California Privacy Rights
California residents may have additional rights concerning their personal information under applicable California privacy laws.
The California Consumer Privacy Act and related laws apply only to businesses meeting specified statutory criteria.

California's current CCPA thresholds include, among other alternatives, annual gross revenue over $25 million, buying/selling/sharing personal information of 100,000 or more California residents or households, or deriving 50% or more of annual revenue from selling California residents' personal information.
