California Privacy Notice

Last Updated or Reviewed: December 1, 2021

This California Privacy Notice supplements the information and disclosures contained in our 
Privacy Policy. It applies to the Personal Information of certain California residents, who are Consumers receiving products or services for which we are a Business, as those terms are defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (California Civil Code §§ 1798.100 to 1798.199) and its implementing regulations, as amended or superseded from time to time (the “CCPA”), and is effective upon the date that the CCPA enters into operation.

Briefly, and as more fully defined in the CCPA, Personal Information means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular Consumer or Household; however, certain categories of information may be excluded, including, for example, de-identified or aggregate information, information lawfully made available from government records, medical information, data subject to HIPAA, data maintained by healthcare providers in the same manner as data subject to HIPAA, clinical trial data, consumer credit reporting agency data or data subject to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, data subject to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, data subject to the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act, and data relating to vehicle ownership or warranty information.

Any capitalized terms herein are intended to have the same meaning as in the CCPA.


California Consumers’ Rights and Choices

Under the CCPA, California consumers have the right to request access to the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about them in the last 12 months.

If you are a Consumer, California law may permit you to request information regarding the:


Personal Information Collection, Disclosure, and Sale

We may collect the following categories of information about you directly or indirectly from you or our affiliates through your use of the Edifier Products and Services:









Such information may be used for the purposes for which it was collected or as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law.

We have not sold in the preceding twelve months from the date of last review of this Privacy Policy, do not currently sell, and will not sell your personal information for twelve months from the date of the last review of this Privacy Policy.

As of the date of last update and review of this California Privacy Notice, we have no reason to believe that we have collected, disclosed, sold or otherwise processed the Personal Information of more than 4 million California Consumers.


Do Not Track

Edifier does not currently take steps to respond to browsers’ “Do Not Track” signals as no uniform standard to respond to such signals has been developed at this time. If in the future we anticipate selling your personal information to any party, we will provide you with the opt-out and opt-in rights required by the CCPA.
