    Your California Privacy Rights

    Right to Know
    California Consumers have the right to submit a verifiable request to know what personal information the Company has collected, sold, shared, or disclosed about you.

    Right to Access and Portability
    California Consumers have the right to request what categories of personal information we collect, use, or disclose about you over the last 12 months. You also have the right to request the specific pieces of personal information that we collected about you and to have a copy of that information provided to you in a readily useable format, subject to certain limitations.

    Right To Delete
    California Consumers have the right to submit a verifiable request for deletion of their Personal Information that Company has collected from the Consumer, subject to certain exceptions.

    Right to Correct
    California Consumers have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information that we have collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions.

    How to Exercise Your Rights
    Masonite will respond to requests in accordance with CCPA and CPRA if it can verify the identity of the individual submitting the request. California Consumers can exercise their rights in the following ways:

    Requests By Authorized Agents
    You may designate an authorized agent to exercise your California Privacy Rights by submitting to us a completed “Authorized Agent Designation” form. You can obtain the designation form by contacting us at privacy@Masonite.com. If an authorized agent submits a request to know or a request to delete on your behalf, the authorized agent must submit with the request either (a) a power of attorney that is valid under California law, or (b) a document signed by you that authorizes the authorized agent to submit the request on your behalf. In addition, we may ask you to follow the applicable process described above for verifying your identity. Only you, or your authorized agent may make a verifiable request related to your Personal Information.

    How We Will Verify Your Requests
    The processes that we follow to verify that the person making a California Privacy Rights Request is the person about whom we have collected personal information are described below.

    You are not required to create an account with us to make a verifiable request. However, if you submit a request through your password protected account, we consider that sufficient verification when the request related to Personal Information associated with that specific account.

    If you submit a request by any means other than through a password-protected account that you created before the date of your request, your request must include sufficient information to allow us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.

    You must also describe your request sufficiently enough to allow us to understand, evaluate, and respond to it. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

    If we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you, we cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information.

    Response Information
    We endeavor to respond to a verifiable request within required timeframes, including confirming initial receipt within ten (10) business days and responding in full within forty-five (45) calendar 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 account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response electronically.

    Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.

    Non-Discrimination and Non-Retaliation
    The Company will not discriminate, or retaliate, against you for exercising the rights provided to you under law and described in this Policy.

    Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing of Personal Information
    California Consumers have a right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of the Personal Information. If you would like to opt out of sharing your Personal Information, please note that the Company processes opt-out preference signals in a frictionless manner. California Consumers can submit opt-out preference signals by going to our website www.masonite.com and clicking on the cookie icon on the bottom right-hand corner of the page. Collection preferences will appear in a panel on the right-hand side of the page (see also our Cookies Policy), and the last toggle is “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” which may be adjusted to enable you to opt out of sharing your Personal Information.

    Your Right to Information About Disclosures of Personal Information for Direct Marketing Purposes
    Under California law, California Consumers can request information from us (see below) whether we have disclosed Personal Information to any third parties for the third parties' direct marketing purposes. We will not sell consumer’s Personal Information to, or share it, with third-party companies for their direct marketing purposes.

    Third-Party Links and Services
    We provide links to third party websites operated by organizations not affiliated with Company. We do not disclose your Personal Information to organizations operating such linked third-party websites. We do not review or endorse, and are not responsible for, the privacy practices of these organizations. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of each and every website that you visit. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by Company through the Services.

    Minors Under 16 Years of Age
    We respect the privacy of children. Our Services are not designed to attract an audience younger than sixteen (16), and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under sixteen (16). If you are under the age of sixteen (16), you are not permitted to use our Services and should not send any information about yourself to us through the Services. Please contact us using the contact details below if you believe we may have collected information from your child under the age of sixteen (16), and we will work to delete it.
