You may contact us at privacy@medallion.co to exercise any of the rights outlined below. We may request specific information from you to confirm your identity, and in some circumstances, we may charge a reasonable fee for access to your information (if appropriate and permissible).
Your Privacy Rights
While not all U.S. states afford rights like those afforded by California or other states that have passed data privacy legislation, we honor requests from any users that wish to exercise the rights enumerated in this section and in the European Privacy Rights section below, and we will not discriminate against any user who exercises these rights.
Right to access/know your information. You may request from us a list of (i) the personal information that we have collected about you, and (ii) the categories of third parties to whom we have disclosed your personal information. You have the right to up to two (2) access requests each twelve (12) months.
Right to delete your information. You may request, at any time, that we delete your information and direct our service providers to delete your information from their records. We will honor such requests unless we are required by federal or state law to preserve the information.
You may contact us to exercise these rights at privacy@medallion.co. To ensure the privacy and protection of individuals, we are required to verify your identity (or that of your authorized agent) or otherwise authenticate your request(s), which we will do in accordance with the applicable privacy regulations. Please note that, under the CCPA in particular, we are not required to grant a request to access/know or a request to delete with respect to personal information obtained from you in your role as an employee, owner, director, officer or contractor of a company and within the context of Medallion providing its services to such company.

We provide these disclosures in the following table.

We do not expressly provide the Site or Services to users that reside in the European Economic Area, the UK, or Switzerland. If you are a resident of these jurisdictions, please do not use the Site or Services. That notwithstanding, this policy provides information about the rights afforded to users under regulations within the foregoing jurisdictions, such as under the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) (the “GDPR”) or similar regulations.
