CNBC LLC just introduced an Opt-Out Icon on its leading financial news site. This new initiative is one way they’re fulfilling their compliance with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). The purpose of this initiative is to give Californians more transparency and control over how their data is used and how their privacy is protected. Now the Opt-Out Icon is available on their technology so all users can more easily take control of their privacy and security settings.
This recently introduced icon, which is still being rolled out on the site, represents CNBC’s commitment to be more user-friendly and transparent about the data we use. Originally, the CCPA was supposed to go into effect in January 2020. It requires that businesses need to give consumers the option to opt-out of data collection processes. CNBC’s choice to go with this feature shows their intention to follow state laws, but do so in a way that builds user privacy into the process.
To learn more about the CCPA, users can read our California Notice linked on CNBC’s privacy page. This notice explains California residents’ rights under the law. It is a resource that provides concrete steps for how to claim those rights. The relevant link is located at the bottom of NBC Universal Privacy Notice.
In conjunction with the Opt-Out Icon, CNBC offers free newsletters that deliver comprehensive insights into various financial topics and services. Subscribers get the cutting edge on industry innovation, market analysis and more, with these must-read newsletters. To learn more about CNBC’s newsletters and other products and services, get more information embedded in the newsletters themselves.
Aside from an intuitive user experience, CNBC offers several ways for users to contact their CNBC team members. The “Get In Touch” button gives users the ability to send news tips or questions directly from this modal. This unique feature highlights CNBC’s commitment to listening to their viewers and readers and answering their questions and concerns in a helpful way.
Plus, as a national media partner, CNBC provides highly specific advertising opportunities for companies of all sizes seeking to engage their desired audience. Additional information for companies looking to advertise can be found at NBC Universal Advertising Opportunities. This is a valuable advertising service that helps advertisers reach consumers as long as it’s obvious how their data is being used.
In addition, CNBC has a more detailed Privacy Policy that describes how it uses data. This policy is accessible via NBC Universal Privacy Policy, ensuring that users are well-informed about how their personal information is collected and used.
