This means we do not usually need your consent to send you promotional communications. However, where consent is needed, we will ask for this consent separately and clearly.

You have the right to opt out of receiving promotional communications at any time by:

  • Contacting us at hello@outro.com 
  • Using the “unsubscribe” link in emails or by replying “STOP” in text

  1. Right to Know

You have the right to request that we disclose certain Personal Information to you about our collection and use of your Personal Information over the past 12 months (your "Right to Know"). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see Exercising Your Rights to Know, Correct, or Delete), we will disclose to you:

  1. The specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you (also known as a “Data Portability Right”).
  2. The categories of Personal Information we collected about you.
  3. The categories of sources from which we collected your Personal Information.
  4. The categories of your Personal Information we sold or shared, if any, and the categories of third parties purchasing or receiving that information.
  5. The categories of your Personal Information disclosed for a business purpose, if any, and the categories of persons or entities that received your Personal Information.
  6. The business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, or sharing your Personal Information.
  1. Right to Correct
    You have the right to request that we correct any inaccuracies regarding your Personal Information that we hold (your “Right to Correct”). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see Exercising Your Rights to Know, Correct, or Delete), we will correct (and direct our Service Providers and/or Third Parties to correct) the Personal Information that we maintain about you.
  2. Right to Delete
    You have the right to request that we delete any of the Personal Information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions (your "Right to Delete"). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see Exercising Your Rights to Know, Correct, or Delete), we will delete (and direct our Service Providers and/or Third Parties to delete) your Personal Information from our records, unless an exception applies.
    We may deny your deletion request if retaining your Personal Information is necessary for us (or our Service Providers and/or Third Parties).
    1. Complete the transaction for which we collected your Personal Information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
    2. Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.

    4. Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another Consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.

    6. Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information's deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research's achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
    7. Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with Consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
    8. Comply with a legal obligation.
    9. Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

Right to Opt-Out of Sales or Sharing of Personal Information

  1. Your Right to Opt-Out
    You have the right to opt-out of Personal Information sales or sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes (your “Right to Opt-Out”).
    The CCPA defines “sell” as the disclosure of Personal Information to a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration. The CCPA defines “share” as the disclosure of Personal Information to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising (otherwise known as “targeted advertising”).
  2. Our Practices
    We may “sell” and “share” your Personal Information to a third party, such as our Customers, to provide you with relevant and personalized advertising experiences. Outro does not sell or share for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes the Personal Information of Consumers we actually know are less than 16 years old.
    To opt-out of sales or sharing of your Personal Information for these purposes, you may submit an opt-out request by:
  3. Your opt-out request must include the following information, at a minimum, to allow us to properly understand, evaluate, and honor your request:
    • Your first and last name;
    • Your email address;
    • Your postal address; and
    • Your phone number.
  4. We will only use Personal Information you provide in an opt-out request to review and comply with your request.
    Unlike requests to know, correct, or delete, you do not need to verify your identity with us to make an opt-out request. However, if an authorized agent is placing the opt-out request on your behalf, we will require you or your agent to provide Proof of Authorization on an authorization form (PDF) signed by you (the Consumer who is the subject of the opt-out request).
    You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights.
    Once you make an opt-out request, we will:
    • Honor your request as soon as possible, within a maximum of fifteen (15) days; and
    • Inform any third parties that received Personal Information after you placed your request, but before Outro effectuated it, about your request and direct such third parties to honor your request.
  5. Please note that opting-out of the sale or sharing of your Personal Information for cross-context behavioral advertising does not mean you will no longer receive advertisements. You may still receive generic advertisements that are not based on your interests or activities.
  6. Third Party Opt-Outs
    Outro also works with a third party advertising partner, Google Analytics, to provide you with relevant and personalized advertising experiences. Upon receiving your opt-out request, we will notify Google Analytics to comply with your opt-out request and forward your request to their own downstream recipients, if applicable.
    Additionally, Google Analytics has its own mechanisms for opting-out of their services. To prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics, you may locate Google Analytics’ currently available mechanisms for opting-out of Google’s services, here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/. To learn more about how Google uses data when you visit websites or applications that use Google’s services, please visit Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
  7. Browser Do Not Track Signals
    You also have the option to set up a “Do Not Track” signal in your browser, which can indicate your preference to websites not to track your activities for the purpose of cross-context behavioral advertising. You may enable the Do Not Track feature in popular browsers, such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Safari, by adjusting the “Privacy” or “Privacy & Security” options within your browser settings.
    Please note that enabling the Do Not Track feature in your browser does not guarantee that all websites will honor the signal.
  8. Right to Limit the Use of Sensitive Personal Information
    You have the right to limit the use of “Sensitive Personal Information,” as defined by the CCPA. Certain Personal Information collected by us, including your Mojo account username and password, may constitute “Sensitive Personal Information” under the CCPA. However, we only use such information to provide our services and products or as otherwise permitted under California privacy law.

Exercising Your Rights to Know, Correct, or Delete

  1. How To Submit a Request to Know, Correct, or Delete
    To exercise your Rights to Know, Correct, or Delete described above, please submit a request by:
  • Submitting a Consumer Request here
  • Sending an email to privacy@outro.com

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request to know, correct, or delete related to your Personal Information. When a request to know, correct, or delete is submitted by an authorized agent, the Consumer who is the subject of the request must still do the following (unless the Consumer has provided the authorized agent with power of attorney pursuant to Probate Code sections 4121 to 4130):

  • Verify their own identity directly with Outro; and
  • Provide proof of authorization on an authorization form (PDF) signed by the Consumer who is the subject of the request (“Proof of Authorization”).

You may only submit a request to know twice within a twelve (12) month period.
Your request to know, correct, or delete must describe your request with sufficient detail to allow Outro to properly evaluate, understand, and respond.
Upon receiving your request, Outro will verify the identity of the Consumer who is the subject of the request to either a reasonable degree of certainty, or a reasonably high degree of certainty, depending upon the nature of the request and sensitivity of Personal Information involved. This may require:

  • Matching three pieces of Personal Information you provide with the Personal Information Outro holds about you;
  • A determination by Outro that the Personal Information matched is reliable for verification purposes; and
  • Receiving a signed declaration under penalty of perjury from you stating that the Personal Information requested is about you.

Outro cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you.
You do not need to create an account with us to submit a request to know, correct, or delete. However, we do consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to Personal Information associated with that specific account, but any indication or suspicion of fraudulent or malicious activity on your password-protected account requires Outro to suspend reliance on this verification method and use other procedures to confirm that the request is authentic.
We will only use the Personal Information provided in connection with the request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make it.
For instructions on exercising your sale opt-out rights, see Right to Opt-Out of Sales or Sharing of Personal Information.

  1. Response Timing and Format
    We will confirm receipt of your request to know, correct, or delete within ten (10) business days. If you do not receive confirmation within the 10-day timeframe, please send an e-mail to privacy@outro.com.
    We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) calendar days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
    If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.
    Any disclosures we provide will only cover the twelve (12) month period preceding our receipt of your request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For Data Portability Right requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily usable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
    We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

  • Deny you goods or services.
  • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
  • Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
  • Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
  • Retaliate against an employee, applicant, or independent contractor.
