The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, gives California residents rights over their personal information and requires businesses to explain what they collect and how they use it. This page explains how we apply it.
Our Privacy Policy describes what we collect, what we share, and why. The disclosures below add to it and apply only to California residents.
In the past 12 months, we have collected the following categories of personal information, as described in our Privacy Policy:
The sources of this information are listed in the "Information We Collect" section of our Privacy Policy. We collect and use it for the business purposes described in the "How Do We Use Information?" section, and keep it for as long as our Privacy Policy describes.
We disclose identifiers, customer records, commercial information, Internet activity and geolocation data to the service providers that help us run the Services. They are listed on our service providers page. For LIR services, we also disclose the information the RIPE NCC requires, and we may disclose personal information to authorities or in a business transfer, as described in the "What Do We Share, and Why?" section of our Privacy Policy. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes other than those above, and we do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Our databases associate IP addresses with data such as a location or a network. They describe IP addresses and networks, and do not identify individuals. To the extent that providing these databases to our customers is a "sale" under the CCPA, we comply with the law for that activity, and you can opt out as described below. Where we use and disclose personal information for security and fraud detection, some of your rights may be limited to the extent that they adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other consumers.
If you are a California resident, you have the right to:
To exercise a right, send your request by email and say which right you want to exercise. We confirm receipt within 10 business days and answer within 45 days. We may ask for information to verify your identity. If we cannot verify it, we may deny a request to know, delete or correct.
If we processed personal information about you as a service provider on behalf of one of our customers, please contact that customer directly. If you write to us, give us the name of the customer. We will pass your request on and support them as the law requires.
You can designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf. We will require written proof of the agent's permission and verify your identity directly.
California's "Shine the Light" law lets California residents ask how a business shares their personal information with third parties for those third parties' own direct marketing. We do not share personal information for that purpose. You can ask about our compliance with this law by email or by mail at the address in Section 11 of our Privacy Policy, with "California Privacy Rights Request" in the first line.
