 ## II. To Which Personal Information Processing Does This Notice Apply?
 Acronis (as Controller) collects personal information from or about you as follows:
 Opt-out for non-cookie-related personal information: If you want to limit our processing of your non-cookie personal information (e.g., your email address) for Targeted Advertising or opt-out of the Sale/Sharing of such personal information, please make an opt-out request as described below in the "How to Exercise Privacy Rights" section below. To stop receiving promotional emails from Acronis, please click the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of the email. After you opt out, Acronis may send you non-promotional communications, such as receipts for purchases or administrative information about your account. To stop receiving promotional text messages (SMS or MMS), please send a text message back to Acronis indicating that you wish to stop receiving promotional text messages from us. Opt-out for cookie-related personal information: If you want to limit our Processing of your cookie-related personal information for Targeted Advertising or opt-out of the Sale/Sharing of that personal information, you need to exercise a separate opt-out request on by using our Privacy Preference Center. This is because we use different technologies to apply preferences for opting out of cookie personal information vs. non-cookie personal information. Our Privacy Preference Center enables you to exercise an opt-out request and enable certain cookie preferences on your browser / device. You must exercise your preferences on the Acronis Services that you use and from each browser you use and on each device that you use. Since your browser opt-out is designated by a cookie, if you clear or block cookies, your preferences are no longer effective and you must enable them again by clicking on the "Your Privacy Choices" link in the footer of [www.acronis.com](https://www.acronis.com/www.acronis.com) (if loaded from California) or using [https://www.acronis.com/en-us/legal/#cookies](https://www.acronis.com/en-us/legal/) Please also refer to our Cookie Policy for other ways to exercise preferences regarding cookies. If you use ad blocking software, our cookie banner may not appear when you visit the Acronis Services and you may need to use the link above to access the Privacy Preference Center.
 Acronis honors the Global Privacy Control (GPC) and similar technology (sometimes called Universal Opt-Out Mechanisms), as specified by the U.S. Privacy Laws.
 Acronis relies on third-party providers for obtaining geo-IP location information, including when enabling or disabling cookies and honoring GPC signals.

We will use good faith efforts to determine and correct the problem. We do not knowingly Sell or Share the personal information of Consumers under age 16, unless we receive affirmative (opt-in) authorization from either the Consumer who is between age 13 and 16 or the parent or guardian of a Consumer who is less than age 13. If you think Acronis may have unknowingly collected personal information of a Consumer under age 16, please contact us using the information in [How to Contact Acronis](https://www.acronis.com/en/company/privacy-rights-notice/).

 \. **Verification of Privacy Rights Requests**
 We may ask you to provide verifying information, such as your name, email, telephone number and/or account information, before we act on your request. We will review the information provided and may request additional information. We will not fulfill your Right to Know (Categories), Right to Know (Specific Pieces), Right to Delete or Right to Correction request unless you have provided sufficient information for us to reasonably verify you are the Consumer about whom we collected personal information. We do not verify opt-outs of Sell/Share/Target or Limitation of Sensitive personal information requests unless we suspect fraud. We verify each request as follows:
 - Right to Access/Know (Categories): We verify your Request to Access/Know categories of personal information to a reasonable degree of certainty. If we cannot do so, we will refer you to this Notice for a general description of our privacy practices.
 - Correction: We verify your Request to Correct Personal Information to a reasonable degree of certainty depending on the sensitivity of the personal information and the risk of harm for unauthorized correction.
 To protect Consumers, if we are unable to verify a privacy rights request, we are unable to honor the request. We will use personal information provided in a verified privacy rights request only to verify identity or authority to make the privacy rights request and to track and document responses unless Acronis also received the personal information for another purpose.
 \. **Agent Requests**
+You may use an authorized agent to make a privacy rights request for you. Before you can authorize an agent, Acronis requires that you complete and submit a form at [https://support.acronis.com/submit-ticket](https://support.acronis.com/submit-ticket), as described in our dedicated Knowledge Base article: [https://kb.acronis.com/authorized\_agent](https://kb.acronis.com/authorized_agent), email us at [\[email protected\]](https://www.acronis.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#a9cdc8ddc884d9dbc6ddcccaddc0c6c784c6cfcfc0cacce9c8cadbc6c7c0da87cac6c4) or call us at [+18885687931](tel:+18885687931) (toll-free). We also may require you to directly confirm that you authorized the agent to submit the request. Once confirmed, your Authorized Agent may exercise privacy rights on your behalf, subject to the requirements of applicable law.

Please use the same email address that you used to submit the initial privacy rights request to submit your Request to Appeal and please add "Request to Appeal" in the subject line of the email. If you do not use the same email address, Acronis cannot link your Request to Appeal to your initial privacy rights request.

If you do not use the same email address, Acronis cannot link your Request to Appeal to your initial privacy rights request.
 \. **Acronis' Responses**
 Some personal information that we maintain is insufficiently specific for us to be able to associate it with a verified Consumer (e.g., data tied only to a pseudonymous browser ID). We do not include that personal information in response to those requests. If we deny a request, in whole or in part, Acronis will explain the reasons in our response.
 Acronis will make commercially reasonable efforts to identify personal information that we process to respond to a privacy rights request. In some cases, particularly with voluminous and/or typically irrelevant data, we may suggest you receive the most recent or a summary of your personal information and give you the opportunity to elect whether you want the rest. We reserve the right to direct you to where you may access and copy responsive personal information yourself. We will typically do not charge a fee to fully respond to your requests; provided, however, that we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act upon a request, if your request is excessive, repetitive, unfounded or overly burdensome. If we determine that the request warrants a fee or that we may refuse it, we will give you notice explaining why we made that decision. You will be provided a cost estimate and the opportunity to accept such fees before we will charge you for responding to your request.
 **3\. Our Rights and the Rights of Others**
 Acronis may collect, use and disclose your personal information as required or permitted by applicable law, which may override your rights under U.S. Privacy Laws. Acronis is not required to honor requests if doing so would infringe Acronis' or another party's rights or conflict with applicable law.
 **4\. California Shine the Light Law**
+Acronis does not share "personal information," as defined by California's "Shine the Light" law, with third parties for those third parties own direct marketing purposes, unless we have consent for this sharing. California residents may opt-out of this sharing by contacting us at [\[email protected\]](https://www.acronis.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#98fcf9ecf9b5e8eaf7ecfdfbecf1f7f6b5f7fefef1fbfdd8f9fbeaf7f6f1ebb6fbf7f5) or Burlington, MA 1, Van de Graaff Drive, Suite 301, Burlington, MA, 01803 (Attn: Privacy).

 Please add the statement "Shine the Light Request" in the subject line and in the body of your correspondence. Please also attest to the fact that you are a California resident and provide a current California address for your response. This right is available in addition to CCPA rights and requires a separate request. The Do Not Sell/Share/Target opt-out is broader and will limit our sharing with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes without the need for making a separate Shine the Light request.
 Acronis will not accept Shine the Light Requests by telephone or by fax and is not responsible for Shine the Light Requests not properly labeled or sent or that are incomplete.
