3.5 California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a U.S. law enacted in the State of California effective beginning January 1, 2020. In general, the CCPA expands the privacy rights of California citizens and requires certain companies to comply with a range of data protection requirements including:
• The consumer’s right to receive a copy of the specific personal information collected about them during the 12 months prior to their request;
• The consumer’s right to know a business’s data collection practices, including the categories of personal information it has collected, the source of the information, the business’s use of the information, and to whom the business disclosed the information it has collected about the consumer;
• The consumer’s right to have such personal information deleted (with exceptions);
• The consumer’s right to know the business’ data sale practices and to request that their personal information not be sold to third parties;
• A prohibition on businesses on discrimination for exercising a consumer right; and

Outfield is considered a "Service Provider" under the CCPA and shall collect, access, maintain, use, process and transfer customer personal information and their end-users solely for the purpose of performing our obligations under Outfield's existing agreement(s); and, for no commercial purpose other than the execution of such obligations and development of Outfield's Services.

As such, Outfield addresses data protection requirements throughout this Privacy Policy, our User Agreement, Security Page, GDPR Page, Cookie Policy as well as data portability and deletion features in the Outfield web app.
