California privacy rights

This information supplements the information contained in the other sections of Millennium’s Privacy Policy and applies solely to all visitors, users, and others who reside in the State of California ("consumers" or "you"). We adopt this notice to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) and any terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this Policy. This section does not apply to workforce related personal information collected from California-based job applicants, contractors, or similar individuals. To learn about how we collect and use workforce related personal information of California-based job applicants, see our notice to California Job Applicants.

The information we collect is described below in more detail. Personal information does not include:

• Deidentified or aggregated consumer information.

This section on California Privacy Rights does not apply to personal information we collect in a business-to-business ("B2B") context or transaction.

Use of personal information

We may use or disclose the personal information we collect for one or more of the following purposes:

• To fulfill or meet the reason you provided the information. For example, if you share your name and contact information to request a price quote or ask a question about our products or services, we will use that personal information to respond to your inquiry.

• To evaluate or conduct a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of our assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by us about our consumers is among the assets transferred.

We will not collect additional categories of personal information or use the personal information we collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes without providing you notice.

Selling and/or sharing personal information

We do not sell personal information. We may share your personal information by disclosing it to a third-party for a business purpose. We only make these business purpose disclosures under written contracts that describe the purposes, require the recipient to keep the personal information confidential, and prohibit using the disclosed information for any purpose except performing the contract. The following chart shows for the last twelve (12) months, the categories of personal information we have collected, the purpose of collection, if the personal information has been disclosed for a business purpose and if so, to whom, and the retention for each category of personal information:

 

Your rights and choices

Data access rights

• The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).

Right to delete

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions (the "right to delete"). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity, we will review your request to see if an exception allowing us to retain the information applies. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

1. Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, or otherwise perform our contract with you.

We will delete or deidentify personal information not subject to one of these exceptions from our records and will direct our service providers to take similar action.

Exercising your rights to know or delete

To exercise your rights to know or delete described above, please submit a request by either:

• Calling us toll-free at +1 440.510.0050
• Emailing us at mcsinfo@m-controls.com

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request to know or delete related to your personal information. A third party can submit a request on your behalf with written authorization from you. The third-party can be an individual or a business entity. If you wish to appoint a business entity, the business entity must be registered to conduct business with the California Secretary of State. The written authorization from you must be included when the request is made. For further information, please send an email to mcsinfo@m-controls.com. You may only submit a request to know twice within a 12-month period. Your request to know or delete must:

• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative, which may include:
  • Confirming at least three (3) information points of your information we maintain
  • Complying with our request for additional verification information.
• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We 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. We will only use personal information provided in the request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make it.

Response timing and format

We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) business days. If you do not receive confirmation within the 10-day timeframe, please contact.

We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another 45 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 our receipt of your request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Non-discrimination

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

• Deny you goods or services.
• Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
• Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
