Your California Privacy Rights - California Consumer Privacy Act
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) was enacted in 2018 and took effect on January 1, 2020 in the State of California. This landmark piece of legislation secured new privacy rights for California consumers. On October 10, 2019 Attorney General Xavier Becerra released draft regulations under the CCPA for public comment.
This California-specific notice ("California Disclosure and Privacy Policy") applies only to California resident consumers ("California consumer" or "you") who are natural persons who are residents in the State of California for other than a temporary or transitory purpose, or who are domiciled in the State of California but may be outside the state for a temporary or transitory purpose, however identified, including by any unique identifier. An individual may be a resident although not domiciled in the State of California, and, conversely, may be domiciled in the state without being a resident.
The CCPA grants new rights to California consumers
1. The right to know what personal information is collected, used, shared, or sold, both as to the categories and specific pieces of personal information
2. The right to delete personal information held by businesses and by extension, a business's service provider(s)
3. 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 legal guardian consenting for children under age 13.
4. The right to non-discrimination in terms of price or service when a consumer exercises a privacy right under CCPA.
The CCPA imposes new business obligations
1. Businesses subject to the CCPA [which have $25 million+ gross annual revenues, buys, receives or sells personal information of 50,000 or more consumers, households, or devices; or derives 50% or more of annual revenues from selling consumers' personal information] must provide notice to consumers at or before data collection. Also, per the proposed drafted regulations, businesses that handle the personal information of more than 4 million consumers will have additional obligations.
2. Businesses must create procedures to respond to requests from consumers to opt out, know, and delete. For requests to opt out, businesses must provide a "Do Not Sell My Info" link on their website or mobile app.
3. Businesses must respond to requests from consumers to know, delete, and opt out within specific timeframes. Draft regulations state businesses must treat user-enabled privacy settings that signal a consumer's choice to opt out as a validly submitted opt-out request.
- 4. Businesses must verify the identity of consumers who make requests to know and to delete, whether or not the consumer maintains a password-protected account with the business.
- California consumers have the right to request that Advantage Mortgage Service disclose what personal information it collects, uses, discloses, and sells about them.
- This information will only be disclosed to a California consumer upon receipt of a verifiable consumer request as outlined in the information below.
- California consumers may submit a verifiable consumer request to know by completing the webform located HERE.
This California Disclosure and Privacy Policy governs your use of https://www.mortgagesinca.com (including, without limitation, both mobile and online versions of this Site) and also applies to your use of all features, applications, social media channels, content, downloads and other services that we may make available through the Site and/or that post a link to this California Consumer Disclosure and Privacy Policy, including but not limited to subscribing (opting in) to receive our email marketing communications, agreeing to receive text or phone message communications from us, participating in other marketing campaigns, or by communicating with our employees, associates, subcontractors and others in our facilities, or any other communication with us (all referred to as the "Platform") — regardless of how you access or use the Site, whether via personal computers, mobile devices or otherwise. It also governs your use of our services offline as well. Advantage Mortgage Service employees, associates, or customer service representatives, may collect information directly from you in our office or facilities or at local docks at Lake Powell as they fulfill your service order or product purchase(s).

International Privacy Rights
Regarding international privacy laws, Advantage Mortgage Service respects the privacy rights of any person, and also complies with the European law regarding privacy in Europe — the GDPR or General Data Protection Regulation. See this link about it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Protection_Directive
The Data Protection Directive (officially Directive 95/46/EC on the protection of individuals with regard to processing of personal data ( (PII US) ) and on the free movement of such data) was a European Union directive adopted in 1995 which regulates the processing of personal data within the European Union. It is an important component of EU privacy and human rights law.
The General Data Protection Regulation adopted in April, 2016 has superseded the Data Protection Directive and became enforceable starting May 25, 2018. The seven principles governing the OECD's recommendations for protection of personal data were:
1. Notice—data subjects should be given notice when their data is being collected;
2. Purpose—data should only be used for the purpose stated and not for any other purposes;
3. Consent—data should not be disclosed without the data subject's consent;
4. Security—collected data should be kept secure from any potential abuses;
5. Disclosure—data subjects should be informed as to who is collecting their data;
6. Access—data subjects should be allowed to access their data and make corrections to any inaccurate data;
7. Accountability—data subjects should have a method available to them to hold data collectors accountable for not following the above
principles.
The OECD guidelines, however, were non-binding, and data privacy laws still varied widely across Europe.
The EC has set a compliance date of 25 May 2018, giving businesses around the world a chance to prepare for compliance, review data protection language in contracts, consider transition to international standards, update privacy policies, and review marketing plans.
Under GDPR, companies must develop processes and/or systems to respond to individual requests for access to personal information and for erasure of personal information.
