Privacy Statement for Residents of Specified States

This Privacy Statement for Residents of Specified States (“Privacy Statement” or “Statement”) supplements the information contained in the ZoomInfo Privacy Policy. ZoomInfo has adopted this statement to comply with the state privacy laws adopted in numerous states, including the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended (the “CCPA”) and other California privacy laws, the Colorado Privacy Act (“CPA”), the Connecticut Personal Data Privacy and Online Monitoring Act (“CTDPA”), the Utah Consumer Privacy Act (“UCPA”), and the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (“VCDPA”) (each individually a “State Privacy Law” and collectively, “State Privacy Laws”). This Statement applies solely to “consumers” as that term is defined in each respective State Privacy Law. When used in this Privacy Statement or in the Privacy Policy, any terms defined in such State Privacy Laws have the meaning given to them by those laws with respect to such state’s consumers. 

Limited Applicability of Certain State Laws

With the exception of the CCPA in California, many state privacy laws, including the CPA, CTDPA, UCPA, VCDPA, and similar legislation, do not apply to individuals where they are acting in a commercial or employment context. As a result, these laws may have limited applicability to ZoomInfo’s activities with respect to residents of the states where these laws are in effect. Where we refer to “Personal Information” throughout this Privacy Statement, we mean “Personal Data” or “Personal Information” as such terms are defined in the applicable State Privacy Law. This includes information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with you or your household and that is not deidentified, aggregated, or publicly available information, but only to the extent the Personal Information is not deemed excluded from the laws’ scope because of the Personal Information’s commercial or employment context or other applicable exclusions under the applicable State Privacy law. 

To the extent that the rights afforded under the CPA, CTDPA, UCPA, VCDPA, and similar legislation may apply to the Site, they are indicated throughout this Privacy Statement by way of an → Other State Laws heading.

A Consumer’s Additional State Law Rights and Choices

State Privacy Laws provide consumers with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes a consumer’s rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights

A consumer has the right to request that we disclose certain information to that consumer about ZoomInfo’s collection and use of that consumer’s personal information over the past twelve (12) months. Once we receive and confirm a consumer’s verifiable consumer request, we will disclose:

  • The categories of personal information we collected about that consumer.
  • The categories of sources from which the personal information was collected.
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, or sharing that personal information.
  • The categories of third parties to whom we disclose that personal information.
  • The specific pieces of personal information we collected about that consumer (also called a data portability request).

→ Other State Laws Subject to certain limitations, residents of Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and Virginia may have a right to confirm whether ZoomInfo is processing their Personal Information and to access their Personal Information.  In less common situations, some residents may also have a right to obtain their Personal Information in a portable and, to the extent technically feasible, readily usable format. If you believe these rights apply to you, follow the instructions below to contact us.  

Correction Request Rights

A consumer has the right to request that we correct personal information that we maintain about the consumer if it is inaccurate, taking into account the nature of the personal information and the purposes for which it is processed. Once we receive and confirm a consumer’s verifiable consumer request, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the inaccurate personal information. We may require documentation if necessary to confirm the accuracy of the requested correction. We may deny the request if: 

  1. We determine, based on the totality of the circumstances, that the contested personal information is more likely than not accurate as maintained.
  2. We determine that the requested correction would be impossible or would involve disproportionate effort.
  3. The requested correction is in conflict with federal or state law.
  4. We denied the same request to correct within the past six months and the consumer has not provided additional documentation in support of the request.
  5. We have a good-faith, reasonable, and documented belief that the request to correct is fraudulent or abusive.

In any case, we will inform you of the action we take and, where the request has been denied, the reasons for the denial. Subject to the exceptions given below, a consumer whose request to correct has been denied may be able to exercise a right to delete the contested data. 

→ Other State Laws Subject to certain limitations, residents of Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and Virginia may have a right to request that we correct inaccurate Personal Information held about them.  If you believe this right applies to you, follow the instructions below to contact us.  

Deletion Request Rights

A consumer has the right to request that ZoomInfo delete any of his or her personal information that we have collected and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm a consumer’s verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers and/or customers to delete) that consumer’s personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.

We may deny a consumer’s deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers or customers to:

  1. Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, fulfill the terms of a product warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, provide a good or service that a consumer requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with that consumer, or otherwise perform our contract with that consumer.
  2. Help to ensure security and integrity to the extent the use of the consumer’s personal information is reasonably necessary and proportionate for those purposes.
  3. Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
  4. Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
  5. Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 seq.).
  6. Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research that conforms or adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the ability to complete such research, if a consumer provided informed consent.
  7. Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on a consumer’s relationship with us and compatible with the context in which the consumer provided the information.
  8. Comply with a legal obligation.

→ Other State Laws Subject to certain limitations, residents of Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and Virginia may have a right to request that we delete Personal Information concerning them.  If you believe this right applies to you, follow the instructions below to contact us.  

Exercising Access, Correction, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

To exercise the access, correction, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:

Only a consumer, or a natural person or business entity that a consumer authorizes to act on a consumer’s behalf (an “Authorized Agent”), may make a verifiable consumer request related to a consumer’s personal information. A consumer may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of that consumer’s minor child.

A consumer or the consumer’s Authorized Agent may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows ZoomInfo to reasonably verify a consumer is the person about whom we collected personal information.
  • If an Authorized Agent is being used, provide sufficient proof that the consumer has provided the Authorized Agent with permission to submit the request on the consumer’s behalf, such as signed permission or a power of attorney executed pursuant to California Probate Code Sections 4121 to 4130.
  • Describe a consumer’s request with sufficient detail that allows ZoomInfo to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to a consumer’s or an Authorized Agent’s request or provide a consumer or Authorized Agent with personal information if we cannot verify the consumer’s or Authorized Agent’s identity and/or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to that consumer. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require a consumer to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided to us in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform the consumer of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt unless another applicable period applies. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will choose a format to provide a consumer’s personal information that is readily useable and should allow a consumer to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to a consumer’s verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell the consumer why we made that decision and provide the consumer with a cost estimate before completing that consumer’s request.

Appeals

→ Other State Laws Residents of Colorado, Connecticut, and Virginia may have the right to appeal an adverse decision made in response to their exercise of a consumer data rights request. If you believe this right applies to you and you have received an adverse decision regarding your exercise of a consumer data rights request, you may email us at privacy.appeals@zoominfo.com to initiate an appeal.  

Non-Discrimination

Consumers have the right to not receive discriminatory treatment by a business for exercising their rights under the CCPA. We will not discriminate against a consumer for exercising any CCPA rights.

Deidentified Data

To the extent ZoomInfo may collect or process deidentified data, we will maintain and use the information in deidentified form and will not attempt to reidentify the information, except for the purpose of determining whether our deidentification processes satisfy applicable requirements. 

Data Retention

For all categories of personal information we collect, we will retain personal information for a period of time consistent with and not longer than is reasonably necessary for the original purpose(s) for which we collected it, as described in this Privacy Policy, including, as applicable, (i) for as long as we have an ongoing relationship with the individual to whom the information pertains; (ii) as long as needed to provide users, our customers, or our partners the Services; (iii) as necessary to comply with our legal obligation(s); (iv) as necessary to resolve disputes or to protect ourselves from potential future disputes; or (v) as necessary to enforce our agreements. Retention periods will be determined taking into account the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information and the purpose(s) for which it was collected. After the retention period ends, we will delete the personal information. Where we are unable to do so, we will ensure that appropriate measures are put in place to prevent any further use of such information. We will retain biometric data only so long as we have the consumer’s consent, as specified in our Biometric Privacy Notice. 

Changes to Our Privacy Statement

We reserve the right to amend this privacy statement at our discretion and at any time. When we make material changes to this privacy statement, we will provide notification by email or through a notice on our website homepage.
