UPDATED AND EFFECTIVE DATE: September 5, 2023
This notice (“Notice”) applies to you if you are a California resident who is a job applicant to, employee of, director of, officer of, or individual contractor of Philo (collectively “you”). It informs you about (1) the categories of Personal Information that we may collect about you, (2) the sources from which we collect Personal Information, (3) the purposes for which we may use that Personal Information, and (4) the third parties to whom Personal Information may be disclosed. “Personal Information” has the definition in the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) and as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”).
1. Your Privacy Rights
You have the right to request: (1) that we disclose to you what Personal Information we collect, use, disclose, and sell/share, including the right to request that we provide to you the specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you (“Right to Know”) (2) that we delete the Personal Information we have collected from you (“Right to Delete”); (3) that we correct inaccurate Personal Information we hold about you (“Right to Correct”), (4) to opt out from the sharing of your Personal Information and Sensitive Personal Information to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising (i.e. targeted advertising) (“Right to Opt-Out of Sharing”), (5) to opt-out from the sale of Personal Information and Sensitive Personal Information (“Right to Opt-Out of Sale”), and (6) that we limit the use or disclosure of your Sensitive Personal Information to purposes set forth in the statute, including that use which is necessary to perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected by an average person who requests those goods or services (“Right to Limit the Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information”). These rights are subject to the meanings and exceptions set forth in the CCPA and CPRA. More information on each of these rights is below.
a. Right to Know
You may request that we disclose the following information:
- The categories of Personal Information we have collected about you.
- The categories of sources from which the Personal Information is collected.
- The business or commercial purpose for collecting or “selling” or “sharing” your Personal Information.
- The specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you.
- The categories of Personal Information we have “sold” or “shared” or disclosed about you for a business purpose, and the categories of third parties to whom your Personal Information was “sold,” “shared,” or disclosed for a business purpose.
To provide you with specific pieces of information, we may require a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the individual whose Personal Information is the subject of the request.
b. Right to Delete
You may request that we delete the Personal Information we have collected from you (and direct our Service Providers to do the same).
Please note that as part of the verification process, we may follow up after you submit your request and require you to confirm that you want your information deleted.
c. Right to Correct
You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate information we hold about you.
d. Right to Opt-Out of Sale/Right to Opt-Out of Sharing
We do not sell, or share for cross-contextual behavioral advertising, the Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information about you. Therefore, we do not offer an opt-out for the sale of Personal Information or sharing of Sensitive Personal Information at this time.
e. Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information
Under the CPRA Regulations, a business must only provide the Right to Limit the Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information when the information (i) is collected or processed for the purpose of inferring characteristics about an individual, or (ii) does not fall under certain statutory exceptions, pursuant to CPRA §1798.121. Since Philo’s use and disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information is within one or more of these exceptions, we do not offer this right at this time.

We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity based upon the information you provide and the type of request you are making. We may ask for additional information as needed to fully verify your request.
If we are unable to verify that the person submitting the request is the same person about whom we have collected information (or someone that person authorized to submit the request on their behalf), we will not be able to process the request.

The agent should complete the request through one of the methods outlined below. and provide declaration signed by you authorizing the agent to make the request.

Alternatively, the agent may submit a copy of a power of attorney under Probate Code sections 4000-4465. The identity of the subject of the request, in addition to the agent’s identity, will need to be independently verified in order for us to be able to fulfill the request. We may also ask you to directly confirm with us that you provided the agent with permission to submit a request. Please keep in mind that if we do not receive adequate proof that the agent is authorized to act on behalf of the subject of the request, we may deny the request.
