"If you are a California resident, you have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months, the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you, and the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information.— Excerpt from Scale AI's Scale AI Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision directly engages the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). The California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) and California Attorney General are the primary enforcement authorities. The CCPA grants specific rights including the right to know, right to delete, right to correct, right to opt out of sale or sharing, and right to limit use of sensitive personal information. Scale AI's disclosure of these rights in the terms creates an expectation of compliance with CCPA procedural requirements including response timelines and verification procedures. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The disclosure of CCPA rights creates a compliance baseline that Scale AI must operationally support. Failure to respond to valid CCPA requests within 45 days, or to maintain accessible opt-out mechanisms, creates enforcement exposure with the CPPA. Scale AI's position as an AI data services company means personal data flows through the platform at scale, making robust CCPA compliance operationally complex. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: CCPA rights apply to California residents only under these terms, though Scale AI may have parallel obligations under GDPR for EU users that are not addressed in this specific provision. Other U.S. states with comprehensive privacy laws (Virginia CDPA, Colorado CPA, Texas TDPSA, Connecticut CTDPA) may create parallel rights obligations not expressly addressed in this terms document. Business users who provide California resident data to Scale AI through the website should assess whether they have CCPA obligations as businesses that share personal information with Scale AI as a service provider. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations that use the Scale AI website in a business capacity and submit personal data may need to assess whether Scale AI qualifies as a service provider or third party under CCPA, which affects whether a data processing addendum is required. The opt-out of sale right is particularly relevant for B2B users who may be concerned about Scale AI using submitted data for model training or sharing with third parties. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: California residents and organizations with California-resident users should confirm the operational accessibility of Scale AI's CCPA request mechanisms, including the designated methods for submitting requests (email at privacy@scale.com is the standard contact). Compliance teams should document their CCPA rights requests and Scale AI's responses for audit purposes. Organizations subject to the CPRA should assess whether Scale AI's data practices with respect to sensitive personal information require the right to limit use.
