You may have a strong case to take legal action against Athletic.net for not complying with your request. Under the CCPA, you have the right to:
- Request deletion of personal data
- Request disclosure of collected personal data
- Opt-out of the sale of personal data
Have you formally requested Athletic.net to remove your data in writing?
What would that look like? I ask because under their privacy policy and terms and conditions there are very precise guidelines Californians have to follow when requesting the deletion of their data. I followed this guideline and they still denied my request because they send I was not the account holder or the person that made the account. When I asked them then if I claim the account as athletes have the ability to do so to their own accounts if it was previously made by a coach or their school when they were a minor that I would then be the owner of all my data and rankings and scoring information, and then have legal rights and permission to delete all my info. they never responded
In California, the CCPA provides strong data protection rights. Since you followed the guidelines and were denied, you may consider taking legal action. Important steps include:
- Document all your communication with Athletic.net.
- Consult with a lawyer specializing in data privacy.
Have you already documented your communication attempts with Athletic.net?
Yes. But would my case diminish if I didn't follow up after they never responded?
Not necessarily. The lack of response from Athletic.net could strengthen your case. However, it's crucial to document all attempts to communicate and any responses or lack thereof. Consulting with a lawyer specializing in data privacy is advisable.
Have you considered consulting a lawyer to explore this further?
Yes, my attempts are documented. Would my case diminish if I didn't follow up after they never responded?
Your case won't necessarily diminish if you didn't follow up after they failed to respond. However, it is always better to demonstrate persistent efforts. Consider consulting with a lawyer to discuss further steps.
Would you like information on how to find a lawyer specializing in data privacy in California?
no I want to know if I can follow up in a demand letter explaining that if they ultimately choose to do nothing that their lack of action is infringing upon my rights and that they will be neglecting to protect me which is acting in negligence.
Absolutely, you can follow up with a demand letter. You could include:
- Summary of your previous requests.
- Explanation of how their inaction infringes on your rights under the CCPA.
- Statement of potential legal consequences for their negligence.

Subject: Demand for Deletion of Personal Data under CCPA
Dear [Recipient's Name],
I am writing to formally request the immediate deletion of my personal data from Athletic.net, as stipulated under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
Despite following the precise guidelines outlined in your privacy policy, my request was denied on the grounds that I was not the account holder. This data was posted by my school without consent when I was a minor, revealing my previous identity. This public information has already caused me distress and could potentially lead to physical harm.
I have documented all communication attempts with Athletic.net, including my request to claim the account and subsequent lack of response from your end. Your inaction infringes upon my rights under the CCPA and constitutes negligence in protecting my privacy and safety.
Should you fail to comply with this demand, I will be left with no option but to pursue legalaction to enforce my rights and seek appropriate remedies.
I expect a response within 14 days of receipt of this letter, confirming the deletion of my personal data.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]

Would you like more detailed tips on any specific section of the letter?
I am writing to formally demand the immediate removal of my personal information from Athletic.net, as well as affiliated sites. I previously notified you of the presence of my personally identifiable information (PII) on your platform. Despite my initial request, no action has been taken to protect my privacy, which constitutes a failure on your part to uphold your responsibility under applicable privacy laws, including the CCPA and the CPRA. While I understand that removing my information may affect the existing scores and rankings, the burden of finding a solution to this issue rests solely with you. I will not accept any placeholder or entry that could potentially connect me to my past data. Any information that remains must not imply any affiliation with me whatsoever. If this situation is not resolved by December 7th, *, I may be compelled to pursue legal action to protect my rights and seek appropriate remedies. I expect confirmation of the removal.
