10. Your State Privacy Rights and Choices

State consumer privacy laws may provide their residents with additional rights regarding our use of their personal information. States such as California, Colorado, Connecticut, Nevada, Utah, and Virginia provide their state residents with rights that may include the right to confirm whether we process their personal information, to request the specific pieces of personal information collected, to access and delete certain information, and to correct inaccuracies. In addition, certain states provide their residents with rights to find out if their personal information has been sold and to opt-out of personal information sales; however, as noted elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, LeoLabs does not sell personal data.

You may exercise your legal rights under applicable state law with respect to personal information that you have provided to us by sending an email to privacy@leolabs.space. We will confirm receipt within ten business days, and will endeavor to comply with your request, or to explain why we are unable to comply with all or part of your request, within a reasonable time not to exceed 45 days. To ensure that personal data is not disclosed to a person who has no right to receive it, we may request proof of your identity and residency. If you make a request through an agent, we may request a valid power of attorney or other proof that you gave the agent permission in writing to act on your behalf.

We will not delete any information that we are required by law to retain. We may deny a request to delete information that is necessary for us to perform certain services that you have requested, such as personal information that is used as contact information for an active corporate or entity account, or for other reasons for which applicable law permits us to deny a request. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.

If you provide personal information to a LeoLabs entity located in the United States, that information will be collected, processed, and stored in the United States.

In some cases, LeoLabs may transfer personal information to a third country for processing. LeoLabs has put in place contractual provisions and internal policies that provide an adequate level of adequate protection for your personal information. By providing personal information to LeoLabs, you acknowledge that collection, transfer, processing, and storage of that information may take place in the United States. If you object to such collection, transfer, processing, or storage, you may choose not to provide personal information, but we may not be able to provide requested services to you.
