California Privacy Rights

Your California Privacy Rights

Last Updated: June 30, 2020

This section of the Privacy Policy provides additional information solely for California residents, as required under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) and applies to their “personal information” as defined in the CCPA, whether collected online or offline. This section of the Privacy Policy prevails over any conflicting provisions of this Privacy Policy with regard to Californians’ personal information.

“Personal information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or device (“personal information”). This and any other terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this section.

Note, however, that there are a number of exemptions from the application of the CCPA. The table below sets out some of the categories of personal information (as defined by the CCPA) that are not subject to the CCPA, and therefore are not covered by this California section of the Privacy Policy. Note that other sections of the Privacy Policy may still apply in addition to other privacy notices that we may issue addressing our specific relationship with you, including privacy notices that are sent to individuals.

Categories of Personal Information Exempt Under CCPA

Personal information we collect about job applicants, independent contractors, or current or former full-time, part-time and temporary employees and staff, officers, directors or owners of Desert Champions, and that is used solely in that context.
Publicly available information from government records.
Except for your Right to Opt-out and your Right of Non-Discrimination (see “Your CCPA Rights and Choices” below), personal information we collect in a “business-to-business context”. This personal information is collected when we engage in business-to-business transaction or communicate solely in the context of conducting due diligence for, providing or receiving a product or service to or from a company and obtain personal information regarding California residents.
Communicate solely in the context of conducting due diligence for, providing or receiving a product or service to or from a company and obtain personal information regarding California residents.
