We track this click-through to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure whether we are communicating with you effectively.

Targeted Advertising

We may engage in targeted advertising. This form of advertising includes various parties and service providers engaged in the processing of Personal Data in connection with advertising tailored to individual interests. These parties may be able to identify you across sites, devices, and over time. The parties that control the processing of Personal Data for targeted advertising purposes may create or leverage information derived from your profile and certain marketing communications. In some cases, these parties may also develop and assess aspects of a profile about you to determine whether you are a type of person to whom a company wants to advertise and to determine whether and how ads you see are effective. These third parties may augment your profile with demographic and other Inference Data derived from these observations, and may also track whether you view, interact with, or how often you have seen an ad, and whether you complete a purchase for a good or service you were shown in an advertisement.

There may be situations where we cannot grant your request, e.g. if Corsair is legally obligated to keep Personal Data to comply with applicable law. We may also decline to grant a request where our legitimate use of the data outweighs individual privacy concerns, e.g. in relation to anti-fraud and security purposes, or a request for deletion of an account that is being investigated for security concerns. We may also deny your privacy request if it jeopardizes the privacy of others, is frivolous or vexatious, and where applicable law allows the denial.

EEA/UK/Swiss Privacy Rights

Users based in the EEA/UK/Switzerland (“User”) have the following legal rights with respect to their information:

  • The right to require Corsair to confirm whether or not their information is being processed, the purpose of any such processing, the recipients of any information that has been disclosed, the period for which their information is to be stored, and whether any automated decision-making processes are used in relation to their information;
  • The right to require Corsair to rectify inaccurate information without undue delay;
  • The right to request the erasure of their information. Subject to certain conditions, Corsair may be required to erase the information in response to such request where:
    • the information is no longer necessary in relation to the purpose for which it was collected, such as where a User chooses to terminate his or her use of the Service;
    • the processing of the information is based on the User’s consent (and the other circumstances described in the Legal Bases for Processing Your Information and Corsair’s Sharing of Personal Data sections above no longer apply), if the User withdraws his or her consent; or
    • the User objects to the processing of his or her information and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing.
  • Where Corsair has disclosed the information of an EEA/UK user to a third party and the user requests the erasure or rectification of the data, Corsair will take all reasonable steps to inform the third party of such request.
  • The right to restrict Corsair from processing User information in certain circumstances, such as where the accuracy of that information is disputed or an objection has been raised (see below). In such circumstances, Corsair will only process that information with the express consent of the User, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest;
  • User’s right to receive their information from Corsair in a structured, commonly-used and machine-readable format;
  • User’s right to object to the processing of their information by Corsair where:
    • Corsair has relied on the “legitimate interest” basis for processing that information, in which case we will immediately stop processing the User’s information unless we have compelling legitimate grounds which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the User; or
    • the information is used for direct marketing purposes, in which case we will immediately stop processing the User’s information for such purposes; and
  • The right to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority of the EU member state where the User resides or the data protection supervisory authority in the UK (where applicable).

The above legal rights are subject to various conditions and exceptions, including where the data is used for statistical or scientific research purposes, and the exercise of the right would prevent such purposes from being attained or would seriously impair their attainment.

You may request a list of Personal Data we have disclosed about you to third parties for direct marketing purposes during the preceding calendar year.

Right to Know

You may request that, for Personal Data that we have collected in the preceding 12 months, we disclose, free of charge (unless your requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive) (1) the categories of Personal Data we have collected about you, or that we have sold, or disclosed for a Commercial Purpose; (2) the categories of sources from which your Personal Data was collected; (3) the business or Commercial Purpose for which we collected or sold your Personal Data; (4) the categories of third parties to whom we have sold your Personal Data or disclosed it for a business purpose; and (5) the specific pieces of Personal Data we have collected about you.

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

You may direct us, at any time, not to sell your Personal Data. We may sell personal information as defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”). Under the CCPA, “sell” means sell, rent, release, disclose, disseminate, make available, transfer, or otherwise communicate orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means a consumer’s personal information by the business to another business or a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration. The law contains exceptions to this definition which may limit how we respond to your direction.

Nondiscrimination

We may not discriminate against you because you exercised any of your rights under the CCPA, including, but not limited to, by: (A) denying goods or services to you; (B) charging different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties; (C) providing a different level or quality of goods or services to you; or (D) suggesting that you will receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

However, nothing prohibits us from charging you a different price or rate, or from providing a different level or quality of goods or services to you, if that difference is reasonably related to the value provided to us by your data.

We may offer financial incentives, including payments to you as compensation, for the collection of personal information, the sale of personal information, the retention of personal information, or the deletion of personal information. We may also offer a different price, rate, level, or quality of goods or services to you if that price or difference is directly related to the value provided to us by your data.

Verification of Requests

Before we can fulfill the requests to know and delete your personal information , we must verify your identity. If you have a password-protected account with us, we can verify your identity through our existing authentication procedures for your account. However, we will require you to re-authenticate yourself before we can disclose or delete any of your personal information.

If you do not have a password-protected account with us, we will require you to provide us with two types of information to verify your identity. This information may include your name, telephone number, email address, or home address, as well as supplemental information, such as purchase data or other unique information in your account. We may also require you to provide a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the consumer whose personal information is the subject of the request. We will match this information to the Personal Data we maintain.

You can also authorize another person, called an agent, to exercise your rights on your behalf. You must provide the authorized agent written and signed permission to act on your behalf. We may deny requests to opt out from an authorized agent who does not submit proof that he or she has been authorized to act on your behalf. Furthermore, we may require you to verify your identity directly with us. We may also require you to directly confirm with us that you have provided the authorized agent permission to submit a request on your behalf. An authorized agent can make a request on your behalf by emailing us at [email protected].
