When you are answering the Privacy Policy questionnaire, you will be asked whether you want to provide California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) rights to California residents only or to everyone that visits your website or application, regardless of location. CCPA provides the following privacy rights to residents of California:
- The right to access the personal information collected about them;
- The right to know whether their personal information is sold or disclosed and to whom;
- The right to say no to the sale of their personal information;
- The right to request the deletion of their personal information;
- The right to equal service and price, even if they exercise their privacy rights.
By law, these rights are provided to residents of California only. However, some businesses may want to provide these rights to every website visitor as doing so can:
- Prevent the work inherent in confirming the individual's place of residence when they request to exercise their privacy rights;
- Reduce the confusion of individuals as to what privacy rights apply to them;
- Help reduce the length of your Privacy Policy, especially if you have to comply with multiple privacy laws.
To answer this question, select whether you'd like to offer the above privacy rights to California residents only or to everyone that visits your website or application, regardless of location.
