The Sites is not designed or intended to attract, and is not directed to, children under eighteen (18) years of age. ES OpCo does not knowingly collect personal information through the Sites from any person under eighteen (18) years of age.

ES OpCo does not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under sixteen (16) years of age.
If you are under eighteen (18) years of age, then you (or your parent or legal guardian) may at any time request that ES OpCo remove content or information about you that is posted on the Sites. Please submit any such request (“Request for Removal of Minor Information”) to privacy@veseris.com, with a subject line of “Removal of Minor Information.”
For each Request for Removal of Minor Information, please state “Removal of Minor Information” in the email or letter subject line, and clearly state the following in the body:
ES OpCo is not responsible for failing to comply with any Request for Removal of Minor Information that is incomplete, incorrectly labeled or incorrectly sent.
Please note that the aforementioned removal process does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of such content or information posted on the Sites.
Also, please note that ES OpCo is not required to erase or otherwise eliminate, or to enable erasure or elimination of, such content or information in certain circumstances, such as, for example, when an international, federal, state, or local law, rule or regulation requires ES OpCo to maintain the content or information; when the content or information is stored on or posted to the Sites by a third party other than you (including any content or information posted by you that was stored, republished or reposted by the third party); when ES OpCo anonymizes the content or information, so that you cannot be individually identified; when you do not follow the aforementioned instructions for requesting the removal of the content or information; and when you have received compensation or other consideration for providing the content or information.
The foregoing is a description of ES OpCo’s voluntary practices concerning the collection of personal information through the Sites from certain minors, and is not intended to be an admission that ES OpCo is subject to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, the Federal Trade Commission’s Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule(s), or any similar international, federal, state, or local laws, rules, or regulations.
Categories of Information Collected. ES OpCo may collect personal and non-personal information about you through the Sites. The categories of such information are organized as follows:

In addition, if you or a third party sends ES OpCo a comment, message or other communication (such as, by way of example only, email, letter, fax, phone call, or voice message) about you or your activities on or through the Sites, then ES OpCo may collect any personal or non-personal information provided therein or therewith.

Please be advised that if you choose to block, reject, disable, delete or change the management settings for any or all of the aforementioned technologies and/or other tracking, data aggregation and data analysis technologies, then certain areas of the Sites might not function properly.

Data Retention. ES OpCo retains your personal information for as long as your account is active or as reasonably necessary to provide you with products and services, comply with its legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce its agreements. The specific retention periods depend on the nature of the information, the purposes for which it is used, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The following are general guidelines, and actual retention periods may vary based on operational and legal considerations. Account information (e.g., name, contact details, login credentials) is generally retained for as long as your account remains active and for a reasonable period thereafter to allow for account reactivation, to respond to inquiries, or as required by applicable law. Transactional information (e.g., order history, payment records, shipping details) is generally retained in accordance with applicable tax, financial reporting, and regulatory record-keeping requirements, which typically require retention for a period of at least seven (7) years following the date of the transaction. Usage information and technical data (e.g., browsing activity, IP addresses, device information) is generally retained in identifiable form for a period reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, after which it is either deleted or converted to Aggregated Statistics. ES OpCo may dispose of or delete any personal information or non-personal information at any time, except as set forth in any other agreement executed by both you and ES OpCo, as required by applicable law, or as necessary to comply with ES OpCo’s data retention obligations under applicable privacy laws.
If ES OpCo retains personal information, ES OpCo ensures: (a) it is only what is necessary; (b) it is stored securely; and (c) it is not kept longer than needed, or as necessary to comply with applicable law.
Transactions. In connection with any transaction that you conduct on, through, or in relation to the Sites, you may be asked to supply certain information relevant to the transaction, including your credit card number and expiration date, your billing address, your shipping address, your phone number, and your email address (collectively, “Transaction Data”). By submitting Transaction Data, you acknowledge and agree that ES OpCo may disclose such Transaction Data to third-party service providers (e.g., payment processing companies, online shopping cart providers) as reasonably necessary to process, fulfill, and complete the transaction, and to provide related customer support. ES OpCo requires its third-party service providers to use Transaction Data solely for the purpose of performing services on ES OpCo’s behalf and in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable law. ES OpCo retains Transaction Data only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the transaction, provide post-transaction support, and comply with applicable legal, tax, and regulatory record-keeping requirements, as described in Section 6. ES OpCo may offer to sell or sell merchandise and other products to you on or through the Sites, with the sales transaction taking place through an online shopping cart feature (“Shopping Cart”). The Shopping Cart is provided by a third-party vendor. ES OpCo’s relationship with that vendor is contractual in nature, and that vendor is not subject to ES OpCo’s direction or control; accordingly, ES OpCo is not responsible for that vendor’s privacy practices. You should review the applicable third-party vendor’s privacy policy before submitting your Transaction Data through the Shopping Cart.
Third Party Applications and Networks. The Sites and/or any communications sent through or as a function of the Sites may contain links to third-party websites, networks, platforms, servers and/or applications. Third-party websites, networks, platforms, servers and/or applications may also contain links to the Sites. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ES OPCO IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR, AND YOU HEREBY RELEASE ES OPCO FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY WHICH MAY ARISE FROM, SUCH THIRD PARTY WEBSITES, NETWORKS, PLATFORMS, SERVERS AND APPLICATIONS (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE PRIVACY POLICIES AND PRACTICES OF SUCH THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES, NETWORKS, PLATFORMS, SERVERS, AND APPLICATIONS).
You may have the opportunity to access the Sites using your online user accounts with certain third-party websites, networks, platforms, servers or applications, which may be subject to separate privacy policies pertaining to those third-party websites, networks, platforms, servers or applications. ES OpCo may also collect information from those third-party websites, networks, platforms, servers or applications (such as, for example, your name, gender, date of birth and personal interests, when you “like” or click links provided by or through those third-party websites, networks, platforms, servers, or applications and other information available through your online account or page with those third-party websites, networks, platforms, servers or applications). IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CAREFULLY READ, ACCEPT AND COMPLY WITH THE RELEVANT TERMS OF USE, WAIVERS, AND PRIVACY POLICIES ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES, NETWORKS, PLATFORMS, SERVERS AND APPLICATIONS.
Security. ES OpCo implements commercially reasonable security measures to help protect the personal information it collects through the Sites. These measures include encrypted data transmission using HTTPS/TLS protocols, session-based authentication, role-based access controls for internal personnel, and periodic security assessments.
To help maintain the security of your personal information, ES OpCo asks that you please notify ES OpCo immediately at privacy@veseris.com of any unauthorized visit, access, or use of the Sites, or the loss or unauthorized use of your user access information for the Sites (e.g., username or password).
ES OpCo also requires login/password information for you to access your account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your passwords. ES OpCo has the right to assume that anyone accessing the Sites using a password assigned to you has the right to do so. You will be solely responsible for the activities of anyone accessing the Sites using a password assigned to you. You must promptly change your passwords if you believe there is a risk of your password being compromised.
Regardless of the foregoing, please observe that “perfect” or “100%” security does not exist on the Internet. Therefore, your access and use of the Sites and your opening of any communications sent through or as a function of the Sites, are done at your own risk.
Your Rights and Choices. Depending on your state of residence or other applicable jurisdiction, you may have certain rights with respect to your personal information under applicable federal, state, or local privacy laws, including but not limited to comprehensive state consumer privacy statutes (collectively, “Applicable Privacy Laws”), as each may be amended or enacted from time to time. Subject to the applicable requirements and exemptions of each Applicable Privacy Law, the rights available to you may include:
To exercise any of the rights described in this Section 10, or to request that ES OpCo review, correct, or delete your personal information, or to request that ES OpCo cease using your personal information to provide you with products or services, please submit a request to privacy@veseris.com with a subject line of “Privacy Rights Request,” or write to us at the address provided in Section 15 of this Privacy Policy. In your request, please clearly state: (i) the nature of your request and the specific right(s) you wish to exercise; (ii) your name, street address, city, state, zip code, and email address; and (iii) whether you prefer to receive a response by mail or email. ES OpCo may need to verify your identity before processing your request, and may ask you to provide additional information reasonably necessary for verification purposes.
ES OpCo will respond to your request within the timeframe required by the Applicable Privacy Law, or, if no specific timeframe is mandated, within a commercially reasonable period. If ES OpCo declines to take action on your request, ES OpCo will inform you of the reasons for the denial and provide instructions for how to appeal. You may appeal any such decision by contacting ES OpCo at privacy@veseris.com with a subject line of “Privacy Rights Appeal.” ES OpCo will respond to your appeal in accordance with applicable law.
If you are an authorized agent making a request on behalf of a consumer, please contact ES OpCo at privacy@veseris.com and indicate that you are acting as an authorized agent. To verify your authority, ES OpCo requires one of the following: (a) a valid power of attorney executed under applicable state law; or (b) a signed written authorization from the consumer, accompanied by proof of your own identity, along with the consumer’s direct verification of identity with ES OpCo and written confirmation that they authorized you to submit the request on their behalf. ES OpCo may deny a request from an agent who does not submit sufficient proof of authorization.
Certain Applicable Privacy Laws require ES OpCo to recognize and honor browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”). If you use a browser or browser extension that transmits a GPC or similar opt-out preference signal, ES OpCo will treat that signal as a valid request to opt out of the sale of personal information and targeted advertising to the extent required by the Applicable Privacy Law. You do not need to take any additional action beyond enabling the signal in your browser. For more information about the Global Privacy Control, visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org.
Please note that even if you opt out of marketing communications, ES OpCo may still send you transactional or administrative communications related to your account or your use of the Sites. As of the date of this Privacy Policy, ES OpCo does not sell your personal information, as that term is defined under Applicable Privacy Laws. ES OpCo periodically reviews its use of cookies, pixels, analytics tools, and other tracking technologies to confirm whether its data practices constitute a sale of personal information or targeted advertising under Applicable Privacy Laws. You are solely responsible for the accuracy and content of your personal information, and for keeping your personal information current and correct.

We adopt this Statement to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (collectively, the “CCPA”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder by the California Privacy Protection Agency, as each may be amended from time to time. Any terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this Statement. This Statement does not apply to information collected through the Veseris Inventory Manager (“VIM”) software platform, which is governed by a separate privacy policy available within the VIM application.
Information We Collect. We collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household (“personal information”). Personal information includes “sensitive personal information,” which is described further in the table below.
The categories of personal information set forth in the chart below are those defined in the CCPA. This does not mean that all examples of that category of personal information were in fact collected, but reflects a good faith belief that, to the best of our knowledge, some of that information may have been collected. We have collected the following categories of personal information from consumers within the preceding twelve (12) months:
| Category | Examples | Collected | Shared |

Sources of Personal Information. We obtain the categories of personal information listed above from the following categories of sources:
Use of Personal Information. We may use or disclose the personal information we collect for one or more of the following business or commercial purposes:
Data Minimization and Purpose Limitation. Consistent with the CCPA, ES OpCo limits its collection, use, and retention of personal information to what is reasonably necessary and proportionate to the purposes for which the personal information was collected or processed, as disclosed in this Statement and our Privacy Policy. 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 and, where required by applicable law, obtaining your consent.
Sharing and Disclosure of Personal Information. We may disclose your personal information to a third party for a business purpose. When we disclose personal information for a business purpose, we enter a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to both keep that personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose except performing the contract.
In the preceding twelve (12) months, we have disclosed the following categories of personal information for a business purpose:
We disclose your personal information for a business purpose to the following categories of third parties:
Sale and Sharing of Personal Information. Under the CCPA/CPRA, California residents have the right to opt out of the “sale” and “sharing” of their personal information. As used in this Policy, “sell” means the disclosure of personal information to a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration, and “share” means the disclosure of personal information to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes, in each case as defined by Cal. Civ. Code §§ 1798.140(ad) and 1798.140(ah).
We do not sell personal information. We do share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes.
You may opt out of the sale and sharing of your personal information by any of the following methods:
Upon receiving your opt-out request, we will process it within fifteen (15) business days. We will not ask you to re-authorize the sale or sharing of your personal information for at least twelve (12) months following your opt-out request, unless you initiate a new transaction or interaction that requires such authorization.
Sensitive Personal Information. ES OpCo uses sensitive personal information only for purposes permitted by the CCPA, specifically:
ES OpCo does not use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics about consumers, for advertising or marketing purposes, or for any purpose other than those identified above and those permitted under Section 7027(m) of the CCPA Regulations.
Because ES OpCo does not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes other than those specified in Section 7027(m) of the CCPA Regulations, ES OpCo is not required to provide a “Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information” link on the Sites.
Data Retention. ES OpCo retains your personal information for as long as your account is active or as reasonably necessary to provide you with products and services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. The specific retention periods depend on the nature of the information, the purposes for which it is used, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The following are general guidelines, and actual retention periods may vary based on operational and legal considerations:
ES OpCo may dispose of or delete any personal information at any time, except as required by applicable law or as necessary to comply with ES OpCo’s data retention obligations under the CCPA.
Your Rights and Choices Under the CCPA. The CCPA provides California residents with the following specific rights regarding their personal information:
Right to Know/Access. You have the right to request that we disclose to you the categories of personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources from which the personal information was collected, the business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, or sharing that personal information, the categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information, and the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you. For personal information collected on or after January 1, 2022, you may request disclosure beyond the twelve (12) month period preceding your request, unless doing so would be impossible or involve disproportionate effort.
Right to Correct. You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information that we maintain about you.
Right to Delete. You have the right to request that we delete personal information that we collected from you, subject to certain exceptions permitted by the CCPA. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:
Right to Data Portability. You have the right to obtain a copy of your personal information in a portable and, to the extent technically feasible, readily usable format that allows you to transmit the data to another entity without hindrance.
Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing. You have the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information and the sharing of your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. As noted in Section 6 above, ES OpCo does not currently sell or share your personal information.
Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information. You have the right to limit our use and disclosure of your sensitive personal information to purposes authorized by the CCPA. As noted in Section 7 above, ES OpCo uses sensitive personal information only for purposes permitted by the CCPA.
Right to Non-Discrimination and Non-Retaliation. We will not discriminate or retaliate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. We will not deny you goods or services; charge you different prices or rates for goods or services; provide you a different level or quality of goods or services; or suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services, in each case as a result of you exercising your rights under the CCPA. These protections extend to employees, applicants for employment, and independent contractors.
Exercising Your CCPA Rights. To exercise the rights described in Section 9, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:
Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf (an “authorized agent”), may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.
You may make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability up to twice within a twelve (12) month period. The verifiable consumer request must: (a) provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative; and (b) 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. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
Response Timing and Format. We will confirm receipt of your verifiable consumer request within ten (10) business days of receiving the request. We will respond substantively to a verifiable consumer request to know, correct, or delete within forty-five (45) calendar days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing, and the total response time will not exceed ninety (90) calendar days from the date the request was received.
For requests to opt out of sale or sharing or to limit the use of sensitive personal information, we will comply with your request as soon as feasibly possible, and no later than fifteen (15) business days from the date the request was received.
If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. The response we provide will 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 usable 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.
Appeals. If we decline to take action on your request, we will inform you of the reasons for the denial and provide instructions for how to appeal. You may appeal any such decision by contacting us at privacy@veseris.com with a subject line of “Privacy Rights Appeal”. We will respond to your appeal in accordance with applicable law.
Opt-Out Preference Signals. Certain provisions of the CCPA require businesses to recognize and honor browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”). If you use a browser or browser extension that transmits a GPC or similar opt-out preference signal, ES OpCo will treat that signal as a valid request to opt out of the sale of personal information and targeted advertising to the extent required by the CCPA. You do not need to take any additional action beyond enabling the signal in your browser. For more information about the Global Privacy Control, visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org.
Automated Decisionmaking Technology. The following section is provided for informational purposes only and is subject to change as applicable regulations are finalized and take effect.
As of January 1, 2027, the CCPA is expected to require businesses that use automated decision making technology (“ADMT”) to make significant decisions about consumers (such as decisions related to employment, housing, financial services, education, or healthcare) to provide pre-use notices to consumers, offer the right to opt out of the business’s use of ADMT where applicable, and provide meaningful information about how the ADMT functioned with respect to the consumer. As of the date of this Statement, ES OpCo does not use ADMT to make significant decisions concerning consumers as defined by the CCPA and its implementing regulations. ES OpCo will continue to monitor regulatory developments in this area, and if applicable requirements are finalized, this Statement will be updated accordingly.
Cybersecurity Audits and Risk Assessments. The following section is provided for informational purposes only and is subject to change as applicable regulations are finalized and take effect.
Under CCPA regulations, certain businesses whose processing of consumers’ personal information meets specified statutory and regulatory thresholds may be required to conduct annual cybersecurity audits and submit certifications to the California Privacy Protection Agency, and to conduct risk assessments for processing activities that present significant risk to consumers’ privacy. These requirements apply only to businesses that meet certain revenue, data volume, or processing-activity thresholds established by the CPPA. ES OpCo will evaluate whether its processing activities meet these thresholds and will comply with any applicable requirements.
Changes to This Statement. We reserve the right to amend this Statement at our discretion and at any time. When we make material changes to this Statement, we will update the “Last Updated” date above and post a notice on our Sites. Your continued use of the Sites following the posting of any changes constitutes your acceptance of those changes. To the extent any modification to this Statement requires your consent under applicable law, ES OpCo will obtain such consent before such modification takes effect with respect to you.
Severability. If any term or condition of this Statement is deemed invalid or unenforceable by a court of law with binding authority, the remaining terms and conditions shall not be affected, and the court shall reform the invalidated or unenforceable term or condition to the maximum extent permitted under the law and consistent with the intent of this Statement.
