Price Match

Lightology wants you to be confident that you are receiving the best prices anywhere by shopping with us. If you find the same exact product advertised for less by one of our competitors within 30 days of your purchase, we will gladly match that price including shipping and handling.

Please note that our Price Match Guarantee applies only to the identical product from the same manufacturer. The competitor must be a US authorized dealer of the product and it must be a stock item, available for shipment and not on extended back order. A website link or written quote from the competing vendor for the same product(s) shipped to the same address must be sent to Lightology. Sales tax, shipping and handling will be factored in to determine final price. Price Match Guarantee does not apply to clearance items. Additional discounts may not be applied when Price Match is used. Certain bulbs, dimmers and architectural lighting products do not qualify for our price match discount

Please contact us for price match requests.

California Privacy Rights. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), California residents have certain rights regarding the personal information that businesses have about them. This includes the right to notice, access and/or deletion of your personal information, as well as the right to direct a business to stop selling your personal information.

• Right to Notice. You have the right to be properly notified of the following:
• 1. Personal Information We Collect: Please review the section of this Privacy Policy titled Personal Information We Collect for more information about the personal information we collected about you in the past 12 months.
  2. Why We Collect Personal Information: Please review the section of this Privacy Policy titled Why We Collect Personal Information for more information on why we collect personal information about you in the past 12 months.
  3. How We Collect Personal Information: Please review the section of this Privacy Policy titled How We Collect Personal Information for more information on how we collect personal information about you in the past 12 months.
  4. With Whom We Share Your Personal Information: Please review the section of this Privacy Policy titled With Whom We Share Your Personal Information for more information on how we share personal information about you in the past 12 months.
• Right to Access Your Information: You have the right to request the following covering the 12 months immediately preceding your request:
• 1. The specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you
  2. The categories of personal information that we have collected about you
  3. The categories of sources from which we collected the personal information
  4. The purpose for collecting or selling the personal information
  5. The categories of personal information that we have disclosed about you, the purpose for disclosing such personal information and the categories of third parties with whom we disclosed such personal information
  6. The categories of personal information that we have sold about you, as well as the categories of third parties to whom we sold such personal information

Please note that we may still use aggregated and de-identified personal information that does not identify you or any individual.

• Right to Deletion: You have the right to request that we delete any personal information about you that we have collected from you. Please note that there are exceptions where we do not have to fulfil a request to delete information, such as when the deletion of information would create problems with the completion of a transaction or compliance with a legal obligation.

How to Exercise Your Access and Delete Rights: To exercise your access and delete rights as described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by calling us at (866) 954-4489 or by emailing us at privacy@lightology.com.

Verifiable Consumer Requests: 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 only make a verifiable consumer request for access to your personal information twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must: 1) Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative of that person; and 2) Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate and respond to it. We cannot respond to your request to exercise your access and/or deletion rights if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. However, we do consider requests made through your password-protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal information associated with that specific account. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format: We attempt to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days after we receive it. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing within 45 days after we receive your initial request. 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 by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period immediately preceding the date we receive the verifiable consumer request. The response we provide will also provide the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For access 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.

• Right to Opt-Out of Sale: While we do not sell personal information in exchange for any monetary consideration, we do share personal information for other benefits that could be deemed a “sale,” as defined by the CCPA (Cal. Civ. Code 1798.140(t)(1)). We support the CCPA and wish to provide you with control over how your personal information is collected and shared. If you would like to exercise your right to request opt-out of sale, please submit a request to privacy@lightology.com
• Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you (e.g., through denying goods or services, or providing a different level or quality of goods or services) for exercising any of the California rights afforded to you.

Financial Incentives. We may offer financial incentives, such as providing you discounts to sign up for our mailing list. You may withdraw from these financial incentives at any time by calling us at (866) 954-4489 or by emailing us at privacy@lightology.com. The value of your personal information is the value of the offer presented to you. We have calculated the value of the incentive by using the expense related to the offer.

Complaints. In compliance with the CCPA, we commit to resolve complaints about your privacy and our collection or use of your personal information. We ask that you kindly call us at (866) 954-4489 or email us at privacy@lightology.com, so that we have an opportunity to resolve your complaint.

Do Not Track. Some internet browsers – like Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari – include the ability to transmit “Do Not Track” or “DNT” signals. Since uniform signals have not been adopted, we do not current process or respond to “Do Not Track” or “DNT” signals.

California’s Shine the Light law. California residents with an established business relationship with us can request information once a year about sharing their personal information with third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. If you are a California resident and would like to request more information under the California Shine the Light law, you can email us at privacy@lightology.com.
