If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act and the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, the “CCPA”) provide you with certain rights regarding your personal information, including the right to know about personal information collected, disclosed, or sold; the right to request that we delete personal information that we have collected from you; the right to update or correct your information; the right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal information; the right to limit our use of your sensitive personal information; and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising your rights. These rights are subject to certain exceptions. You may also visit our Privacy Policy to learn more about how we protect your information.
Any capitalized terms in this California Privacy Notice that are not otherwise defined have the same meaning as they do in the CCPA or in our Privacy Policy. This California Privacy Notice also serves as our “Notice at Collection” under California law.
This Policy only applies to the extent that PAI determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal information (i.e., is a “business” in relation to personal information). It does not apply when PAI is acting as a service provider to its customers.

Your Rights
If we maintain personal information about you that is subject to the CCPA, you may exercise certain rights in connection with this data if you are a California resident.
Right to Know
California residents have the right to request that we disclose certain information about our collection and use of your personal information over the past twelve months (“Right to Know”). Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:
- The categories of personal information we collected about you.
- The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
- The categories of personal information that we have disclosed for a business or commercial purpose.
- Our business or commercial purposes for collecting, selling, or sharing personal information.
- The categories of third parties with whom we share or disclose that personal information.
- The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (i.e., a data portability request).
Right to Delete
California residents have the right to request that we delete the personal information that we collected from you and retain, subject to certain exceptions (“Right to Delete”). Once we receive and verify your request, we will delete (and direct our service providers and contractors to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.
Right to Correct
California residents have the right to correct or amend the personal information we have on file (“Right to Correct”).
Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing
The CCPA provides California residents with the right to opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of their personal information (“Right to Opt Out”).
We do not have actual knowledge that we sell or share the personal information of California residents under the age of 16.
Right to Limit the Use of Your Sensitive Personal Information
The CCPA provides California residents with the right to limit the use of their “sensitive personal information” to the purposes outlined in Cal. Code Regs. tit. 11, § 7027(m) of the CCPA regulations.
We do not collect or use sensitive personal information and therefore do not use your sensitive personal information for any purposes outside of those permitted by § 7027(m).
Right to Nondiscrimination
The CCPA provides California residents with the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for the exercise of their privacy rights conferred by the CCPA. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.
Exercising Your Rights
If you are a California resident and wish to exercise any of the above rights, you may fill out this form or send us a request by email at privacy@privacy-analytics.com.
When you submit a request, we will confirm your identity by asking you to provide information associated with what we have on file for you, including your name, email address, and other identifying information. We may ask you for additional information to verify your identity or to comply with your request.
Authorized Agent
You may authorize an agent to make a request on your behalf. To designate an agent, please provide a written and signed document by both you and the agent that authorizes the agent to act on your behalf. You may also use a power of attorney. We will still require you to provide information to allow us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected personal information.
Data Retention
We retain personal information about you necessary to fulfill the purpose for which that information was collected or as required or permitted by law. We do not retain personal information longer than is necessary for us to achieve the purposes for which we collected it. When we destroy your personal information, we do so in a way that prevents that information from being restored or reconstructed.
Shine the Light Law
In addition to the CCPA, California’s “Shine the Light” law, Civil Code section 1798.83, requires certain businesses to respond to requests from California customers asking about the businesses’ practices related to disclosing personal information to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. We do not disclose your personal information for these purposes.
