This section describes how we collect, use, and share Personal Information (as defined below) of residents of these states and the rights these users may have with respect to their Personal Information. Please note that not all rights listed below may be afforded to all users, and if you are not a resident of one of these states with State Privacy Laws, you may not be able to exercise these rights. Additionally, we may not be able to process your request if you do not provide sufficient detail to allow us to confirm your identity or understand and respond to it.
Definition of Personal Information
For purposes of this section, the term “Personal Information” has the meaning given to "personal data," "personal information," or other similar terms in applicable State Privacy Laws and does not include information exempted from the scope of the State Privacy Laws, such as publicly available information. In some cases, we may provide a different privacy notice to certain categories of residents of these states, such as job applicants, in which case that notice will apply instead of this section. “Sensitive Personal Information” has the meaning given to such term or similar terms in applicable State Privacy Laws.
Entities Responsible for Personal Information
BabeChat is responsible for your Personal Information. Babechat comprises BabeChat, Inc., formed under the laws of the State of California, United States of America, and its affiliate, BabeChat, Co., formed under the laws of South Korea.
Your Privacy Rights
The State Privacy Laws may provide residents with some or all of the rights listed below. However, these rights are not absolute, and some State Privacy Laws do not provide these rights to their residents. Therefore, we may decline your request in certain cases as permitted by law. We do not “sell” or “share” Personal Information as those terms are defined in applicable State Privacy Laws (and have not done so during the prior 12 months) and have no actual knowledge that we have sold or shared the Personal Information of children under 16 years of age. We do not engage in any “Profiling” (as such term is defined under applicable State Privacy Laws) in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you, where regulated by applicable State Privacy Laws. We also do not use or disclose Sensitive Personal Information for purposes that California residents have a right to limit under the CCPA, and where required by applicable State Privacy Laws, we obtain your consent before we collect Sensitive Personal Information from you.
(a) Information/Know
You may request that we confirm whether or not we are processing your Personal Information and request the following information about how we have collected and used your Personal Information during the past 12 months:
- The categories of Personal Information that we have collected.

Your Right to Lodge a Complaint with Your State Enforcement Authority
In addition to your rights outlined above, depending on your state privacy law, you may file a complaint with your state’s applicable enforcement authority if you are not satisfied with our rejection of your request. Where applicable, in our response rejecting your request, we will provide you with a mechanism through which you may contact the relevant authority.
Verification of Identity; Authorized Agents
We may need to verify your identity in order to process your information/know, access, appeal, correction, or deletion requests and reserve the right to confirm your residency. To verify your identity, we may require government identification, a declaration under penalty of perjury, or other information, where permitted by law.
Under some State Privacy Laws, you may enable an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. However, we may need to verify your authorized agent’s identity and authority to act on your behalf. We may require a copy of a valid power of attorney given to your authorized agent pursuant to applicable law. If you have not provided your agent with such a power of attorney, we may ask you to take additional steps permitted by law to verify that your request is authorized, such as by providing your agent with written and signed permission to exercise your State Privacy Laws rights on your behalf, the information we request to verify your identity, and confirmation that you have given the authorized agent permission to submit the request.

We have summarized the Personal Information we collect and may disclose to third parties by reference below to both:
