Here is a summary of your CCPA rights:

I. You have the right to know, to the extent applicable:

1. The categories of sources from which we collected personal information about you.

2. The categories of personal information we collected about you.

3. The categories of personal information that we disclosed about you for a business purpose.

4. The categories of third parties with whom we share personal information.

5. The categories of personal information we sold about you.

6. The categories of third parties to whom we sold your personal information, by category, for each third party to whom we sold the information.

7. Our business or commercial purposes for collecting or selling personal information.

8. The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you.

II. You have the right to request, to the extent applicable:

1. That we do not sell your personal information to third parties.

2. That we delete your personal information.

3. That we provide you with a copy of your personal information that we collected.

Before we can respond to your request, we’ll need to verify your identity.

See our California Privacy Addendum under the caption “California Consumer Privacy Act Disclosures” for more information about the CCPA.

III. Why is this page here?

The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) requires businesses subject to the law to provide consumers residing in California (“consumer” or “consumers”) with the right to opt out of the sale of their personal information through a clear and conspicuous link on their main homepage called “Do Not Sell My Personal Information.”

If a business maintains a separate webpage dedicated to California consumers rights, it can put the Do Not Sell link on that page instead of on its main homepage as long as it takes reasonable steps to direct California consumers to that page.

The California Attorney General may also develop a “recognizable and uniform opt-out logo or button” for all businesses to promote consumer awareness of the right to opt out. If the AG develops this, businesses should use it instead of a text link.

Businesses may not require a consumer to create an account in order to opt out of sales of personal information, and they may only use the information collected during the opt-out to comply with the opt-out.

When a consumer opts out, businesses must not sell their personal information and cannot ask them to opt-in again for 12 months from the date of opt out.

IV. Does FRG need to train its employees and vendors about the CCPA?

Yes. Businesses also need to train their staff who handle consumer requests about privacy, including making sure they:

  • Know about the CCPA generally
  • Can inform consumers about how to exercise their rights
  • Understand how to access the “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” page and how it works
  • Do not sell the personal information of consumers who opt out (or who have not opted in, in the case of children aged 16 or younger)
  • Wait 12 months before asking consumers who opted out to opt in again
  • Use any personal information collected as part of an opt out only to process the opt out
  • Respect opt outs made on behalf of another person per details to be provided by the California Attorney General’s office

V. Does FRG need to update its privacy policy for CCPA?

Yes. Businesses need to update their privacy policies to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act. For CCPA, FRG has added a special addendum to its global privacy notice which you can find here.
