The data protection and other laws of the North Carolina, the U.S., and other countries might not be as comprehensive and may differ from those in your state or country. By using a Come and See site, you consent to your information being transferred to our facilities and to the facilities of those third parties with whom we share it, as described in this Privacy Policy.
Legal Basis for Collecting and Using Information
Pursuant to the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), if you are a resident of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), we rely on several processing purposes, such as legitimate interest, as the legal basis for processing the personal data we collect via the App and website. For instance, we may collect, process or disclose your personal information under the following lawful bases:
- As necessary to provide a service or perform a transaction (such as when we respond to your requests);
- Your consent (where you have provided consent as appropriate under applicable law, such as for direct marketing or certain cookies);
- As necessary for legitimate interests (such as when we act to maintain our global business generally, including maintaining the safety and security of The Chosen App and website);
- Compliance with our legal obligations.
To better understand your rights as a resident of the EEA see our GDPR Policy.
You may be able to exercise certain privacy rights. The rights available to you depend on our reason for processing your personal information and the requirements of applicable law (i.e., your rights will vary depending on whether you are located in, for example, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Brazil, or US states). Specifically, you may have the following rights:
- The right to confirmation on the existence of processing and to access the data: You may have the right to obtain from us confirmation as to whether personal information processed, and, where that is the case, to request access to the personal information. Depending on where you are located, you may also have the right to information about public and private entities with which the controller has disclosed personal data.
- The right to correct incomplete, inaccurate, or out-of-date data: You may have the right to request that we correct any personal information about you that is inaccurate. Depending on the purpose of the processing, you also have the right to request that we complete the personal information we hold about you where you believe it is incomplete, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.
- The right to the portability of data: You may have the right to request that we transfer the personal information we have collected about you to another organization, or directly to you, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, under certain conditions.
- The right to request anonymization, blocking, or deletion of personal information: You have the right to request the deletion of your personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain conditions and limitations under the law.
- The right to revoke consent: Where we rely on your consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time with future effect. Depending on where you are located, you may also have the right to request deletion of personal data that was processed based on your consent, or the right to know the consequences of revoking your consent. Such a withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of the processing prior to the consent withdrawal.
- The right to object to processing: You may have the right to object to our processing of your personal information, under certain conditions, and we can be required to no longer process your personal information. Such right to object may especially apply if we collect and process your personal information through automated decision making, such as profiling, to better understand your interests in our products and services or for direct marketing. If you have a right to object and you exercise this right, your personal information will no longer be processed by us for such purposes. Such a right to object may, in particular, not exist if the processing of your personal information is necessary to take steps prior to entering into a contract or to perform a contract already concluded.
- The right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal information: We do not sell your personal information in exchange for monetary consideration. In the event that we disclose your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes, you may have the right to opt out of that disclosure. You may also have the right to request further information about the disclosure of your personal information for those third parties' marketing purposes, such as the contact information of those parties, once per calendar year.
- The right to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information: We will only use sensitive or special personal information as needed for the purposes for which it was collected or with your consent. We do not currently process sensitive personal information for purposes that may be limited under applicable law. If this changes, we will notify you, and you may have the right to restrict such additional uses.
- The right to non-discrimination for exercising a privacy right: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any rights.
State Privacy Rights
Many states, including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Montana, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia provide (now or in the future) their state residents with rights to:
- Confirm whether we process their personal information.
- Access and delete certain personal information.

The exact scope of these rights may vary by state.
NOTICE TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS / YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS
If you are a California resident, you are entitled once a year, free of charge, to request and obtain certain information regarding our disclosure, if any, of certain categories of Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year.
