California Online Privacy Protection Act

CalOPPA requires commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information (as such term is defined under the CalOPPA) from California consumers, to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared. See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf.

According to CalOPPA, hiSky agrees to the following:

• Once this Privacy Policy is created, we will add a link to it on our home page or on the first significant page after entering the Website.
• HiSky’s Privacy Policy link includes the word ‘Privacy’ and can easily be found on each page on the Website.
• You can request to change your Personal Information by emailing us at: support@hiSkysat.com.

California Privacy Rights

The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) permits users who are California residents to request to exercise certain rights. If you are a California resident, the CCPA may grant you the right to request certain information about our practices with respect to your Personal Information. In particular, to the extent the CCPA is applicable, you can request to receive information on the following:

• The categories and specific pieces of your Personal Information that we have collected.
• The categories of sources from which we collected your Personal Information.
• The business or commercial purposes for which we collected your Personal Information.
• The categories of third parties with which we shared your Personal Information.

You can be rest assured that we do not sell your Personal Information. If you choose to exercise your rights, we will not charge you different prices or provide different quality of our Services, unless those differences are related to your provision of your Personal Information.

Please note that you must verify your identity and request before further action is taken. As a part of this process, government identification may be required. Moreover, you may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf.

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 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 your verifiable request’s receipt. If, for some reason, we cannot reply within such time frame, our response will include an explanation for our inability to comply. If you wish to exercise your CCPA rights, please contact us at: support@hiSkysat.com.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

1. Deny you goods or services.
2. Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
3. Provide you with a different level or quality of goods or services.
4. Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

CAN SPAM Act

The CAN-SPAM Act is a Federal US law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out strict penalties for violations.

To be in accordance with CANSPAM, hiSky agrees to the following:

• Not use false or misleading subjects or email addresses.
• Identify the commercial message sent to you as an advertisement when required.
• Include the physical address of our business or site headquarters.
• Monitor third-party email marketing services for compliance, if one is used.
• Honor opt-out/unsubscribe requests quickly.
• Allow users to unsubscribe by using the link at the bottom of each email.

If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, you can email us at support@hiSkysat.com and we will promptly remove you from ALL correspondence.

Data Security

We deploy industry standard measures to ensure the security, confidentiality, integrity and availability of the Personal Information we process. We maintain physical, technical and administrative safeguards, and test and update these periodically. We endeavor to restrict access to Personal Information on a ‘need to know’ basis for the provision of Service to you. No such measures are perfect or impenetrable. In the event of a security breach, we will take all reasonable action to minimize any harm. Although we will do our best to protect Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted to our Website and transmission is at the users own risk.

Data Retention

Generally, hiSky does not retain information longer than necessary to provide its Service and for its reasonable business and lawful needs. If you withdraw your consent to us processing your Personal Information, we will erase your Personal Information from our systems, unless the Personal Information is required for hiSky to establish, exercise or defend against legal claims or it is necessary for the performance of the Services.
