Summary of California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

U.S. TelePacific Corp., dba TPx Communications (“TPx” or “we”), has a “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” link to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). This is a data protection law that provides California residents with certain choices about their data. We do not sell any personal data (ex: your name, email address, phone number, etc.) in the traditional sense. However, the CCPA uses very broad definitions for the words “sale” and “personal information”.

Under the CCPA, “personal information” includes information that is not necessarily directly tied to an individual’s identity but may be associated with a device. This includes identifiers such as IP addresses, browser cookies, and web beacons. The term “sell” does not necessarily mean selling personal information in exchange for money. It can mean sharing or transferring any data. An example of this would be the common flow of information to digital analytics and/or ad platforms.

Under the CCPA, California residents have:

1. the right to know what personal data is being collected;
2. the right to know if your personal data is sold/disclosed and to whom;
3. the right to say “no” to the sale of your personal data;
4. the right to request your personal data;
5. the right to request the deletion of your personal information;
6. the right to not be discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights.
