Children’s Privacy

Our Website is intended for adults. The Website is not directed at, or intended for use by, children under the age of 16 years (in the EEA) or 13 years (in the United States). Accordingly, we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under age 16 (in the EEA) or under 13 (in the U.S.). Should a child whom we know to be under the appropriate age provide his or her personal information, we will use that information only to respond to that child and inform him or her that we must have parental consent before receiving such information.

International Transfers

APi Group operates its Website out of the United States, and information you provide to us will reside on servers in the United States. The data protection laws in the United States may not be the same as the data protection laws in your home country.

GDPR\UK-GDPR and EEA Residents’ Rights

The E.U.’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) is a privacy law that affords certain rights relating to the personal information of individuals in the European Economic Area (“EEA”). The United Kingdom (“UK”)’s General Data Protection Regulation (“UK-GDPR”) is a similar privacy law that affords certain rights relating to the personal information of individuals in the United Kingdom. Specifically, if you are a resident of the EEA or the UK, you may request whether we are processing your personal information, our purposes in doing so, how your personal information was obtained (if you did not provide it to us directly), who it may have been shared with, and how long it will be retained. Further, you have the right to request your personal information be corrected if it is inaccurate and, in certain circumstances, may ask that it be erased and withdraw your consent or object to further processing. Finally, subject to certain limitations, and when feasible, you may request a copy of your personal information or that it be transferred to another entity.

You will not typically need to pay a fee for access to your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). But we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

You can exercise your rights by contacting us as set out in the contact section below.

Additional information on your rights under the UK-GDPR is available in English from the United Kingdom’s Information Commissioner’s Office. For residents of other EEA countries, please see the website of your applicable Information Commissioner. If you are located in the European Union (“EU”) and have a concern about our processing of your data, you may have the right to make a complaint to the appropriate data protection authority in the EU.

For the personal information that we collect from you, APi Group acts as a “controller” under the GDPR and UK-GDPR. As discussed above, we use data for a variety of different purposes. Under the GDPR and UK-GDPR, we are required to have a lawful basis for these types of processing activities. Most of the time, that lawful basis will either be to (1) perform a contractual obligation with you, (2) fulfill legitimate business interests, (3) comply with a legal obligation, or (4) conduct processing to which you have specifically consented.

For example, we need to process your personal data in order provide you with information and services that you may have requested. In that circumstance, our lawful basis for processing your personal information will be to satisfy your request with your consent. Likewise, it may be necessary to our legitimate business interests of growing and continuing our services for us to use your personal information in order to provide you with information regarding our activities and identify services that may be beneficial to you.

Please note that, if you submit personal information to us through the Website, that information will be stored on our servers in the United States. We only transfer your personal information with your consent, to perform a contract with or an obligation to you, or to fulfill a compelling legitimate interest that does not outweigh your rights and freedoms.

California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) Notice. This Privacy Notice for California Residents (“Notice”) supplements the information in the remainder of this Privacy Policy and applies solely to “consumers” as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”). This Notice explains our collection, processing, and disclosure of “personal information” relating to California consumers to the extent not already described in this Privacy Policy. Specifically, this Notice applies to our processing activity when we are acting as a “business” under the CCPA—meaning that we control the purposes and means of processing your personal information. Some of the personal information we collect may be subject to other data protection laws (such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act) and may be exempt from some or all of the requirements under the CCPA. Please read this Notice carefully before sharing information with us so you understand our practices regarding your information.

Sale/Sharing of Personal Information. In the past twelve (12) months, APi Group has not sold personal information collected through the Website of any category, nor does APi Group’s Website team does not have actual knowledge of any sales of personal information regarding minors under 16 years of age. Additionally, in the past twelve (12) months, APi Group has not shared personal information collected through the Website of any category for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising.

Your Rights Under the CCPA

The CCPA provides California residents with the rights discussed below. For convenience, and as required by the CCPA, we explain how you can exercise those rights, to the extent they are applicable.

Right to Request Information. You have the right to request that we disclose certain information about our collection and use of your personal information during the past 12 months. Specifically, you may request that we disclose:

  • The categories of personal information we collected about you;
  • The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you;
  • The business and commercial purposes for collecting your personal information;
  • The categories of third parties with whom we shared your personal information;
  • The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you; and
  • If we disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, the categories of personal information received by each category of third party.

Right to Request Correction. You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information that we maintain about you.

Right to Request Deletion. You have the right to request that we delete personal information we collected from you, subject to any exceptions or limitations under the CCPA.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise the rights described above, you—or someone authorized to act on your behalf—must submit a verifiable consumer request to us by contacting us at at Y2V2aW5wbEBuY3Z0ZWJoY3ZhcC5oZg==|Y2V2aW5wbEBuY3Z0ZWJoY3ZhcC5oZg== or calling 800-223-4922. Your request must include your name, e-mail address, mailing address, phone number, the nature of your inquiry and the context in which we may have received your information. If you are an agent submitting a request on behalf of a consumer, we may request that you submit a signed permission from the consumer authorizing you to make the request. In order to protect the privacy and data security of consumers, 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 of such consumer; and
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

As indicated above, please be aware that the CCPA provides certain limitations and exceptions to the foregoing rights, which may result in us denying or limiting our response to your request.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request twice within a 12-month period. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request. We may also request that you provide additional information if needed to verify your identity or authority to make the request. 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 or the consumer on whose behalf you are making the request.

Response Timing and Format

The CCPA requires us to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt; however, we may extend that period by an additional 45 days. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response via e-mail. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the receipt of the verifiable consumer request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For requests to provide specific pieces of personal information we will select the format of our response; the format will be readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another. We will not charge a fee to process or respond to a 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 the request.

Our Commitment Not to Discriminate

Consistent with the CCPA, we will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights by:

  • Denying you goods or services.
  • Charging you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
  • Providing you a different level or quality of goods or services.
  • Suggesting that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

If there are changes to this Notice, we will post them here and update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this document.
