Your Rights In Connection With Personal Information
Based on your state of residency, you may have the right to the following:
- Request access to your personal information. This enables you to confirm whether we are processing your personal data and to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us, in certain situations, to delete or remove sensitive personal data unless our processing is specifically permitted under the Data Privacy Laws.
- Right to correct inaccurate personal information that a business maintains about you.
- Right of disclosure for sale of personal information or use for business purpose. This enables you ask us, in certain circumstances, to provide you with the categories of personal information and third parties we disclose to for sale or business purposes. As TCS does not sell your personal information under any circumstances, this right may only apply where TCS discloses your personal information for a business purpose.
- Data portability. This enables you to ask us, in certain circumstances, to provide you with the personal information you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or to transmit the personal information that you have provided to us to another party.
- Right to opt-out. This enables you to opt-out of the processing of personal information for the purposes of (i) targeted advertising, (ii) the sale of personal information, or (iii) profiling in furtherance of decisions that significantly impact you. TCS does not sell your personal information under any circumstances.
- Our use of online tracking technologies may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” as those terms are defined under certain Data Privacy Laws. To that extent, you can opt out of these online tracking technologies by submitting a request to US.Privacy@tcs.com, or by broadcasting an opt-out preference signal such as the Global Privacy Control. Please note that some features of our website may not be available to you as a result of these choices.
- Right to non-discrimination: This specifies that TCS will not discriminate against you in any way or under any circumstance for exercising your rights to your sensitive data under Data Privacy Laws.
If you are a United States resident, or are an authorized agent of a United States resident, and want to exercise one of the above-rights in connection with your personal information, please contact our US Privacy Officer at US.Privacy@tcs.com.
What we may need from you:
If you exercise one of the above rights, we may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and that you are entitled to make such a request. This is to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.
You may use an authorized agent to submit a consumer request on your behalf. If you use an authorized agent, we will require (i) proof of written permission for the authorized agent to make requests on your behalf, and identity verification from you; or (ii) valid proof of power of attorney. We may deny a request from an authorized agent that does not submit sufficient documentation.
Appeals:
You have the right to appeal our denial of any request that you or your agent submits in connection with the rights outlined above. To exercise this right, you may submit your request to US.Privacy@tcs.com and include the word “APPEAL” in the subject line. We will then inform you of any action taken or not taken in response to your appeal, including an explanation of the reason for the decision, and information regarding any additional recourse if applicable.
