This Privacy Notice for California Residents (“CA Notice”) supplements the Clever Privacy Policy as well as any other agreement you may have with us. Any terms we use in this CA Notice that aren’t defined will have the meaning we provide in the Privacy Policy or other agreements.
California law requires us to disclose certain information regarding the categories of personal information we collect. For purposes of this CA Notice, “personal information” has the meaning provided by the California Consumer Privacy Act (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 us, 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 CA Notice does not apply to information relating to our employees, contractors, or other personnel.
A note about Student Data. Clever provides the Services to Schools as a “School Official” under FERPA. That means that we collect, retain, use and disclose Student Data only for or on behalf of a School customer for the purposes of providing the Services specified in our agreement with the School, and for no other commercial purpose. Under the CCPA, we collect, retain, use and disclose Student Data as a service provider to our School customers and this CA Notice does not describe our practices with regard to Student Data or any other personal information we process as a service provider. If you have a question or would like to exercise your California consumer rights to knowledge, access or deletion, please contact your School directly.
