Verification. Requests for access, deletion, or correction of Personal Information are subject to our ability to reasonably verify your identity in light of the information requested pursuant to relevant CCPA requirements, limitations, and regulations. We may need to take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to your request. Specifically, we (or our third-party service provider acting on our behalf) may need to collect a copy of your photo ID and any other information necessary to confirm your identity. Such information will be securely processed in accordance with this Notice and only used for the purpose of verifying your identity.
Right to Equal Service and Price. You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for the exercise of your CCPA privacy rights, subject to certain limitations.
Submit Requests. To exercise your rights (right to know, correct, and delete) under the CCPA, please submit your request by emailing us at Privacy@TelevisaUnivision.com or using the form at https://www.univision.com/global/privacy-requests.
We will verify and respond to your request consistent with applicable law, taking into account the type and sensitivity of the Personal Information subject to the request. In some instances, we may decline to honor your request where the law or right you are invoking does not apply or where an exception applies. We may need to request additional Personal Information from you, such as name and email address, in order to verify your identity and protect against fraudulent requests. If you maintain a password-protected account with us, we may verify your identity through our existing authentication practices for your account and require you to re-authenticate yourself before disclosing, correcting, or deleting your Personal Information.
We will only use the Personal Information you provide for verification purposes (i) to verify your identity or for (ii) security or (iii) fraud-prevention, unless you initially provided the information for another purpose. You may make a request on behalf of a child who is under 13 years old if you are the child’s parent or legal guardian. If you make a Request to Delete, we may ask you to confirm your request before we delete your Personal Information, and we might retain a back-up of your Personal Information to the extent allowed by applicable law, for example, as necessary to preserve the integrity or security of our systems or for other purposes that are aligned with our consumers’ general expectations. There may be circumstances under which we will be unable to delete your Personal Information, such as if we need to comply with our legal obligations or complete a transaction for which your Personal Information was collected. If we are unable to comply with your request for deletion, we will let you know the reason why, as required by applicable law.
Authorizing an Agent. If you are acting as an authorized agent to make a request to know, delete, correct, or opt out on behalf of a California resident, you may submit a request by emailing Privacy@TelevisaUnivision.com or using the form at https://www.univision.com/global/privacy-requests. Please note that we will require you to attach proof of power of attorney or a written authorization signed by the resident whose Personal Information will be subject to the request.
Your Right to Request Removal of Content. If you are a California resident under the age of 18 and you wish to remove content that you publicly posted, you may submit a request by contacting us at Privacy@TelevisaUnivision.com. Removing the public content does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information.
Financial Incentives. Certain services may include an option to subscribe to an ad supported plan. It is possible that some may consider an ad supported plan a "financial incentive" for the purposes of the CCPA.
If you choose an ad supported plan, you will pay less for your monthly subscription and will be presented ads while using the service. Your information may be disclosed, shared, or sold as otherwise described in this Notice. Additionally, certain content and features may not be accessible under an ad supported plan.
If you would like to stop participating in an ad supported plan, you can select a different plan that is not ad supported. You also may opt out of targeted advertising as described in this Notice. We believe the lower fee for ad supported plans, display of advertising, and use of personal information represents a reasonable exchange.
When considering the fee structures for our plans, we consider projected ad revenue and the costs of running our services.
