11 - Supplemental Notice to Residents of California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Nevada and Other U.S. States in Which an Applicable Privacy Law is in Effect



11.1 Introduction.


In this section, we provide information for residents of California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Nevada, and such other U.S. states in which an applicable privacy or data protection law is in effect from time to time, as may be required under the applicable privacy or data protection laws of such states in effect from time to time (“State Privacy Laws”). For instance, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), as amended by the California Consumer Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), and the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (“VCDPA”), require that we provide their respective residents certain specific information about how we handle their personal information. Because certain State Privacy Laws require that we disclose specific information about how we handle certain personal information collected about residents of their states, the scope of this section may be different than the scope of the rest of our Privacy Notice.



11.2 Definitions of key terms. 


Under State Privacy Laws, subject to certain exceptions, “Personal Information” is generally any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular resident or household in the applicable state. 

A “Sale” of Personal Information under State Privacy Laws such as CCPA and VCDPA may occur any time a business sells or makes available any Personal Information to a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration. 

A “Share” of Personal Information under the CPRA generally means disclosing, making available or communicating Personal Information by a business to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising, whether or not for monetary or other valuable consideration, including transactions between a business and a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising for the benefit of a business in which no money is exchanged. 

Cross-context behavioral advertising” means the targeting of advertising to a consumer based on the consumer’s Personal Information obtained from the consumer’s activity across businesses, distinctly-branded websites, applications, or services, other than the business, distinctly-branded website, application, or service with which the consumer intentionally interacts. 

Sensitive personal information” under State Privacy Laws is generally defined as Personal Information that reveals sensitive information about a consumer, such as social security, driver’s license, state identification card or passport numbers, account log-in, financial account, debit card or credit card numbers in combination with any required security or access code, password or credentials allowing access to an account, precise geolocation, data revealing racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, physical or mental health diagnosis, sexual orientation, or citizen or immigrant status, as well as processing of genetic or biometric data for identification, and personal data collected from a known child.



11.3 Rights under State Privacy Laws.


Depending on where you reside, you may have additional legal rights with respect to your information under State Privacy Laws, beyond those described under Section 7 (Your Choices) above. These rights are described below. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply in limited cases. Consistent with State Privacy Laws, this Supplemental Notice provides information about how to exercise such rights for residents of the above states. This section does not apply to any matters exempted from State Privacy Laws during the period of exemption, nor to matters covered by an applicable law prior to the relevant portion of the applicable State Privacy Laws going into effect.

11 - Supplemental Notice to Residents of California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Nevada and Other U.S. States in Which an Applicable Privacy Law is in Effect


11.1 Introduction.


In this section, we provide information for residents of California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Nevada, and such other U.S. states in which an applicable privacy or data protection law is in effect from time to time, as may be required under the applicable privacy or data protection laws of such states in effect from time to time (“State Privacy Laws”). For instance, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), as amended by the California Consumer Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), and the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (“VCDPA”), require that we provide their respective residents certain specific information about how we handle their personal information. Because certain State Privacy Laws require that we disclose specific information about how we handle certain personal information collected about residents of their states, the scope of this section may be different than the scope of the rest of our Privacy Notice.


11.2 Definitions of key terms. 


Under State Privacy Laws, subject to certain exceptions, “Personal Information” is generally any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular resident or household in the applicable state. 

A “Sale” of Personal Information under State Privacy Laws such as CCPA and VCDPA may occur any time a business sells or makes available any Personal Information to a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration. 

A “Share” of Personal Information under the CPRA generally means disclosing, making available or communicating Personal Information by a business to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising, whether or not for monetary or other valuable consideration, including transactions between a business and a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising for the benefit of a business in which no money is exchanged. 

Cross-context behavioral advertising” means the targeting of advertising to a consumer based on the consumer’s Personal Information obtained from the consumer’s activity across businesses, distinctly-branded websites, applications, or services, other than the business, distinctly-branded website, application, or service with which the consumer intentionally interacts. 

Sensitive personal information” under State Privacy Laws is generally defined as Personal Information that reveals sensitive information about a consumer, such as social security, driver’s license, state identification card or passport numbers, account log-in, financial account, debit card or credit card numbers in combination with any required security or access code, password or credentials allowing access to an account, precise geolocation, data revealing racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, physical or mental health diagnosis, sexual orientation, or citizen or immigrant status, as well as processing of genetic or biometric data for identification, and personal data collected from a known child.


11.3 Rights under State Privacy Laws.


Depending on where you reside, you may have additional legal rights with respect to your information under State Privacy Laws, beyond those described under Section 7 (Your Choices) above. These rights are described below. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply in limited cases. Consistent with State Privacy Laws, this Supplemental Notice provides information about how to exercise such rights for residents of the above states.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies to our processing of your Personal Data. If you are located in Switzerland, The Swiss Federal Data Protection Act applies to our processing of Personal Data. If you are located in the United Kingdom, then the Data Protection Act 2018 applies to our processing of personal data (the foregoing laws in this sub-section, collectively, “EU Data Protection Laws”). To the extent information we collect is associated with an identified or identifiable natural person and is protected as personal data under EU Data Protection Laws, it is referred to in this Privacy Notice as “Personal Data”. These laws each grant those located respectively in the EEA, Switzerland, and the UK a set of clear privacy rights and imposes responsibilities on Predactiv as we process the Personal Data of data subjects located in those places (“EEA Data Subjects”). This section is designed to provide more information on how Predactiv adheres to the above EU Data Protection Laws and your rights as a data subject.

The same right does not apply to processing which is necessary for us to comply with our legal obligations or to perform a contract with you. These rights may extend to the Personal Data we place into cookies or similar tracking technologies.
