CPRA

Creating a CPRA (California Consumer Privacy Act) page for your website is important for compliance if you collect personal information from California residents. Here’s a basic template you can use:

California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice for California Residents supplements the information contained in the privacy policy of [Your Company Name] and applies solely to all visitors, users, and others who reside in the State of California (“consumers” or “you”). We adopt this notice to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) and any terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this notice.

Information We Collect

We collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or device (“personal information”). In particular, we have collected the following categories of personal information from consumers within the last twelve (12) months:

– Category 1: List specific categories of personal information you collect, e.g., identifiers such as name, address, email address, account name, etc.
– Category 2: List specific categories of personal information listed in the California Customer Records statute (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e)), e.g., signature, physical characteristics or description, telephone number, etc.
– Category 3: Any other categories of personal information that fall under the CCPA, e.g., internet or other electronic network activity information, collocation data, etc.

Use of Personal Information

We may use or disclose the personal information we collect for one or more of the following business purposes:

– [Purpose 1: Describe the business purposes for which you use personal information, e.g., to fulfil or meet the reason you provided the information, to provide you with information, products, or services that you request, etc.]
– [Purpose 2: Another purpose as required under the CCPA]

Disclosure of Personal Information

We may disclose your personal information to a third party for a business purpose. When we disclose personal information for a business purpose, we enter into a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to both keep that personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose except performing the contract.

Your Rights and Choices

The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. 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.
– Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
– The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
– The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).

Deletion Request Rights

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.
