Choices for Access, Deletion, Opt-Out of Sale, and Right to Non-Discrimination
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, use, disclose and “sell” about you (as that term is used in the CCPA). Additionally, you have the right to access, delete and opt-out from the “sale” of your personal information.
Subject to certain limitations, you have the right to: (1) request to know more about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we collect, use, disclose and sell, (2) request deletion of your personal information, (3) opt out of any “sales” of your personal information that may be occurring, and (4) not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

We will not discriminate against you if you exercise your rights under the CCPA.
To exercise these privacy rights and choices, please follow the instructions below:
If we receive your request from an authorized agent, we may ask for evidence that you have provided such agent with power of attorney or that the agent otherwise has valid written authority to submit requests to exercise rights on your behalf. If you are an authorized agent seeking to make a request, please contact us at privacy@etfflows.com.
We will verify your request by asking you to provide information related to your recent interactions with us, such as your email address, telephone number, credit card security code used for a purchase with us, and information regarding your purchases or inquires.
Some requests, including a request for specific pieces of personal information, may require a signed declaration under penalty of perjury from you that you are who you say you are. If you are requesting to obtain specific pieces of personal information regarding your household, each member of your household must provide the verification information above in order for us to verify their identities.
If we are unable to verify your identity, or we are prohibited from granting your request by law, we will deny your request and inform you that we cannot verify your identify and explain why we have no reasonable method to identify you. We will also direct you to our Privacy Policy which describes our general business practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure and sale of personal information.
