California Privacy Notice

If you are a resident of California, the processing of your Personal Information may be subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act.  The CCPA provides California residents with certain rights. 

This California Privacy Notice (“CA Notice”) supplements our general Privacy Statement and applies to Personal Information about California residents who are covered by the CCPA that Leidos Digital Solutions, Inc. (“DSI,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) processes in connection with the operation of its Intranet Quorum (“IQ”) solution.

This CA Notice applies only to DSI’s processing of your Personal Information in connection with operating the IQ solution.  DSI provides innovative information technology solutions to elected officials and government offices in the United States.  Our customers may use IQ to communicate with you and otherwise process your Personal Information, but we do not have control over how our customers process your Personal Information.    

DSI may collect Personal Information about you when you interact with our Site, use our products, or communicate with us.  We may also collect Personal Information that you make publicly available on social media or other websites.  For each category of Personal Information (in bold), we have provided a few examples of the types of Personal Information we may collect.

We also purchase voting records from L2, Inc. (“L2”), which we sell to our customers to help our customers better communicate with their constituents.  We purchase these records only when our customers, who are elected officials and government offices, request that we provide these records to them.  If our customer hosts their instance of IQ, we delete these records within 45 days of our customer accepting them.  If we host IQ for our customer, we maintain these records at our customer’s direction and solely for our customer’s use.  When we delete voting records, a copy of this information may remain on backup servers until deleted in accordance with our record retention procedures.   You may review L2’s Privacy Policy for information about L2’s practices with respect to Personal Information.
