         • If Hi-Tex Solutions LLC, any of its websites or Services or a related asset or line of

State Privacy Rights

    Certain U.S. state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), as amended
    by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), the Colorado Privacy Act (“CPA”), the Virginia Consumer
    Data Protection Act (“VCDPA”), the Connecticut Data Privacy Act (“CTDPA”), the Utah Consumer
    Privacy Act (“UCPA”), the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (“TDPSA”), the Minnesota Consumer Data
    Privacy Act and similar laws (collectively, “State Privacy Laws”), may grant certain rights to residents of
    those states with respect to their personal information or personal data. This section applies to you only
    if you are a resident of a state that has enacted a State Privacy Law and Hi-Tex Solutions LLC is subject
    to that law with respect to your personal information.

    Hi-Tex Solutions LLC operates primarily in a business-to-business (B2B) context. Some State Privacy
    Laws (including the CCPA/CPRA) may apply to information we collect about you in your capacity as an
    individual acting on behalf of a business (for example, as an employee or representative of a corporate
    customer or prospect), while other laws may exclude such B2B information or apply only if certain
    thresholds or criteria are met. Where we are acting as a “service provider” or “processor” on behalf of
    our customers, our processing of personal information is governed by our agreement with that
    customer.

www.hi-texsolutions.com               210.428.6150              sales@hi-texsolutions.com
    In the 12 months preceding the Effective Date of this Privacy Policy, we have collected the categories of
    personal information described in the “What Kind of Information Does Hi-Tex Solutions LLC Collect?”
    and “How Does Hi-Tex Solutions LLC Use, Store and Retain Information?” sections above, for the
    business purposes and, where applicable, commercial purposes described in this Privacy Policy. We
    may disclose such personal information to the categories of recipients described in the “How Does Hi-
    Tex Solutions LLC Access, Release and Disseminate Information?” section.

    For purposes of the CCPA/CPRA, we do not “sell” personal information. We may “share” or otherwise
    allow third parties to collect personal information (such as cookie and device identifiers) on our
    websites for cross-context behavioral advertising, as described in the “Interest-Based Advertising”
    section above.

    Subject to applicable law and to certain exceptions, residents of states with State Privacy Laws may
    have some or all of the following rights regarding their personal information or personal data:

         •    Right to Know/Access: You may have the right to confirm whether we process your personal
              information and to request that we disclose to you the categories and specific pieces of
              personal information that we have collected about you, as well as certain information about
              how we use and disclose that information.
         •    Right to Correct: You may have the right to request that we 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 may have the right to request that we delete certain personal information
              that we have collected from you, subject to applicable exceptions (for example, where we are
              required to retain the information by law or for legitimate business purposes).
         •    Right to Data Portability: You may have the right to obtain a copy of certain personal
              information you have provided to us in a portable and, to the extent technically feasible,
              readily usable format that allows you to transmit the data to another entity.
         •    Right to Opt Out of Certain Processing: You may have the right to direct us not to share your
              personal information (as those terms are defined under applicable law), and to opt out of
              certain processing of your personal information for targeted advertising or profiling in
              furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning you.
         •    Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Information: Where required by law, you may have the right to
              direct us to limit certain uses or disclosures of “sensitive” personal information (as defined
              under applicable law) to those uses that are reasonably necessary to provide the requested
              goods or services and as otherwise permitted by law.
         •    Right to Non-Discrimination: You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment by us
              for the exercise of any of your rights described in this section.

    To exercise your rights under applicable State Privacy Laws, please contact us at privacy@Hi-
    TexSolutionsLLC.com with the subject line “Privacy Rights Request” or send a letter to the address
    above.

    We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to your request, which may
    include asking you to provide information that we can match against information we maintain about you
    (such as your name, email address, business affiliation and account-related information). If you
    authorize an agent to make a request on your behalf, we may require the agent to provide proof of
    authorization and may still require you to verify your identity directly with us, as permitted by applicable
    law.

    We will respond to your request within the time period required by applicable law. Certain requests may
    be denied or only partially fulfilled, for example, where we are unable to verify your identity, where
    providing the information would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others, or where an
    exception or limitation applies under applicable law. If we deny your request in whole or in part, we will
    inform you of the reasons for the denial, where required by law.

    Residents of certain states (including, without limitation, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, Virginia and
    others as their laws become effective) may have the right to appeal our decision regarding a privacy
    rights request. To appeal a decision, please reply to our response or contact us at privacy@Hi-
    TexSolutionsLLC.com with the subject line “Privacy Rights Appeal” within 45 days of receiving our
    decision, and explain why you believe our decision was in error. We will review and respond to your
    appeal within the timeframe required by applicable law and will provide you with information about any
    further rights you may have, such as the right to contact your state attorney general.
