10. California privacy rights
This section applies to California residents and addresses rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CCPA/CPRA"). Some rights apply only where statutory thresholds and other applicable requirements are met.
Subject to applicable law, California residents may have the right to:
- Know and access the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about them, the sources, the purposes for collection, and the categories of recipients;
- Delete personal information we have collected, subject to legal exceptions;
- Correct inaccurate personal information;
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising;
- Limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information used or disclosed for purposes that go beyond what is necessary to provide the requested services;
- Non-discrimination for exercising these rights.
California residents may submit a privacy request by contacting [email protected]. We will verify requests in a manner appropriate to the nature of the request and the sensitivity of the information involved. We may decline or limit a request to the extent permitted by law, including where we cannot verify the requester's identity or where an exception applies.
California residents may use an authorized agent to submit requests on their behalf, subject to verification of the agent's authority and the consumer's identity as permitted by law.
11. Sale or sharing of personal information
Digitalage does not sell personal information for monetary or other valuable consideration. We share personal information only with service providers and partners who perform functions on our behalf, as described in this Privacy Notice.
Certain third-party services integrated into the Site, such as analytics or embedded media providers, may receive personal information in ways that could be characterized as "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising under California law. To the extent any such activity could be considered "sharing," California residents may opt out by contacting [email protected] or by using any "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" mechanism we provide on the Site. Where applicable and technically feasible through our implemented systems, we will treat valid opt-out preference signals, including GPC, as a request to opt out of sale or sharing for the browser or device transmitting the signal.
12. Sensitive personal information under CPRA
Under the CPRA, sensitive personal information includes data such as government identifiers, account credentials, precise geolocation, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, union membership, genetic data, biometric data, health information, sex life, sexual orientation, and the contents of private communications.
Digitalage does not use sensitive personal information for the purpose of inferring characteristics about users. We process sensitive personal information only as necessary to provide the services you request or as otherwise permitted by law. California residents may have the right to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information to permitted purposes. To exercise this right, contact [email protected] or use any "Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information" mechanism we provide on the Site.
