Compliance with the California Consumer Privacy Protection Act (CCPA)

What is CCPA?

CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) is a California consumer privacy law that establishes the rights of California residents related to the confidentiality of their personal information. The law applies to companies operating in the state of California and meeting certain other criteria, like income indicators and information processing volume. This law gives residents of the state the right to prohibit "the sale" of their "personal information" (these terms are defined in the text of the law).

Who and what does CCPA apply to?

• Has an annual revenue of more than $25 million.
• Processes personal information of at least 50 thousand consumers a year.
• Makes at least 50% of its annual revenue by "selling" the consumers' personal information.

"A Service Provider", according to CCPA, is a company that processes personal information on behalf of a Business. AppMetrica is considered a "Service Provider".

• IP addresses.
• Email addresses.
• Account names.
• Social security numbers.
• Driver's license numbers.
• Bank account numbers.
• Credit card numbers.
• Personal property records.

Complying with the GDPR

The main innovation of CCPA is granting consumers certain rights concerning their personal data and establishing corresponding obligations for companies that are subject to CCPA. Companies (including users of AppMetrica) will be required to:

• Provide consumers with information about the categories and purposes of data collection prior to collecting the data.
• Include in the privacy policy detailed information about the sources, business purposes and categories of personal information that is collected, including the sale or transfer of these data categories to other legal entities.
• Provide consumers with the right to access, delete, and transfer certain parts of the personal information you collected.
• Enable functionality that allows consumers to refuse the "sale" of their data. There may be exceptions. For example, transferring data to a service provider.
• For minors under the age of 16, include opt-in consent to eliminate the possibility of selling the personal data of a minor without active consent.
