As of October 9, 2026, the CCPA generally applies to qualifying for-profit businesses doing business in California that determine the purposes and means of processing personal information and satisfy one or more applicable thresholds, including:
- Gross annual revenue of at least $26,625,000 for the preceding calendar year;
- Buying, selling, or sharing the personal information of 100,000 or more California consumers or households; or
- Deriving 50% or more of annual revenue from selling or sharing California consumers’ personal information.

Know and Access
Request information concerning categories and specific pieces of qualifying personal information.

Opt Out of Sale or Sharing
Direct a covered business not to sell or share qualifying personal information.
Limit Sensitive Personal Information
Limit qualifying uses and disclosures of sensitive personal information where the statutory right applies.
Non-Discrimination
Receive no unlawful discriminatory treatment for exercising applicable privacy rights.
16. Sale and Sharing of Personal Information
Under California law, “sale” and “sharing” have specialized meanings.
Depending on the circumstances:
- Providing personal information to an independent third party for monetary or other valuable consideration may constitute a sale; and
- Disclosure for qualifying cross-context behavioral advertising may constitute sharing.
Certain disclosures are excluded, including qualifying service-provider, contractor, consumer-directed, and business-transfer disclosures.
Where the CCPA applies and we engage in qualifying sale or sharing, we will provide legally required opt-out methods.
17. Global Privacy Control
Where the CCPA applies, a valid opt-out preference signal such as Global Privacy Control will be processed as required by California law.

Opt-out requests will be processed within the time required by applicable regulations.

California generally prohibits intentionally recording a confidential communication without the consent of all parties, subject to statutory exceptions.
Accordingly, if a confidential acquisition or property-related call is recorded, operational procedures should:
