CALIFORNIA PRIVACY NOTICE

This California Privacy Notice is effective as of April 19, 2023.

This notice supplements the PGA Privacy Policy and applies only to residents of California (“California Consumer”). This Notice sets forth the disclosures and rights for California Consumers regarding their Personal Information, as required by the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 ("CCPA"), the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 ("CPRA"), and any implementing regulations adopted thereunder. Terms (including defined capitalized terms) used in this California Personnel Privacy Notice have the same meanings given in the CCPA and CPRA and the associated regulations, unless otherwise defined.   

Exercising Your California Rights

California Consumers have the right to request:

1. that we disclose to you what Personal Information we collect, use, disclose, and sell, including the right to request that we provide to you the categories and specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you ("Right to Know");

   1. To exercise your Right to Know, please submit your request at our privacy request form or by calling us at (877) 410-7865.
   2. In order to have us provide specific pieces of information, we may require a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the California Consumer whose Personal Information is the subject of the request. We will not provide you specific pieces of information that include the Personal Information of other persons, nor will we disclose certain pieces of information that the law requires us not to or that we determine is a high security risk, including your social security number, driver’s license number, financial account number, health insurance or medical information number, account passwords, security questions and answers, or unique biometric data, as applicable.

2. that we delete the Personal Information we collect from you ("Right to Delete"); 

   1. To exercise your Right to Know, please submit your request at our privacy request form or by calling us at (877) 410-7865.
   2. Please note that as part of the verification process, once you submit a request to delete, we may follow up and require you to confirm that you want your information deleted.

3. that we correct inaccurate Personal Information we hold about you (“Right to Correct”);

   1. To exercise your Right to Know, please submit your request at our privacy request form or by calling us at (877) 410-7865.

4. to opt-out from the sharing of your Personal Information and Sensitive Personal Information to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising (i.e., targeted advertising) (“Right to Opt-Out of Sharing”);

   1. “Shared” means the disclosure of Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising. PGA of America does not “share” Personal Information for cross-context behavioral advertising. 

5. to opt-out from the sale of your Personal Information (“Right to Opt-Out of Sale”);

   1. Our use of analytics may be considered a sale of Personal Information. To opt-out of analytics, please visit our cookie banner and adjust your preferences;  

6. to limit the use and disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information; 

   1. As disclosed in the chart below, we may collect certain information that is considered Sensitive Personal Information under California law. Under the CPRA Regulations, a business must only provide the Right to Limit The Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information when such use does not fall within the list of exceptions outlined in CPRA § 7027, subsection (m). Our use and disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information falls within this list of exceptions and we therefore do not offer such opt-out right at this time.

We do not sell, or share for cross-context behavioral advertising, Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information. For a description on how social media services and other third-party platforms, plug-ins, integrations or applications handle your information, please refer to their respective privacy policies and terms of use, which may permit you to modify your privacy settings.

Verifying Your Requests

When you exercise your Right to Know, Right to Delete, and/or Right to Correct, we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity based upon the information you provide and the type of request you are making. We may require you to log into your internal personnel account or provide your unique personnel ID. We may also need to ask you to provide us with additional information to verify your identity and fulfill your request. We will only use any such information to verify your identity. If we cannot verify your identity, we will not be able to process the request.

Pursuant to the CPRA, we will not require you to verify your identity, beyond asking for the information necessary to complete your request, when you exercise your Right to Opt-Out of Sharing, Right to Opt-Out of Sale, or Right to Limit the Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information.

Authorized Agents 

You may elect to use an agent to submit a request on your behalf. If you choose to do so, your agent must follow the instructions below to make the request. You may also make a request on behalf of your minor child. When your authorized agent submits a request on your behalf, we will request written permission signed by you and authorizing your agent to make the request on your behalf. The written permission must state your full legal name as the subject of the request, the full legal name of the individual who is acting as your agent and must be clear about the scope of permission granted. Alternatively, your agent may, but is not required to, submit a copy of a power of attorney under Probate Code sections 4000-4465. In either case, your agent should also indicate in their email the nature of the request. Your identity, in addition to your agent’s identity and authorization, will need to be independently verified in order for us to be able to fulfill the request. We may also ask you to directly confirm with us that you provided your agent permission to submit a request. Please keep in mind that if we do not receive adequate proof that your agent is authorized to act on your behalf, we will deny the request.

Personal Information We Collect

The Personal Information we collect about you will depend upon your relationship with us or how you interact with us. Accordingly, we may not collect all of the below information about you.

In addition to the below, we may collect and/or use additional types of information and will do so after providing notice to you and obtaining your consent to the extent such notice and consent is required by the CCPA and CPRA.

Financial Incentive Programs (California Residents Only)

We may offer opportunities to receive certain services or benefits such as discounts or free services which may require the provision of personal information. Such opportunities could be considered a financial incentive under applicable law. When you participate in an Incentive Program, you agree to the terms of that Incentive Program, and may revoke your participation depending on the Incentive Program (e.g., by opting out of emails or terminating a streaming service). To the extent we can determine the value of your information, we consider the value of providing you with a more personalized experience as well as the expenses we incur in providing Incentive Programs that are reasonably related to the costs associated with offering the Incentives.

California Consumers Under the Age of 16

We do not knowingly collect or sell Personal Information of California Consumers younger than 18 years of age.

Right To Non-Discrimination For The Exercise Of Your Privacy Rights

California Consumers have the right to not receive discriminatory treatment for exercising CCPA and CPRA rights. We will not discriminate or retaliate against you for exercising your CCPA and CPRA rights.
