10. U.S. State Data Privacy

California

Additional Disclosures for California residents

This section only applies to residents of California, USA. The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), requires us to provide California consumers with some additional information regarding how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information, and the rights available to California consumers under the CCPA. The terms used in this section have the same meaning as in the CCPA.

As described in section 1 of this Privacy Policy, we may collect the following categories of information about you through our Services or when you visit our Website:

  • Identifiers, such as your name and email address;
  • Personal information categories listed in the California Customer Records statute (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e)), such as your contact information;
  • Device identifiers, such as your IP address;
  • Internet or other network activity information, such as your browsing history or app usage;
  • Geolocation data; such as your approximate location based on your IP address and other information that identifies or can be reasonably associated with your device;

  • Your account log-in information i.e. username and password to access your account (if you have an account with us);
  • Professional or other employment related information, such as where you work and your title; and
  • Financial information, such as credit card and payment data

The sources from which we collect personal information are also described in section 1 of this Privacy Policy. The business and commercial purposes for which we collect this information are described in section 2. The categories of third parties to whom we disclose this information for a business purpose are described in section 4 of this Privacy Policy.

California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you may have the following rights under the CCPA, subject to certain limitations and exceptions under applicable law:

  • Know and Access: You have the right to request to know and access the following information covering the 12 months preceding your request:
    • the categories of personal information we have collected about you;
    • the categories of sources from which your personal information was collected;
    • the business or commercial purposes for collecting, “selling” and/or “sharing” your personal information;
    • the categories of third parties to whom we have disclosed, “sold” or “shared” personal information about you; and
    • the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.

    You have the right to receive your personal information in a portable and commonly used format.

  • Correct: You have the right to request that we correct any of your personal information that we have collected from you that is inaccurate.

  • Opt out of the “Sale” and “Sharing” of your personal information: You have the right to request that a business not “sell” or “share” your personal information with a third party, as those terms are defined under the CCPA. Conversant does not sell personal information as the term “sell” is traditionally understood (i.e. for money). However, we do process personal information through cookies and other similar technologies for the purpose of displaying targeted advertisements if you instruct us to do so, which could be deemed a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under the CCPA. You have the right to opt out of such sharing of personal information. You may modify your cookies choices at any time by adjusting your cookie choices in our cookie banner or in our Cookie Policy.
  • Limit the Use and Disclosure of Your Sensitive Personal Information: We do not use or disclose “sensitive personal information,” as defined by the CCPA other than as described in the “How We Use Your Personal Information” section above or as otherwise permitted under applicable data privacy law. As a result, we do not offer an ability to limit the use or disclosure of sensitive personal information.
  • Non-Discrimination: You have the right to not be discriminated against for exercising any of your CCPA rights.

Please note that the rights described above are not absolute, and where an exception under applicable law applies, we may be entitled to refuse requests in whole or in part. In California, an authorized agent may submit a rights request on your behalf. We may require an authorized agent to verify their authority to submit a request on your behalf, or we may require you to verify your own identity or confirm with us that you provided the agent with permission to submit the request. We will only use the information provided for verification to confirm the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request, and for our compliance records.

To exercise any of the above rights, please refer to our contact details in the “How to contact us” section below. We endeavor to respond to a verifiable request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period (up to a total of 90 days) in writing.
