YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS
If you are a California resident, California law may provide you with additional rights regarding Lax World’s use of your Personal Information under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). Depending on the circumstances and which Services you use, Lax World has disclosed the following categories of your Personal Information for a “business purpose” (as defined in the CCPA) in the preceding twelve (12) months: identifiers; protected characteristics; commercial information; geolocation data; internet or other electronic network activity information; financial, medical, or health insurance information; audio, electronic, visual, thermal, olfactory, or similar information; professional information; education information; and inferences drawn from any of the aforementioned information categories. For more details about the Personal Information Lax World collected over the last 12 months, please see the WHAT INFORMATION IS COLLECTED? section above. Lax World collects this information for, among other things, the business and commercial purposes described in the HOW DOES LAX WORLD USE THE INFORMATION IT COLLECTS? section below. Lax World shares this information with, among others, the categories of third parties described in the HOW LAX WORLD SHARES AND DISCLOSES YOUR INFORMATION section below.
Lax World does not “Sell” (as such term is defined in the CCPA) the Personal Information it collects but may in the future. The CCPA considers some transfers of Personal Information to third parties in exchange for value as a “Sale,” even if no money changes hands, such as when online identifiers, Device IDs, and other information is shared with third-party businesses to further their own commercial purposes such as generating profiles about individuals. In the event Lax World decides to Sell your Personal Information, California residents have the right to opt out of the Sale. Please note that Lax World can still share Personal Information with third parties if those transfers aren’t “sales,” such as with Lax World’s Service Providers (as defined in the CCPA). Additionally, Lax World may use third-party cookies for advertising purposes, as further described above.
Subject to certain limitations, the CCPA permits Users of the Services that are California residents to (i) request more information regarding Lax World’s collection of specific categories or pieces of information (including how Lax World uses and discloses the information), (ii) request that Lax World delete your Personal Information (iii) request to opt out of any “sales” that may be occurring, and (iv) not be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights.
California residents may make such a request pursuant to their rights under the CCPA by sending an email to [email protected]. Lax World will verify your request using the information associated with your account, including your email address. Government identification may be required. California residents may also designate an authorized agent to exercise these rights on their behalf. To learn more about your California privacy rights email [email protected] or visit https://www.caprivacy.org.
California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits users of the Services that are California residents to request certain information regarding Lax World’s disclosure of Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send an email to [email protected] or write to Lax World at the address below.

Does Lax World Disclose Information to Outside Parties?
Lax World may share your information to individuals outside of Lax World, including, without limitation, its affiliates, Service Providers, or any third parties. Currently, Lax World does not Sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information for a referral fee, but it may do so in the future. Lax World, in its sole discretion, may also release your information when it believes release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce Services policies, or protect Lax World’s or others’ rights, property, or safety. Additional non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
Business Transfers
As Lax World continues to grow and develop its business, it is possible that its corporate structure might change or that it might merge or otherwise combine with, or that substantially all of its assets might be acquired by, another company. In any such transactions, customer information generally is, will most probably be, and should be expected to be one of the transferred business assets.
HOW DOES LAX WORLD USE THE INFORMATION IT COLLECTS?
In addition to the uses mentioned or described above, Lax World uses the information that it collects from or about you to improve the materials, products, and other services that it makes available on the Services, to notify you of changes made to the Services or new products or services made available on or through the Services, to evaluate your needs and customize content delivered through the Services to you according to those needs, to facilitate the processing of any purchases or uses you make through the Services, to send you promotional material from Lax World and its affiliates, and for other legitimate and lawful business purposes of Lax World. Other than to the extent necessary or convenient for Lax World to perform the Terms of Service, Lax World may share information collected about you with third parties, such as for certain special programs that it offers in connection with some of its business affiliates, which may involve special promotions and/or pricing, and in which you may or may not be participating. Should you register as a participant in one of those programs, Lax World will acknowledge your registration and notify its applicable business affiliates of your registration, thereby enabling you to receive the corresponding program benefits. At this time, which may be subject to change in Lax World’s sole discretion, it is Lax World’s policy not to sell lists containing Personal Information about Users, purchasers, registrants, or subscribers; however, Lax World may in the future sell lists containing Personal Information, contact information, including the name, email, and mailing address, or a combination thereof, about Users, purchasers, registrants, or subscribers.

HOW DOES LAX WORLD PROTECT INFORMATION COLLECTED ABOUT YOU?
Lax World places a high value on protecting information transmitted via the Services. For this reason, Lax World uses state-of-the-art security solutions to process payments and to provide secure communication methods. Lax World’s payment services providers use industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology to safeguard User information. Other security safeguards include, but are not limited to, third-party payment processors, data encryption, firewalls, and physical access controls to buildings and files. Lax World does not store payment information. Lax World takes commercially reasonable measures to secure and protect customer-specific information transmitted via the Services. However, no security system is impenetrable. LAX WORLD CANNOT AND DOES NOT GUARANTEE AND HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS THAT INFORMATION USERS SUPPLY TO LAX WORLD OR ON THE SERVICES WILL BE TOTALLY SECURE.
HOW LONG DOES LAX WORLD KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
Lax World will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes it collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements. Lax World may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if it reasonably believes there is a prospect of litigation in respect to its relationship with you. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, Lax World considers the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which it processes your personal data, and whether it can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or other requirements.
LINKED SITES
For your convenience, some hyperlinks may be posted on the Website or App that link to other websites not under the control of Lax World. Other company logos may also be posted on the Website or App as service providers to Lax World or Users. Please note that this Privacy Policy applies only to the Services and not to other websites of other organizations to which it may link. Lax World is not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of any other third-party sites. You should make your own inquiries regarding them. In addition, when you initiate a transaction on a website that the Website or App links to, even if you reached that site through the Website or App, the information that you submit to complete that transaction becomes subject to the privacy practices of the owner of that linked site. You should read their privacy policies to understand how they use and protect Personal Information that they collect. Lax World is not responsible for the privacy or information practices of its suppliers or any third-party websites.
WHAT CHOICES DO YOU HAVE?
You may update at any time the information about you derived from information you have provided to Lax World. You may also ask Lax World at any time to remove your name from the list of Users who wish to receive electronic communications and email advertisements from Lax World or its affiliates by simply sending such a request to Lax World at the addresses given below. Once you opt out, Lax World will honor your choice until you inform it otherwise. Please remember, however, that if Lax World has already shared information about you pursuant to your registration and participation in any special programs of its business affiliates (as described above), Lax World has no control over how such business affiliates may further use that information, and you will need to contact them directly in that regard.
Subject to applicable law, you also have the right to (i) restrict Lax World’s use of information that constitutes your personal data and (ii) lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. If you are a resident of the European Economic Area and believe Lax World maintains your personal data within the scope of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), you may direct your questions or complaints to Lax World or your local supervisory authority.
YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
You have the right to any of the following at any time:
Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data Lax World holds about you and to check that it is lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the personal data that Lax World holds about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data Lax World holds about you corrected, though it may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to it.
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask Lax World to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for it continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask Lax World to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where Lax World may have processed your information unlawfully, or where Lax World is required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that Lax World may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons, which will be notified to you, if applicable, within a reasonable amount of time after your request.
Object to processing of your personal data where Lax World is relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation that makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where Lax World is processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, Lax World may demonstrate that it has compelling legitimate grounds to process your information, which override your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask Lax World to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
- If you want Lax World to establish the data’s accuracy.
- Where Lax World’s use of the data is unlawful, but you do not want Lax World to erase it.
- Where you need Lax World to hold the data even if Lax World no longer requires it as you need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
- You have objected to Lax World’s use of your data, but Lax World needs to verify whether it has overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. Lax World will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information that you initially provided consent for Lax World to use or where Lax World used the information to perform a contract with you.
Withdraw consent at any time where Lax World is relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, Lax World may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. Lax World will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
Any request made by you will be processed within thirty (30) days of you providing notice to Lax World.
