As allowed by the CPL, we do not provide these access and data portability rights (i) for business-to-business personal information or (ii), if applicable, as to personal information collected from NGS’s California-based employees, job applicants or contractors when provided or collected in such employee, job applicant or contractor capacities.
Deletion and Correction Request Rights. You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see “Exercising Access, Data Portability and Deletion Rights” below), we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our (and service provider) records, unless an exception applies.
We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:
- Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
- Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
- Debug products or services to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
- Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another California consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
- Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et seq.).
- Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
- Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with California consumer expectations based on your relationship with us, such as future field campaigns or product safety issues.
- Comply with a legal obligation.
- Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.
As allowed by the CPL, we do not provide these deletion rights (i) for business-to-business personal information or (ii) if applicable, as to personal information collected from NGS’s California-based employees, job applicants or contractors when provided or collected in such employee, job applicant or contractor capacities.
In addition, if you provide us with a verifiable consumer request to correct inaccurate personal information that we maintain about you, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct such information in accordance with your instructions
Exercising Access, Data Portability, Deletion and Correction Rights. To exercise the access, data portability, deletion and correction rights described above, you should submit a verifiable consumer request to us by one of the following methods:
- Emailing us at info@filmsandgraphics.com
- By postal mail at: NGS Films and Graphics, 140 Mountain Brook Drive, Canton, GA 30115
- Accessing your online account that you maintain with us
- By calling us toll-free at 1-866-925-2083
Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of a minor child for whom you are a parent or legal guardian.
You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a twelve (12) month period. The verifiable consumer request must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative, which may include:
- Your name
- Your address
- Additional information depending upon the type of request and the sensitivity of the information involved with such request
- Describe your request with sufficient detail to enable us to properly understand, evaluate and respond to such request.
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or your authority to make the request and confirm that the personal information involved with the request relates to you.
Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. However, we will consider requests made through a password-protected online account that you maintain with us to be sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal information associated with that online account, provided such online account functionality is then made available by us on the Platform.
We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
Response Timing and Format
We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
If you have an online account with us, we may deliver our written response to that online account, provided that such online account functionality is then made available by us on the Platform. If you do not have an online account with us, or such functionality is not available for your online account we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.
If we’re unable to comply with your request, the response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with the request. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily usable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your 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 your request.
Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CPL rights. Unless permitted by the CPL or other applicable law, we will not as a result of you exercising any of your rights under the CPL:
- Deny you goods or services;
- Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties;
- Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services; or
- Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CPL that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CPL-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.
Retention of Personal Information
Our policy is to retain personal information only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the reason for which the personal information was collected and as necessary to process such personal information. In addition to the above, we will retain your personal information for the purposes of satisfying any professional, legal, accounting or reporting requirements to which we are subject. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the scope, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the personal information, the purposes for which we collected and processed your personal information and whether we can reasonably achieve those purposes through other means, as well as any applicable legal and professional requirements
Other California Privacy-Related Disclosures

Should such a sale, transfer or merger occur, NGS will use reasonable efforts seeking to require that the transferee uses personal information you have provided to NGS in a manner that is consistent with this Policy.
We will not sell, resell or lease your personal information to any third parties but NGS may, if required for the purpose(s) for which your personal information was collected and processed, share it with NGS partners and/or service providers to enable them to provide their services to NGS or to you, as applicable.

Security of Personal Information of European Citizens
NGS has policies and technical and organizational measures in place which are intended to safeguard and protect your personal information against unauthorized access, accidental loss, improper use and disclosure. However, you should be aware that information transmitted over the internet is not completely secure because of the nature of the internet and that systems and measures used to secure information are not flawless. For these reasons, although NGS will use reasonable efforts to protect your personal information, NGS does not warrant the security of personal information transmitted to NGS or stored by NGS, and personal information that is transmitted to NGS by you electronically is done at your own risk.

Our policy is to retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which NGS collected such personal information, including for the purposes of satisfying any professional, legal, accounting or reporting requirements to which NGS is subject. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, NGS considers the scope, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the personal information, the purposes for which NGS collected and processed your personal information and whether NGS can achieve those purposes through other means, and any applicable legal and professional requirements.
