Frequently Asked Questions about CCPA

What is the CCPA? California Consumer Privacy Act is a new law that gives California consumers four specific new rights:

  • the right to know what personal information is being collected about them, how it is being used, shared, or sold
  • the right to delete personal information collected from them
  • the right to opt-out of the sale of their personal information
  • the right to do business with you with no penalty, even if they opt-out of sharing their information

You can read a fact sheet on this new regulation here. However, to understand it better, there are a variety of articles summarizing the requirements that have been written by experts. Performing a Google search for "CCPA Compliance" will provide several good summaries.

Am I subject to CCPA requirements? The CCPA was designed to target medium and large businesses, but there are circumstances where you might be subject to them. Industry trade groups are publishing helpful guides and conducting webinars that we highly encourage you to attend. The fact sheet (found here) provides more details about who CCPA applies to.

Can you help me become CCPA compliant? Your website is just one component of your CCPA compliance. CCPA compliance may require changes by your company that go far beyond your website or booking engine. These may include new company policies, specialized training, and new ways of working. This is not something that Passport Online can advise your business on.


If A Customer Submits a Personal Data Request

If you are subject to CCPA requirements, a California consumer may request either of the following:

  • The right to delete their personal information.
  • The right to know what personal information you have of theirs.

Please send an email to support@passportonlineinc.com in either case to process the request for the information collected through NexCite. Include the verified requesting customer's first and last name, email address, and type of request (right to delete or right to know) in your email.

What Passport Online will do: Passport Online will only process the information request for data that was collected specifically through the NexCite tools that are integral to the product.

What Passport Online will not do: Passport Online will not be able to assist with any information gathered through your website beyond the NexCite tools that are integral or information obtained otherwise. Passport Online will also not contact third-party or downstream vendors/suppliers, etc. in an attempt to process the information request.
