This Privacy Notice Addendum for California Residents (the “California Privacy Addendum”) supplements the information contained in Octave’s Privacy Notice and describes our collection and use of Personal Information (as defined below). This California Privacy Addendum applies solely to all visitors, users, and others who reside in the State of California (“Consumers” or “you”). We adopt this notice to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (collectively, the “CPRA”) and any terms defined in the CPRA have the same meaning when used in this notice.
This California Privacy Addendum applies to information that we collect on our Website that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with you or your device (“Personal Information”). However, publicly available information that we collect from government records and deidentified or aggregated information (when deidentified or aggregated as described in the CPRA) are not considered Personal Information and this California Privacy Addendum does not apply to such information.
This California Privacy Addendum does not apply to employment-related Personal Information collected from our California-based employees, job applicants, contractors, or similar individuals (“Personnel”). Please contact your local human resources department if you are part of our California Personnel and would like additional information about how we process your Personal Information.
This California Privacy Addendum also does not apply to Personal Information reflecting a written or verbal business-to-business communication (“B2B Personal Information”). Please see our California Privacy Addendum for B2B Personal Information for information regarding our practices regarding your B2B Personal Information.
This California Privacy Addendum also does not apply to certain Personal Information that is excluded from the scope of the CPRA, like: (a) health or medical information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA) or clinical trial data.
Octave’s Website collects, and over the prior twelve (12) months have collected, the following categories of Personal Information about Consumers:
Octave will not collect additional categories of Personal Information without providing you notice.
We collect Personal Information about you from the sources described in our Privacy Notice.
We only use your Personal Information for the purposes described in our Privacy Notice.
We may use, “sell” for monetary or other valuable consideration, or disclose the Personal Information we collect and, over the prior twelve (12) months, have used, “sold” for monetary or other valuable consideration, or disclosed the Personal Information we have collected, for the purposes described in our Privacy Notice as well as the following additional purposes:
Octave will not use the Personal Information we collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes without providing you notice.
Octave may disclose your Personal Information to third parties for one or more business purposes. When we disclose Personal Information to non-affiliated third-parties for a business purpose, we enter a contract that describes the purpose, requires the recipient to both keep that Personal Information confidential and not use it for any purpose except for the specific business purposes for which the Personal Information was disclosed, and requires the recipient to otherwise comply with the requirements of the CPRA. The CPRA prohibits third parties who purchase the Personal Information we collect from reselling it unless you have received explicit notice and an opportunity to opt-out of further sales.
In the preceding twelve (12) months, Octave has disclosed the following categories of Personal Information for one or more of the business purposes described below to the following categories of third parties:
We disclose your Personal Information to the categories of third parties listed above for the following business purposes:
In addition to the above, we may disclose any or all categories of Personal Information to any third-party (including government entities and/or law enforcement entities) as necessary to:
As noted in our Privacy Notice, we do not sell Personal Information as the term “sell” is commonly understood to require an exchange for money. However, the use of advertising and analytics cookies on our Website is considered a “sale” of Personal Information as the term “sale” is broadly defined in the CPRA to include both monetary and other valuable consideration. Using this broad definition, our “sale” is limited to our use of third-party advertising and analytics cookies and their use in providing behavioral advertising and their use in understanding how people use and interact with our Website(s). Our “sales” of your Personal Information in this matter is subject to your right to opt-out of those sales (see Your Choices Regarding our “Sale” or “Sharing” of your Personal Information).
In the preceding twelve (12) months, Octave has not “shared” Personal Information for the purpose of cross-context behavioral advertising.
We do not have any actual knowledge that we “sell” the Personal Information of minors under the age of 16 for monetary or other valuable consideration and we do not have any actual knowledge that we “share” such Personal Information for cross-context behavioral advertising without affirmative consent as required by the CPRA. More information on how minors under the age of 16 may change their choice regarding the “sale” or “sharing” of their Personal Information can be found in Your Choices Regarding our “Sale” or “Sharing” of Your Personal Information.
The CPRA provides California residents with specific rights regarding their Personal Information. This section describes your CPRA rights and explains how to exercise those rights. You may exercise these rights yourself or through your Authorized Agent. For more information on how you or your Authorized Agent can exercise your rights, please see Exercising Your CPRA Privacy Rights.
To exercise the rights described above, please submit a request (a “Consumer Request”) to us by either:
If you fail to make your Consumer Request in accordance with the ways described above, we may either treat your request as if it had been submitted with our methods described above or provide you with information on how to submit the request or remedy any deficiencies with your request.
Only you, or your Authorized Agent that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a Consumer Request related to your Personal Information. To designate an Authorized Agent, see Authorized Agents below.
All Consumer Requests must:
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm which Personal Information relates to you or the individual for whom you are making the request as their Authorized Agent.
Making a Consumer Request does not require you to create an account with us.
We will only use Personal Information provided in a Consumer Request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
For instructions on exercising sale opt-out rights, see Your Choices Regarding our “Sale” or “Sharing” of Your Personal Information.
You may authorize your agent to exercise your rights under the CPRA on your behalf by registering your agent with the California Secretary of State or by providing them with power of attorney to exercise your rights in accordance with applicable laws (an “Authorized Agent”). We may request that your Authorized Agent submit proof of identity and that they have been authorized exercise your rights on your behalf. We may deny a request from your Authorized Agent to exercise your rights on your behalf if they fail to submit adequate proof of identity or adequate proof that they have the authority to exercise your rights.
If you are 16 years of age or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell your Personal Information for monetary or other valuable consideration at any time (the “right to opt-out”). We do not sell the Personal Information of Consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of age, unless we receive affirmative authorization (the “right to opt-in”) from either the Consumer who is between 13 and 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a Consumer less than 13 years of age. Consumers who opt-in to Personal Information sales may opt-out of future sales at any time.
If you are 16 years of age or older, you have the right to direct us to not share your Personal Information for the purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising, which is showing advertising on other websites or other media based on your browsing history with our Website (the “right to opt-out”). We do not share the Personal Information of Consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of age for this purpose, unless we receive affirmative authorization from either the Consumer who is between 13 and 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a Consumer less than 13 years of age. Consumers who opt-in to our sharing of Personal Information for these purposes may opt-out of future such sharing at any time.
To exercise the right to opt-out of the “sale” of your Personal Information for monetary or other valuable consideration and of “sharing” your Personal Information for the purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising, you (or your authorized representative) may adjust your cookie preferences by completing the following steps:
Alternatively, you may also opt-out by configuring your browser to send us a privacy signal as described in more detail below, by setting your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, if you do not consent to our use of cookies or select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of our Website[s] or other websites. You can find more information about cookies at http://www.allaboutcookies.org and http://youronlinechoices.eu.
Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to reauthorize Personal Information sales. However, you may change your mind and opt back into the sale of Personal Information at any time by:
You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights.
You may also exercise your right to opt-out of the “sale” of your Personal Information for monetary or other valuable consideration and “sharing” your Personal Information for the purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising by setting the privacy control signal on your browser, if your browser supports it. We currently recognize and support the following privacy signals sent by browsers:
When we receive one of these privacy control signals, we will opt you out of any further “sale” or “sharing” of your Personal Information when you interact with our Website[s] through that browser and on that device.
California Civil Code Section 1798.83 (California’s “Shine the Light” law) permits users of our Website[s] that are California residents and who provide Personal Information in obtaining products and services for personal, family, or household use to request certain information regarding our disclosure of Personal Information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. If applicable, this information would include the categories of Personal Information and the names and addresses of those businesses with which we shared your Personal Information with for the immediately prior calendar year (e.g., requests made in 2023 will receive information regarding such activities in 2022). You may request this information once per calendar year. To make such a request, please send an email to support@findoctave.com or write us at:
