Is Spokeo, Inc. covered by California DROP?

Possible partial exemptions. This broker told the registry that it, or a subsidiary, is regulated by: GLBA. Information covered by those laws may be exempt from deletion, so a DROP request may result in a partial deletion or an “Exempted” status (see privacy.ca.gov). This is our reading of the broker's own answers, not a legal determination.

Additional comments from the broker

The information sold by Spokeo consists of "publicly available information" as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which is excluded from the definition of "personal information" and subject to First Amendment protections for free speech, and information subject to the GLBA to which the CCPA does not apply. Nevertheless, Spokeo elects to be included in this registry to inform CA residents about the nature of the publicly available information that Spokeo provides on its public websites and how to opt-out. The categories of publicly available information that are available on Spokeo’s websites are described in Spokeo's Privacy Policy located at https://www.spokeo.com/privacy-policy and in the "Where does Spokeo's profile data come from?" section on this webpage: https://www.spokeo.com/privacy/control/all-categories. Spokeo enables all consumers, including CA residents, to opt out from having their publicly available information available on Spokeo's public websites. Consumers may complete their opt out request online by using our self-help tool located at https://www.spokeo.com/optout. As of the writing of this registration, an opt out completed from this page will opt a consumer out from all public Spokeo websites except Thatsthem.com. To opt out from having their publicly available information available on Thatsthem.com, consumers may submit their opt out request at https://www.thatsthem.com/optout. Consumers may also submit their opt-out request by contacting Spokeo Customer Care via any of the contact methods listed at https://www.spokeo.com/contact (which includes a nationwide toll free number). Spokeo's Customer Care agents will gladly assist consumers with completing an opt out request for all of Spokeo's public websites.
