Personal information does not include: (1) publicly available information from government records; (2) de-identified or aggregated consumer information; (3) information excluded from the CCPA’s scope, like health or medical information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA) or clinical trial data; personal information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FRCA), the Gramm-Leach-Billey Act (GLBA) or the California Financial Information Privacy Act (FIPA), and the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act of 1994.

Only a California consumer (“requestor”) or their authorized agent may make a verifiable consumer request related to personal information.  California consumers may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of their minor child.  The verifiable consumer request must:

For data portability requests, a format to provide personal information that is readily useable and should allow transmission of the information from one entity to another shall be provided by the requestor.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to a verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.  If it is determined that the request warrants a fee, an estimate will be communicated.
