CCPA Notice for California Residents

 

Effective Date: April 1, 2026

This CCPA Notice applies only to California residents and supplements the Arborlinked, LLC Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”). If there is a conflict between this CCPA Notice and the Privacy Policy, this CCPA Notice controls for California residents.

1) Overview

The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CCPA”), gives California residents certain rights regarding their personal information and requires covered businesses to provide specific disclosures and notices.

 

This CCPA Notice explains:

  • The categories of personal information we collect and why;
  • How we disclose personal information and whether we “sell” or “share” it (as those terms are defined under California law);
  • How long we retain personal information; and
  • How to exercise your California rights.

2) Categories of Personal Information We Collect

Our Privacy Policy describes the information we collect through our Services, including in communications and through automated technologies such as cookies and analytics tools.

Depending on how you interact with the Services, we may collect the following categories of personal information (as described in the Privacy Policy):

A. Identifiers / Account & Contact Information

 

  • Name, email address, telephone number, postal address, username, and other contact information you provide.

B. Commercial / Transaction Information (Employers)

 

  • Subscription, transaction, purchase/order history, and related account history.

 

C. Payment Information (Processed by Third Parties)

 

  • Payment-related information associated with subscription purchases (note: payment card processing is handled by a third-party payment processor).

 

D. Internet / Network / Device & Usage Information

 

  • IP address, device identifiers, browser type/settings, operating system, preferred language, logs, clickstream/usage details, cookies, and similar tracking technologies.

 

E. Inferences / Analytics (If Generated)

 

  • Aggregated or statistical information derived from activity on the Services (where it does not directly identify you).

 

F. Optional Demographic or Identity Document Information (If Provided)

 

  • Demographic information (e.g., age, gender, income level, education) only if you have consented; and identity document information (e.g., Social Security or driver’s license number) only if you have consented (if applicable).

Client-confirm flag: Your Privacy Policy includes demographic and identity-document categories “if consented.” If the platform will not actually collect these, consider removing them from the Privacy Policy (and therefore from this CCPA Notice) to avoid overbreadth.

3) Purposes for Collecting and Using Personal Information

We collect and use personal information for the purposes described in the Privacy Policy, including to: provide the Services; manage accounts and subscriptions; process payments; provide support and troubleshoot; improve and secure the Services; prevent fraud/abuse; and comply with legal obligations. California requires disclosure of the purposes for which personal information is collected or used.

4) How We Disclose Personal Information

We may disclose personal information as described in the Privacy Policy, including:

  • To service providers/contractors that support our business (e.g., hosting, analytics, security, support);
  • To payment processors to process subscription payments;
  • For legal compliance or to protect rights/safety; and
  • In connection with a business transfer (e.g., merger or acquisition).

5) “Sale” and “Sharing” of Personal Information (California Definitions)

 

A. Do We “Sell” Personal Information?

 

Our Privacy Policy states that we do not sell personal information to third parties.

 

B. Do We “Share” Personal Information for Cross-Context Behavioral Advertising?

Our Privacy Policy explains that automated technologies and third parties may collect information to provide interest-based/behavioral advertising or targeted content, and includes an opt-out mechanism to the extent such activity is considered a “sale,” “targeted advertising,” or “profiling” under applicable laws.

Accordingly, for California residents, we provide the opt-out rights described below. California residents have the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information (as those terms are defined under California law).

C. Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information (Opt-Out)

You may opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information by using:

D. Global Privacy Control (GPC)

Our Privacy Policy states that some browsers/extensions support the Global Privacy Control (GPC) and that we will make reasonable efforts to respect GPC signals as required by applicable law. [DG2] 

6) Sensitive Personal Information

California provides a right to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information in certain circumstances.  Our Privacy Policy includes examples of identity document information (e.g., Social Security number, driver’s license number) “if you have consented,” which may qualify as sensitive personal information under California law if collected.  We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes that require a ‘Limit’ link.”

7) Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in the Privacy Policy, including providing the Services, complying with law, resolving disputes, and preventing fraud/abuse. California requires disclosure of the length of time a business intends to retain each category of personal information (or the criteria used to determine that period), and limits retention to what is reasonably necessary for the disclosed purpose.

8) Your California Privacy Rights and How to Exercise Them

California residents may have the right to:

  • Request to Know / Access (categories and specific pieces of personal information);
  • Request Deletion (subject to exceptions);
  • Request Correction of inaccurate personal information;
  • Opt Out of sale or sharing of personal information;
  • Limit use and disclosure of sensitive personal information (where applicable); and
  • Non-discrimination for exercising CCPA rights.
