California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) grants its residents certain rights regarding the collection and use of their personal information. Subject to certain limitations, California residents have the following rights:

  • Right to know; You have the right to know and request information about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you within the last 12 months, as well as the categories of sources from which such information is collected, the purpose for collecting such information, and the categories of third parties with whom we share such information. You also have the right to know if we have sold or disclosed your personal information.
  • Right to delete; You have the right to request the deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions.

Use and Disclosure of Information

The following is a list of categories of Personal Information which may have been collected from consumers or users of our Services within the last twelve (12) months. The categories and examples provided in the chart below are those defined in the CCPA. This does not mean that all examples of that category of Personal Information were in fact collected but reflects our good faith belief to the best of our knowledge that some of that information may have been collected about consumers. We will update this disclosure from time to time as appropriate.

The CCPA broadly defines the term “sale” to mean:

“Selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a consumer’s personal information by the business to a third party for valuable consideration; or (B) sharing orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a consumer’s personal information with a third party, whether for valuable consideration or for no consideration, for the third party’s commercial purposes.”

The CCPA characterizes some sharing and transfer of personal information as a “sale,” even when the sharing or transfer is not done in exchange for monetary consideration. TAC does not believe that any of the sharing or transfers described in this policy constitute sales under California law.
