1. Right to Know/Access, and Right to Deletion of Personal Information

Pursuant to the CCPA, as a California Consumer, you may have the following rights with respect to your Personal Information:

• Know/Access – allows you to request that Happy Money provide you with the categories of information that Happy Money has collected or disclosed to third party service providers within the twelve-month period prior to your request. You can make this request up to two times every twelve months.
• Deletion of Personal Information – allows you to request that Happy Money delete your Personal Information. This may be subject to other rules and regulations such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA), and Regulation B. For instance, ECOA and Regulation B require retention of loan application and applicant information for a period of no less than 25 months. Other rules and regulations have similar requirements, e.g., for records requirements and/or for business operations.

2. Verifiable Consumer Request

In order to exercise your rights in Section 1 above, you must submit a Verifiable Consumer Request to Happy Money. To do so, you must send an email to privacy@happymoney.com and include all of the following information:

• Your relationship with Happy Money (e.g., “member with an account,” “loan applicant,” or “other”);
• The email address through which Happy Money communicates with you;
• The name you have registered with Happy Money or to whom Happy Money addresses you;
• A contact phone number so that Happy Money may call you in order to verify your identity; and
• Which rights you are exercising: e.g., right to know; and/or deletion.

Note: If we cannot verify your identity or your authority to make the request and we cannot confirm that the Personal Information relates to you, then we will be unable respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information. Making a Verifiable Consumer Request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use Personal Information provided in a Verifiable Consumer Request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request. Stated differently, we only use the Personal Information that you provide when you make the Verifiable Consumer Request, to respond to the request.

Responding to Your CCPA Request(s)

Upon submitting your Verifiable Consumer Request, we will (a) respond within forty-five (45) days; or (b) if additional time is required to meet your request, we will notify you by mail or electronically, of the reason and extension period, provided however, such extension shall not exceed forty-five (45) days.

Please note that any disclosures we provide will only cover the twelve-month period preceding the Verifiable Consumer Request.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your Verifiable Consumer Request provided that it is not excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.

For each Verifiable Consumer Request that is subject to CCPA, we will respond in writing and typically to the email we have on file.
