CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS: Your California Privacy Rights

Under California Civil Code Section 1798.83 (known as the "shine the light" law), California residents have a right to request an information-sharing disclosure from a business to which they have provided Personal Information, and which has disclosed the information to any third party for third-party direct marketing uses in the prior calendar year.

ASH does not knowingly share your Personal Information with third parties for their direct marketing use without your permission. California residents may send requests for information-sharing disclosure under this law by contacting us by mail at the address located in the contact section below. Please note that, under this law, we are not required to respond to your request more than once in a calendar year, nor are we required to respond to any requests that are not sent to the above-designated email address.

The California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) amends the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) effective January 1, 2023. The CCPA provides California residents with specific rights related to the collection, use, and disclosure of their Personal Information by us. This section discusses specific rights and elements applicable to persons who are California residents at the time we collected, used, or disclosed their Personal Information.

The CCPA and the details noted here do not apply to situations where your Personal Information is collected, used, or disclosed by us:

  • Where in our capacity as a business associate of a covered entity, we collect or maintain your Personal Information in the same manner as Protected Health Information (PHI) in compliance with privacy, security, and breach notification rules issued by the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Parts 160 and 164 of Title 45 of the Code of Federal Regulations, established pursuant to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 (Public Law 104-191) and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act (Public Law 111-5). This may apply when your access to our program is made available to you as part of a health benefit plan operated by a plan sponsor who is a covered entity under the laws noted immediately above.

  • Where your access to our program is made available to you through a sponsoring organization as part of the organizations’ policies or products subject to the federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (Public Law 106-102), and implementing regulations, or the California Financial Information Privacy Act (Division 1.4 (commencing with Section 4050) of the Financial Code).

Additionally, should we receive CCPA-related requests that are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character, we reserve the ability to either charge a reasonable fee for taking the action requested or refuse to act on the request. If we refuse your request on this basis, we will notify you of the reason why.

Furthermore, information collected, used, or shared through the Careers function of the ASHCompanies.com Website or our Human Resources program is not currently subject to the CCPA rights noted below.

If none of the above situations apply to you and you are a California resident, you may exercise your rights under the CCPA as described below:
