This Privacy Notice for California Consumers (the “Notice”) supplements the information contained in the general Privacy Policy of Plastic Suppliers, Inc. (collectively, “we,” “us,” or “our”), located at https://earthfirstfilms.com/privacy.

We adopt this Notice to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) and any terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this Notice.  This Notice controls to the extent of any conflict with our general Privacy Policy and is limited to our collection and use of personal information of residents of the State of California who are included in the definition of “consumer” under the CCPA ("consumers" or "you").

We are a business-to-business (“B2B”) company, providing products and services (collectively, “Services”) to business customers. We also own this website, earthfirstfilms.com (the “Site”), to help us provide these Services to you.  As a B2B company, we collect and use relatively less personal information of individuals than many consumer-orientated companies and advertising companies. However, to the extent that we collect or process information pertaining to persons meeting the definition of “consumers” under CCPA, then this policy will apply. To the extent temporarily exempted from application of the CCPA, this Notice does not apply to employment-related personal information collected from California-based employees, job applicants, contractors, or similar individuals (“employment information”) or to personal information reflecting a written or verbal business-to-business communication ("B2B personal information").  For clarity, to the extent required by Cal. Civ. Code 1798.100, this Notice does apply to employment information in so far as the law requires disclosure at or before the point of collection of the categories of personal information to be collected and the purposes for which the categories of personal information shall be used.

This Notice applies only to the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of personal information collected through the Site and does not apply to any other data or information collected by us online or offline except to the extent this Notice is expressly incorporated by us,  such as by internet link on a website, reference within a contract, or otherwise presented or displayed to end users in the course of providing Services.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

  • Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, or otherwise perform our contract with you.

  • Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
  • 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:

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information.

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.

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.

We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

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, if applicable. 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 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.
