If you are a California resident, California law requires us to provide you with the following additional information about the purpose for which we use each category of “personal information” (as defined in the CCPA) we collect, and the categories of third parties to which we either disclose such personal information for a business purpose, or to which we “sell” or “share” personal information. Under the CCPA, ”sharing” is defined as the targeting of advertising to a consumer based on that consumer’s personal information obtained from the consumer’s activity across websites. We “share” information for these purposes to provide more relevant and tailored advertising to you regarding our Services and the services. Under the CCPA, “selling” is defined as renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a consumer’s personal information by the business to a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration. We “sell” personal information to enable our customers to discover and attract more ideal prospects, personalize their marketing and sales interactions, and enrich and inform their go-to-market systems.

Individual Rights

The CCPA provides California consumers with several individual rights with respect to Personal Information. Note that these rights apply to individual consumers, not to Companies. This section describes those rights in detail and provides information on how to exercise those rights.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of the rights described in this section, please use Clearbit’s Privacy Request form to submit a request to the privacy team. The Privacy Request form is available at https://preferences.clearbit.com/privacy. You can also contact us at privacy@clearbit.com or call (866) 241-4820 with (i) a complete description of your request, including the specific right(s) you wish to exercise and (ii) sufficient information about you so we can confirm that your request is a verifiable consumer request, including at a minimum your name and email address. Once we have received your verifiable consumer request, we will respond consistent with applicable law. Please note that you may also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. To do so, you must provide us with written authorization or a power of attorney, signed by you, for the agent to act on your behalf. You will still need to verify your identity directly with us.

Access and Data Portability Rights

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of Personal Information: (1) categories of Personal Information we collected about you; categories of sources of Personal Information we have collected about you; our business or commercial purpose for collecting that Personal Information (if applicable); categories of Personal Information we have made available to our customers or partners, if any; and categories of Personal Information we disclosed to service providers or third parties, and the categories of those parties, for a business purpose, if any; and (2) the specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you in a readily useable format that allows you to transmit it to another entity.

Deletion Rights

You have the right to request that we delete Personal Information about you that we have collected, subject to certain exceptions. We may retain a record of the request for the purpose of ensuring that the consumer’s personal information remains deleted from our database. The CCPA includes multiple exceptions to this deletion right. For example, we are not required to delete information if we need to use it for the following:

Completing a transaction or contract with you.
Detecting security interests, protecting against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecuting people responsible for that activity.
Debugging our products to identify and repair errors to our Services.
Exercising, and allowing others to exercise, free speech, or other legal rights.
Internal uses that align with your expectations.
Complying with a legal requirement.
Other internal and lawful uses consistent with the reasons you provided the information.

Correction Rights

You have the right to request that we correct Personal Information we maintain about you, subject to certain exceptions.

You have the right to direct us not to “share” or “sell” your Personal Information on a going-forward basis, as those terms are defined in the CCPA. We “sell” the Personal Information identified above to help our customers and partners identify ideal prospects, personalize their marketing and sales interactions, and enrich and inform their go-to-market systems. We “share” data to provide more relevant and tailored advertising to you regarding our Services. We do not knowingly “sell” or “share” the personal information of children under 16. Please click DO NOT SELL OR SHARE MY INFO to exercise this right.

Please note that we also respond to and abide by opt-out preference signals sent through the Global Privacy Control. Any opt out preferences you have exercised through these methods will only apply to the specific device/browser on which you made them. For more information on how to use the Global Privacy Control, see https://www.globalprivacycontrol.org.

Non-Discrimination

You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for the exercise of your rights under the CCPA, subject to certain limitations. Please note that we reserve the right to offer you certain financial incentives as permitted by the CCPA that may result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt-in consent, which you may revoke at any time by contacting us.

Sensitive Personal Information

The CCPA also allows you to limit the use or disclosure of your “sensitive personal information” (as defined in the CCPA) if your sensitive personal information is used for certain purposes. Please note that we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information other than for purposes for which you cannot opt out under the CCPA.
