How We Use and Disclose Categories of Personal Information. Throughout this Policy we describe the methods we use to collect Personal Information, how we use that Personal Information and who we disclose that Personal Information to. Please refer to the applicable sections above for more detailed information. References in this Policy to Baker’s use or disclosure of Personal Information for business purposes include the following business purposes:

• To fulfill or meet the reason you provided the information. For example, if you share your name and contact information to ask a question about our products or Services, we will use that Personal Information to respond to your inquiry. If you provide your Personal Information to purchase a product or service, we will use that information to process your payment and complete the associated transactions. We may also save your Personal Information to maintain a record of your transactions, responding to any disputes regard the transactions, and to facilitate future transactions. If you submit a review of our Services, products or your experience with Baker, we may post that submission on our Site, without identifying you by your full name or address.
• To provide, support, personalize and develop our Site.
• To create, maintain, customize and secure your account with us.
• To process your requests, purchases, transactions and payments and prevent transactional fraud.
• To provide you with support and to respond to your inquiries, including to investigate and address your concerns and monitor and improve our responses.
• To personalize your experience on our Site and to deliver content and product and service offerings relevant to your interests, including targeted offers and ads through our Services, third party sites and via email or text message (with your consent, where required by law).
• To help maintain the safety, security and integrity of our Services, databases and other technology assets and our business.
• For testing, research, analysis and product development, including to develop and improve our Site.
• To respond to law enforcement requests and as required by applicable law, court order or governmental regulations.
• As described to you when collecting your Personal Information or as otherwise set forth in the CCPA.

Use of Information:

Sales of Personal Information. In the past 12 months, Baker has not sold Personal Information.

Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights. You have the right to request that Baker disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of Personal Information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you, based on what you request:

• The categories of Personal Information we collected about you.
• The categories of sources for the Personal Information we collected about you.
• Our business and/or commercial purposes for collecting or selling that Personal Information.
• The categories of third parties with whom we shared that Personal Information.
• The specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you (also known as a data portability request).
• If we sold or disclosed your Personal Information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing: (1) sales, identifying the Personal Information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and (2) disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the Personal Information categories that each category of recipient obtained.

Deletion Request Rights. You have the right to request that Baker 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 (see How to Exercise Your Rights), we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your Personal Information from our records, unless an exception applies. Please note, due to applicable laws and regulations, you will be unable to use some of our Site if your Personal Information is deleted.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:

• Complete the transaction for which we collected the Personal Information, provide a good or service you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you or otherwise perform our contract with you.
• Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
• Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
• Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
• Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.).
• Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
• Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
• Comply with a legal obligation.
• Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

How to Exercise Your Rights. To exercise the access, data portability and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by emailing us at: info@bakerengineering.com

Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, 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 only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative of that person.
• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request to exercise your access, data portability and/or deletion rights 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. However, we do consider requests made through your password-protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to Personal Information associated with that specific account.

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 attempt to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days after we receive it. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing within 45 days after we receive your initial request.

We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period prior to the date we receive the verifiable consumer request. The response we provide will also provide 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 rights under the CCPA. 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.
• Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or Services or a different level or quality of goods or Services.

However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your Personal Information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt-in consent, which you may revoke at any time.
