Article 20. (Severability)

Your CCPA Right to Know
The CCPA provides California residents (“consumers”) with the right to request certain details in relation to their personal information collected or disclosed in the twelve (12) months preceding such request (subject to certain limitations at law, and only upon the successful verification of your identity). This is known as the “right to know” and pertains to consumers’ right to access:
- The specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you;
- The categories of personal information we have collected about you;
- The categories of sources of the personal information we have collected about you;
- The categories of personal information that we have disclosed about you to third parties for a business purpose, and the categories of recipients to whom this information was disclosed;
- The categories of personal information we have sold about you (if any), and the categories of third parties to whom this information was sold; and
- The business or commercial purposes for collecting or, if applicable, selling personal information about you.
We are committed to protecting your personal information and providing you with rights thereto, regardless of where in the United States you reside. Therefore, even if you are not a resident of California, you may request to access the above-mentioned details regarding your personal information, once every twelve (12) month period (subject to certain limitations at law, and only upon the successful verification of your identity).
We endeavor to respond to all verifiable requests we receive within forty-five (45) days. In order to protect your privacy, we may request certain of your personal information (such as your name and account ID) in order to verify your identity with a reasonable degree of certainty, prior to fulfilling any request by you or, where appropriate, your authorized agent. If you intend to exercise your right to know, please refer to the section of this Privacy Policy entitled “How to Exercise Your Rights”.
No Sale of Personal Information Pertaining to Minors
For the avoidance of doubt, we do not and will not “sell” personal information, including the personal information of consumers we know to be less than sixteen (16) years of age.
Your CCPA Right to Request Deletion
The CCPA provides California residents with the right to request the deletion of the personal information that we have collected, subject to certain exceptions. This is known as the “right to request deletion”. Because we are committed to protecting your personal information regardless of where in the United States you reside, even if you are not a resident of California, you may request the deletion of your personal information once every twelve (12) month period (subject to certain limitations at law). If you intend to exercise your right to request deletion, please refer to the section of this Privacy Policy entitled “How to Exercise Your Rights”.
Your CCPA Right to Opt-Out of Sales
The CCPA provides California residents with the right to direct us not to “sell” personal information we have collected about you to third parties now or in the future. If you are under the age of 16, you have the right to opt in, or to have a parent or guardian opt in on your behalf, to such sales. Under the CCPA, “sell” refers to the disclosure (including by selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, transferring or otherwise making available or communicating orally, in writing, by electronic or other means), of a consumer’s personal information to another business or to a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration.
For the avoidance of doubt, we do not “sell” your personal information.
Your CCPA Right to Non-Discrimination
The CCPA provides California residents with the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising any of the rights described above. This is known as the “right to non-discrimination”. Whether or not you are a resident of California, we will not discriminate against you in a manner prohibited by the CCPA should you choose to exercise your rights under the CCPA or this Privacy Policy. However, please note that if your exercise of the rights described above limits our ability to process personal information (such as in the case of a deletion request which results in the deletion of your account), fulfilment of that right may mean that we are no longer able to provide you with certain services, such as access to the Application, or engage with you in the same manner as before.
Please note that participating in any incentive programs which we may offer is entirely optional, and participants must affirmatively opt in to any such programs, and can opt out at any time, free of charge by following the instructions in the relevant program’s description. We may add or change incentive programs and/or their terms by posting a notice on program descriptions and terms linked thereto, so please check them regularly. Presently, any incentive programs offered through the Application do not require us to collect any additional personal information about you, should you choose to opt-in.
How to Exercise Your Rights
To exercise your right to know and/or right to request deletion, please submit your request by:
- Emailing info@muji.com with the subject line “CCPA Rights Request” if you are a California resident or “Privacy Policy Rights Request” if you are a resident of a State other than California.
- Calling 877-414-9402
We will need to verify your identity before processing your request. In order to verify your identity, we will generally either require the successful login to your account or the matching of sufficient information you provide us to the information we maintain about you in our systems. Although we try to limit the personal information collected in connection with a request to exercise your right to know and/or right to request deletion, certain requests may require us to obtain additional personal information from you. In certain circumstances, we may decline a request to exercise the right to know and/or right to deletion, particularly where we are unable to verify your identity.
Authorized Agent
You may also be permitted to use an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf where (a) you provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the requestor is an authorized agent, either by directly confirming that with us or by providing us with your signed written permission or a power of attorney; and/or (b) you successfully verify your own identity with us.
We will be forced to deny a request from an agent that does not submit sufficient proof that they have been authorized by you to act on your own behalf.
Updates to This Privacy Policy
We will update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes to this Privacy Policy, we will change the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of this Privacy Policy.
