Verification of Requests
We will need to verify your identity, including your state residency, to respond to your requests. A verifiable consumer request means a request that is made by a consumer, an authorized agent of a consumer, or by a consumer on behalf of a consumer’s minor child. Your verifiable consumer request must include (1) sufficient information that allows us to verify your identity and residency or provides sufficient authority to make the request; and (2) describes your request with enough detail to evaluate and respond to your request. We will not respond to any requests if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that the personal information belongs to you. You are not required to create an account in order to make a verifiable consumer request. We are not required to comply with more than two verifiable requests from the same consumer in a 12-month period of time. If you have an account with us that is password-protected, we may also verify your identity through our existing authentication practices for your account. In some circumstances, we may need to request that you provide us with your name, address, and account number.
If you do not have an account with us, and your request concerns “categories” of personal information collected, we may request from you two data points of personal information to verify your identity. If you do not have an account with us, and your request concerns specific pieces of personal information, we may request from you at least three data points of personal information as well as a signed declaration with penalty of perjury to verify your identity.
If a request concerns household information, and the household does not have a password-protected account with us, we will not comply with a request to know specific pieces of personal information about the household or a request to delete household personal information unless all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) All consumers of the household jointly request access to specific pieces of information for the household, correction of household personal information, or the deletion of household personal information; (2) we have individually verified all the Users of the household; and (3) we have verified that each User making the request is currently a member of the household.
Timeline for Response
Please note that once you have submitted a request, we will send you a receipt, acknowledging your request, within 10 business days.
We use good faith efforts to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days after its receipt. If necessary, we may take up to an additional 45 calendar days to respond to the consumer’s request, for a maximum total of 90 calendar days from the day the request is received, provided that we will provide you with notice and an explanation of the reason that we will take more than 45 days to respond to the request.
In the case of a request to delete, we may use a two-step process for online requests to delete where you must first, submit the request to delete, and then second, separately confirm that you want your personal information deleted.
If you have an account, we may provide our response to your account electronically to the email account you have provided. If you do not have an account, we will provide our response to your provided email account informing you of our inability to validate an account in your name.
Authorized Agent
Residents of certain states may have the right to designate an agent to exercise these rights on your behalf using the procedures set forth herein. The authorized agent must specify the individual on whose behalf it is making the request. Before acting on this request, we may require that you provide signed permission to act on your behalf (or provide a power of attorney), verify your own identity directly with us, and directly confirm that you have provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request. We may deny the request from an authorized person that does not provide proof that they are authorized to act on your behalf.
Non-Discrimination or Retaliation.
We will not discriminate or retaliate against you because you exercised your privacy rights including: (1) denying goods or services; (2) charging different prices or rates for goods or services through discounts, benefits, or imposing penalties; (3) providing different level of quality of goods or services; or (4) suggesting that you will receive a different price, rate, quality, or level of goods or services.

For residents of certain states, you may be able to appeal a decision we make related to your privacy requests by utilizing additional options for appeal that we may provide in our response or by submitting a request from our help center or 10735 Jefferson Blvd. #1061, Culver City, CA 90230 or call (775) 429-5774.

Last updated: June 4, 2024
This Cookie Notice explains how Steady Platform, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively “Steady”, “we,” “us,” and “ours”) use cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our websites and use our mobile applications (“Sites”). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them. These cookies and other tracking technologies are deployed by us or third parties acting on our behalf to record information about your interactions on our Site.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Steady) are called "first party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., like advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Sites to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Sites. Third parties serve cookies through our Sites for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
First and third-party cookies currently served through our Sites include:
What about other tracking technologies?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Sites or opened an email that we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Sites to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Sites from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
Our mobile applications may include third-party application software development kits that provide mobile performance and analytics data, bug reporting features, and APIs to third parties that help provide the Sites, for social media functionality, and for marketing and advertising.
Does Steady serve targeted advertising?
As described above, third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device through the Sites to serve advertising. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. This can be accomplished by them using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details or other personally identifying details unless you choose to provide these.
How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences for certain third-party cookies by clicking on the appropriate opt-out instructions provided above. You can also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Sites though your access to some functionality and areas of our Sites may be restricted, you may worsen your overall user experience, since it will no longer be personalized to you, and it may also stop you from saving customized settings like login information. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information. To revoke consent, users may disable cookies by modifying their browser settings. The links listed below provide more information about what cookies are installed, how to allow, block, or remove installation from your computer. Depending on which browser you use, the user may follow these links:
In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/, https://www.networkadvertising.org/, or http://www.youronlinechoices.com. Please bear in mind that there are many more networks listed on that site than those that we use on our Sites.
We use Google cookies for analytics and marketing purposes. You can opt-out of Google tracking through Google Ads Settings, Ad Settings for mobile apps, or any other available means. Google also provides a Google Analytics opt-out plug-in for the web.
What is Do Not Track (DNT)?
DNT is a concept that has been promoted by regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), for the Internet industry to develop and implement a mechanism for allowing Internet users to control the tracking of their online activities across websites by using browser settings. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has been working with industry groups, internet browsers, technology companies, and regulators to develop a DNT technology standard. While some progress has been made, it has been slow. No standard has been adopted to this date. As such, Steady does not generally respond to "do not track" signals.
How often will this Cookie Notice be updated?
We may update this Cookie Notice from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Notice regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
The date at the top of this Cookie Notice indicates when it was last updated.
