"Information for California Residents— Excerpt from EA's EA Privacy and Cookie Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages CCPA as amended by CPRA, enforced by the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) and California Attorney General. Key rights include the right to know, right to delete, right to correct, right to opt out of sale or sharing, right to limit use of sensitive personal information, and right of no retaliation. The policy's children's data provisions additionally engage California's Age-Appropriate Design Code Act (AADC), which imposes additional obligations for services accessed by minors. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High for California operations. CPRA expands on CCPA by adding a right to correct, heightened protections for sensitive personal information, and audit requirements for high-risk data processing. EA's advertising data sharing practices described in Section 4 constitute 'sharing' under CPRA, triggering opt-out obligations and potentially Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal compliance requirements. JURISDICTION FLAGS: This provision applies exclusively to California residents. However, other state privacy laws (Virginia CDPA, Colorado CPA, Texas TDPSA, and others) have similar rights frameworks and EA may need parallel compliance mechanisms. The policy's California section should be reviewed against CPRA's specific disclosure requirements including categories of sensitive personal information collected and retention period disclosures. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Service providers processing California resident data on EA's behalf must have CCPA/CPRA compliant data processing agreements that prohibit them from selling or sharing that data independently. The policy's statement that service providers process data 'only on our behalf and for purposes consistent with this policy' aligns with CPRA's service provider definition but must be contractually documented. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should verify that EA's California privacy rights request mechanism honors all CPRA rights including the right to correct, that Global Privacy Control signals are recognized for opt-out of sharing, that the categories of sensitive personal information collected are disclosed in the California-specific section, and that retention periods for each category of personal information are disclosed as required by CPRA regulations.
