Wix and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
2 min read
Wix.com is 100% committed to data protection. That’s why we welcome the California Consumer Privacy ACT (CCPA), which was passed by the state of California and came into effect on Jan 1 2020.
What is the CCPA?
The California Consumer Privacy Act aims to protect the consumer rights of California residents. The act serves to encourage stronger privacy for consumers and promote greater transparency for companies who have an online presence in the state.
Wix and the CCPA
Customer trust is our absolute top priority.
We have worked with a team of experts and have implemented the required adjustments to our products, services, and documentation, to ensure compliance with the CCPA. This empowers Wix customers to get more control over their personal data and gain the tools necessary to protect the information of visitors to Wix sites.
We are dedicated to data protection and have effectively reinforced this over the past 10 years.
What are we doing to ensure data protection for all our customers?
- We employ full-time security consultants, dedicated to the security of our customer information. Click here to learn more.
- Wix is Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) compliant and is accredited as a level 1 service provider and merchant. This standard helps create a secure environment by increasing cardholder data, thus reducing credit card fraud. We regularly perform internal security audits to maintain our ISO/PCI security certifications. Click here to learn more.
- Wix's signup and login services are completed through a secure server (HTTPS/SSL). Click here to learn more.
- Wix uses cryptography hash functions to protect your information. Your password is stored as a hash digest and, in the event of a security breach, your original password cannot be recovered from our servers.
In accordance with the CCPA, site visitors have the right to access their data or to be permanently deleted from your databases. Visitors also have the right to opt-out of the sale of their personal information. Wix has developed three main tools to assist you in becoming CCPA compliant:
- Right to access. Learn more.
- Right to be deleted. Learn more.
- Right to opt-out of the sale of personal information. Learn more.
