Introduction
This Privacy Notice for California Residents (“Notice”) describes the privacy practices of Kerecis and its affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively, “Kerecis,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) in connection with the personal information we collect about California residents and households (“you” or “Consumers”). This Notice applies to all the personal information that Kerecis collects when Consumers interact with us, such as when visiting our websites, using or purchasing our products or services, contacting customer service and when interacting with us as a business customer, supplier, or business partner (collectively, the “Services”). This Notice supplements our general Privacy Statement, except as noted in the rights section below.

Overview
Kerecis believes in helping you understand our privacy practices concerning your information. Driven by that goal, we have prepared this brief overview of key points about why and how we process your information:

What personal information do we collect? We collect the following categories of personal information: identifiers, inferences, customer records, protected characteristics, internet or other electronic network activity information, geolocation data, professional and employment information, sensory details, and sensitive personal information. You can find more details on those categories in the section below.

How do you use my information? We use your information to communicate with you, conduct our business (such as delivering and improving the Services), and comply with our legal obligations. A more detailed explanation is below.

Do you sell or share my information? We may “sell” or “share” your information, as those terms are defined under California’s privacy law, in limited circumstances. Specifically, when you opt-in to targeting cookies, we allow our partners to collect (using cookies) limited personal information to provide you with more relevant advertising.
How long do you keep my information? We retain your information for the period specified in our retention policy, unless legally or contractually required to keep it longer.

Disclosure of Personal Information
We may share your personal information with the following categories of third parties:

In limited situations, however, we engage in what California calls “sharing” or “selling” your personal information as part of targeted advertising. Specifically, if you opt-in to targeting cookies, we allow trusted partners to collect (via cookies) certain information about you when you interact with our website so that they can provide you targeted advertising based on your online interactions with us and others.

You have the right to know and request information about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, as well as the categories of sources from which we collected personal information; our purpose for collecting, selling, or sharing personal information; the categories of third parties to whom we disclosed personal information; the categories of personal information we disclosed for a business purpose along with the categories of those recipients; the categories of personal information we sold or shared; and the categories of third parties to whom we sold or shared your personal information (grouped by the categories of information we sold or shared).

We can only honor verified requests. To verify your request, we will (1) ask you to provide details such as your name and email address; and then (2) compare your responses to what we have on file. If we are unable to verify your identity, we may ask you for additional details or deny your request.
