Quizell’s Privacy Policy & Practice – CalOPPA and CCPA (CPRA)

CalOPPA - California Online Privacy Protection Act

CalOPPA is a California state law that functions as one of the primary data privacy laws in the United States. The law came into effect in July 2004, and is applicable to the operators of commercial websites or online services that collect personally identifiable information about consumers residing in California. Following a 2012 agreement between the California Attorney General and mobile app providers, CalOPPA also applies to mobile apps.

NOTE: The is wide overlap between CalOPPA and the CCPA, and the majority of requirements of CCPA are applicable to those of CalOPPA.

What kind of information does CalOPPA apply to?

Under CalOPPA, "Personally Identifiable Information" includes but is not limited to:

  • First and last names
  • Home or physical street addresses
  • E-mail address
  • Telephone number
  • Social Security number
  • Any other information that permits a specific individual to be contacted physically or online

Does CalOPPA apply to the information collected by Quizell?

As Quizell conducts business on a global scale, it is possible that Quizell’s service is provided to companies who interact with consumers residing in California. Any personal information entered into one of our Quizzes by an individual residing in California is collected in a data pool by Quizell for our client’s recovery purposes and falls under CalOPPA.

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and The California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA)

The CCPA is a California state law which passed in 2018 and came into effect in 2020. Similarly, to CalOPPA, the CCPA applies to businesses that impact individuals in California. In January 2023, the CPRA came into force, introducing a number of amendments to the CCPA. The updated CPPA stipulates restrictions on the utilization of personal data, emphasizing that the collection, retention, and usage should be confined to what is essential for providing goods or services.

What businesses does the CCPA apply to?

Under the CPPA (CPRA), a "business" is any legal entity which:

  • Pursues a profit;
  • Operates in California;
  • Determines the purposes and means of the processing of consumers' personal information;
  • Complies with one or more of the following:
    • Has an annual gross revenue of more than $25 million;
    • Annually buys, sells, receives or shares personal information from at least 100,000 devices, consumers or households;
    • Makes at least 50 percent of its annual revenue by selling or sharing consumers' personal information.
  • Geolocation data, such as the location of your device or computer;
  • Inference data, such as information about your purchase preferences

Does the CCPA apply to the information collected by Quizell?

Quizell does not fall under the definition of “business” as it is defined in the CCPA (see above). However, as Quizell conducts business on a global scale, it is possible that Quizell’s service is provided to companies who do fall under the CCPA’s definition, and many of the clients using Quizell’s services may impact people in California. Any personal information entered into one of our Quizzes through such companies is collected in a data pool by Quizell for our client’s recovery purposes. For this reason, it is important for us to keep our Privacy and Data Protection Policies to the highest standards.
