California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

Similar to Europe's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), though with several key differences, California's data privacy act is a governmental framework designed to help safeguard consumers' sensitive personal information. As the digital landscape has evolved over the past decade, the tech sector's notion of consumer rights have expanded –- particularly when it comes to sensitive data. With a number of highly - publicly sensitive data breaches in recent years, personal information – from Social Security Numbers to payment card data –- needs to be safeguarded more vigorously than ever before. California's data privacy act, known as CCPA, is an effort to do just that. It's a governmental framework designed to help make sure organizations are properly protecting their customers' sensitive personal data.

F5 has been adhering to strict standards for our users’ data even before CCPA went into effect. We minimize our collection of personal data and only use personal data for the purpose for which it was collected. We have committed that we would keep personal information private, so we have never sold or rented our users’ personal information to anyone. We give people the ability to access, correct, or delete their personal information; and consistent with our role as a data processor, give our customers control over the information captured by our products.
