California Consumer Protection Act (CCPA) Policy

At Vacation Escapes we take the privacy rights of California consumers seriously. If you are a California resident the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) requires us to provide you with this Privacy Notice. This notice details the information that identifies or may be associated with you (“California Personal Information”) and is effective as of 10/27/2022. This CCPA policy overrides any conflicting provisions of the Privacy Policy.

California Personal Information We Collect

GCCR has collected the following categories of California Personal Information within the last 12 months:

  • Direct Identifiers
    • These are items of data that directly link to an individual. Data includes real name, alias, home address, email address, phone number, bank account or credit card number, state ID card number, passport information, driver’s license details, and image of the subject’s signature.
  • Indirect Identifiers
    • This type of PII refers to the individual’s online presence, which someone could potentially trace back to them. This includes unique identifiers, usernames, account names, IP addresses, and references to any records that hold direct identifiers, such as a ticket number or an invoice number.
  • Biometric Data
    • Biometric information is an emerging class of PII that has expanded in recent years. Items in this category include fingerprints, retina scans, facial recognition data, voice pattern data, handwriting analysis, and typing recognition.
  • Internet Data
    • Website activity logs are PII if those logs contain information that links the records to an individual user. Data may include cookie preferences, browsing history, website analytics, search history, app activity, matches with marketing personas
  • Geolocation Data
    • This geolocation data may include mobile device location history, geolocation data associated with app activity, geotags on files such as photos and videos, images containing identifiable location information, such as pictures of street names
  • Protected Class Data
    • Protected class data is considered PII and may include any data that refers to any personal characteristic that could lead to discrimination. Examples include race, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, disability, age, citizenship status
  • Inferred Data
    • Inferred data is not directly provided by the user but may be inferred based on the above data types. Examples include preferences, characteristics, psychological predispositions, attitudes, intelligence, social and political tendencies, and aptitudes

For each of these categories, we obtain California Personal Information from a variety of sources. These sources include yourself, with respect to both online and offline interactions you may have with us or our service providers; automatically through the devices you use to access our websites, mobile applications, and online services.
