** THE INFORMATION BELOW APPLIES TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS **
VIII. Your Rights Under The California Consumer Privacy Act.
A. The CCPA and “Personal Information.”
The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), effective as of January 1, 2020, grants privacy rights to California consumers in connection with their Personal Information.
Personal Information (“PI”) is “information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household.” PI, as defined in the CCPA, does not include personal information that is already subject to sector-specific privacy laws, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”), a federal law that imposes requirements on certain entities to protect the privacy and handling of a patient’s personal health information.
A consumer has rights regarding his/her PI when dealing with a covered business, including:
-
A right to know what PI is collected, used, shared or sold by the business;
-
A right to access PI collected and retained by the business;
-
A right to require businesses and, by extension, their service providers, to delete PI, subject to certain exceptions;
-
A right to opt-out of the business’ sale of PI; and
-
A right to non-discrimination in terms of pricing or service for choosing to exercise a privacy right under the CCPA.
B. Consumer Right to a Notice of Collection
A business subject to the CCPA must, at or before the point of collection of PI, inform a consumer as to the categories to be collected and the purposes for which it shall be used. A service provider that receives or collects PI on behalf of, or at the direction of, a covered business may not be required to provide a notice of collection.
C. Consumer Right to Know.
A covered business must disclose in its privacy policy the PI it has collected, sold, or disclosed for a business purpose in the past 12 months.
Collection: A business must disclose the following in response to a verifiable request:
-
The categories of PI the business has collected about the consumer;
-
The categories of sources from which that PI was collected;
-
The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling PI;
-
The categories of third parties with which the business shares PI; and
-
The specific pieces of PI the business has collected about the consumer making the request;
Sale: A business that sells PI or discloses it for a business purpose must disclose, in response to a verifiable request, the following:
-
The categories of PI collected about the individual consumer
-
The categories of PI the business sold about the individual consumer, and the categories of third parties to which it was sold. Or, if the business has not sold any of the consumer’s PI, it must state that fact.
-
The categories of PI the business has disclosed about the individual consumer for a business purpose. Or, if the business has not disclosed the consumer’s PI for a business purpose, it must state that fact.
D. Consumer Right to Delete Directed to a Covered Business.
A California consumer has the right to request that a covered business delete his/her PI, subject to certain exceptions. Once a request is reasonably verified by the covered business, the PI requested to be deleted must be removed from the records held by that business. The business must also direct its Service Providers with whom the information was shared to also delete the information, unless it is subject to an exception.
A request to delete may be denied if retaining the information is necessary for the business or its Service Providers to:
E. Consumer Right to Non-Discrimination.
A business must not discriminate against a consumer who exercises CCPA rights. A business may charge different prices or provide a different quality of goods or services, but only if the difference is reasonably related to the value provided to the consumer by the consumer's data. A business may offer financial incentives to a consumer for the collection, sale, or deletion of personal information on a prior, opt-in consent basis.
F. Consumer Right to Opt-Out.
A covered business that sells PI to third parties must provide notice to consumers and clearly inform them of the right to opt out of the sale. A business that sells PI also must provide a "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" link on its internet homepage that links to a webpage that enables the consumer to opt out of the sale of his or her PI.
A business is prohibited from selling the PI of a consumer the business knows is less than 16 years of age, unless (for a child between 13 and 16 years of age) the child has affirmatively authorized the sale or (for a child less than 13 years of age) the child’s parent or guardian has affirmatively authorized the sale.
G. Privacy Policy Requirements.
A covered business must include the following in its online privacy policy, which should be updated every 12 months:
-
A description of consumer CCPA rights, including the right to opt out of the sale of PI and a separate link to a "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" internet webpage if the business sells PI;
-
The method(s) by which a CCPA request can be submitted; and
-
A list of the categories of PI the business has collected, sold, or disclosed for a business purpose in the preceding 12 months.
VIII. Your Rights Under The California Consumer Privacy Act.
A. Instructions For Submitting a Request.
If you are a California consumer and wish to make a CCPA request to us, you may submit your request using one of the following methods:
We will confirm receipt of your request within 10 days of receiving it. The confirmation will provide a ticket number for your request, information about how we will process and attempt to verify your request, and by when you should expect to receive a response.
Note that we are only required to respond to your request to know - for access or data portability – two times in any 12-month period.
We are required to keep records of your CCPA request for at least 24 months, including any assigned ticket number, the request date and nature of the request, the manner in which the request was made, the date and nature of our response, and the basis for the denial of the request if the request is denied in whole or in part.
B. We Need to Verify Your CCPA Request.
We need to be reasonably sure that the person making the request regarding your PI is you, or a representative that you have authorized to make a request on your behalf.
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with PI if we cannot verify your identity or your authority to make a request on behalf another person. Accordingly, at the time you submit your request, we will request that you provide us certain information, such as your full name, date of birth, and address, that will allow us to attempt to reasonably verify you are either the person about whom we collected PI or an authorized representative of that person.
To the extent possible, we will not ask you for new PI to verify your request, but will instead attempt to use the verification data you provide to cross-check information available in existing records. If we are unable to verify your request without requesting new PI, we will delete that new information as soon as practical after processing your CCPA request, except as may be required to comply with the CCPA’s request record retention requirements.
You are not required to create an account with us to verify your request. We will only use PI you provide for verification to attempt to verify your identify or your authority to make the request for another person.
Please note that certain requests require different levels of verification, depending on the sensitivity of the information at issue. For example, if you request to know the specific pieces of information we hold, and not just the categories, we will require, in addition to matching data points, your submission of a written declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the consumer whose PI is the subject of the request. In addition, certain pieces of information, such as a social security number, driver’s license number or other government-issued identification number, or financial account information, will not be disclosed in response to a CCPA request.
If you wish to authorize someone else to act on your behalf, we must receive proof that this person is authorized to do so. Proof can be provided by a consumer verifying his/her own identity directly with us and then providing written authority for a designated person to act on the consumer’s behalf, or through receipt of a power of attorney or proof that the person is registered with the California Secretary of State as your designated authorized representative. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.
C. Our Response To Your CCPA Request.
Within 10 days of receipt of your CCPA request, we will provide an initial confirmation of receipt with an assigned ticket number by email or U.S. Mail.
If you submit a Request to Delete, we must re-confirm your choice to delete the specified information after your request has been verified and before the data is deleted.
We strive to provide a response to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt, regardless of the time it takes to verify the request. If we need additional time, we will inform you of the reason.
We will send our response to your request by U.S. mail or email, at your option. Any information we provide will cover only the 12-month period preceding receipt of your request.
If we cannot respond to or comply with your Request to Know or Request to Delete, or we otherwise deny your request, we will explain our reasoning and decision in our response. We may, for example, deny a CCPA request if we cannot verify your identity or if the information we maintain for you is exempt from the CCPA, such as information protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”).We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded, and we have informed you in writing of the reasoning behind a charge and its estimated cost. We will provide a cost estimate before completing your request if we determine that a charge is warranted.
