California Residents

If you are a resident of California, you have certain rights in relation to your personal information pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). These include your right to:

  • Request information about the personal information that we collect about you and the manner in which we process and disclose that information;
  • Obtain the specific items of personal information that we have collected about you in the 12 months preceding your request;
  • Delete certain personal information that we have collected about you;
  • Opt-out of disclosures of your personal information to third parties under certain circumstances; and
  • Not be discriminated against as a result of exercising any of the aforementioned rights.

If you would like to discuss or exercise such rights, please contact us at privacy@championwaste.com.

California law requires us to verify the requests we receive from you when you exercise certain of the rights listed above. To verify your request, we will check the information you provide us in your request against third party identity verification tools. As part of this process, we may call you after you submit your request to verify information. You may also designate an authorized agent to exercise certain of the rights listed above on your behalf by providing the authorized agent with power of attorney pursuant to the California Probate Code. If an authorized agent submits a request on your behalf, we will contact you to verify that they represent you.

California law requires that we describe certain disclosures of personal information where we receive valuable consideration. California law treats such disclosures as “sales” even if no money is exchanged. We do not sell information to third parties as defined under California law. We do not sell the personal information of minors under 16 years of age.

Data Security

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers behind firewalls.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you.

We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the Website like message boards. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the Website.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to the Website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website.
