- California Residents’ Rights under the CCPA
- The information provided below regarding California residents’ rights under the CCPA is sourced from the Office of the Attorney General of the State of California. For additional details, please visit https://oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa.
- If you are a resident of California, you may ask businesses to disclose what personal information they have about you and what they do with that information, to delete your personal information, to direct businesses not to sell or share your personal information, to correct inaccurate information that they have about you, and to limit businesses’ use and disclosure of your sensitive personal information:
- Right to Know: You can request that a business disclose the following information about its collection of your personal data over the past twelve (12) months: (1) the categories and/or specific pieces of personal information they have collected about you, (2) the categories of sources for that personal information, (3) the purposes for which the business uses that information, (4) the categories of third parties with whom the business discloses the information, and (5) the categories of information that the business sells or discloses to third parties. You can make a request to know up to twice a year, free of charge. Businesses must provide you this information for the 12-month period preceding your request.
- Right to Delete: You can request that businesses delete personal information they collected from you and tell their service providers to do the same, subject to certain exceptions (such as if the business is legally required to keep the information).
- Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing: You may request that businesses stop selling or sharing your personal information (“opt-out”), including via a user- enabled global privacy control. Businesses cannot sell or share your personal information after they receive your opt-out request unless you later authorize them to do so again.
- Right to Correct: You may ask businesses to correct inaccurate information that they have about you.
- Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information: You can direct businesses to only use your sensitive personal information (for example, your social security number, financial account information, your precise geolocation data, or your genetic data) for limited purposes, such as providing you with the services you requested.
- Right to be Notified: You also have the right to be notified, before or at the point businesses collect your personal information, of the types of personal information they are collecting and what they may do with that information.
- Right to Non-Discrimination: Generally, businesses cannot discriminate against you for exercising your rights under the CCPA. Businesses cannot deny goods or services, charge you a different price, or provide a different level or quality of goods or services just because you exercised your rights under the CCPA. However, if you refuse to provide your personal information to a business or ask it to delete or stop selling your personal information, and that personal information or sale is necessary for the business to provide you with goods or services, the business may not be able to complete that transaction. Businesses can also offer you promotions, discounts and other deals in exchange for collecting, keeping, or selling your personal information. But they can only do this if the financial incentive offered is reasonably related to the value of your personal information. If you ask a business to delete or stop selling your personal information, you may not be able to continue participating in the special deals they offer in exchange for personal information. If you are not sure how your request may affect your participation in a special offer, ask the business.
- Furthermore, businesses cannot make you waive these rights, and any contract provision that says you waive these rights is unenforceable.
- Children’s Privacy
- We do not knowingly collect or maintain Personal Data from individuals under the age of 13. If we learn that we have collected Personal Data from a child under 13, we will promptly delete it. Our services and website are not directed to individuals under 18.
