When these other laws apply, Personal Data may be exempt from, or outside the scope of, a request to Know, Delete, or Correct. For example, Personal Data subject to certain federal privacy laws, such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), is exempt from CCPA Requests. As a result, we may decline all or part of your Request to the extent that it relates to exempt Personal Data. This means that we may not provide, delete, correct, or opt-out some, or all, of this Personal Data when you make a CCPA Request.
As examples, our processing of, or response to, a CCPA Request may not include some or all of the following Personal Data:
Consumer Accounts. Personal Data related to consumer accounts used for personal, family, or household purposes and applications for such accounts. We have other privacy notices providing certain information on use and sharing of this data, for example, the Wells Fargo U.S. Consumer Privacy Notice, available at www.wellsfargo.com/privacy-security.
The types of Personal Data described above are examples. We have not listed all types of Personal Data that may not be included when we respond to or process CCPA Requests.
In addition to the above examples, we may not include Personal Data when we respond to or process CCPA Requests when the CCPA recognizes another exception. For example, we will not provide the Personal Data about another individual when doing so would adversely affect the data privacy rights of that individual. As another example, we will not delete Personal Data when it is necessary to maintain that Personal Data to comply with a legal obligation.
We will verify and respond to your request consistent with applicable law, taking into account the type and sensitivity of the Personal Data subject to the request.
Qualifications & exceptions
Personal Data subject to GLBA or HIPAA is exempt from CCPA Requests to Know, Delete, or Correct.
Personal Data related to consumer banking accounts is subject to separate notices (e.g. U.S. Consumer Privacy Notice) and may be excluded.
Requests will not delete data required to comply with legal obligations or provide data affecting others' privacy rights.
