PREFACE

We’ll always keep your data safe and secure. So you’re in the know, here’s why we need it and how we use it.

Who are we?

We are a group of dedicated creatives and storytellers who love what we do and love the community we’re able to call family.

Why do we do what we do?

Knowing that every day we are able to help empower the storyteller in all of us (including each one of us here at UNUM) is a blessing. We strive to make the storytelling process easy and simple. There is no better feeling than to take a deep breath, pause and look back at all that our community and our team have accomplished (and will accomplish!) together. We love each and every single UNUM family member.

No. 1: The Goods

We will only use your data to up your experience.

No. 2: Locked Down

We protect your data like it’s our own.

No. 3: No BS

We are here for you. We will tell you straight up, always. No nonsense. No one has time for that.

No. 4: No Spam

You decide how and what you want to hear from us.

No. 5: Just the Essentials

Your info won't hang around — if we don't need it, we'll delete it.

The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance, specifically by encrypted zip-file to your email address on file.

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 CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

• 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.
• 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 CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-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.
