California law requires us to disclose certain information related to our privacy practices. This California Privacy Notice is intended to supplement our Privacy Policy in order to meet our disclosure requirements pursuant to California law.
To understand our privacy practices, and your rights and obligations as a customer of Virtuix, you should refer to our Virtuix Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy, which apply to and govern your use of the Services, in addition to this supplement applicable to California Residents.

HOW WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION
Our Privacy Policy describes our uses of Personal Information (see section 3.2).
WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION WE SHARE
In addition to the table above, the Virtuix Privacy Policy provides additional information regarding the categories of third parties with whom we share Personal Information (see section 4.1).
California law requires that we also list the categories of Personal Information that we have disclosed to third parties for business purposes in the last 12 months. In the last 12 months, we have disclosed all of the categories of Personal Information we describe in the “What Personal Information We Collect” section for business purposes. For example, we may share your IP address or device ID with service providers that provide crash monitoring and reporting services to us.
California residents have the right to opt out of disclosures of Personal Information to third parties for valuable consideration (which may be considered “sales” under California law even if no money is exchanged). We currently do not “sell” your information as we understand this term. However, Virtuix respects and understands that you may still want to minimize sharing of your information with third parties for marketing purposes. If you are a California resident and you would like to minimize sharing of your information with third parties for marketing purposes, please contact us at help@virtuix.com.
We also do not sell the Personal Information of minors under 16 years of age with actual knowledge.
YOUR RIGHTS
As a resident of California, you have certain rights, such as:
- Right to data portability/access. You may be entitled to receive the specific pieces of personal information we have collected in the 12 months preceding your request, including, where applicable, in an electronic and readily-usable format.
- Right to know. You may be entitled to receive information regarding the categories of Personal Information we collected, the sources from which we collected Personal Information, the purposes for which we collected and shared Personal Information, the categories of Personal Information that we sold and the categories of third parties to whom the Personal Information was sold, and the categories of Personal Information that we disclosed for a business purpose in the 12 months preceding your request.
- Right to deletion. You may be entitled to request that we delete the Personal Information that we have collected from you. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to honor your request, in compliance with applicable laws. Please note, however, that we may need to keep such information, such as for our legitimate business purposes or as required to comply with applicable law.
You may freely exercise these rights without fear of being denied goods or services. We may, however, provide a different level of service or charge a different rate reasonably relating to the value of your personal information.
If you are a California resident and would like to exercise one of your rights, please contact us at help@virtuix.com.
California law requires us to verify the requests we receive from you when you exercise certain of the rights listed above. We (or third parties we engage to assist us) may ask you to provide certain information to us in order for us to verify your request, including your name, email address, username, physical address, date of birth and phone number (the “Verification Information”). This information will be used to generate a brief quiz with personalized questions to verify your identity. If you fail the identity verification quiz twice, our third-party verification partner will ask you to verify your identity by submitting a copy of state-issued ID and a photograph of yourself.
You may also designate an authorized agent to exercise your rights on your behalf. If you have provided an authorized agent with a power of attorney pursuant to California Probate Code, we will work directly with your authorized agent to complete your request. Where you have not provided an authorized agent with a power of attorney pursuant to the California Probate Code, we will reach out to you directly to confirm the authorized agent’s authority and collect the Verification Information.
In addition to these rights, pursuant to California’s “Shine the Light” law, California residents who share personal information with us have the right to request and obtain from us once per year, free of charge, a list of the third parties to whom we have disclosed their Personal Information (if any) for direct marketing purposes in the prior calendar year, as well as the type of Personal Information disclosed to those parties. If you would like to exercise this right, please use the contact information listed in this section to contact us.
