Residents of California, who purchase any service/product, are protected by the rights pertaining to the privacy and use of their personal information as laid down and enforced specifically by the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) of 2018 as well as all other state laws that pertain to the privacy of consumer personal information.

This section provides an explanation and description of the consumer rights as laid down by the CCPA and offers information to consumers on how to exercise their legal rights in the matter.

Information that qualifies as public records does not fall within the ambit of the CCPA nor of the explanation and description of the law/laws provided in this section.

 

Disclosure of data collected, data collection methods and data portability

Under the aegis of the CCPA and other California Consumer Privacy Laws, all clients of CaliforniaArrests.org, who are residents of the State of California are entitled to ask for details pertaining to the personal information collected by the site in the preceding 1 year and the use of such data over that period. 

Once we (the owners, managers, designated representatives of CaliforniaArrests.org) receive such a request for disclosure from our consumers, we proceed to verify that the request has indeed been received from said consumer. This is done to prevent fraudulent access to the data.

After the verification has been completed, CaliforniaArrests.org provides access to the extent of information as permitted and required by applicable laws. This, typically, includes:

• The categories and types of your personal data collected.

 

• The sources used to collect this personal data.

 

• The commercial purposes for collecting your personal data.

 

• The categories and types of entities (third party establishments) that this data is shared with.

 

• If the personal data was used/exchanged for commercial purposes, the various categories of personal information shared/exchanged with the specific category of third parties/recipients.

 

In keeping with California Laws, you have the legal right to request that all the personal data collected about you and from you be made available to you in a readily accessible, usable and portable format, as is feasible to the extent of our technical capabilities.

Once we confirm that the request did originate from a verifiable consumer of the site/business, CaliforniaArrests.org will delete the information it retains.

Furthermore, CaliforniaArrests.org will also ask for the deletion of your personal data retained by our service providers and partners. However, there are a few exceptional cases in which we may not be able to accept and comply with the request for data deletion.

The only time CaliforniaArrests.org denies your request for data deletion is if said data is required by us or our partners/service providers to:

• Complete a transaction as agreed and requested by you, for which the personal information was collected.

 

• Provide products or services for which such information is needed.

How to exercise your rights to data access, data portability and data deletion?

In order to access your personal data retained by CaliforniaArrests.org, ask for information about the data collected. To request the deletion of such personal data, you will have to submit a consumer request that can be verified by CaliforniaArrests.org. This can be done in two ways:

1. Go to https://californiaarrests.org/ccpaOptOut and follow the procedure explained there.

 

2. Get in touch with us through the contact form of CaliforniaArrests.org at https://www.californiaarrests.org/contact-form

 

Only you, the consumer/client/service user of CaliforniaArrests.org, or a person registered as your representative with the California Secretary of State and is authorized to make such a request on your behalf, can ask to access said information.

If the data retained by us pertains to/is about/connected to a minor, the parent of said minor can make a consumer request to access such information. Moreover, only two requests for data access are allowed over a period of 12 months (not necessarily a calendar year). The consumer request filed by you should have:

• Sufficient, appropriate and accurate information about you (meaning the consumer of CaliforniaArrests.org hence the subject of the data) that allows us (CaliforniaArrests.org) to verify and ascertain that the request is indeed filed by the person whose personal information is being requested.
• A proper and clear description of your request that allows CaliforniaArrests.org to understand and evaluate it and to offer an appropriate and valid response to it.

We (CaliforniaArrests.org) do not accept nor provide access to personal data requested unless we can verify the identity of the person making the request and confirm that the requester is a consumer of CaliforniaArrests.org, hence the subject of the personal data collected.

CaliforniaArrests.org also follows the same due diligence when it comes to verifying the identity of a person who is authorized to access such data on behalf of the subject/consumer.

You do not have to register with us in order to file a verifiable consumer request. The personal information you provide in the verifiable consumer request is exclusively used to confirm that the data collected is related to you.

The information used for the verification process is that which is mentioned/used in the consumer verifiable request filed with CaliforniaArrests.org. The information about the collected data that is provided in response to a verifiable consumer request only includes the details collected over a preceding period of 12 months from the data on which the request is filed with CaliforniaArrests.org.

The response to all consumer verifiable requests, including those that are denied, is provided within 45 days of thee request being filed. In the event that we anticipate a delay, you will be notified of the additional time needed as well as the reason for the delay within the 45 day period.

The response to consumer verifiable requests can be sent electronically or through mail, as per consumer requirements and choice.

The data (where legally appropriate and applicable) is typically offered free of charge. However, CaliforniaArrests.org reserves the right to charge a fee for the service to cover its costs. In adherence with local laws, the fee is reasonable and only charged if the consumer requests are found to be repeated, excessive and/or unfounded.

CaliforniaArrests.org does not penalize or otherwise discriminate against its consumers, who choose to exercise the rights enjoyed by them under the CCPA. As such, unless California laws permit these actions, we do not:

• Deny/discontinue our services/products to those who file a verifiable consumer request.

 

• Use discriminatory pricing tactics against such consumers.

 

• Provide monetary benefits/discounts in a bid to dissuade our clients from filing such requests.

 

• Offer substandard products/services as a punitive/discriminatory measure against requesters.

 

• Prevent access to certain services or products/levels of product/services to such consumers.

 

• Suggest in any way or manner that exercising your CCPA rights has led or will lead to differences in product/service quality and pricing.
