What it is

If you live in California, you have legal rights to see what data Cloudflare has collected about you, ask them to delete it, correct it, or opt out of your data being shared — and you can exercise these rights by contacting Cloudflare directly.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

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.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

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.

California law requires us to disclose certain information about how we collect, use, and disclose personal information of California residents. California residents have the right to: request that we disclose the categories of personal information we have collected about you; request that we disclose the categories of sources from which we collect personal information; request deletion of personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions; request that we correct inaccurate personal information we maintain about you; and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell personal information as most people would understand that term.
