Your California Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, you have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months (the “right to know”). Once we receive and confirm your identity by matching identifying information provided by you to the personal information already maintained within our systems as well as the verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:
- The categories of personal information we collected about you.
- The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.

California residents also have the right to request that we delete any of your personal data that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions (the “right to delete”). Once we receive and confirm your identity by matching identifying information provided by you to the personal information already maintained within our systems as well as the verifiable consumer request, we will review your request to see if an exception allowing us to retain the information applies. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:
- Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal data, provide a service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
- Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.

- Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
- Comply with applicable law.
- Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
- Comply with a legal obligation.
- Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.
Pursuant to applicable law, we will delete, or we may deidentify, personal data not subject to one of these exceptions from our records and will direct our service providers to take similar action.
To exercise your rights in this section, please email your request to privacy@fsafederal.com or submit a request online.
California residents are also entitled once a year, free of charge, to request and obtain certain information regarding our disclosure, if any, of certain categories of personal data to third parties for their direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year. We do not share personal data with third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
Do-Not-Track Signals and Similar Mechanisms. Some web browsers may transmit “do-not-track” signals to the websites and other online services with which a user communicates. There is no industry standard that governs what, if anything, websites should do when they receive these signals. FSA Federal currently does not take action in response to these signals.
No Discrimination. FSA will not discriminate against any consumer for exercising their rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).
