Updated: August 2025

California Consumer Privacy Rights Statement (“Statement”)

The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”) includes additional privacy protections for consumers. It requires businesses to be transparent about how they collect, share and use consumers’ personal data.

This Statement supplements the information contained in the Consumer Privacy Notice(PDF, 312 KB) and Online Privacy Practices and Privacy Notice of Comerica Bank and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “we,” “us,” or “our”) and applies solely to visitors, users, and others who reside in the State of California (“consumers” or “you”). We adopt this Statement to comply with the CCPA and other California privacy laws.

Disclosing Personal Information
We may disclose your personal information to a third party for a business purpose. When we disclose personal information for a business purpose, we enter into a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to both keep that personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose except performing the contract.

We disclose your personal information for a business purpose to the following categories of third parties:

  • Our affiliates

  • Third parties to whom you or your agents authorize us to disclose your personal information in connection with products or services we provide to you

The use of these technologies may constitute a “sale” or “share” of personal information under the CCPA.

We do not knowingly sell or share personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.

    • disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained

Deletion Request Rights
You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies. Exceptions include:

  • If data is already regulated by Gramm-Leach-Bliley-Act (GLBA)
  • If data is required to complete a transaction for which personal information is collected to provide a good or service requested by the consumer.
  • If data is required for legal obligations or regulatory reasons.
  • If data is required to detect security incidents; protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, illegal activity; to prosecute those who are responsible for that activity.
  • If data enables solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with the expectations of the consumer based on the consumer relationship with the business.

Correction Request Rights
You have the right to correct any of your personal information that we have collected and maintain by contacting our customer service center. We will correct your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.

Opt Out Rights

  • Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information. You have the right to opt out of having your personal information sold or shared with others for cross-context or behavioral advertising purposes. This does not include using your interactions with us or information that you provide to us to select advertisements to show you.
  • Limit Processing of Sensitive Personal Information. You have the right to tell us not to process Sensitive Personal Information for any purpose other than the purpose for which we originally collected it. We only process Sensitive Personal Information for the purpose for which we originally collected it, unless required by law.
  • In the event of a merger, acquisition, or similar event, we will preserve your opt-out preferences regarding the sale or sharing of personal information.

Exercising your Rights

  • Access, Correction and Deletion. To exercise the access, correction, and deletion rights California residents may visit our online CPRA Request Page by clicking the link at the top or bottom of this page or by calling us toll free at 1-800-522-2265. We will ask you for information that allows us to reasonably verify your identity (that you are the person about whom we collected personal information) and will use that information only for that purpose. We may request that you submit a signed statement under penalty of perjury that you are the individual you claim to be. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding receipt of your request, but you may request an expanded time period as permitted by law.  We will honor that expanded request unless doing so would involve a disproportionate effort.
  • Opt-Out Rights. To opt out of the sale of your personal information or the sharing of your personal information you may submit a request to us by clicking the link at the top or bottom of this page and selecting Opt Out Request or by calling us toll free at 1-800-522-2265. You do not need to tell us to limit processing of Sensitive Personal Information because we already limit such processing.

You may also opt out by activating a user-enabled global privacy control, such as a browser plug-in or privacy setting, device setting, or other mechanism, that communicates or signals your choice to opt-out of the sale and sharing of personal information. When we receive such a signal we will stop setting third party, analytics, or advertising partner cookies on your browser. This will prevent the sale or sharing of information relating to that specific device through cookies to our advertising or analytics partners. This option does not stop all sales or sharing of your information because we cannot match your device’s identification or internet protocol address with your personally identifiable information like your name, phone number, email address or ZIP Code. If you delete cookies on your browser, any prior do not sell or do not share signal is also deleted and you should make sure that your user-enabled setting is always activated.

Only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format
We will acknowledge receipt of your request for access, correction or deletion within 10 business days and will endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to a total of 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.

For requests that we not sell or share your information or limit processing of Sensitive Personal Information we will comply with your request promptly, in accordance with law. Once we receive your request, we will wait at least 12 months before asking you to reauthorize personal information sales or sharing.

Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CPRA rights. Unless permitted by the CPRA, we will not:

  • Deny you goods or services.
  • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
  • Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
  • Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

Changes to Our Privacy Statement
We reserve the right to amend this privacy statement at our discretion and at any time. Any changes made to this privacy statement will be available on our website.
