California Privacy Policy

USADATA, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Company," "us," or "we") value your trust and are committed to the responsible management, use, and protection of personal information. This California Privacy Policy ("Policy") supplements and amends the information contained in our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use and applies solely to visitors, users, and others who reside in the State of California ("consumers" or "you"). We adopt this Policy, which describes our policies and practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information, including personal information you submit or we obtain when you access the Company website or websites, apps, or other online media under our operation and control (collectively, the "Site"), to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 ("CCPA") and other California privacy laws. Any terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this Policy. Nothing herein may be construed as creating any obligations for us beyond what is required by the law. Please read this Policy carefully.

Overview

This overview will provide a plain-spoken statement of USADATA's approach to and obligations under CCPA. Unless we indicate otherwise, the terms used in this Policy have the meanings outlined in the CCPA.

USADATA is not in the business of creating or maintaining permanent databases of consumer personal information. Instead, USADATA, in connection with providing a mailing list, telemarketing list, email list, and data hygiene and enhancement services to a client, collects consumer personal information directly from that client or a limited set of reputable third-party data sources and uses that information to service the client. USADATA does not retain, use, or disclose personal information collected to provide services to one client to provide services to other clients or for its commercial purposes. However, it may use such information to build or improve the quality of its services and/or to detect data security incidents or protect against fraudulent or illegal activity. With limited exceptions, USADATA securely destroys all personal information collected at the conclusion of each client project. The categories of personal information USADATA collects and the purposes for which it uses that information are described in detail below.

USADATA is not a "business," as that term is defined in the CCPA. Instead, it is a "service provider" to certain of its clients. Because it is a service provider, USADATA cannot act upon consumer requests to "know" or "delete" their personal information. In the event that we receive such requests, we will advise the requestor of this fact. USADATA does not, on behalf of any business, sell the personal information of any consumer whom USADATA knows has opted out of the sale of their personal information by that business.

Information We Collect

We may collect personal information in a variety of categories to carry out our business, operate the Site, comply with the law, and other purposes described in the CCPA. Specifically, we have collected the following categories of personal information from consumers within the last twelve (12) months:

1 These categories of data are collected in the Company's role as a Service Provider to its business clients. 
2 This category of data is collected by the Company's Human Resources department related to hiring and personnel decisions. 

The Company may add to the categories of PI it collects. We will notify you when we do so. Personal information does not include certain types of information, including without limitation:

  • Information made lawfully available from federal, state, or local government records.

  • De-identified or aggregated consumer information.

  • Information excluded from the CCPA's scope, such as: 

    • certain health or medical information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) or 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-Bliley Act (GLBA) or California Financial Information Privacy Act (FIPA), and the Driver's Privacy Protection Act of 1994.

We obtain the categories of personal information listed above from the following categories of sources:

  • From the clients to whom we provide services.

  • From the third parties that we interact with in connection with the services we perform, including, for example, advertising networks, data brokers, service providers, consumer data resellers, data analytics providers, internet service providers, social networks, and operating systems and platforms.

  • Through activity on our website (www.usadata.com).

Purposes For Which We Use Personal Information

We may use the personal information we collect for one or more of the following business and/or commercial purposes:

  • To fulfill or meet the reason, you provided the information. For example, if you share your name and contact information to request a price quote or ask a question about our products or services, we will use that personal information to respond to your inquiry. If you provide your personal information to purchase a product or service, we will use that information to process your payment and facilitate delivery. We may also save your information to facilitate new product orders or process returns.

  • We aim to provide you with support and respond to your inquiries, including investigating and addressing your concerns and monitoring and improving our responses.

  • To provide you with information, products, or services that you request from us.

  • To carry out our obligations and enforce our rights arising from any contracts entered into between you and us, including for billing and collections.

  • To improve our website and present its contents to you.

  • For testing, research, analysis, and product development.

  • As necessary or appropriate to protect our rights, property, or safety, as well as those of us, our clients, or others.

  • To respond to law enforcement requests and as required by applicable law, court order, or governmental regulations.

  • This is as described to you when collecting your personal information or as otherwise outlined in the CCPA.

We will not use your personal information for a materially different purpose than those identified above without notifying you of this new use and obtaining your explicit consent.

Categories Of Personal Information Sold Or Disclosed For Business Purposes

In the past twelve (12) months, we have sold or disclosed for a business purpose the following categories of personal information to the following categories of third parties:

(NOTE: Under the CCPA, personal information is not considered "sold" if it is shared at the direction of the consumer.)

Right To Know

As a California resident, you have the right to request that businesses disclose certain information to you about their collection, use, disclosure, and/or sale of your personal information over the past 12 months. Specifically, you have the right to request that these businesses disclose to you:

  • The categories of personal information that were collected about you.

  • The categories of sources for the personal information were collected about you.

  • The business or commercial purpose for collecting that personal information.

  • The categories of personal information the business sold or disclosed for a business purpose.

  • The categories of third parties to whom the personal information was sold or disclosed for a business purpose.

  • The specific pieces of personal information these businesses collected about you.

The business is required to verify your identity before complying with your request. Instructions for submitting verifiable requests for the above information, an explanation of how those requests are verified, and a description of circumstances that may result in the denial of your request should be outlined in the business's privacy policy.

Deletion Request Rights

You have the right to request that a business delete your personal information from its records. A business is required to verify your identity before complying with your request. Instructions for submitting verifiable requests, an explanation of how the business verifies requests, and a description of circumstances that may result in the denial of your request should be outlined in the business's privacy policy.

Submitting Consumer Rights Requests

Because it is a service provider, USADATA cannot act upon consumer requests to know or delete their personal information. In the event that we receive such requests, we will advise the requestor of this fact. USADATA does not, on behalf of any business, sell the personal information of any consumer whom USADATA knows has opted out of the sale of their personal information by that business.

Response Time And Format

We will confirm receipt of your Request within 10 business days. We will endeavor to respond to your request within forty-five (45) calendar days (though, in some instances, we may require up to ninety calendar (90) days to respond, in which case we will notify you that we need the applicable extension, and explain the basis for it). As a service provider, we cannot respond to requests to know or delete your personal information, and will notify you of that fact upon receipt of your request. In the event that a business on whose behalf we sell your personal information advises us that you have opted out of such sales, we will cease selling your information on behalf of that business.

In the event we cannot comply with your request, in part or in full, we will provide a corresponding explanation.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Opt-Out Rights

Depending on the jurisdiction in which you are located, you may have the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information. In most cases, USADATA ("we" or the "Company") does not sell personal information, and in no circumstances does it sell personal information obtained from its clients, employees, job applicants, website and app users, or office visitors. Nor does the Company sell the personal information of minors that it knows are under 16 years of age. We do, however, offer certain services that involve the provision of information to our clients in a manner that may be deemed a "sale" under applicable law. For more information about our processing and sale of personal information in connection with such offerings, please review our online privacy policy.

To exercise your right to opt out of the sale of your personal information, please submit your request to us by emailing privacy@usadata.com or by postal mail:

You can also submit opt-out requests directly to these providers at the following links:

You may use an authorized agent to submit an opt-out request on your behalf if you have provided the authorized agent with signed permission to do so.

Otherwise, we will fulfill your request within a reasonable timeframe in accordance with applicable law.
