Under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA“), California residents have certain rights around Silver Assist’s collection, use, and sharing of their Personal Data, except that the rights granted to California residents under the CCPA do not apply to Personal Financial Data protected under Federal law.
California Do Not Track Disclosure: California Business & Professions Code Section 22575(b) provides that California residents are entitled to know how a website operator responds to “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) browser settings. DNT is a feature offered by some browsers which, when enabled, sends a signal to websites to request that your browsing is not tracked, such as by third party ad networks, social networks, and analytic companies. We do not currently take actions to respond to DNT signals because a uniform technological standard has not yet been developed. We continue to review new technologies and may adopt a DNT standard once one is created. For information about DNT, visit All About DNT.
