STATE INFORMATION & RIGHTS

1. CALIFORNIA

​

If you are a California resident, this section applies to you. This section, combined with the above, describes how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information in our capacity as a “business” under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (together with the CCPA, “CPRA”), and the rights that you have with respect to your personal information, including sensitive personal information. For purposes of this section, “personal information” and “sensitive personal information” have the meanings given in the CPRA and do not include information excluded from the CPRA’s scope.
 
Clearview does not sell your personal information, as that term is traditionally understood. However, Clearview’s disclosure of photos collected from the Internet is deemed a “sale” under the CPRA. To opt out of the sale of your personal information, please see the instructions below. Clearview does not “share” personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising. Clearview does not have actual knowledge of the age of the persons in the photos it collects from the Internet. As such, Clearview does not knowingly sell or share personal information about consumers under the age of 16.

Consumer Rights

If you are a California resident, you may exercise the rights below, subject to some exceptions.

​

​

Your Right to Know and Access Personal Information

You have the right to know and access the personal information we have collected about you, including the categories of personal information, the categories of sources from which the personal information is collected, the business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, or sharing personal information, the categories of third parties to whom we disclose personal information, and the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.
​
You may submit a verifiable consumer request up to two (2) times in a twelve (12)-month period for access to your personal information. When you submit an access request, you can request that we deliver the information to you by mail or electronically. If you elect to receive the information electronically, to the extent it is technically feasible for us to do so, we will provide the requested information in a portable and readily usable format. 

​

​

Your Right to Request Deletion 

If you want us to delete the personal information we have collected from you, you can send us a verifiable consumer request requesting that we delete some or all of the information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your request, we will delete your personal information in our active records, unless an exception applies. We will also notify our service providers, contractors or third parties regarding your deletion request to the extent this is necessary to accomplish your request.. In the event that we deny your request to delete based on an exception or another ground under the CPRA, we will inform you, in writing, of the reason.

​

​

Your Right to Correct

You have the right to request us to correct inaccurate personal information we maintain about you

​

How You Can Submit a Verifiable Consumer Request to Know and Access, Delete and Correct 

In order for us to process a request for a right to know and access, delete or correct made pursuant to the CPRA, it is necessary for us to verify your identity. We cannot fulfill your request if we cannot verify your identity.
​
We will acknowledge receipt of a consumer request to know and access, delete, or correct within ten (10) business days of receipt. However, it may take up to forty-five (45) calendar days to fulfill your request, or up to a total of ninety (90) calendar days if additional time is needed. In the event that we cannot complete your request within the initial forty-five (45) calendar day period, we will notify you in writing within the initial forty-five (45) calendar day period.
​
To request to exercise one or more of your CPRA rights, please submit a verifiable consumer request by:

• Visiting the appropriate webform here and providing all of the verification information set forth below; or 

• You can call our toll-free number 1(866) 637-0257 and follow our instructions. 

Only you or a person that you authorize to act on your behalf may submit a Personal Information request. You may also make a personal information request on behalf of your minor child. However, please note that we do not knowingly process children’s information, as mentioned above.
​
All verifiable consumer requests must: 

• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information, or an authorized representative.

• For a request by the actual person, we will typically require: (1) your email address (2) a headshot of you, and (3) a government-issued ID. If we require any additional information from you in order to verify your identity, we will contact you. Subject to applicable law, any additional information you provide for verification purposes will be deleted within a reasonable period of time after responding to your consumer request.

• If we receive your request from an authorized agent, we may ask for evidence that you have provided such agent with a power of attorney or that the agent otherwise has valid written authority to submit requests to exercise rights on your behalf.

​

​

Your Right to Opt-Out of the Sale of Personal Information and Opt-Out Preference Signals 

You may submit a request for opt-out of appearance in Clearview search results using this webform or by calling our toll-free number 1(866) 637-0257 and following our instructions. We also honor opt preference signals on our website. An opt-out preference signal is a signal that is sent by a platform, technology or mechanism on your behalf that communicates your choice to opt-out of the sale of your personal information.

We will honor your request within fifteen (15) business days. 

​

Please note that we do not “share” personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising. As such, we do not offer an opt-out right related to sharing

​

​

Your Right to Non-Discrimination 

​

The CPRA prohibits businesses from discriminating against California consumers for exercising any of their rights under the CPRA. This includes us not: (a) denying you goods or services; (b) charging you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties; (c) providing you a different level or quality of goods or services; (d) suggesting to you that you will receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services; and (e) retaliating against you for exercising your privacy rights.

​

Your Right to Limit the Use and Disclosure of Your Sensitive Personal Information

Under the CPRA, certain types of personal information are considered “sensitive” personal information and require additional data privacy rights and obligations. Clearview collects driver’s license, state identification card and passport (“ID Information”), account login information, and face vectors and photos, and such metadata as image files may contain (“Face Vector Data”), which may be deemed sensitive personal information under the CPRA. You may limit any use and disclosure of your Face Vector Data by submitting a photo of yourself along with California resident proof (i.e., government-issued documentation). We will honor your request within fifteen (15) business days.

Please note that we will only use ID Information to honor your privacy rights request and your account login information to provide you our services. We also only use these types of sensitive personal information for other limited purposes permitted under the CPRA for sensitive data. As such, there is no need to exercise a right to limit use and disclosure of ID Information and account login information, as we do not use it for any purposes beyond that permitted for sensitive personal information under the CPRA.
