YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE CCPA
The California Consumer Privacy Act, or CCPA, provides California consumers/residents certain data privacy rights related to their personal information, including the following:
The Right to Disclosure:CCPA requires that companies make disclosures to California consumers about the company's processing of personal information, including how it is collected, sold, or otherwise disclosed to third parties.
The Right to Know: CCPA grants California consumers the right to receive certain disclosures with respect to the company's processing of their personal information. Upon receipt of a verified request, data subjects have the right to access information related to the following information:
The company’s collection practices: Subjects are entitled to know whether the company is currently processing the subject's personal information and/or whether the company has collected the subject's personal information in the twelve-month period preceding the request. If so, the company is obligated to provide the subject with the following:
The categories of personal information that have been collected in the twelve-month period preceding the request;
The categories of data sources from where the personal information was collected in the twelve-month period preceding the request;
The business purposes for collecting or selling the subject's personal information in the twelve-month period preceding the request;
The commercial purposes for collecting or selling the subject's personal information in the twelve-month period preceding the request;
The categories of recipients that the subject's personal information has been shared with in the twelve-month period preceding the request; and
The specific pieces of personal information that the company has collected about the subject in the twelve-month period preceding the request.
Sales Practices: California consumers are entitled to know whether the company is currently selling the subject's personal information and/or whether the company has done so in the twelve-month period preceding the request. If the company has not sold any of the consumer’s personal information, the company must make that disclosure as well. If the Company has sold the subject's personal information, the company is also obligated to provide the data subject with the following information: the categories of the subject's personal information that were collected by the Company in the preceding twelve-month period; the categories of the subject's personal information that were sold by the Company in the preceding twelve-month period; and the categories of recipients to whom the subject's personal information was sold in the twelve-month period preceding the request, including a breakdown of what categories of personal information were sold by the company to each category of recipient.
Disclosure Practices: California consumers are entitled to confirmation of whether MoneyShow is currently disclosing the subject's personal information for Business purposes and/or whether the company has disclosed the subject's personal information for business purposes in the twelve-month period preceding the request. If the company has not disclosed any of the subject's personal information for a Business purpose, the company will make a disclosure to that effect upon receipt of a verified request. If the company has disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, the company is also obligated to provide you with: the categories of the subject's personal information that were collected by the company in the preceding twelve-month period; the categories of the subject's personal information that the company disclosed to a third-party for a Business purpose in the twelve-month period preceding the request; and the categories of recipients to whom the subject's personal information was disclosed to for a Business purpose in the twelve-month period preceding the request, including a breakdown of what categories of personal information were disclosed by the company to each category of recipient.
YOUR RIGHT TO OPT-OUT OF THE SALE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
This right, subject to certain exceptions, enables subjects to prohibit the company from selling their personal information to third parties. Once the company receives an opt-out request, the company is prohibited from selling the subject's personal information to any third party unless the subject subsequently provides the company with express authorization stating otherwise. Once a subject has opted out, the company must wait at least twelve-months before requesting to sell a subject's personal information again. The company is prohibited from discriminating against those subjects who exercise their right to opt-out, such as refusing them service or by charging them more for its products or services.
YOUR RIGHT TO DELETION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Under certain circumstances, CCPA entitles subjects to have the company stop processing their personal information and delete or destroy such data. The right to deletion requires the company to delete any personal information that the company has collected about a subject that is not necessary for at least one of the purposes outlined under the CCPA. Exceptions to the right to deletion include the following: processing of information that is necessary for completing a transaction, the provision of goods or services, internal company uses that are aligned with a subject's expectations based on their relationship with the company, internal uses that are lawful and compatible with the context in which a subject provided their information, or uses of information that are necessary for the company to comply with legal obligations.
YOUR RIGHT TO NON-DISCRIMINATION WITH RESPECT TO SERVICES
According to the CCPA, the company cannot discriminate against subjects who exercise their rights, including the right to opt-out of the sale of personal information. As such, the company cannot deny or refuse subjects with goods or services, charge subjects different prices or rates, or provide subjects a different form, quality, or level of services if a subject requests enforcement of their rights.
