The CCPA requires us to state how we handle and process Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signals, which is referred to in the CCPA as opt-out preference signal (“OOPS”). GPC/OOPS are signals sent by a platform, technology, or mechanism, enabled by individuals on their devices or browsers, that communicate the individual’s choice to opt-out of the Sale and Sharing of personal information. To use an OOPS/GPC, you can download an internet browser or a plugin to use on your current internet browser and follow the settings to enable the OOPS/GPC. As of January 1, 2023, the CCPA’s updated regulations, which are supposed to set forth requirements as to OOPS/GPC, have not yet been finalized. We will process OOPS/GPC as required when the regulations are finalized. In the meantime, to our knowledge, we have configured the settings of our consent management platform to receive and process GPC signals on our websites. Similar to when you configure cookies manually, GPC/OOPS will only apply to the browser and device you are currently using to visit our websites. It will not apply to a different browser or device. If you visit our webpages using a different browser or device, you will need to exercise your choice for each browser or device.


The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives California residents the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information.

We do not sell your personal information (PI) for monetary consideration. Third-Party digital businesses (“Third-Party Digital Businesses”) may associate cookies and other tracking technologies that collect personal information about you on our website, or otherwise collect and process personal information that we make available about you, including digital activity information. Giving access to personal information on our website, or otherwise, to Third-Party Digital Businesses could be deemed a “sale” and/or “sharing”. Therefore, we will treat such PI collected by Third-Party Digital Businesses (e.g., cookie ID, IP address, and other online IDs and internet or other electronic activity information) as such, and subject to the opt-out requests described above. In some instances, the PI we make available about you is collected directly by such Third-Party Digital Businesses using cookies or other tracking technologies on our website or our advertisements that are served on third-party sites (which we refer to as “cookie PI").

Please refer to the section “Sale or Sharing of Personal Information" in the CCPA Notice for more details.

Opt-out for cookie PI: You can exercise this right with respect to cookie PI by clicking on the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link below, which will cause the cookie preferences pop-up menu to appear. You will need to click on each “toggle” within the cookie preferences pop-up menu and move it to the left, then click “save” in order to stop the collection of your personal information by the cookies and trackers. Your choice will only apply to the browser and device you are currently using to visit our websites. It will not apply to a different browser or device. If you visit our webpages using a different browser or device, you will need to exercise your choice for each browser or device. If you have a cookie blocker or similar tool enabled, it may prevent our cookie banner and the cookies preferences pop-up menu from appearing. Your preferences are saved via an essential cookie, so if you clear cookies from your browser, it will also clear the opt-out preferences that you have made.

If you do not wish to exercise your opt-out right with respect to all cookies, you can manage individual cookie preferences. However, you must follow the above instructions as to all cookie categories presented to you in order to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information. Please be aware that when you toggle off all cookies, the way our website functions may change. If at any point you want to update your cookie preferences, you may do so by clicking on the Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information link which you can find on our cookie banner or at the bottom of each webpage.

In addition, third party tools enable you to search for and opt-out of some of these tracking devices, such as the Ghostery browser plug-in available at http://www.ghostery.com/. Further, we endeavor to comply with industry guidelines on behavioral advertising, and you can learn more about your choices regarding certain kinds of online interest-based advertising here. We do not represent that these third party tools, programs or statements are complete or accurate.


California consumers have the privacy rights described in this section, subject to certain limitations. Personal information protected by other laws such as the Financial Services Modernization Act (also known as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is exempted from the following CCPA rights. Personal information provided to us or collected by us in connection with insurance or financial products and services are protected by these laws and not subject to the following rights granted by the CCPA.

You may submit a request described below or submit one through an authorized agent (examples of an authorized agent may include a power of attorney, guardian, conservator or one registered with the California Secretary of State). Requests submitted to us are subject to review, identification, and verification. We will acknowledge receipt of your request and provide information about processing the request and the verification process. We may ask you for information which allows us to confirm your identity in relation to information we currently have. In addition, we may require notarization of any forms submitted. We will reimburse you for reasonable fees incurred for the notarization of documents. We may also ask for documentation verifying that your designated agent is authorized to act on your behalf. We may not be able to fulfill your request if we are unable to verify you are the consumer that is the subject of the request, or that the agent is, in fact, authorized to act on your behalf.

We will make reasonable efforts to identify personal information that we collect, use, and disclose to respond to your request. In some instances we may not be able to process a request because, for example, we may not be able to sufficiently verify your identity based on the information you provide to us in response to our verification process. In such instances, we will provide you with a written explanation as to the reason we cannot process your request.

In some cases, we may suggest that you receive the most recent or a summary of your personal information and give you the opportunity to elect whether to receive the rest of your personal information. We reserve the right to direct you to where you may access and copy responsive personal information.

The CCPA contains several exemptions which may impact State Farm’s obligation to comply with any request made pursuant to CCPA. State Farm retains the right to apply any of the exemptions provided under CCPA to any request, at any time.

Instructions on making a request for personal information that is not provided to us or collected by us in connection with insurance or financial products and services and protected by law such as GLBA, HIPAA and/or FRCA are contained in the Contact Us section.

  • Necessary to complete a transaction or service you requested;
  • Needed for security purposes;
  • Needed to identify and repair system errors;
  • Needed for the exercise of free speech or exercise another right provided for by law;
  • Necessary for compliance with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act;
  • Necessary for internal business purposes; or
  • Needed to comply with laws or legal obligations.

The CCPA gives California consumers the right to request a business to correct their inaccurate personal information, considering the nature of the personal information and the purposes for processing the personal information. We make commercially reasonable efforts to correct your personal information and may ask you for additional documentation to process your request.


The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives California residents the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information.
