The categories of information we have collected about you.
The categories of sources for the Personal Information we have collected about you.
Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that Personal Information.

Mountain Ridge’s response to requests to know (either the categories or specific pieces of Personal Information) will only cover the 12-month period preceding the request.

You have the right to request that Mountain Ridge delete any Personal Information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct service providers to delete) your Personal Information from our records. Mountain Ridge may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:

Complete the transaction for which the Personal Information was collected, provide a good or service already requested by the consumer or reasonably anticipated to be requested, taking into account our ongoing relationship with the consumer, or to otherwise perform a contract between us and the consumer.
Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; or to prosecute those responsible for that activity.

Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest, if the deletion of the information is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of such research, if the consumer has provided informed consent.

Comply with a legal obligation.
Otherwise use the consumer’s Personal Information, internally, in a manner that is compatible with the context in which the consumer provider the information.

Denying goods or services.
Charging different prices or rates for goods or services, including applying discounts or imposing penalties.
Providing a different level or quality of goods or service.
Suggesting that a consumer will receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods and services.

Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you have authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information. You may, however, make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your child.

Mountain Ridge cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you. All requests must:

Provide enough information for us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative. The amount of information necessary will depend on the request but we will only use Personal Information provided with a request to verify your identity and authority to make the request.

We will make our best effort to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. Within ten (10) days of receiving the request, Mountain Ridge will confirm receipt and provide information about its verification and processing of the request.
