Your California Privacy Rights

For purposes of the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA), this website is not consumer-directed and is intended only to provide commercial information to our business partners, prospective business partners, and job applicants. In certain circumstances (subject to various exceptions and limitations under the CCPA), if you are a California resident, you can make the following requests with respect to your personal information:

  • Access – You can request that we disclose to you the categories of personal information we collected about you, the categories of sources from which we collected the personal information, the categories of personal information we sold or disclosed, our business or commercial purpose for collecting and selling your personal information, the categories of third parties with whom we shared your personal information, and the specific pieces of personal information we collected about you over the past 12 months.
  • Deletion – You can request that we delete the personal information that we maintain about you, subject to certain exceptions.
  • Opt-out / “Do Not Sell My Info” – You can request that we not sell your personal information to a third party. For purposes of this privacy policy, “sell” means the sale, rental, release, disclosure, dissemination, availability, transfer, or other oral, written, or electronic communication of your personal information to a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration, subject to certain exceptions in the CCPA. We do not currently consider the ways we shared the personal information collected through this website in the past 12 months to constitute the “sale” of consumer information as defined in the CCPA.

A California resident can make a request by emailing us at legal@dickclark.com. We will not discriminate against you because you made a request. We may deny certain requests, or fulfill a request only in part, based on our legal rights and obligations. For example, we may retain personal information as permitted by law, such as for tax or other record-keeping purposes and to process transactions and facilitate customer requests. Note that for purposes of these rights under this Privacy Policy, personal information does not include information about job applicants, employees and other of our personnel; information about employees and other representatives of third-party entities we may interact with; or information we have collected as a service provider to our clients.

We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity prior to responding to your requests. The verification steps may vary depending on the sensitivity of the personal information. You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. When submitting the request, please ensure the authorized agent is identified as an authorized agent.

If you reside in California, you have the right to ask us one time each year if we have shared personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make a request, please send us an email, or write to us at the address listed below. Indicate in your letter that you are a California resident making a “Shine the Light” inquiry.
