I’M A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT. HOW DOES THE CALIFORNIA CONSUMER PRIVACY ACT APPLY TO MY PERSONAL INFORMATION AND INTERACTIONS WITH PENTADATA?
Overview
The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) defines ‘Personal Information’ as information that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be linked directly or indirectly with a particular California resident, and for the purposes of this section we will use that CCPA definition. CCPA, however, does not apply to certain information, such as information subject to the Gramm- Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”).
Your CCPA Rights
Under CCPA, and subject to certain limitations and exceptions, if you are a California resident, you may have the following rights with respect to information that Pentadata has collected about you that constitutes “Personal Information” under CCPA:
- To request we disclose to you, free of charge, the following information covering the 12 months preceding your request:
- the categories of Personal Information about you that we collected;
- the categories of sources from which the Personal Information was collected;
- the purpose for collecting Personal Information about you;
- the categories of third parties to whom we disclosed Personal Information about you and the categories of Personal Information that was disclosed (if applicable) and the purpose for disclosing the Personal Information about you; and
- the specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you;
- To request deletion of your Personal Information unless CCPA recognizes an exception;
- To opt-out of any “sales” of your Personal Information, if a business is selling your information; and
- To not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
To exercise your data protection rights you can submit a request using our online form (available here), or contact us as described in the “How do I contact Pentadata?” section above. You may need to provide additional information in order to confirm your identity before we can respond to your request.
You may also designate an authorized agent to contact Pentadata and make requests under the CCPA on your behalf. You may need to provide additional information in order to confirm you consented to this designation, as well as to confirm your identity before we can respond to your request. You may also designate Pentadata as your authorized agent to obtain this information on your behalf from other businesses.
We will consider all such requests and provide our response within forty-five (45) days, unless an additional forty-five (45) day extension is reasonably required. At which time, Pentadata will notify you of the extension. Please note, however, that certain information may be exempt from such requests. For example, if we need to keep the information to comply with our own legal obligations or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
