U.S. State Supplemental Privacy Notice
Last Updated: July 1, 2026
This U.S. State Supplemental Privacy Notice (“Supplemental Notice”) supplements our main Privacy Notice (collectively, our “Privacy Statements”) and applies to residents of U.S. states with comprehensive privacy legislation, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, Oregon Consumer Privacy Act, Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, and other similar laws that may be enacted (each, a “State Privacy Law”). If you see any capitalized terms in this Supplemental Notice that are not defined here, they have the same meaning as in our main Privacy Notice.
Our Privacy Statements explain how we collect, use, and disclose information that identifies you or could reasonably be used to identify you (referred to in this Supplemental Notice as “personal information”). Please note these notices do not apply to information we collect in the job applicant or worker context.
Key Points to Understand:
- Data Sources: As part of our information practices, we collect publicly available information, including data sourced or derived from public records (referred to as “Publicly Available Information”).
- State Privacy Laws: While our Privacy Statements include certain information about our collection and use of Publicly Available Information, this type of data is generally not covered by State Privacy Laws.
If you have a disability that prevents or limits your ability to access our Privacy Statements, please contact us at support@studordud.com. We will work with you to provide the notices in an alternative format.
