Selling and Sharing of Personal Information
We do not sell the personal information of consumers in the traditional sense. However, California’s definition of “selling” data is broad and covers many types of data transfers that do not involve selling for monetary consideration. Under the CCPA “share” means to disclose personal information to third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising which means targeting advertising based on personal information obtained from a consumer’s activities across third party websites or services. As is common practice among businesses that operate Internet websites, we may use personal information to target advertising as further described in our General Privacy Policy. As defined in the CCPA, we sell or share, and have sold or shared in the preceding 12 months, the following categories of personal information listed above to third parties:
Category | Categories of Third Parties to Whom Info was Sold or Shared | Purposes for Selling or Sharing |
A. Identifiers |
|
|
B. Personal Information under Cal. Records Act |

D. Commercial Information |

F. Internet/Network Info |
|
|
G. Geolocation Data |
|
|
H. Audio, electronic, visual, thermal, olfactory, or similar information |
|
|
K. Inferences from Data |
|
|
L. Sensitive Personal Info |
|

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights
To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:
- Calling us at 1-855-450-1819
- Visiting our website at toyotaforklift.com/ccpa-form
- Contacting us using the other contact points specified below
Only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize 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 your minor child.
You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:
- Provide sufficient information (which may include information associated with any account you have with us) that allows us to reasonably verify you are either the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative of that person, and
- Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that the personal information relates to you. Government identification may be required. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.
Response Timing and Format
We will confirm the receipt of a request within 10 business days of receipt. We will endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (we may take up to 45 additional days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. The response we provide will 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.
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.
Direct Marketing Disclosures
Under California Civil Code Section 1798.83 (known as the “Shine the Light” law), TMH’s Users who are residents of California may also request certain information about our disclosure of personal information during the prior calendar year to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please write to us at the address below or at privacy@toyotatmh.com with “Request for California Privacy Information” on the subject line and in the body of your message. We will comply with your request within thirty (30) days or as otherwise required by the statute. Please be aware that not all information sharing is covered by the “Shine the Light” requirements and only information on covered sharing will be included in our response.
Processing of Privacy Opt-Out Preference Signal
Certain browsers and other technologies send opt-out preference signals to a website notifying the website of your desire to stop the sale or sharing of your personal information. For more information, please see www.globalprivacycontrols.org. Our Website will interpret such signal as a request to opt-out of sale and sharing for the relevant browser and device. At this time, this signal only applies to the browser you are searching from and only includes the online sale of your personal information.
Do Not Track
TMH does not currently employ a process for automatically responding to “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals sent by web browsers, mobile devices, or other mechanisms that may provide consumers a choice regarding the collection of Personal Data about an individual consumer’s online activities. As is commonly the case with many other mobile applications and websites, third parties (e.g., advertisers) may be able to collect information, including Personal Data, about your online activities over time and across different websites or online services when you use the Offerings.
Changes to Our Privacy Statement
We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Statement and our General Privacy Policy from time to time. We will attempt to notify you in the event the changes are material and could potentially impact your rights by providing electronic notification through the Offerings, by e-mail or other means using contact information you have provided, or by making a revision to the applicable privacy notice and changing the effective date. You should periodically review the terms of this California Privacy Statement and our General Privacy Policy to stay informed of any changes and ensure your continued agreement.
Modifications are effective upon our posting of the amended privacy notice. The terms of the current California Privacy Statement or General Privacy Policy supersede all previous notices or statements regarding our privacy practices and become the terms and conditions that govern your use of the Offerings. You may determine the date this California Privacy Statement was last revised and the current terms by referring to the “Effective” date shown at the top of this statement. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF AN OFFERING FOLLOWING OUR POSTING OF A CHANGE NOTICE CONSTITUTES ACCEPTANCE OF THOSE CHANGES.
