Third Parties. We may collect information about you from third-party sources that are lawfully entitled to share your PI with us including service providers that collect information on our behalf.

We sell or share your PI to the recipients listed in the preceding chart. You have the right to opt out of our selling or sharing your personal information, subject to certain limitations. You may exercise this right by clicking this link: Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information.

We do not have actual knowledge that we have sold or shared the personal information of minors under age 16.
We do not use or disclose your sensitive personal information for purposes that, with limited exceptions, are not necessary to provide our products and services as reasonably expected by an average consumer requesting those goods and services.
The CCPA provides California residents with the following rights, subject to certain exceptions:
To submit a California Consumer Rights request as outlined in this CA Addendum, please contact us at http://www.bergenlogistics.com/contact.php.
We reserve the right to only respond to verifiable requests. A verifiable request is one made by any individual who is:
If we request, you must provide us with sufficient information to verify your identity and/or authority to act on behalf of a CA resident. In general, we may ask you to provide identifying information that we already maintain about you. In either event, we will try to avoid asking you for sensitive PI to verify your identity. We may not be able to respond to your request or provide you with PI if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the PI relates to you. However, making a verifiable request does not require you to create an account with us.
Additionally, you will need to describe your request with sufficient detail to allow us to review, understand, assess, and respond. We will not use the PI we collect from an individual to determine a verifiable request for any other purpose, except as required by law.
If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the receipt of your verifiable consumer request. With respect to PI collected on and after January 1, 2022, and to the extent expressly permitted by applicable regulation, you may request that such disclosures cover a period beyond the 12 months referenced above, provided doing so would not be impossible or require a disproportionate effort by us. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. To the extent permitted by the CCPA, we will respond to no more than two requests during any 12-month period.
You may authorize a natural person, or a business registered with the California Secretary of State to act on your behalf with respect to the right under this CA Addendum. When you submit a Request to Know or a Request to Delete, unless you have provided the authorized agent with a qualifying power of attorney, you must provide your authorized agent written permission (signed by you) to act on your behalf and verify the authorized agent’s identity with us. We reserve the right to deny requests from persons or businesses claiming to be authorized agents that do not submit sufficient proof of their authorization.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. For example, we generally will not provide you a different level or quality of goods or services if you exercise your rights under the CCPA or retaliate against you if you are an employee.
