Retention of Personal Information.

For each category of Personal Information listed above, we retain the Personal Information for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, including to satisfy legal, accounting, or reporting requirements and, where required for us to assert or defend against legal claims, until the end of the relevant retention period or until the claims in question have been settled.

We use the following criteria to determine how long to retain Personal Information:

• • Our relationship with you.
• • Your requests to us regarding your Personal Information.
• • Any legal obligations to retain the data, or for our own legal purposes.
• • Technical considerations, and level of protections in place for your Personal Information.

You have certain rights regarding how we use your Personal Information. Certain rights are browser and device specific.

Marketing Communications:

You can opt out of receiving our marketing communications. You can opt-out of receiving our promotional emails or text messages by following the instructions included with the communication. Note that you will still receive transactional messages from us, including information about your account and responses to your inquiries.

Cookies and Tracking Tools:

You can control certain tracking tools.

Your browser may give you the ability to control cookies. How you do so depends on the type of cookie. Certain browsers can be set to reject browser cookies.

You can opt-out of targeted / behavioral advertising.

You can reject all cookies except functional cookies in our Cookie Preferences center, including to opt out of targeted / behavioral advertising based on information obtained from our website. If you visit us from a different device or browser, or clear cookies, you may need to re-select your preferences.

Certain choices you make are both browser and device-specific.

We honor valid opt-out preference signals (Do Not Track).

The purpose of an opt-out preference signal is to provide consumers with a simple and easy-to-use method to notify businesses that they do not want their Personal Information shared with other third parties for advertising or other purposes unrelated to the purpose for which their Personal Information was collected. Through an opt-out preference signal, consumers can opt out of sharing their Personal Information with all businesses that they interact with online without having to make individualized requests.

We process opt-out preference signals via browsers that meet the following requirements and are therefore considered valid: (1) the signal is in a format commonly used and recognized by us, such as an HTTP header field and (2) the platform, technology, or mechanism that sends the signal must make clear that the signal is meant to have the effect of opting you out of sharing your Personal Information. Currently, we respond to the Global Privacy Control ("GPC") signal.

Mobile Application and Location Based Services:

• • If you have previously opted into the collection and use of location-based information through our mobile applications, you may opt-out by adjusting the settings on your mobile device.
• • You may completely opt-out of all location-based information collection by us if you uninstall all of our mobile apps from your devices.

Rights of consumers in certain states – Access and control over your Personal Information.

Comprehensive state privacy laws, such as those in California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and Utah, may offer you additional rights, where applicable. These state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (CPRA), generally offer their residents the rights detailed below unless excepted by law.

(1) Right to request access or know Personal Information

The right to request and receive, the categories and specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you, the categories of sources from which the Personal Information is collected, the business purpose for collecting the Personal Information, the categories of third parties with whom we share Personal Information, and the length of time we intend to retain each category of Personal Information, or if that is not possible, the criteria used to determine that information.

(2) Right to correct inaccurate Personal Information

The right to request that we correct inaccurate Personal Information, taking into account the nature of the Personal Information and the purpose for which it was collected.

(3) Right to delete Personal Information

The right to delete your Personal Information under certain circumstances. The Company may refuse requests to delete for certain enumerated reasons, including that the Personal Information was not collected from you (e.g., but rather obtained from other sources), as necessary to comply with applicable laws, or if deleting the data would prevent the Company from exercising or defending legal claims.

(4) Right to opt out of the sale or sharing of Personal Information

Charles Darius & ASEU does not knowingly “sell” Personal Information for direct monetary compensation. However, the meaning of “sale” under applicable privacy laws is quite broad, and may include certain transfers of information to third parties through the use of cookies and other trackers (collectively, “cookies”). In addition, we “share” Personal Information for targeted advertising purposes (including as described under certain state privacy laws) through cookies. We use these cookies for statistical analysis, to personalize your experience, and for advertising and social media purposes, including to track your use of our site, offer you advertisements that target your particular interests, and to analyze the performance of our advertising campaigns. Information disclosed to third parties includes basic identification information, device information and other unique identifiers, internet activity, and commercial data.

Under California's CPRA and certain other state privacy laws, you have the right to opt out of the “sale” of Personal Information and the “sharing” of Personal Information for targeted advertising purposes. As a result, you have the right to reject all cookies except functional cookies (this option will opt you out of all “sales” and “sharing” for targeted advertising purposes). If you visit us from a different device or browser, or clear cookies, you may need to re-select your preferences. Please note that even if you opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, your use of our website or app may still be tracked by Charles Darius & ASEU and/or our service providers.

You may opt out of sale or sharing of your Personal Information by clicking on our “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link on our homepage.

(5) Right to Consent to Collection of, or Limit the Use of, Sensitive Personal Information for California, Virginia, Colorado, Utah, and Connecticut residents.

If you are a resident of these states, you may have a right to consent or opt out of processing of Sensitive Personal Information (VA, CO, UT, CT), or to limit the use of Sensitive Personal Information (CA). We do not collect or process your Sensitive Personal information without your consent. We also do not use Sensitive Personal Information for any purpose other than to provide the products and services you request, and do not use it to infer characteristics about you. Therefore, we do not, and are not required to provide you with a right to limit the use of your Sensitive Personal Information.

(6) Right to Appeal in Colorado, Virginia, or Connecticut.

If you are a Colorado, or Virginia, or Connecticut resident, and we deny your exercise of any of your rights set forth above, then you may appeal such denial by using the same method of contacting us below, to appeal that decision.

Charles Darius & ASEU further does not discriminate against users and consumers on the basis of their exercising any of their rights afforded by the CPRA or other applicable privacy laws.

Rights of California-Resident job applicants – Access and control over your Personal Information.
