5. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) Rights
Under the CCPA, among other rights, California consumers have the right to request that a business that collects a consumer's personal data disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal data that a business has collected about consumers. You also have the right to request that a business delete any personal data about the consumer that a business has collected, and request that a business that sells a consumer's personal data, not sell the consumer's personal data. If you make a request, we have one month to respond to you.
