HOW WE SECURE YOUR INFORMATION
The security of your information is important to us. Wholesale101.com takes a number of precautions — including administrative, technical, and physical measures — designed to safeguard your personal information

RETENTION OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We retain your personal information as follows:
The period during which we store your personal information varies depending on the purpose for the processing:

· For marketing purposes, until you have opted out of receiving further direct marketing communications in accordance with applicable law.
· In all other cases, we store your personal information for as long as is needed to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy or such retention period as required by law, following which time it is either anonymized (where permitted by applicable law), deleted or destroyed.
USE OF COOKIES AND OTHER DATA COLLECTION TOOLS
Like many website owners and operators, we use automated data collection tools such as Cookies and Web Beacons to collect certain information.
“Cookies” are small text files that are placed on your device by a Web server when you access a website. To enable our systems to recognize your browser or device and to provide and improve the Services, we may use both session Cookies and persistent Cookies. We may also use Cookies to monitor aggregate usage and web traffic routing on our Services and to customize our Services. Unlike persistent Cookies, session Cookies are deleted when you log off and close your browser.
Although most browsers automatically accept Cookies, you can change your browser options to stop automatically accepting Cookies or to prompt you before accepting Cookies. Please note, however, that if you don’t accept Cookies, you may not be able to access all portions or features of the Services. Some third-party service providers that we engage (including third-party advertisers) may also place their own Cookies on your device. Note that this Policy covers only our use of Cookies and does not include use of Cookies by such third-parties.
“Web Beacons” (also known as Web bugs, pixel tags or clear GIFs) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that may be used for several purposes, including to deliver or communicate with Cookies, to track and measure the performance of our Services, to monitor how many visitors view our Site, and to monitor the effectiveness of our advertising. Unlike Cookies, which are stored on the user’s device, Web Beacons are typically embedded invisibly on web pages (or in an e-mail).
We support the development and implementation of a standard “do not track” browser feature that provides customers with control over the collection and use of information about their web-browsing activities.
MINORS
You must be at least 18 years old (or equivalent minimum age in the jurisdiction where you reside) to use the Services.

Last updated: May 2024
If you are a resident of California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, or any other state that has enacted applicable data protection regulations (the “Supplemental States”), the following provisions may apply to our processing of personal information as described in our Privacy Policy. Please note that Wholesale101.com may not be subject to certain of these Supplemental States regulations, but we provide the rights listed below with respect to your personal information.
Wholesale101.com values the privacy of our customers, users and Site visitors and we take measures to implement reasonable security controls for the protection of our clients’ information. This section does not apply to our collection, use, and sharing of personal information of our job applicants and employees.
Your Rights. If you are a resident of a Supplemental State, you may have certain rights related to your personal information. The rights listed below are not absolute, and we may be entitled to refuse requests, wholly or in part, where exceptions under applicable law apply. Your rights may include:
· The right to request access to personal information that we have collected or retained about you. If requested, we shall provide you with a copy of your personal information which we collected as permitted by the Supplemental States privacy laws. You also have the right to receive your personal information in a structured and commonly used format so that it can be transferred to another entity (“data portability”).
· The right to request to know:

· The right to request that we delete personal information about you which we have collected from you.
o In certain circumstances, 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. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (instructions and description below), we will delete, and, as applicable, direct our service providers to delete, your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.
o We may deny your request to delete your personal information if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers, subject to certain exemptions based on your state of residence.
· The right to opt-out/do not sell or share your personal information.
o You may have the right to opt-out of selling or sharing your personal information with third parties for some purposes, including sharing that may be defined as a sale under applicable Supplemental States laws. We do not sell your personal information in a traditional sense, that is, for monetary value. We do disclose personal information for business purposes as outlined in our “How we Share Your Information” section of our Privacy Policy.
o You also may have a right to opt-out of the use of automated decision-making technology.
· The right to request that we do not share or disclose your sensitive personal information.
o You have the right to limit how your sensitive personal information is disclosed or share with third parties. We will not share your sensitive personal information without your consent.

We summarize the personal information we collect by reference below to both categories defined in the “Information We Collect” section of the Privacy Policy.
