Access Requests.

Controllers are required to establish and describe in a privacy notice one or more secure and reliable means for customers to submit a request to exercise their rights. The method used needs to consider how customers normally interact with the controller, the need for secure and reliable communication of such requests, and the ability of the controller to authenticate the requests.

Controllers are prohibited from requiring a customer to create a new account in order to exercise their customer rights but may require a customer to use an existing account.

Response time.

Controllers are required to respond to customer requests within 45 days. This time period may be extended once by 45 additional days if certain requirements are met.

No charge for information.

Controllers are required to provide information in response to a customer request free of charge, up to twice annually per customer. The controller may charge the customer a reasonable fee or decline to act on the request if requests are manifestly unfounded, excessive or repetitive, but the burden of demonstrating the manifestly unfounded, excessive or repetitive nature of the request is on the controller.

Delaware legislation

We put here information for residents of Delaware to provide you with more information about legislation and your privacy rights granted by the Delaware Online Privacy and Protection Act.

Advertising to children.

DOPPA regulates operators only as far as they provide services or platforms that are targeted or intended to reach an audience that is composed predominantly of children. However, this does not include services or platforms that merely refer or link to another service or platform that is directed at children.

Operators can also be liable under DOPPA if, despite not directing their services or platforms to children, they have actual knowledge that children are accessing the services or platforms. In such an event, an operator cannot knowingly use, disclose, or compile the personal information of that child, nor can an operator allow another to do the same. An operator that provides a covered service or platform cannot advertise or market content that is inappropriate for children. In this regard, DOPPA provides an enumerated list of prohibited content, including alcohol, tobacco, firearms, fireworks, tanning equipment and facilities, lotteries and gambling, tattoos, drug paraphernalia, and pornography. It should be noted that an operator need not monitor the foregoing if it is using an advertising service and it ensures that such service is complying with DOPPA.

Do-not-track requests.

Delaware residents visiting our websites may request that we do not automatically gather and track information pertaining to their online browsing movements across the Internet. Such requests are typically made through web browser settings that control signals or other mechanisms that provide customers the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of personal information about an individual customer’s online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services. We currently do not have the ability to honor these requests. We may modify this Notice as our abilities change.
