Your Rights and Choices

Applicable laws provide consumers with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your rights and explains how to exercise those rights. Please note that applicable laws may contain certain limitations and exceptions may apply.

Right to Know Categorical and Specific Information and Data Portability

You have the right to request that Discount Tire Direct disclose categorical and specific information to you about our collection, sale, and sharing of your personal information. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:

• The categories of your personal information we collected, sold, or shared.
• The categories of sources from which your personal information we collected.
• Our business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, or sharing your personal information.
• The categories of third parties to whom we disclose, sell, or share your personal information.
• The categories of your personal information we disclosed to a recipient for a business purpose and the categories of recipients to whom it was disclosed.
• The specific pieces of your personal information we collected in a portable and readily useable format where possible.

Right to Correct Inaccurate Personal Information

If Discount Tire Direct maintains inaccurate personal information about you, you have the right to request that we correct these inaccuracies. After receiving notice of these inaccuracies, Discount Tire Direct will make reasonable efforts to correct your personal information throughout our systems and networks.

Right of Deletion

You have the right to request that Discount Tire Direct delete your personal information that we have retained, subject to certain exceptions allowed by applicable law. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies. If an exception applies, we will not delete your personal information that falls under the exception and will only process your personal information for purposes or under circumstances allowed by applicable law.

Right to Opt-Out of the Sale or Sharing of Personal Information and Targeted Advertising

California consumers have the right to opt-out of the sale and sharing of your personal information as those terms are defined under the CCPA. Virginia, Colorado, and Connecticut consumers have the right to opt out of the processing of personal data for purposes of targeting advertising, the sale of personal data, or profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning the consumer as those terms are defined under applicable law.

We do not sell your personal information for monetary consideration. However, our use of tracking technologies may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under applicable law and are used for purposes of targeting advertising to you. You can opt out of being tracked by these third parties and targeted advertising by clicking the "My Privacy Choices" link, by submitting an Opt Out privacy request, or by broadcasting the GPC signal.

Discount Tire Direct honors and responds to the GPC signal. Please note that when your browser broadcasts the GPC signal, we will limit the functionality of our website and prevent the website from transmitting your personal information to third parties. We will also treat this signal as a verified request to stop selling your personal information and stop processing your information for purposes of targeted advertising. However, the GPC signal only identifies you by online identifier and/or device/browser information. It does not fully identify you by name, phone, or email address. Therefore, we may not be able to honor this request for other interactions you may have or have had with Discount Tire Direct. You may also submit a Opt Out privacy request with your email, phone number and other personal information for us to complete the opt-out process.

If you visit our website from a different computer or device, or clear cookies on your browser that store your preferences, you will need to return to this website to opt-out or rebroadcast the GPC signal.

Exercising Rights

To exercise the access, correction, deletion, and opt-out rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request by using one of the following methods and providing us the requested information:

• Calling us at 1-855-965-2414; or
• Visiting https://dt-privacyportal-ui.merudata.app/privacy-request/discounttiredirect/customer.

Only you, or someone legally authorized 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.

Applicable law may limit the number of times you may make a verifiable consumer request in a certain time 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.
• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

In order to verify your identify, we will ask you for information related to a recent transaction you made at Discount Tire Direct or other personal information that only you would reasonably know. If you use an Authorized Agent to make your request, we will ask the Authorized Agent to have you fill out a form that certifies your use of an Authorized Agent and provides information related to a recent transaction you made at Discount Tire Direct or other personal information that only you would reasonably know. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information 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. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request. For more information about Privacy Requests, please see our Privacy Request FAQ page.

Right to Non-Discrimination

You have the right to not be discriminated against for exercising the privacy rights conferred by applicable law. We will not discriminate against you because you exercised any of your privacy rights, including, but not limited to, by: denying goods or services to you; charging different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties; providing a different level of quality of goods or services to you; or suggesting that you will receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information

Discount Tire Direct processes a limited amount of sensitive personal information, as that term is defined under applicable law, with your consent. For example, Discount Tire Direct collects your geolocation on its website when locating the Discount Tire Direct store nearest you only after requesting your location. We also collect your username and password when you affirmatively create an account on our website. Creating an account on our website is not mandatory and you consent to our collection of this information in order to maintain your account.

Discount Tire Direct does not use or disclose your sensitive personal information for any purpose other than those specified in California Code of Regulations § 7027(m).

Response Timing and Format

We will respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt unless we notify you our need for a forty-five (45) day extension.

We will deliver our written response by e-mail.

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.

Exercising Appeal Rights (Virginia, Colorado, and Connecticut Residents Only)

If Discount Tire Direct refuses to take action on a request, you may appeal our decision by submitting an Appeal Request. Please refer to the communication you received from Discount Tire Direct refusing your request for additional information you may need to provide in making you appeal request. Within forty-five (45) days of receipt of an appeal, Discount Tire Direct will inform you in writing of any action taken or not taken in response to your appeal. If the appeal is denied, you may contact your Attorney General to submit a complaint at the applicable website listed below.

Data Subject Access Request Metrics

The table below details the total number of data subject access requests we received in 2022. A request is considered received when a consumer or their agent submits a request through our online form or through the phone.

A request may be closed if the consumer submitted an incomplete request or the consumer did not complete the steps to enable us to verify their identity, or their identity could not otherwise be verified. A request submitted by an authorized agent may be closed if the agent did not provide sufficient documentation to allow us to determine that the agent was authorized by the consumer to submit the request.

Discount Tire Direct reserves the right to amend this privacy notice at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes to this privacy notice, we will post the updated notice on this Site and update the notice's effective date.
