Your Rights Under the CCPA

Right to Opt-Out of Sale of Your Personal Information

Consumers have the right to request that a business that sells the consumer’s personal information, or that discloses it for a business purpose, inform the consumer of what has been collected about them and who it has been sold or disclosed to.  Consumers also have the right, at any time, to direct a business that sells personal information about them not to sell their personal information.

Right to Access / Data Portability

Consumers have the right to request that a business that collects personal information about them disclose the following: (1) The categories of personal information it has collected about that consumer; (2) The categories of sources from which the personal information is collected; (3) The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling personal information; (4) The categories of third parties with whom the business shares personal information; (5) The specific pieces of personal information it has collected about that consumer.  The disclosure shall cover the 12-month period preceding your request.  We are not required to provide your personal information more than twice in a 12-month period.

Right to Deletion

Consumers have the right to request that a business delete any personal information about them.  However, there are exceptions to this rule.  For example, a business does not have to delete information if it is necessary to: a) complete a transaction; b) prevent illegal activity; c) exercise free speech; d) comply with a legal obligation; e) identify or repair errors that impair functionality; or f) otherwise use a consumer’s personal information, internally, that is compatible with the context in which the consumer provided that information. 

Right to Non-Discrimination

A business cannot discriminate against a consumer because the consumer exercised any of the consumer’s rights listed above. 

Exercising Your Right to Access or Right to Deletion

  1. To submit a Request for Access or Request for Deletion as a Consumer or as an Authorized Agent, send an email to privacy@ww.com. You can also call us toll-free at 1-800-651-6000.
  2. Once we receive a request, we will take steps to determine whether your request is a valid Verifiable Consumer Request.  We will ask for information that is reasonable in light of the nature of your request.
  3. When you submit a request for access:
    1. Within 45 days of receipt of your request, we will provide you with a copy of the information listed in “Right to Access / Data Portability,” above, electronically.  To the extent possible, we will provide this information in a portable and useable format.
    2. In the event we need additional time, we will inform you within the initial 45-day period of our need for an additional 45 days (for a maximum of 90 days between request and provision of information). 
  4. When you submit a request for deletion:
    1. If your request does not fall within one of the exceptions to deletion listed in “Right to Deletion,” above, we will confirm deletion within 45 days. If we are not required to delete your account, we also let you know within 45 days. 

Exercising Your Right to Opt-Out

We do not sell your personal information for money.  The definition of “sale” under the CCPA is broad and may include activities that are common practice to many businesses, such as sharing partially de-identified information (hashed email addresses), Internet or network activity (through cookies), and engage in remarketing and retargeting activities.  You may opt out of the sale of your personal information by clicking here.
