We have included this California-specific information below.

We do not sell your CA Personal Information as that term is traditionally understood. However, some of our disclosures of CA Personal Information may be considered a “sale” or “share” as those terms are defined under California Privacy Law.

We disclose your CA Personal Information as follows:
We may share the above categories of CA Personal Information with certain third parties, with your consent, for any of the commercial purposes described above.
We do not knowingly disclose the CA Personal Information of individuals under 16 years of age, in a manner that constitutes a “sale” under California law.
CA Sensitive Personal Information
Certain CA Personal Information that we collect about you may be considered sensitive personal information within the meaning of California Privacy Law, including credit card information (for billing and transaction purposes in connection with providing products and services). We only use and disclose sensitive personal information as necessary in connection with the performance of services and the provision of goods, compliance with federal, state, or local laws, and as otherwise permitted by California Privacy Law.
Retention of CA Personal Information
We retain your CA Personal information for as long as needed or permitted in light of the purpose(s) for which it was obtained. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include (i) for as long as we have an ongoing relationship with you; (ii) as required by a legal obligation to which we are subject to; or (iii) as advisable in light of our legal position (such as in regard of applicable statutes of limitations, litigation, or regulatory investigations).
Your Rights under California Law
Subject to certain exceptions detailed in California Privacy Law and other applicable laws and regulations, as a California resident, you may have certain rights: (i) request to know/access your CA Personal Information, including the specific pieces and the categories of CA Personal Information we have collected or shared about you and the categories of sources from which we have collected the CA Personal Information; (ii) request deletion of your CA Personal Information; (iii) receive information about the CA Personal Information about you that we have “sold” to (as such term is defined under California Law) or “shared” with third parties within the past 12 months, including the categories of third parties; (iv) request correction of your CA Personal Information; (v) opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your CA Personal Information, as such terms are defined under California Privacy Law; and (vi) right to non-discrimination for exercising any of the rights described in this section.

7. Security
Security for all Personal Information is extremely important to us. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best efforts to ensure its security on our systems. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100 percent secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personal Information, ArcelorMittal cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
