Is Constructor CCPA compliant?
Yes. The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) specifies a number of rules and guidelines pertaining to the processing of personal data. Constructor does not collect data that can be used to identify individuals. Constructor assigns a randomized, anonymous identifier to devices to support its personalization and behavioral learning features.
The CCPA defines a "Unique identifier" as:
"Unique identifier" or "Unique personal identifier" means a persistent identifier that can be used to recognize a consumer, a family, or a device that is linked to a consumer or family, over time and across different services, including, but not limited to, a device identifier; an Internet Protocol address; cookies, beacons, pixel tags, mobile ad identifiers, or similar technology; customer number, unique pseudonym, or user alias; telephone numbers, or other forms of persistent or probabilistic identifiers that can be used to identify a particular consumer or device. For purposes of this subdivision, "family" means a custodial parent or guardian and any minor children over which the parent or guardian has custody. (emphasis added)
Note that Constructor’s identifier is not linked to a consumer "over time and across different services." Further, Constructor removes the last octet of IP addresses to prevent them from being tied to an individual when using them to provide the services to customers (for example, for behavioral tracking).
That said, Constructor understands that under some interpretations, its identifier may be construed as a “unique identifier” and can sign a standard California Service Provider Addendum to commit to service provider obligations under the CCPA.
To ensure compliance with the CCPA, Constructor offers API methods to handle CCPA requests. You can submit a CCPA request via the Tasks API by creating a task of type user_data_request
. This API call will return a task ID, which can then be used to retrieve the task results. The results will include a link to a file containing the user's data.
