What Do We Do with Business Data?
Comlinkdata uses business data in aggregate to perform research about market performance, and model future market performance for the benefit of our clients.
Process Data on Behalf of Our Clients
Our Clients may choose to use our Business Services to process certain data of their own, which may contain personal information. If the data that we process through our Business Services is solely processed by us on behalf of our clients, their privacy policies and/or the contracts we have in place with them will govern how they use the data. If you have any questions or concerns about how such data is handled or would like to exercise your rights, you should contact the person or entity (i.e., the data controller) who has contracted with us to use the Business Service to process this data. Our Clients control the personal information in these cases and determine the security settings within the account, its access controls, and credentials. We will, however, provide assistance to our clients to address any concerns you may have, in accordance with the terms of our contract with them.
Research and Development
We may use personal information to create non-identifiable information that we may use alone or in the aggregate with information obtained from other sources, in order to help us to optimally deliver our Business Services or develop new products. We may perform research via surveys and engage third-party service providers to conduct such surveys on our behalf. All survey responses are voluntary, and the information collected will be used for research and reporting purposes to help us better serve individuals by learning more about their needs and the quality of the products and services we provide. The survey responses may be utilized to determine the effectiveness of our Business Services, various types of communications, advertising campaigns, and/or promotional activities. If an individual participates in a survey, the information given will be used along with that of other study participants. We will use de-identified individual and aggregated data for research and analysis purposes.
De-identified and Aggregated Information Use
We use business data, personal information, and other information about individuals to create de-identified and aggregated information, such as demographic information, location information, information about the computer or device from which individuals access our Business Services or other analyses we create. De-identified and aggregated information is used for a variety of functions. This information is not personal information, and we may use such information in several ways, including research, internal analysis, analytics, and any other legally permissible purposes. We share this information within Comlinkdata and our Clients for our or their purposes in a de-identified or aggregated form.
Other Uses
Comlinkdata will use the information to enforce Comlinkdata’s terms, policies, and legal agreements, to comply with court orders and warrants, and assist law enforcement agencies, to collect debts, prevent fraud, misappropriation, infringements, identity thefts, and any other misuse of the Business Services, and to take any action in any legal dispute and proceeding.

- Customers: We share aggregated information and research about market trends with our Clients.

Your California Privacy Rights
The California Consumer Privacy Act provides residents of California with certain legal rights in respect of their personal information.
The Right to Know: the right to request that a business that collects, sells, and/or discloses for a business purpose personal information about the consumer disclose to the consumer the following: the categories of personal information it has collected, sold, and/or disclosed for a business purpose about that consumer; the categories of sources from which the personal information is collected; the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling personal information; the specific pieces of personal information the business has collected about that consumer; the categories of third parties to whom the personal information was sold.
The Right to Delete: the right to request that a business delete any personal information about the consumer which the business has collected from the consumer.
The Right to Opt-out: the right, at any time, to direct a business that sells personal information about the consumer to third parties not to sell the consumer’s personal information.
The Right to Non-Discrimination: a business shall not discriminate against a consumer because the consumer exercised any of the consumer’s rights under the CCPA.
Your particular jurisdiction may utilize a different definition of Personal Information than the CCPA.
The above legal rights are subject to various conditions and exceptions. We take steps to help ensure that you are able to exercise your rights. However, the pseudo-anonymous nature of our data may mean that it is impractical to satisfy certain requests as it is materially difficult or not possible to associate data with your identity. To make a request in accordance with the California Consumer Privacy Act, please send an email to privacy@3.85.86.208 with “CCPA Privacy” in the subject line. Or use this opt-out form.

- request confirmation of whether we are processing any of your personal data;
- obtain access to or a copy of your personal data;
- receive an electronic copy of personal information that you have provided to us or ask us to send that information to another company (the “right of data portability”);
