- How We Protect Your Information
We take data privacy very seriously and use what we believe to be commercially reasonable physical, electronic, administrative, and procedural safeguards to preserve the integrity, confidentiality, and security of all Personal Information collected through our Website. However, no security measure, system, or control is infallible.
It is important to note that you have a major role in the security and privacy of your own Personal Information. For example, you should not provide us with Personal Information that we do not request. Additionally, you are responsible for controlling access to any personal computing device through which your Personal Information may be stored or accessed. You are also responsible for safeguarding any passwords or other login credentials that may be used to access your Personal Information. We recommend you ensure that you log out of any account when you are done using it.
Please remember to review the privacy settings and security policies of third party sites and services that you use, such as social networks. We are not responsible for the privacy or security measures of any third party.
In the event that the security of any Personal Information under our control is compromised, we will take reasonable steps to investigate and mitigate the situation, including, when and where appropriate, notifying those individuals whose Personal Information may have been compromised and taking other steps in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

For requests for a copy of the Personal Information we have collected during the 12 months prior to your request, we will endeavor to provide the information in a readily useable format, such as mailing you a paper copy or providing an electronic copy, at our discretion. Upon receipt of a verified request, we will disclose the following: (1) the categories of Personal Information collected; (2) the sources from which Personal Information was collected; (3) the business or commercial purpose for collecting or sharing the Personal Information; (4) the categories of third parties with whom we share the Personal Information, if any; and (5) the specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you.

7.4 Right to Correct Inaccurate Personal Information
Upon receipt of a verified request, we honor your right to request correction of Personal Information unless an exception applies. By way of example, we are not required to comply with a request to modify Personal Information when we cannot properly verify your identity.
7.5 How to Submit Your Request
To submit a request relating to your privacy rights, please call our toll free number at 1-844-227-2265 or submit an online form here https://www.wedgewood-inc.com/privacy-policy-form/. Your request is limited to twice within a 12-month period. The information will be provided to you free of charge, unless we determine that your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
Only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information (“Authorized Agent”). If you choose to use an Authorized Agent, we require that you provide the Authorized Agent with written permission to allow him or her to submit your request and that you verify your identity directly with us. Failure to do so may result in us denying your request.
We will ask you for information that allows us to reasonably verify your identity (that you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information) and will use that information only for that purpose. We may request that you submit a signed statement under penalty of perjury that you are the individual you claim to be. We will acknowledge receipt of your request within 10 days and will endeavor to respond within 45 days of receipt of your request, but if we require more time (up to an additional 45 days), we will notify you of our need for additional time. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity and confirm that the Personal Information relates to you.
7.6 Right to Non-Discrimination
You will not be denied goods or services, charged a different price, or provided a different level or quality of goods or services because you exercised your rights. Additionally, we do not offer financial incentives in exchange for the provision of Personal Information.
