    • Right to know about Personal Information collected, used, disclosed, or sold. You have the right to request that Bazar discloses to you the categories of Personal Information that Bazar collects or discloses (or has collected or disclosed in the past 12 months) about you, the categories of sources of such information, the business or commercial purpose for collecting your Personal Information, and the categories of third parties with whom Bazar shares or discloses your Personal Information. 

    • Right to request deletion of Personal Information. You have the right to request the deletion of your Personal Information that Bazar has collected from you, subject to certain conditions and limitations under the law.

  • Right to opt-out of the sale of Personal Information. You have the right to opt-out of the sale of your Personal Information. As described in more detail below, Bazar does not sell Personal Information to third parties for their commercial purposes as defined under the CCPA. 

  • Right to non-discrimination for exercising a consumer privacy right. You are entitled to exercise the rights described above free from discrimination.
