California residents have legally enforceable data rights under CCPA that go beyond what users in other US states may have, including the right to know exactly which categories of personal data are collected and shared.
California residents can exercise CCPA rights including data access, deletion, and sale opt-out by emailing privacy@khanacademy.org, and the policy states they will not be discriminated against for doing so.

"If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we collect, use, disclose, and sell; the right to request deletion of your personal information; the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information; and the right to non-discrimination for exercising your CCPA rights. To exercise these rights, please contact us at privacy@khanacademy.org.— Excerpt from Khan Academy's Khan Academy Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision implements California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) obligations, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). Enforcement is primarily by the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) and the California Attorney General. For users under 16, CCPA requires opt-in consent for data sale rather than opt-out. The policy's statement that Khan Academy does not sell personal information should be evaluated against the CCPA's broad definition of sale, which may include certain data sharing arrangements. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. Compliance teams should verify that the data request and response process meets CCPA's 45-day response timeline and that the policy's representation that personal information is not sold is accurate under CCPA's expansive definition of sale, which can include sharing data for cross-context behavioral advertising. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California residents have the most comprehensive US privacy rights under CCPA and CPRA. Other states including Virginia, Colorado, Texas, and Connecticut have enacted similar comprehensive privacy laws with varying rights frameworks. The policy's California-specific rights section may need updating as additional state privacy laws come into force. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Institutions in California procuring Khan Academy should confirm that the service provider relationship under CCPA is properly documented and that Khan Academy's use of California student data is restricted to educational service delivery purposes consistent with CCPA service provider limitations. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Khan Academy should confirm it has implemented a CCPA-compliant data request process with documented response timelines and verification procedures. The non-discrimination commitment should be operationally implemented to ensure that users who exercise CCPA rights do not experience degraded service quality.
