CloudTalk and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
What is the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)?
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides residents of California with enhanced rights regarding their personal information. It grants consumers more control over their personal data by allowing them to know what information is collected about them, request the deletion of their data, and opt-out of the sale or sharing of their information. In addition to the CCPA, the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which took effect in 2023, further strengthens these privacy protections by introducing new consumer rights and obligations for businesses. At CloudTalk, we are committed to upholding the privacy rights granted under both the CCPA and CPRA, ensuring that your personal data is handled with the utmost care and transparency.
Your Rights Under the CCPA
As a California resident, the CCPA grants you several important rights concerning your personal information. Here’s a breakdown of your rights and how you can exercise them:
- Right to Know: You have the right to request that we disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you in the past 12 months. This includes information on how your data is used, the categories of sources from which your data was collected, and the third parties with whom we share your information.
- Right to Delete: You can request that we delete the personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions. For example, we may need to retain your data to complete a transaction, detect security incidents, or comply with legal obligations.
- Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing: If CloudTalk engages in the sale or sharing of your personal information, you have the right to opt-out. We have made it easy for you to exercise this right through a dedicated “Do Not Share or Sell My Personal Data” link on our website.
- Right to Non-Discrimination: Exercising your rights under the CCPA should not result in any form of discrimination. We will not deny you services, charge you different prices, or provide you with a different quality of services if you choose to exercise your CCPA rights.
How to Exercise Your CCPA Rights
You can make requests to know, delete, or opt-out by contacting us at privacy@cloudtalk.io.
