13. Your Rights.  

Effective January 1, 2020, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) grants new rights to California consumers.

  • The right to know what personal information is collected, used, shared or sold, both as to the categories and specific pieces of personal information;
  • The right to delete personal information held by businesses and by extension, a business’s service provider;
  • The right to opt-out of sale of personal information. Consumers are able to direct a business that sells personal information to stop selling that information. Children under the age of 16 must provide opt in consent, with a parent or guardian consenting for children under 13.
  • The right to non-discrimination in terms of price or service when a consumer exercises a privacy right under CCPA.


Certain businesses are subject to the CCPA if one or more of the following are true:

  • Has gross annual revenues in excess of $25 million;
  • Buys, receives, or sells the personal information of 50,000 or more consumers, households, or devices;
  • Derives 50 percent or more of annual revenues from selling consumers’ personal information.


Currently, we are not subject to the CCPA. You can obtain further information at www.oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa. 


If you are a European resident, you have the right to access personal information we hold about you and to ask that your personal information be corrected, updated, or deleted. If you would like to exercise this right, please contact us through the contact information below.


Additionally, if you are a European resident, please note that your information will be transferred outside of Europe, including the United States. 


The California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), a ballot initiative, amends the CCPA and includes additional privacy protections for consumers passed in November 2020. The majority of the CPRA’s provisions will enter into force Jan. 1, 2023, with a look-back to Jan. 2022. 


Like the CCPA, the CPRA applies to for-profit entities that do business in California, collect personal information from California consumers, and meet certain threshold criteria. These threshold requirements have changed under the CPRA, so it will be important for companies to assess whether they satisfy the new thresholds, which include:

  • As of January 1 of the calendar year, the company exceeded $25 million in gross revenue in the preceding calendar year.
  • The company buys, sells, or shares the personal information of 100,000 or more consumers or households.
  • The company derives 50% or more of its annual revenue from selling or sharing consumers' personal information.


If any of the criteria above are satisfied, the company will be a “business” under the CPRA.  Currently, we are not subject to the CPRA.

New and Expanded Rights for California Consumers

The California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) expands the rights granted to California consumers under the CCPA and introduces some new privacy rights, including:

  • The right to opt out of sharing of personal information. “Sharing” is defined as “sharing…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 cross-context behavioral advertising, whether or not for monetary or other valuable consideration,” which essentially refers to interest-based advertising.
  • The right to opt out of certain uses and disclosures of “sensitive personal information,” which refers to personal information that reveals: a consumer’s Social Security number, driver’s license, state ID card, or passport number; a consumer’s account log-in, financial account, debit card, or credit card number in combination with a security or access code, password or credentials; a consumer’s precise geolocation; a consumer’s racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, or union membership; the contents of a consumer’s email and text messages, unless the business is the intended recipient of the communications; a consumer’s genetic data; a consumer’s biometric data, in certain circumstances; a consumer’s health data; and data concerning a consumer’s sex life or sexual orientation.
  • The right to correct inaccurate personal information.
  • The right to enhanced transparency about a business’s information practices, including information about data retention periods.
  • New rights with respect to the use of automated decision-making technology, including for profiling.


You can contact kenny@kennykangcpa.com to request any of these disclosures. You may make up to two requests in any 12-month period. This right does not apply to Kenny Kang CPA employees, job applicants or contractors.
