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

Right to opt-out of sale and sharing of personal information

California law requires that we provide transparency about personal information we sell or share, which, for the purposes of the CCPA, broadly means scenarios in which LINSY INTERNATIONAL TRADE INC.  has shared personal information with third parties in exchange for valuable consideration. 

LINSY INTERNATIONAL TRADE INC. sells personal information for the commercial purpose of placing relevant content and advertisements for you on our own websites and apps, as well as other websites, online media channels and apps.

California consumers have the right to opt out of sale or sharing information at any time by visiting our “Do Not Sell Or Share My Personal Information” webpage or emailing us at support@linsy.com. If an authorized agent is submitting the Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing of Personal Information, they must provide us a signed written permission from the consumer demonstrating that they have been authorized by the consumer to act on the consumer’s behalf. If you are an authorized agent, please email us at support@linsy.com so that we can confirm your authority to opt-out on behalf of the consumer. 

Please note that LINSY INTERNATIONAL TRADE INC.  does not knowingly sell personal information about consumers under the age of 16.

Right to restrict use of sensitive personal information
