YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

If you are a California resident, you have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).

This page explains:

WHAT IS A "SALE" UNDER CCPA?

Broad CCPA Definition

Under CCPA, a "sale" means:

"Selling, 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."

Key Point: This is MUCH broader than a traditional commercial sale. It includes sharing data for non-monetary benefits.

What Cognitiva Does

We DO: ✓ License anonymized, aggregated datasets to third parties for monetary consideration

We DO NOT: ✗ Sell identifiable personal information to data brokers
✗ Sell email lists or contact information
✗ Sell individual user profiles
✗ Share data for targeted advertising

COGNITIVA'S DATA PRACTICES

Data Licensing (May Constitute "Sale" Under CCPA)

What We License:

Who We License To:

What's Anonymized: Per our Privacy Policy Section 8:

Why This May Be a "Sale": Even though data is anonymized and doesn't identify you, CCPA's broad definition may classify licensing anonymized data as a "sale."

What We Share (NOT Sales)

Service Providers (NOT Sales): These are CCPA "service providers" processing data on our behalf:

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: Will opting out cost me money or degrade my service?

A: No. CCPA prohibits discrimination for exercising your rights. Your subscription price and service quality remain the same.

Q: What happens to data you've already collected about me?

A: Opt-out applies to future data only. Past anonymized data has already been aggregated and cannot be "un-anonymized" or recalled.

Q: How is this different from GDPR rights?

A: GDPR gives you stronger rights (e.g., deletion of anonymized data in some cases). CCPA opt-out is specific to "sales." You can exercise both GDPR and CCPA rights.

Q: Can I opt-out for my entire organization?

A: Authorized account administrators can submit opt-out requests on behalf of their organization. Contact privacy@cognitiva.systems for enterprise opt-out.

Q: What if I'm not a California resident?

A: You may still request opt-out, but CCPA rights specifically apply to California residents. See our Privacy Policy for general opt-out rights.

Q: Do you sell data to advertisers?

A: No. We license anonymized datasets to AI/ML organizations, not advertisers. We do NOT engage in targeted advertising.

Q: How do I know my opt-out request was processed?

A: You'll receive email confirmation when your opt-out is complete. You can also email optout@cognitiva.systems to check status.
