Some of your personal information may also be sold to third parties which may be used for their own direct marketing purposes. California residents may request and obtain certain information regarding such disclosure, if any, of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. SECOND STREET has adopted a policy of not selling your personal information to third parties, however this policy may change. In which case you will receive notice and if you request that we do not sell your data we will not do so (“Right to Opt-Out”).

 

To exercise any of the above rights or to get additional information, you should submit a verifiable consumer request to SECOND STREET either via email to info@SecondStreet.com, by mail at 6220 LA SALLE AVE., OAKLAND, CA 94563, Attention: California Privacy Request, or by telephone 780.420.4040.

In some circumstances, you may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. To do so, SECOND STREET requires that you first verify your own identity and then provide written permission for the authorized agent to act on your behalf. SECOND STREET reserves the right to deny a request from an agent that does not submit proof that they have been authorized by you to act on your behalf. Please note that there is no charge to you related to requests for controlling the sharing of your personal information or for processing this request.
