This California Privacy Notice (“Notice”) applies to California residents whose personal information is processed by Acoustic, L.P. and/or its affiliates, subsidiaries and newly acquired companies (collectively, “Acoustic”, “we”, “us”) pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), including how we protect the personal information we process and control relating to you and rights you may have in relation to this personal information. For purposes of this Notice, “personal information” has the meaning provided by the CCPA and does not include information that is publicly available, that is deidentified or aggregated such that it is not capable of being associated with you, or that is excluded from the CCPA’s scope, such as personal information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, such as the HIPAA, the FCRA, GLBA or the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act of 1994. This Notice also does not apply to personal information we collect when we are acting as a “service provider” to process information pursuant to a contract with one of our business customers.

If you have special accessibility needs, please refer to our Accessibility Statement for more information about how you or someone on your behalf can access the content of this Notice.
