Notice to US Residents: If you are a US resident, depending on where you live, you may have certain rights with respect to your personal information or personal data, which include the right not to be discriminated against (as provided for under applicable law) for exercising your rights. For example, under applicable laws and regulations, subject to exceptions, you may have the right to: request to know about and obtain access to the personal information we have collected about you; request that we delete the personal information we have collected about you, subject to applicable legal exceptions; request a list of the specific third parties to which we have disclosed personal data (as such terms are defined under applicable laws and regulations); request to update or correct your personal information; request to opt out of targeted advertising and/or the sale or sharing of your personal information (as defined under applicable laws and regulations); request that we restrict our use of your personal information

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision directly engages CCPA and CPRA (enforced by the California Privacy Protection Agency and the California Attorney General), as well as privacy laws in Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, and other states with comprehensive privacy statutes. The right to receive a list of specific third parties to whom personal data has been disclosed reflects a CCPA-specific requirement. The non-discrimination right referenced aligns with CCPA's prohibition on retaliation for exercising privacy rights. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The policy's conditioning of rights availability on 'where you live' and 'subject to exceptions' introduces variability in rights fulfillment that requires operationally robust mechanisms to identify user residency and apply the correct legal standard for each request type. The requirement to provide a list of specific third parties to whom personal data was disclosed is operationally demanding given the breadth of the Disney partner ecosystem. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California residents hold the broadest and most specifically articulated rights under CPRA, including the right to correct inaccurate personal information and the right to limit use of sensitive personal information. Texas, Colorado, Virginia, and Connecticut residents have similar but not identical rights. Users in states without comprehensive privacy laws may have limited or no statutory rights beyond what the policy voluntarily provides. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Third-party recipients of personal data from Disney and Hulu should be prepared to support downstream data deletion and access requests that may require them to honor deletion or return data upon request. Vendor contracts should include provisions addressing response to data subject rights requests. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should verify that the Data Subject Rights Portal and associated workflows are capable of processing and responding to access, deletion, correction, and opt-out requests within the timeframes required by applicable state laws. The list-of-third-parties requirement under CCPA should be operationally implemented and maintained as a current disclosure. Response procedures should account for the volume of requests across all Disney brands operating under this shared policy.
