Under the privacy laws applicable to residents of the states of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Montana, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Virginia, you may be entitled to benefit from  some or all of the following additional provisions regarding your personal information.

What are the categories of personal information collected

The categories of personal information 3DS collects are identifiers (e.g. name, address, email, phone number, job title, and transactional information), and internet or other electronic network activity information (e.g. usage information, IP and MAC address, cookie information, and customer feedback).

What are your rights and choices

Depending on your state of residence, you may have the right to request that 3DS discloses to you certain information about 3DS’ collection and use of your personal information. That information may include:

  • The categories of personal information 3DS collected about you;
  • The categories of sources from which 3DS collected your personal information;
  • 3DS’ business or commercial purpose for collecting or sharing your personal information;
  • The categories of third parties with whom 3DS shares your personal information, if any;

Only you, or a person, or a business entity registered with the Secretary of State in your state of residency to conduct business in your state of residency that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a request related to your Personal Information. The request must provide enough information to allow 3DS to 1) reasonably verify you are the person about whom 3DS collected Personal Information or an authorized representative and 2) enable 3DS to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. Making such a request does not require you to create an account with us. 3DS will only use personal information provided in a request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

You may appeal a decision made by 3DS regarding a  request submitted by you under this Privacy Policy by contacting the 3DS Group Data Protection Officer by the method described above under the Contact Dispute Resolution section or by contacting the DPO for the Americas via the contact information listed above.

Non-discrimination

3DS will not discriminate against you (for example by denying you products or services, charging you a higher price or giving you a different level or quality of service) for exercising any of your state law privacy rights.
