Specific Rights for Virginia Residents
The Virginia CDPA Privacy Notice outlines the rights and obligations of individuals who are considered “consumers” under the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act. A “consumer” is defined as a natural person who is a resident of the Commonwealth acting only in an individual or household context, and does not include a natural person acting in a commercial or employment context. “Personal data” is defined as any information that is linked or reasonably linkable to an identified or identifiable natural person, but does not include de-identified data or publicly available information. The “sale of personal data” refers to the exchange of personal data for monetary consideration. If an individual falls under the definition of a “consumer,” certain rights and obligations regarding their personal data must be adhered to. The information collected, used, and disclosed about the individual will vary depending on how they interact with the company and its services. The privacy notice provides links to information about the personal data collected, how it is used, when and with whom it is shared, and the individual’s rights with respect to their personal data. The individual has the right to be informed whether or not their personal data is being processed, to access their personal data, to correct inaccuracies in their personal data, to request deletion of their personal data, to obtain a copy of the personal data previously shared with the company, and to opt out of the processing of their personal data if it is used for targeted advertising, the sale of personal data, or profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects (“profiling”). The company has not sold any personal data to third parties for business or commercial purposes, and will not sell personal data in the future belonging to website visitors, users, and other consumers. The privacy notice provides contact information for individuals to exercise their rights provided under the Virginia CDPA, including submitting a data subject access request. If an authorized agent is used to exercise the individual’s rights, the company may deny a request if the authorized agent does not submit proof that they have been validly authorized to act on the individual’s behalf. The company may request additional information reasonably necessary to verify the individual and their request, and will respond to the request within forty-five (45) days of receipt. The response period may be extended once by forty-five (45) additional days when reasonably necessary, and the individual will be informed of any such extension within the initial 45-day response period, together with the reason for the extension. If the company declines to take action regarding the individual’s request, they will inform the individual of their decision and reasoning behind it. If the individual wishes to appeal the decision, they may email the company. Within sixty (60) days of receipt of an appeal, the company will inform the individual in writing of any action taken or not taken in response to the appeal, including a written explanation of the reasons for the decisions. If the appeal is denied, the individual may contact the Attorney General to submit a complaint.
