California Residents
California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018
Pinpoint Technologies Inc is aware of the CCPA going to effect in California in 2020.
Although we do not track “any” personal information for the contacts we track and sell we still
meet all the CCPA data protection and opt-out requirements of the new law. These requirements
and standards have been implemented in our data management practices and strategies for
several years.
What qualifies as “personal information” under the Act?
For purposes of the Act, “personal information” is defined as “information that identifies, relates
to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or
indirectly, with a particular consumer household.” The Act provides a non-exhaustive list of
examples that includes some expansive examples. For example, personal information includes
“commercial information” (including “records of personal property, products or services
purchased, obtained or considered, or other purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies”),
“Internet or other electronic network activity information” (such as browsing and search
histories), “education information” and “audio, electronic, visual, thermal, olfactory, or similar
information.” Personal information does not include information that lawfully is made available
from federal, state or local government records that is used for a purpose that is compatible with
the purpose for which such data is so maintained.
While various California laws define “personal information” in different ways, they generally
recognize that “personal information” is information that can be used to identify an individual.
The Act’s definition is worded more broadly and includes information that is identifiable to a
household. Also, the Act’s many examples of personal information serve to illustrate how wideranging
the definition can be. For example, the definition of personal information includes unique personal identifiers, which is defined broadly to include device identifiers, other online tracking technologies and “probabilistic identifiers” (identifiers based on personal information that “more probable than not” identify a consumer or device). On the other hand, the Act does not apply to de-identified personal data, as long at the de-identification measures meet the Act’s very strict standards, or to aggregate consumer information, which also is defined strictly by the Act. Companies developing their compliance strategy should give careful consideration to the types of personal information they collect and cast a wide net in terms of thinking about data that may fall within the Act’s definition.
