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 I agree to the following:

  1. users can visit my site anonymously;
  2. my Privacy Policy link includes the word “Privacy”, and can easily be found on the home page of my website;
  3. users will be notified of any privacy policy changes on my Privacy Policy Page;
  4. users are able to change their personal information by emailing me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

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 I 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 me:

  1. What personal information I have about you. If you make this request, I will return to you:
    1. The categories of personal information I have collected about you.
    2. The categories of sources from which I collect your personal information.
    3. The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling your personal information.

  3. To delete your personal information. If you make this request, I will delete the personal information I hold about you as of the date of your request from my 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.
  4. To stop selling your personal information. I don’t sell or rent your personal information to any third parties for any purpose. I do not sell your personal information for monetary consideration. However, under some circumstances, a transfer of personal information to a third party, or within my 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, I will stop making such transfers.

Please note, if you ask me to delete or stop selling your data, it may impact your experience with me, 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, I will discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
