This provision provides California-specific rights for business contacts, reflecting the CPRA's extension of certain rights to B2B personal information, and establishes a manual email-based process for exercising those rights.
Interpretive note: The scope and enforceability of CPRA rights for B2B personal information continues to develop through regulatory guidance and enforcement, and the specific verification and response requirements applicable to this process may require evaluation against current CPPA rules.

"If you are a California resident and you've interacted with us on behalf of your Network Participant/company/business (e.g., in a B2B commercial transaction, you've expressed interest in our products/services for your financial institution, you've expressed interest in becoming a service provider of EWS), the following data privacy rights are available to you— Excerpt from Zelle's Zelle Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision reflects the CPRA's extension of consumer privacy rights to certain B2B personal information, a significant development from the original CCPA which largely exempted B2B data. The California Privacy Protection Agency oversees enforcement. The document's carve-out of these rights to California residents only, rather than all B2B contacts, reflects current legal requirements but leaves non-California business contacts without equivalent rights under this notice. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The email-based request process must comply with CPRA's requirements for identity verification and response timelines. The notice does not specify response timelines or verification procedures in the visible text, which may create compliance exposure if the operational process does not meet statutory deadlines. The requirement that requesters include their California address, business relationship, and specific request creates a multi-step verification process that should be evaluated for proportionality under CPRA's verification standards. JURISDICTION FLAGS: This provision is explicitly limited to California residents. Business contacts in other states with comprehensive privacy laws, including Colorado, Connecticut, and Virginia, may have analogous rights under those states' frameworks that are not addressed in this notice. Legal teams in those jurisdictions should evaluate whether additional B2B rights disclosures are required. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Network financial institution participation agreements should reference the data privacy rights available to California resident employees who interact with Zelle in a B2B capacity, and should address how deletion requests affecting operational data are handled without disrupting network participation records. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: The email-based request process should be tested against CPRA's 45-day response deadline and verification requirements. Legal teams should document the verification procedure used for B2B requests and confirm that commercially reasonable correction and deletion processes are in place as stated in the notice.
