Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your Personal Information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see the “Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights” section below), we will disclose to you: 

  • The categories of Personal Information we collected about you. 

  • The categories of sources for the Personal Information we collected about you. 

  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that Personal Information.  

  • The categories of third parties with whom we share that Personal Information. 

  • The specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).  

  • If we sold or disclosed your Personal Information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing: 

  •          sales, identifying the Personal Information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and 

  •          disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the Personal Information categories that each category of recipient obtained. 

We do not provide these access and data portability rights for B2B personal information.

Deletion Request Rights

You have the right to request that we delete any of your Personal Information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see the “Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights” section below), we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your Personal Information from our records, unless an exception applies. 

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

  • Complete the transaction for which we collected the Personal Information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, or otherwise perform our contract with you.  

  • Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.  

  • Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality. Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.  

  • Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.).  

  • 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 information's deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research's achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.  

  • Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.  

  • Comply with a legal obligation.  

  • Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it. 

We do not provide these deletion rights for B2B personal information.

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to RCX Sports by either:

        RCX Sports LLC 

        250 Hembree Park Drive, Suite 100 
        Roswell, GA 30076 

  • To submit a request to the NFL Entities please visit the NFL CCPA Web Portal or call 1-855-265-6894. 

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. To designate an authorized agent, you may email privacy@nflflag.com noting in the subject line of your email “CCPA Designation of Authorized Agent”. 

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative, which may include, for example: Full name, email address, mailing address, date of birth and telephone number. 

  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. 

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you. 

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. 

We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request. For instructions on exercising sale opt-out rights with RCX, see the “Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights” section below.  

Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. 

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 verifiable consumer request's receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance. 

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request. 

Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights

If you are 16 years of age or older, you have the right to direct RCX to not sell your Personal Information at any time (the “right to opt-out”). RCX does not sell the Personal Information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of age, unless we receive affirmative authorization (the “right to opt-in”) from either the consumer who is at least 13 but not yet 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years of age. Consumers who opt-in to Personal Information sales may opt-out of future sales at any time. 

To exercise the right to opt-out, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us by visiting the following link: Do Not Sell My Personal Information 

Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to reauthorize Personal Information sales. 

You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights. We will only use Personal Information provided in an opt-out request to review and, if appropriate, comply with the request. 

The Right To Limit Use of Sensitive Information

 

You have the right to limit our use of your Sensitive Data to only purposes necessary to perform the service or provide the goods that you request from use, with the exception of the following:  

  • Collection or processing of sensitive personal data for security purposes; 

  • Maintaining/servicing accounts; and  

  • Undertaking activities to verify/maintain the quality of a service 

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not: 

  • Deny you goods or services. 

  • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.  

  • Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services. 

  • Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services. 

However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your Personal Information's value and contain written terms that describe the program's material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.
