CCPA Rights and Choices

The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding Personal Information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

CCPA Right to Know and Data Portability

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of Personal Information about you over the past 12 months (the "right to know"). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see Exercising Your California Privacy Rights below), we will disclose to you:

  • The categories of Personal Information we collected about you.
  • The categories of sources for the Personal Information we collected about you.
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling or sharing that Personal Information.
  • The categories of third parties with whom we disclose that Personal Information.
  • If we sold, shared or disclosed Personal Information about you for a business purpose, two separate lists:
    • Where Personal Information has been sold or shared, identifying the Personal Information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and
    • Where Personal Information has been disclosed for a business purpose, identifying the Personal Information categories that each category of recipient obtained.
  • The specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).

California Privacy Right to Delete

You have the right to request that we delete any Personal Information about you that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions (the "right to delete"). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see Exercising Your California Privacy Rights below), we will review your request to see if an exception allowing us to retain the information applies.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

  • Complete the transaction for which we collected the Personal Information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
  • Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
  • Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
  • Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another Consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
  • Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.).
  • Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information's deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research's achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
  • Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with Consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
  • Comply with a legal obligation.
  • Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

We will delete or deidentify Personal Information not subject to one of these exceptions from our records and will direct our service providers to take similar action.

California Privacy Right to Correct

You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate Personal Information that we hold about you, taking into account the nature of the Personal Information and the purposes of the processing. Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see Exercising Your California Privacy Rights below), we will review your request and correct in accordance with applicable laws.

Exercising Your California Privacy Rights

To exercise your California privacy rights, please submit a request by either:

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request related to Personal Information. To designate an authorized agent please contact [email protected]. You may also make a request to know or delete on behalf of your child by contacting [email protected]. The Personal Information Request link above is operated on Veracode’s behalf by LogicGate, Inc. (“LogicGate”), a third party vendor who provides services to help Veracode manage Personal Information requests. The information you provide via the Personal Information Request link will be treated by LogicGate as confidential and will only be used to fulfill your request.

You may only submit a request to know twice within a 12-month period. Your request to know or delete must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative, which may include the applicable e-mail address, username, and account name.
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

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 the Personal Information relates to you.

You do not need to create an account with us to submit a request to know or delete. However, we do consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to Personal Information associated with that specific account. We will only use Personal Information provided in the request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make it.

For instructions on exercising your sale/share opt-out or opt-in rights, see California Personal Information Sales/Shares Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights below.

Response Timing and Format

We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) business days. If you do not receive confirmation within the 10-day timeframe, please contact [email protected]. We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable Consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide the Personal Information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance, specifically XML or Word. We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

California Personal Information Sales/Shares Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights

If you are age 16 or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell/share Personal Information about you at any time (the "right to opt-out"). We do not sell/share Personal Information about California residents we actually know are less than 16 years old, unless we receive affirmative authorization (the "right to opt-in") from either the Consumer who is between 13 and 15 years old, or the parent or guardian of a Consumer less than 13 years old. Consumers who opt-in to Personal Information sales/shares may opt-out of future sales/shares at any time.

To exercise the right to opt-out, please click the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in the footer of our website, and submit a request via [email protected]. Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to reauthorize personal information sales/shares. However, you may change your mind and opt back in to personal information sales/shares at any time by clicking the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in the footer of our website and adjusting your settings.

All Veracode workforce members whose responsibilities include the Processing of EU/EEA/Swiss/UK Personal Data are required to adhere to this Privacy Statement and any implementing policies. Failure to do so is deemed a serious offence, for which disciplinary action may be taken, potentially resulting in termination of employment. Equally, the misuse of Personal Data by an individual or organization acting as a Sub-contractor, or service provider to Veracode is deemed a serious issue for which action may be taken, potentially resulting in the termination of any agreement. Veracode will assist individuals in the EU/EEA, Switzerland, and UK in protecting their privacy and will provide them opportunities to raise concerns about the Processing of Personal Data that relates to them.

EU/EEA/Swiss/UK Personal Data Access

Individuals in the EU/EEA, Switzerland, and UK have the right to make Personal Data access requests. If an individual makes such a request, Veracode will provide the information requested which may contain some or all of the following information, along with other information as required by applicable law:

  • Whether or not his/her Personal Data about them is Processed and if so why, the categories of Personal Data Processed and the source of the data if it is not collected from the individual consistent with applicable law, Veracode’s obligations to its customer’s and;
