Under the CCPA, California residents have the right to:

  • Request that a business that collects personal information about the consumer disclose to the consumer, free of charge, the following:
    • The categories of personal information including sensitive personal information, that it has collected about that consumer.
    • The categories of sources from which the personal information, including sensitive personal information, is collected.
    • The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling the personal information or sensitive personal information.
    • The categories of third parties with whom the business shares personal information or sensitive personal information.
    • The specific pieces of personal information and sensitive personal information it has collected about that consumer.
  • Request that a business that sells or shares the consumer’s personal information, including sensitive personal information, or that discloses it for a business purpose disclose, free of charge, to the consumer:
    • The categories of personal information and sensitive personal information that the business collected about the consumer.
    • The categories of personal information or sensitive personal information that the business sold about the consumer and the categories of third parties to whom the personal information or sensitive personal information was sold, by category or categories of personal information or sensitive personal information for each third party to whom the personal information was sold.

  • Request that a business correct inaccurate personal information.
  • Direct a business that sells or shares personal information about the consumer to third parties not to sell or share the consumer’s personal information. We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties (excluding service providers, facilitating transactions, for legal purposes and other such permitted circumstances). Therefore, the right to opt-out of sales or sharing is not applicable.
  • Direct a business to limit use and disclosure of sensitive personal information. We do not use your sensitive personal information except as necessary to perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected by an average consumer who requests those goods or services or to perform other services as permitted under applicable law. We also do not collect or process sensitive personal information with the purpose of inferring characteristics about you using such sensitive personal information. Therefore, the right to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information is not applicable.

California residents may submit a request under the CCPA through the following methods:

  • call us toll-free at 1-855-920-0594; or
  • complete the fields in the form below.

To submit a request, we are required to verify your identity. Please be prepared to provide us with your first and last name, primary telephone number, e-mail address, and current address. We will match the personal information that you provide to us with personal information that we already maintain about you in order to verify your identity. We may also need to contact you to confirm your request.

You may also designate an authorized agent to make such requests on your behalf. You have two ways to accomplish that.

  • You may provide your authorized agent with written and signed permission to make such requests.
  • You may provide your authorized agent with power of attorney pursuant to California Probate Code Sections 4000 to 4465.

Regardless of which option you choose,

  1. you must (a) verify your identity directly with us, and (b) confirm directly with us that you have given permission to the authorized agent to make such requests, and
  2. your authorized agent must submit proof that you have authorized him/her/them to make such requests on your behalf. If the authorized agent is unable or unwilling to submit such proof, we may deny such requests.

We may not be able to honor each request that we receive. If we are unable to do so, we will respond to let you know our reasons. We will not discriminate against you if you choose to exercise any of your rights as described in this section.

If you are a borrower from Freedom Mortgage, or we’re servicing your loan, or you submitted an application, or you filled out a form online to start the process, your rights are set forth in the California Financial Information Privacy Act. To see and exercise those rights, go to our California Financial Information Privacy Act Notice.
