| 431 | Shine the Light requests California’s “Shine the Light” law (California Civil Code § 1798.83) allows California residents with whom a business has an established business relationship to request a list of “third parties” to whom we have disclosed certain “personal information” in the preceding calendar year where the business knows or reasonably should know that the third parties used the personal information for their own “direct marketing purposes” (as each of those terms is defined under such California law). | ||
| 432 | Direct marketing purposes means “the use of personal information to solicit or induce a purchase, rental, lease, or exchange of products, goods, property, or services directly to individuals by means of the mail, telephone, or electronic mail for their personal, family, or household purposes.” However, a business like Squarespace is not required to provide this information where it adopts and discloses, in its privacy policy, a policy of not disclosing “personal information” to third parties for their “direct marketing purposes”: (i) unless the resident first affirmatively agrees; or (ii) if the resident has exercised an option that prevents that information from being disclosed. | ||
| 433 | Squarespace maintains such a policy and provides California residents with a cost-free means to exercise that option, and thus is not required to provide this information. | ||
