We may deny your deletion request if you interact with our Sites as a business and not as a consumer and/or if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

  • Comply with a legal obligation.
  • Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights


To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:

  • Signing in to your account and going to My Account > Consumer Request.
  • Emailing support@rachelbloom.com.

Only you, or someone authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.


You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:


  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative.

  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

As a part of this process, government identification may be required. As noted above, you may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. In order to designate an authorized agent, you must provide a valid power of attorney, your valid government issued identification, and the authorized agent’s valid government issued identification.


We 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.


Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. 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. If you do not have an account with us, you will need to email us at support@rachelbloom.com so that we may verify your identity.


We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.


For instructions on exercising opt-out rights, see Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights.


Response Timing and Format


We will do our best to respond to a verifiable consumer request as soon as possible in accordance with applicable law.


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 using the contact information you have provided electronically.


Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity.


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.

General Data Protection Regulation


The General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), a regulation in European Union (“EU”) law, is a new set of rules that changes the way personal data of individuals inside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) can be collected and processed. Among other things, the law can apply to non-EU companies who are offering goods or services to persons inside the EEA. Bloom takes the privacy and security of its customers, and of any person whose data Bloom handles, very seriously. Bloom follows stringent data privacy and cyber security protocols to protect the personal data it handles. However, the GDPR is a unique set of regulations particular to EU law, and does not mesh well with the current framework in the United States.


We are headquartered in Dayton, Ohio in the United States. Our Products, Sites and services are hosted and administrated in the United States or hosted with cloud service providers who are headquartered in the United States. Bloom’s target customers are in the United States. Bloom does not currently intend to offer products, goods or services to individuals in the European Union. If you are located in the European Union, or anywhere outside of the United States, be aware that information you provide to us or that we obtain as a result of your use of our Products or our Sites and services may be processed in, transferred to, and stored in the United States and will be subject to United States law. The privacy and data protection laws of the United States may be different from the laws of your country of residence. With the implementation of GDPR, we are taking further steps to ensure that any potential customers understand that Bloom does not intend to sell its goods or services to persons inside the EEA. This includes limiting access to certain web-based services when attempting to access from within EU borders.


Changes to this Privacy Notice


If there are changes to the terms of this Privacy Policy, we will post those changes here. Please be sure to check this page from time to time. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, such as changes in the way we use or disclose Personal Information, we will provide you with notice of the change through your account or the contact information you provided to us. Your continued use of the Sites following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of this Privacy Policy and any such changes.


Accessibility


Bloom is committed to making our Privacy Policy accessible to individuals with disabilities. If you use assistive technology (such as a Braille reader, a screen reader, text-enlargement programs, etc.) and the format of the Privacy Policy interferes with your ability to access any information in the Privacy Policy, please contact us at support@rachelbloom.com. Please indicate the nature of your accessibility problem, the preferred format you would like to receive the Privacy Policy, and your contact information so that we may respond in a manner that is helpful for you.
