Privacy Policy
I. Introduction
This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how Eravant (also referred to here as “we” or “us”) handles information that it collects about you or other individuals online or at our physical locations, and the privacy protection we accord to personally identifiable information (“PII”). For purposes of this Policy, PII about you means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with you or your household.
We may change the terms of the Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will post the amended policy on this website, www.eravant.com, and any other Site that links to this Policy (the “Sites”). If the changes are material, we will post a notice on the Sites alerting you to the change. Any changes to the Policy will become effective immediately upon our posting of the Policy, so please be sure to review the current Policy before providing us with PII.
II. How Does Eravant Collect Your PII and What Types of PII Does It Collect?
Eravant collects PII about you when you actively provide it to us, such as when you purchase a product, complete a registration form, respond to a request for information, sign up to receive our newsletter or other communications from us, or send us an email or letter. We also may collect PII about you from other sources, such as a person who purchases a product for you as the end user; the Internet, including social media websites; the press or other print media; and other organizations or individuals as permitted under applicable law.
Listed below are the types of PII that we may have collected about you within the past 12 months. Some of these types of information may not be PII, depending on other information we have access to about you. Each type of information listed below is PII only if the information identifies, relates to, describes, references, is reasonably capable of being associated with by us, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, by us with you or your household.
III. Our Business Purposes for Collecting PII; How We Use the Information
We may use the PII we collect from you for a variety of purposes permitted by law, including:
IV. How We May Share Personally Identifiable Information

And more broadly, we use cookies to see how many visitors are on our Sites and how visitors move around the Sites.

We are not responsible for the information-collection practices of the other websites that you visit and advise you to review their privacy policies before you provide them with any PII.X. California Residents’ Privacy Rights
If you are a resident of California, you have certain privacy rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). We honor those rights, as described below, and we are prohibited by law from discriminating against you for exercising any of those rights.A. Right to Know
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what PII we have collected about you, why we collected it, and the categories of third parties (excluding service providers) with whom we have shared the PII during the past 12 months. (See below on “How to Submit a Request.”) You may request that we provide a description of the categories of PII we have collected (a “Categories Request”) or a request for access to the specific pieces of PII we have collected (a “Specific Pieces Request.”)
If you make a Categories Request, and you do not have any type of account with us, we will need you to provide us with at least two data elements specific to you, such as your cell phone number or driver’s license number (depending on the data elements we already maintain about you), so that we can verify your identity. After we confirm that your request is a verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:
If you make a Specific Pieces Request, we need to be sure we have verified your identity with great certainty to safeguard your privacy. In order for to verify your identity, if you do not have any type of account with us, you will need to provide to us at least three data elements specific to you, together with a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the consumer whose personal information is the subject of the request. After we confirm that your request is a verifiable consumer request, we will, consistent with the CCPA, disclose to you the specific pieces of PII we collected about you that you requested.
B. Right to Request Deletion
You have the right to request that we delete any of your PII that we collected from you and retained, other than Personal Customer Information (as defined above). We are not obligated to comply with your request if we have a legal basis to retain the PII. If you make a request for us to delete PII, and you do not have any type of account with us, we may need you to provide us with at least two data elements specific to you so that we can verify your identity. Once we receive and confirm that your request is a verifiable consumer request (see below on “How to Submit a Request”), we will inform you whether we have deleted (and have directed our service providers to delete) your PII from our records, or whether we are declining to grant your request to delete due to an exception to the CCPA deletion requirements.
C. Exceptions
If you are working for or seeking to work for Eravant, or if you are an employee or other representative of a business or other organization that is exploring or engaging in a business-to-business transaction with Eravant, the CCPA currently does not provide you with a “right to know” or “right to request deletion” until January 1, 2021.
D. How to Submit a Request
To request access to or deletion of your PII as described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:You may make a request on your own behalf, and if you are the parent or guardian of a minor child, you also may make a request related to your child’s PII. If you wish to designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf, please provide us with a signed declaration stating that your intent is to permit that individual to act on your behalf and include such individual’s full name, address, email address, and phone number. That way we will be sure you have fully authorized us to act in accordance with the requests of that individual.
As indicated above, in order to protect your PII from unauthorized disclosure or deletion at the request of someone other than you or your legal representative, Eravant requires identification verification before granting any request to provide copies of, know more about, or delete your PII. We take special precautions to help ensure this. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with PII if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that the PII relates to you. We will only use PII collected in connection with a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.
We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 45 additional days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
