The California Consumer Privacy Act or “CCPA” (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100 et seq.) affords consumers residing in California certain rights with respect to their personal information. If you are a California resident, this section applies to you.

Civ. Code § 1798.80(e) (such as physical characteristics); commercial information (such as Services purchased); internet or other electronic network activity information (such as browsing behavior and other usage data); approximate location information (such as the location of your meeting); audio, electronic, and visual information (such as recordings of your video input and audio input and output); professional or employment-related information (such as the type of company you work for and your role within the company); inferences drawn from the other listed categories of information (such as your sentiment and engagement levels and your approximate location); and other personal information (such as hashed payment card information).

Categories of Recipients
California law requires that we provide transparency about scenarios in which we may “sell” personal information, which, for the purposes of the CCPA, broadly means scenarios in which Read AI has shared personal information with third parties in exchange for valuable consideration. We do not provide information about you to other companies for money. Instead, like many other companies, we do use third-party cookies and related technologies to provide you with ads targeted to your interests, and this may be deemed a “sale” under the CCPA. You may opt out of sharing for targeted advertising by clicking on the “Cookie Settings” button. In the preceding 12 months, we have “sold/shared” the following categories of personal information to the following categories of third parties:

Subject to certain limitations, you have the right to (1) request to know more about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we collect, use, disclose, and “sell” (as described above), (2) request deletion of your personal information, (3) opt out of any “sales” of your personal information that may be occurring, (4) request correction of inaccurate personal information; and (5) not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. You may make these requests by emailing your request to legal@read.ai or completing this webform. We will verify your request by asking you to provide certain identifying information, such as your email address, or information related to your recent interactions with us. You can also designate an authorized agent to exercise these rights on your behalf, but 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. We will not discriminate against you if you exercise your rights under the CCPA.
