Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (CPRA), generally
offer their residents the rights detailed below unless excepted by law.
(1) Right to request access or know Personal Information
The right to request and receive, the categories and specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected
about you, the categories of sources from which the Personal Information is collected, the business purpose

Information, and the length of time we intend to retain each category of Personal Information, or if that is
not possible, the criteria used to determine that information.

The right to request that we correct inaccurate Personal Information, taking into account the nature of the
Personal Information and the purpose for which it was collected.
(3) Right to delete Personal Information
The right to delete your Personal Information under certain circumstances. The Company may refuse
requests to delete for certain enumerated reasons, including that the Personal Information was not collected
from you (e.g., but rather obtained from other sources), as necessary to comply with applicable laws, or if
deleting the data would prevent the Company from exercising or defending legal claims.
(4) Right to opt out of the sale or sharing of Personal Information
Handbags MC does not knowingly “sell” Personal Information for direct monetary compensation. However,
the meaning of “sale” under applicable privacy laws is quite broad, and may include certain transfers of
information to third parties through the use of cookies and other trackers (collectively, “cookies”). In
addition, we “share” Personal Information for targeted advertising purposes (including as described under
certain state privacy laws) through cookies. We use these cookies for statistical analysis, to personalize your

advertisements that target your particular interests, and to analyze the performance of our advertising
campaigns. Information disclosed to third parties includes basic identification information, device
information and other unique identifiers, internet activity, and commercial data.
Under California’s CPRA and certain other state privacy laws, you have the right to opt out of the “sale”
of Personal Information and the “sharing” of Personal Information for targeted advertising purposes. As a
result, you have the right to reject all cookies except functional cookies (this option will opt you out of all
“sales” and “sharing” for targeted advertising purposes). If you visit us from a different device or browser, or
clear cookies, you may need to re-select your preferences. Please note that even if you opt out of the sale
or sharing of your personal information, your use of our website or app may still be tracked by Handbags
MC and/or our service providers.
You may opt out of sale or sharing of your Personal Information by clicking on our “Do Not Sell or Share
My Personal Information” link on our homepage.

Virginia, Colorado, Utah, and Connecticut residents
If you are a resident of these states, you may have a right to consent or opt out of processing of Sensitive
Personal Information (VA, CO, UT, CT), or to limit the use of Sensitive Personal Information (CA). We
do not collect or process your Sensitive Personal information without your consent. We also do not use
Sensitive Personal Information for any purpose other than to provide the products and services you request,
and do not use it to infer characteristics about you. Therefore, we do not, and are not required to provide
you with a right to limit the use of your Sensitive Personal Information.
