[1] Client to confirm scope of this Privacy Policy. Typically, we draft privacy policies broadly so that we can use them uniformly across sites and applications. [2] Same as above. Client to confirm scope of Privacy Policy. [3] Client to confirm list is accurate, comprehensive and/or to make any appropriate revisions. [4] Client to confirm list is accurate, comprehensive, and to revise accordingly. Note that the purposes here should be reasonably tailored for reasons specific to automatic collection. For example, automatic collection of information is typically collected for purposes relating to the functioning of the Sites and/or marketing. It’s fine to err on the side of being over-inclusive, but the reasons here should probably not be identical to the reasons given in the next section. [5] Client to confirm this is accurate. [6] Client to confirm this accurate. [7]
This is purposely meant to be over-inclusive. These are the categories of personal information outlined by the California Consumer Privacy Act. Because an increasing amount of states will be requesting more transparency and specificity in the type of information that is being collected, we have included these categories in the general privacy policy. Please revise this by removing any information that the Company does not collect, and inserting any additional information that the Company does collect. [8] Client to confirm list is accurate, comprehensive. The Company needs to strike a balance here because in some ways it is better to be overbroad, but in others (due to the hasty drafting and resulting ambiguity of the CCPA) it may need to be specific with respect to the purposes of the collection. For example, the CCPA’s purpose limitation clause prohibits collected personal information for purposes not listed in the privacy notice or uses unrelated to those purposes. This would incentivize the Company to be overbroad in this section. On the other hand, the ambiguity between business purposes (more narrowly defined) and commercial purposes (more broadly defined) and how and when businesses may collect information pursuant to one or both is unclear. A conservative approach in this respect would lead the Company to be more specific. Having said all of that, so long as the above list is reasonably tailored, the better approach is to broadly describe the purposes for collecting the information. [9] Client to confirm the Company will have corporate customers that will allow employees and others to use the App and Services. If not, we can remove this Section. [10] Client to confirm this applicable to the Company. [11] Client to revise as necessary. [12] Client to confirm this is correct. The CCPA requires that information provided to service providers is adequately protected and that the disclosing party ensures that this is, in fact, the case. [13] As mentioned in Footnote 13, this is no longer a best practice because it is required by the CCPA. Moreover, though this is only (so far) required by California, this is likely to catch on with other states who are now considering comprehensive privacy laws. [14] Client to revise as necessary.
