List of Rights California Residents Have Under CCPA
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a law that grants California residents certain rights with regard to their personal information. Here are the rights that California residents have under CCPA:
- Right to know what personal information is being collected about them and how it is being used.
- Right to request that their personal information be deleted.
- Right to opt-out of the sale of their personal information.
- Right to know whether their personal information is being sold or disclosed and to whom.
- Right to access their personal information in a portable and readily usable format.
- Right to request that their personal information be corrected if it is inaccurate.
- Right to equal service and price, even if they exercise their privacy rights.
These rights apply to California residents and are designed to provide them with greater control over their personal information. The CCPA also requires businesses to provide certain disclosures and notices to California residents about their data collection and sharing practices.
How California Residents Can Request Their CCPA Rights Regarding Information We Have About You or Authorize Another Person to Request on Their Behalf
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have the right to request access to the personal information that a business has collected about them, as well as the right to request that the business delete that information. Here are the steps a California resident can take to request their CCPA rights:
- Identify the business(es) that you want to request information from. This could include any company that you have interacted with or provided personal information to.
- Review the business’s privacy policy to determine if they have a process in place for handling CCPA requests. Some businesses may have an online form or email address specifically for these requests.
- If the business does not have a process in place, you can still make your request by contacting them through their customer service department or other available channels, such as a contact form on their website.
- When making your request, be sure to include enough information to help the business identify you, such as your name, address, and email address. You may also be required to provide additional information to verify your identity.
- You can also authorize another person to request on your behalf by providing that person with written permission. The person making the request will need to provide their own identifying information as well as yours.
- Once the business receives your request, they will have 45 days to respond. If they need additional time, they can request an extension of up to 90 days, but they must inform you of the extension within the initial 45-day period.
- If the business denies your request, they must provide an explanation for the denial.
It’s important to note that the CCPA applies only to California residents, and businesses must provide information to residents free of charge.
You can request any of this information by contacting our phone line, or by selecting the “Contact Us” page.
How Long We Keep the Personal Information You Collect
2 years, unless you are a current customer with an active service in place or requested by the consumer to delete.
