed for a business purpose.
- The categories of third parties with whom we share PI.
- The specific pieces of PI we collected about you.
Upon receipt of a verifiable consumer request (see below), and as required by the CCPA/CPRA, we will

we correct inaccurate PI about you in our records. Upon receipt of a confirmed verifiable consumer
request (see below), and as required by the CCPA/CPRA, we will correct your personal information.
-
Request to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information. You have
the right to request that the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information be restricted to
limited purposes. Upon receipt of a confirmed verifiable consumer request (see below), and as required
by the CCPA/CPRA, we will restrict the disclosure of sensitive personal information.
-
Nondiscrimination. We will not discriminate against you in violation of the
CCPA/CPRA for exercising any of your CCPA/CPRA rights. For example, we generally will not provide
you a different level or quality of goods or services if you exercise your rights under the CCPA/CPRA.
Submitting Consumer Rights Requests. To submit any of the Consumer Rights requests
as outlined above, please contact us at (866) 900-4236 or
using the Consumer Request Concerning Personal Information form at
https://www.kempercpa.com/privacy.
We reserve the right to only respond to verifiable consumer requests. A verifiable consumer request is one
made by any individual who is:
- the consumer who is the subject of the request,
- a consumer on behalf of the consumer’s minor child, or
- by a natural person or person registered with the Secretary of State authorized to act on behalf of a consumer.
If we request, you must provide us with sufficient information to verify your identity and/or authority to act
on behalf of the consumer. In general, we may ask you to provide identifying information that we already maintain
about you or we may use a third-party verification service. In either event, we will try to avoid asking you
for sensitive PI to verify your identity. We may not be able to respond to your request or provide you with PI
if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the PI relates to you. However,
making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. Additionally, you will
need to describe your request with sufficient detail to allow us to review, understand, assess, and respond. PI
collected from an individual to determine whether a request is a verifiable consumer request may not be used or
disclosed for any other purpose except as required by law. We will endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer
request within forty-five (45) calendar days of receipt, but we may require an extension of up to forty-five (45)
additional calendar days to respond and we will notify you of the need for the extension.
If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account
with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide
will only cover the 12-month period preceding the receipt of your verifiable consumer request. The response we
provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. To the extent permitted by
the CCPA/CPRA, we will respond to no more than two requests during any 12-month period.
You may authorize a natural person or a business registered with the California Secretary of State to act on your
behalf with respect to the right under this CA Policy. When you submit a Request to Know or a Request to Delete,
unless you have provided the authorized agent with a qualifying power of attorney, you must provide your authorized
agent written permission (signed by you) to act on your behalf and verify the authorized agent’s identity with us.
We reserve the right to deny requests from persons or businesses claiming to be authorized agents that do not submit
sufficient proof of their authorization.
Questions. If you have questions about this CA Policy, please contact us as described above in the
Privacy Policy.
