- YOU HAVE RIGHTS REGARDING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Depending on your state of residency and subject to certain legal limitations and exceptions, you may be able to exercise some or all of the following rights, which are provided to California residents under the CCPA Regulations, or rights afforded to you by other laws:
- Right to Know: The right to confirm whether we are processing Personal Information about you and to obtain certain personalized details about the Personal Information we have collected about you, including:
- The categories of Personal Information collected;
- The categories of sources of the Personal Information;
- The purposes for which the Personal Information were collected;
- The categories of Personal Information disclosed to third parties (if any), and the categories of recipients to whom this Personal Information was disclosed;
- The categories of Personal Information shared for targeted advertising purposes (if any), and the categories of recipients to whom the personal information were disclosed for these purposes; and

- Right to Access & Portability: The right to obtain access to the Personal Information we have collected about you and, where required by law, the right to obtain a copy of the 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 Correction: The right to correct inaccuracies in your Personal Information, taking into account the nature of the Personal Information and the purposes of the processing of the Personal Information.
- Right to Control Over Sensitive Personal Information: Certain Personal Information, such as biometric information or precise geolocation information, is considered to be Sensitive Personal Information under the CCPA Regulations. Under the CCPA Regulations, you have the right to opt out of the processing of Sensitive Personal Information in many circumstances or to limit the use of Sensitive Personal Information processing. If you are resident of other states, you may have the right to consent to processing of Sensitive Personal Information.
We do not collect or process any Sensitive Personal Information without your consent or use Sensitive Personal Information for any purpose. As a result, we do not and are not required to provide you with a right to limit the use of your Sensitive Personal Information.
- Right to Deletion: The right to have us delete Personal Information we maintain about you. If you are a resident of the State of California under the age of 18, you may also request and obtain removal of user-generated content you have posted on our platform (though note that such as request does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of all
user-generated content, particularly where user-generated content has been republished or reposted by another user of third party).
- Right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of Personal Information: Berluti does not knowingly “sell” Personal Information for direct monetary compensation. However, the meaning of “sale” under the CCPA Regulations is broad and may include certain transfers of information to third parties through the use of cookies or other tracking technology (or collectively, “cookies”). We use these cookies to personalize your online experience, for statistical analysis and for marketing and advertising purposes, including to offer you advertisements that target your specific interests, to track your use of our Platform, and to analyze the performance of our advertising campaigns. Personal Information disclosed to third parties, such as marketing and advertising networks and social platforms, may be deemed a “sale” or “sharing” under the CCPA Regulations. Under the CCPA Regulations, you have the right to opt out of the “sale” of Personal Information or the “sharing” of Personal Information for targeted advertising purposes. Accordingly, you have the right to reject all cookies except functional cookies (rejecting all cookies will opt you out of all “sales” and “sharing” for targeted advertising purposes). If you visit us from a different device or browser, or clear cookies, you may need to re-select your preferences. Please note that even if you opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your Personal Information, Berluti or our service providers may track your use of our website. You may opt out of the sale of your Personal Information by clicking on our “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link on our website homepage.
- Opt-Out Preference Signals (Do Not Track). Opt-out preference signals provide consumers with an easy-to-use method to notify businesses that they do not want their Personal Information shared with other third parties for advertising or marketing purposes unrelated to the purpose for which the Personal Information was collected. We process opt-out preference signals that meet the following requirements: (1) the signal is in a format commonly used and recognized by us, such as an HTTP header field and (2) the platform, technology, or mechanism that sends the signal must make clear that the signal is meant to have the effect of opting you out of sharing your Personal Information. We currently respond to the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signal.
- Automated Decision-Making. We do not conduct automated processing of Personal Information for the purposes of evaluating, analyzing, or predicting an individual’s personal aspects in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects. As a result, we do not provide a right to exercise control over such forms of automated decision-making.
- Right to Request a List of Third Parties. Depending on your state of residency, you may have the right to request third parties with whom your data has been sent.
Rights of California-resident job applicants. Berluti processes job applicant Personal Information for purposes including but not limited to the application process and, as applicable, employment onboarding services such as benefits administration, health and safety, and other business-related purposes. We may also use job applicant Personal Information for legal and regulatory compliance purposes. How we treat this Personal Information is in compliance with this Policy. As a California resident job applicant, you have the same rights regarding your Personal Information as California-resident consumers, subject to exceptions enumerated by law.
