CALIFORNIA CONSUMER PRIVACY ACT (CCPA)

Effective Date: Jan 5, 2023

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a comprehensive privacy law that was enacted in the state of California, United States, to enhance the privacy rights and protections for residents of California. It became effective on January 1, 2020. The CCPA grants California consumers more control over the personal information that businesses collect about them and aims to provide transparency and accountability in the handling of personal data. Here are some key points you should consider when adding CCPA information to your Terms & Conditions page

Applicability

The CCPA applies to businesses that meet certain criteria, such as having annual gross revenues over a certain threshold or dealing with a significant amount of personal information of California residents.

Consumer Rights

Under CCPA, California consumers have several rights with regards to their personal information, including the right to know what personal information is being collected, the right to request deletion of their information, the right to opt-out of the sale of their information, and the right to non-discrimination for exercising their rights.

Data Collection and Usage

Our Terms & Conditions should specify the types of personal information your business collects, the purpose for which it is collected, and how it is used. Additionally, you should explain if you sell or disclose personal information to third parties and provide opt-out options if applicable.

Privacy Policy

Our Terms & Conditions should include a link to your Privacy Policy, which provides more detailed information about your data collection practices, how consumers can exercise their CCPA rights, and how you handle their personal information.

Verification of Consumer Requests

If we receive requests from consumers to know, delete, or opt-out of the sale of their personal information, we have a process in place to verify the identity of the requester to prevent unauthorized access to or disclosure of personal information.

Minors' Personal Information

Our business collects personal information from minors, you should address how you handle such data and any additional requirements under CCPA.

Updates to Terms & Conditions

If we make any changes to your data collection or usage practices, update your Terms & Conditions accordingly to reflect those changes.

Contact Information

We provide a contact method for consumers to reach out to you regarding their privacy concerns or CCPA-related inquiries.

Non-Discrimination

Our business should not discriminate against consumers who choose to exercise their CCPA rights. This means you shouldn't treat them unfairly for opting out of data collection or sales.
