We retain your personal information for as long as is necessary for fulfilling the processing purposes identified in this Policy. Generally, we retain your information for as long as we have a relationship with you and, after our relationship with you has ended, if there is an ongoing business need to retain it. This includes retention to comply with our legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and/or billing and collection obligations, to resolve disputes, enforce our policies and establish, exercise and defend our rights and any claims.
We will delete your personal information when it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or upon your request, subject to exceptions as discussed in this policy or under applicable law, contract, or regulation.
Dakota sells business contact information of customers to third parties. In addition, Dakota uses certain third party analytical cookies and related technologies that may be considered “sales” of data under applicable laws. For more information, and to exercise your right to opt out, please visit our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page, which can be found in the footer of each page of our Websites or by clicking here Do Not Sell
Our websites do not respond to the Global Privacy Control, (“GPC”) which allows you to opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal information by default. We are in the process of enabling GPC controls for our California based customers. To learn more about the GPC, please visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org/.
Please note that opt-out choices may be stored via cookies. If you clear cookies, if your browser blocks cookies, or if you view the page from a different browser or device, your opt-out choice may no longer be logged or recognized.
We do not have actual knowledge that we sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.
You have the right to request that we disclose the personal information we collect, use, and disclose about you to third parties. There are two types of Rights to Know requests that you can make:
This information will be provided to you free of charge, unless we determine that your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive. You may request this information twice in a 12-month period.
There are certain exceptions to a consumer’s Right to Know. We will state in our response if an exception applies.

You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising the privacy rights conferred by California law. We will not discriminate against you because you exercised any of your privacy rights, including, but not limited to, by: denying goods or services to you; charging different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties; providing a different level of quality of goods or services to you; or suggesting that you will receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services. We will also not retaliate against any employee, applicant for employment, or independent contractor for exercising their rights under the CCPA.
If we maintain inaccurate personal information about you, then you have the right to request that we correct the inaccurate personal information upon receipt of a verifiable request. Taking into account the nature of the personal information and purposes of processing the personal information, you have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information about you, if applicable.
If we collect Sensitive Personal Information (as defined in Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.140(ae) (effective Jan. 1, 2023)) about you with the purpose of inferring characteristics about you, then you have the right to request that we limit the use of such information to the use which is necessary to perform the services we offer or for other permitted purposes under Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.121 (effective Jan. 1, 2023) upon receipt of verifiable request.
You can submit your request by emailing us at privacy@dakota.com, or by toll-free phone at 800-264-8574.
When we receive a request through one of the means described above, it must verify that the person requesting information or deletion is the California consumer about whom the request relates in order to process the request. To verify a California consumer’s identity, we may request up to three pieces of personal information about you when you make a request to compare against our records. We may also request that you sign a declaration under the penalty of perjury from the consumer whose personal information is the subject of 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 your request to verify your identity and will delete any information you provide after processing the request. We reserve the right to take additional steps as necessary to verify the identity of California consumers where we have reason to believe a request is fraudulent.
You may choose a person or a business registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf to submit your requests (“Authorized Agent”). If you choose to use an Authorized Agent, we require that you provide the Authorized Agent with written permission to allow them to submit your request and that you verify your identity directly with us. Failure to do so may result in Dakota denying your request.
