This provision operationalizes California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) statutory rights by establishing the procedural framework through which California residents may exercise data access, deletion, correction, and opt-out mechanisms. The clause establishes the entity's position regarding data sale practices under applicable state law.
California residents can formally request deletion or access to personal data held by Cloudflare, and Cloudflare cannot discriminate against you for exercising these rights — making this one of the most actionable provisions in the policy for US consumers.
