## 11. Your Data Protection Rights under the California Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)
|
||
|
||
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to
|
||
post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or
|
||
company in the United States (and conceivable the world) that operates websites collecting
|
||
personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy
|
||
on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals with whom it is
|
||
being shared, and to comply with this policy.
|
||
|
||
According to CalOPPA we agree to the following:
|
||
|
||
0.1. users can visit our site anonymously;
|
||
|
||
0.2. our Privacy Policy link includes the word "Privacy", and can easily be found on the home page
|
||
of our website;
|
||
|
||
0.3. users will be notified of any privacy policy changes on our Privacy Policy Page;
|
||
|
||
0.4. users are able to change their personal information by emailing us at **[email protected]**.
|
||
|
||
Our Policy on "Do Not Track" Signals:
|
||
|
||
We honor Do Not Track signals and do not track, plant cookies, or use advertising when a Do Not
|
||
Track browser mechanism is in place. Do Not Track is a preference you can set in your web browser to
|
||
inform websites that you do not want to be tracked.
|
||
|
||
You can enable or disable Do Not Track by visiting the Preferences or Settings page of your web
|
||
browser.
|
||
|
||
## 12. Your Data Protection Rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
|
||
|
||
If you are a California resident, you are entitled to learn what data we collect about you, ask to
|
||
delete your data and not to sell (share) it. To exercise your data protection rights, you can make
|
||
certain requests and ask us:
|
||
|
||
**0.1. What personal information we have about you. If you make this request, we will return to
|
||
you:**
|
||
|
||
0.0.1. The categories of personal information we have collected about you.
|
||
|
||
0.0.2. The categories of sources from which we collect your personal information.
|
||
|
||
0.0.3. The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling your personal information.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
0.0.6. A list of categories of personal information that we have sold, along with the category of
|
||
any other company we sold it to. If we have not sold your personal information, we will inform you

|
||
|
||
0.0.7. A list of categories of personal information that we have disclosed for a business purpose,
|
||
along with the category of any other company we shared it with.
|
||
|
||
Please note, you are entitled to ask us to provide you with this information up to two times in a
|
||
rolling twelve-month period. When you make this request, the information provided may be limited to
|
||
the personal information we collected about you in the previous 12 months.
|
||
|
||
**0.2. To delete your personal information. If you make this request, we will delete the personal
|
||
information we hold about you as of the date of your request from our records and direct any service
|
||
providers to do the same. In some cases, deletion may be accomplished through de-identification of
|
||
the information. If you choose to delete your personal information, you may not be able to use
|
||
certain functions that require your personal information to operate.**
|
||
|
||
**0.3. To stop selling your personal information. We don’t sell or rent your personal information to
|
||
any third parties for any purpose. We do not sell your personal information for monetary
|
||
consideration. However, under some circumstances, a transfer of personal information to a third
|
||
party, or within our family of companies, without monetary consideration may be considered a "sale"
|
||
under California law. You are the only owner of your Personal Data and can request disclosure or
|
||
deletion at any time.**
|
||
|
||
If you submit a request to stop selling your personal information, we will stop making such
|
||
transfers.
|
||
|
||
Please note, if you ask us to delete or stop selling your data, it may impact your experience with
|
||
us, and you may not be able to participate in certain programs or membership services which require
|
||
the usage of your personal information to function. But in no circumstances, we will discriminate
|
||
against you for exercising your rights.
|
||
|
||
To exercise your California data protection rights described above, please send your request(s) by
|
||
email: **[email protected]**.
|
||
|
||
Your data protection rights, described above, are covered by the CCPA, short for the California
|
||
Consumer Privacy Act. To find out more, visit the official California Legislative Information
|
||
website. The CCPA took effect on 01/01/2020.
