California Privacy Statement

California Privacy Statement
Effective Date:  January 2024

In compliance with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), this statement outlines the rights of California residents regarding their personal information and how it is collected, used, and shared. The CCPA provides California residents with specific rights concerning their personal data, which includes the right to know, the right to delete, and the right to opt-out of the sale of personal information.

According to the CCPA, personal information encompasses a wide range of data, including but not limited to names, addresses, email addresses, and any other identifiers that can be used to identify an individual. Businesses are required to disclose the categories of personal information collected, the purposes for which the information is used, and the third parties with whom the information is shared.

California residents have the right to request information about the categories and specific pieces of personal data that a business has collected about them in the past 12 months. This request can be made twice within a 12-month period. Additionally, individuals have the right to request the deletion of their personal information, subject to certain exceptions, such as when the information is necessary for the business to complete a transaction or comply with legal obligations.

Furthermore, California residents have the right to opt-out of the sale of their personal information. Businesses must provide a clear and conspicuous link on their website for consumers to exercise this right. It is important to note that opting out does not affect the ability to use the services provided by the business.

Businesses are also required to implement reasonable security measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or destruction. This includes conducting regular assessments of data security practices and ensuring that employees are trained on privacy and data protection protocols.

In summary, the California Consumer Privacy Act empowers residents with significant rights regarding their personal information. It is essential for businesses to comply with these regulations to foster trust and transparency with their customers. For further information or inquiries regarding privacy practices, individuals are encouraged to contact the business directly.
