We use the categories of Personal Information listed above for the following purposes:
- To fulfill or meet the reason for which the information is provided.
- To provide you with information, products or services that you request from us.

Sharing of Personal Information
We may disclose your personal information to subsidiaries or affiliates or to a third party we have contracted with for a business purpose. When we disclose personal information for a business purpose, we contract with that third party with contractual clauses that describe the purpose of the contract and that requires the recipient to both keep that personal information confidential and not disclose or use it for any purpose except for performing under our contract.
We do not sell Personal Information, including Sensitive Personal Information, for money. Instead, we may “share” personal information, as defined by the CCPA, with certain third parties to market and advertise our products and services to you, including through cross-context behavioral advertising.
This may include gathering and using your information for remarketing or re-engagement purposes through third-party vendors, which will allow us to show our ads to you on sites across the Internet. These third-party vendors may include advertising networks and social media platforms, programmatic advertising exchanges, account-based marketing and business intelligence providers, and marketing automation platforms. You may opt out of this sharing by clicking the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link on our website or by sending an opt-out preference signal such as the Global Privacy Control through your browser.
Personal Information of Minors
Our products and services are not directed to individuals under 16 years of age, and we do not have actual knowledge that we sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a consumer under 16 without the required consent, we will promptly delete that information.
Usage of Cookies
Within some of the pages of our website, we use a technology called “cookies” to enhance the experience of our website when you re-visit. “Cookies” is an industry-standard technology in which the server recognizes your computer. “Cookies” recognizes your computer, but unless you type in your personal information you will not be identified. Furthermore, depending on the type of your browser, you may choose to disable the cookies. As a consequence, there may be some cases where you may not be able to use partial or the entire services we provide.
Additionally, the third-party vendors described above may also use cookies and/or other device identifiers to serve you with ads based on your past visits to our website.
Opt-Out Cookies
We recognize and honor opt-out preference signals, such as the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”), as valid requests to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. If our website detects a GPC signal or similar opt-out preference signal from your browser, we will treat that signal as a valid opt-out request for the browser or device from which it is sent and any consumer profile we associate with that browser or device. If you are logged into your account when we detect the signal, we will also apply the opt-out to your account across all browsers and devices. You can learn more about GPC and how to enable it at https://globalprivacycontrol.org/ . Once we have processed your opt-out preference signal, we will display a confirmation such as “Opt-Out Request Honored” on our website or in your privacy settings.
You may opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative’s Opt-Out page or control the use of device identifiers by using your device’s settings.
Data Retention
Except as otherwise permitted or required by law, we will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, as required to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting obligations, or as necessary to resolve disputes. For each category of Personal Information identified in the table above, we determine the appropriate retention period by considering our statutory obligations, the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.
Where we maintain or use de-identified information, we will continue to maintain and use that information only in a de-identified form and will not attempt to re-identify the information, including in cases where you have exercised one or more of your rights below.
Rights of California Residents
The CCPA provides California residents with specific rights regarding their personal information, including the following:
Right to Know
You have the right to know what personal information we have collected, used, disclosed, and shared about you, including (i) the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you; (ii) the categories of personal information we have collected about you, (iii) the categories of sources from which we collect information about you; (iv) the business or commercial purposes for which we collect information about you, and (v) the categories of third-parties with whom we share or have shared personal information about you. To the extent we retain your personal information for longer than twelve (12) months, you may request access to all personal information we hold about you, going back as far as January 1, 2022. You have the right to access your personal information in a portable, and, to the extent technically feasible, readily usable format but no more than twice in a twelve (12) month period.
Right to Correct
You have the right to correct inaccuracies in your personal information, taking into account the nature of the personal information and the purposes of the processing.
Right to Delete
You have the right to request that we and our services providers delete personal information that we have collected from you. We will endeavor to fulfill any verifiable requests for deletion, unless an exception under the CCPA applies.
Right to Opt-Out
You have the right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, including for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising. You may exercise this right by clicking the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link on our website, by submitting an opt-out preference signal such as the Global Privacy Control, or by contacting us using the methods described below in the “Exercising Your Rights” section.
Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information
You have the right to limit the use and disclosure of your sensitive personal information to only those uses that are necessary for us to perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected by an average consumer, or as otherwise authorized by the CCPA. You may exercise this right by contacting us using the methods described below in the 'Exercising Your Rights' section.
Right to Non-Discrimination
You have the right not to be discriminated or retaliated against if you exercise your rights under California law. Unless otherwise permitted, we will not (i) deny you goods or services, (ii) charge you a different price or rates for goods or services, or (iii) provide you a different level of quality of goods or services.
Exercising Your Rights
https://info.goanritsu.com/privacy-assistance California residents may make a rights request by: (i) visiting the following link https://info.goanritsu.com/privacy-assistance or (ii) by calling us at 1-800-ANRITSU.
You may also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf through these means. If you use an authorized agent, we may require the agent to provide a signed, written authorization from you, or we may require you to verify your own identity directly with us and confirm you have authorized the agent to act on your behalf.
When you or your authorized agent exercise these rights and submit a request to us, we will verify your identity by asking you to provide us with additional information such as your name, email address, mailing address, and/or order numbers of previous orders of our products or services. The level of verification required will depend on the sensitivity of the request (for example, requests for specific pieces of personal information require a higher degree of verification than requests for categories of personal information).
We cannot respond to your request if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
Once we receive a verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies. If we deny your request in whole or in part, we will explain the reasons for our decision. You have the right to appeal our decision by contacting us at https://info.goanritsu.com/privacy-assistance or by calling 1-800-ANRITSU within a reasonable time after receiving our response. We will respond to your appeal within the timeframes required by the CCPA.
We will endeavor to honor such requests unless such request conflicts with certain lawful exemptions under California or other Federal and State laws.
