THE CALIFORNIA CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT.
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) became effective on January 1, 2020. The Act allows any California residents and certain others with connections to California (the “consumer”) five new rights with respect to their personal information regardless of whether there is a customer relationship or any other relationship with the covered business. Broadly, the CCPA enacts three main criteria to protect consumer data: transparency, control, and accountability. Within the control criteria, the CCPA grants consumers: The Right to Disclose, The Right to Delete, The Right to Access, The Right to Opt-Out, and the Right to Nondiscrimination. This section provides detail regarding the CCPA if you qualify as a consumer and we qualify as a covered business thereunder.
The Right to Access: Pursuant to the CCPA, consumers have the right to access personal information that has been collected, stored, or sold by a business within the preceding twelve (12) month period. The covered business must release the information to the consumer if requested. You may make personal information requests twice in a 12-month period. A covered business will need to collect information from you to verify your identity, and the covered business will respond within forty-five (45) days of receiving a personal information request.
The Right to Disclose: A covered business must disclose the personal information they collect or sell, and how the entity uses the information in response to consumer requests. This includes disclosing: the types of personal information collected, the source of the information, if the information was disclosed or sold to a third-party, the business purpose of sharing the information, the categories of personal information disclosed or sold to a third party, and the categories of third parties the information was sold or disclosed to.
Covered businesses intending to sell personal information must provide notice to any customer over the age of sixteen (16) and provide them with an opportunity to opt-out.
The Right to Delete: Generally, if a covered business is contacted by a consumer requesting their personal information be deleted, they must comply. Some exceptions apply to this right.
The Right to Opt-Out: A consumer may choose to opt-out of having their personal information sold or shared. Covered businesses intending to sell personal information are required to offer consumers an option to “opt-out.” Most covered businesses will provide a link stating, “Do Not Sell My Personal Information.”
There is a special rule for minors as noted above.
Right to Nondiscrimination: Under the CCPA, a covered business may not take retaliatory or discriminatory actions against any consumer who chooses to exercise any of these rights. Thus, covered businesses cannot deny the consumer goods or service, or subject them to different prices than other consumers. The law prohibits any practices that are usurious, coercive, or unjust.
However, the CCPA does not prohibit entities from offering incentives, even financial, customers who chose to “opt-in” to sharing their personal information.
If you are a consumer and we are a covered business, you may exercise any of the foregoing rights by contacting customercare@savings.com. Please specify which CCPA right(s) you are requesting to exercise. Savings.com will need to verify your identify, and Savings.com will respond to you within forty-five (45) days of receiving a personal information request.
You may exercise the Right to Opt-Out of the sale of your personal information by visiting the following link.
If you have an existing Savings.com account, you may exercise the Right to Delete your personal information by visiting www.savings.com, click on “Log In”, click on “My Account”, then click on “Manage preferences” and then select the option to “delete your account and data”.
