This Privacy Notice is provided to all applicants and employees of Think Together (“Company”) pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
Introduction
The CCPA gives California residents certain rights concerning their personal information (“PI”) including the rights to know what PI a business is collecting and for what purpose; to correct inaccurate PI; to delete certain PI (unless the business is required by law to retain it); to opt of the sale or disclosure of their PI to third parties; and to be free from discrimination or retaliation for exercising their rights under the CCPA.
The CCPA also requires certain businesses to provide written notice of the categories of PI being collected and why it is being collected, at the time of collection. Even though Think Together is exempt from the CCPA as a non-profit organization, we are issuing this Privacy Notice in keeping with the spirit of the CCPA.
