Unless otherwise expressly stated, capitalized terms in these Disclosures have the same meaning as defined in the 3 Story Software (“3SS”) globalPrivacy Policy posted at 3storysoftware.com.

 

Scope of Disclosures

This California Privacy Notice (the “CA Disclosures”) supplements the information contained in our 3SS Privacy Policy  and applies solely to individual residents of the State of California ("consumers" or "you"). To the extent of any conflict between these CA Disclosures and the Privacy Policy, the CA Disclosures will control.

These CA Disclosures describe how we collect, use, disclose, and otherwise process personal information of individual residents of the State of California, either online or offline, within the scope of the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA).

 

Personal Information Disclosures

When we use the term “personal information” in these CA Disclosures, we mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household.

For the purposes of these Disclosures, personal information does not include:

• Publicly available information from government records.
• Deidentified, aggregated or anonymized information that is maintained in a form that is not capable of being associated with or linked to you.
• Information excluded from the CCPA's scope, such as:

• Health or medical information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA) or clinical trial data;
• Information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FRCA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) or California Financial Information Privacy Act (FIPA), and the Driver's Privacy Protection Act of 1994.

• Information relating to internal employees of 3SS, which is not governed by this Disclosure.

Any terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used in these CA Disclosures.
