- When you provide information to us: when you provide information directly to us, such as at a tradeshow, when you create an account or fill out a form to download a document from one of our Websites, subscribe to a Fast World Solutions newsletter, send us an email, chat with us, or otherwise contact us; and
- When information is collected automatically: when Personal Information is automatically collected about you in connection with your use of the Services, including through Cookies (defined below) as when you browse the Websites.
Third parties, when they provide us information about you. Third parties that share your Personal Information with us include:

Information Collected Automatically with Google Consent Mode
For user data collected with Google Consent Mode, we use a Cookieless/Anonymous Google Analytics Tracking solution. We prevent Google Analytics from storing a user-specific clientID in a cookie, and instead use a script within our tag management system to generate a new and random clientID on every session. This new clientID is not associated with the user in any other way, effectively rendering them completely anonymous (as they have requested), while still allowing us to see a user’s interactions on the site anonymously.

If your deletion request is subject to one of these exceptions, we may deny your deletion request.
Exercising Your Rights: To exercise the rights described above, you must send us a request that (1) provides sufficient information to allow us to verify that you are the person about whom we have collected Personal Information, and (2) describes your request in sufficient detail to allow us to understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We Will Not Discriminate Against You for Exercising Your Rights Under the CCPA
We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights under the CCPA. We will not deny you our goods or services, charge you different prices or rates, or provide you a lower quality of goods and services if you exercise your rights under the CCPA. However, we may offer different tiers of our Services as allowed by applicable data privacy laws (including the CCPA) with varying prices, rates, or levels of quality of the goods or services you receive related to the value of Personal Information that we receive from you.
Other California Resident Rights
Under California Civil Code Sections 1798.83-1798.84, California residents are entitled to contact us to prevent disclosure of Personal Information to third parties for such third parties’ direct marketing purposes; in order to submit such a request, please contact us at privacy@fastworldsolutions.com.
Your browser may offer you a “Do Not Track” option, which allows you to signal to operators of websites and web applications and services that you do not wish such operators to track certain of your online activities over time and across different websites. Not all browsers offer a Do Not Track option and there is currently no industry consensus as to what constitutes a Do Not Track signal. For these reasons, our Websites, like many website operators, do not support Do Not Track requests at this time. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” you can visit www.allaboutdnt.com.

If you are a resident of the European Union (“EU”), United Kingdom, Liechtenstein, Norway, or Iceland, you may have additional rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”) with respect to your Personal Data, as outlined below.
For this Section 13, we use the terms “Personal Data” and “processing” as they are defined in the GDPR, but “Personal Data” generally means information that can be used to individually identify a person, and “processing” generally covers actions that can be performed in connection with data such as collection, use, storage and disclosure. Fast World Solutions, Inc. and its affiliates will be the controller of your Personal Data processed in connection with the Fast World Solutions Services.
Where applicable, this Section 13 is intended to supplement, and not replace, the other provisions of the Privacy Policy. If there are any conflicts between this section and any other provision of this Privacy Policy, the policy or portion that is more protective of Personal Data shall control to the extent of such conflict. If you have any questions about this section or whether any of the following applies to you, please contact us at privacy@fastworldsolutions.com. Note that we may also process Personal Data of our customers’ end users or employees in connection with our provision of services to customers, in which case we are the processor of Personal Data.
