CCPA Compliance

UpdatePool is committed to respecting the privacy rights of California residents under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and its amendment, the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). This page explains how these laws apply to our informational website and how you can exercise your rights.

Scope and Applicability

The CCPA/CPRA applies to businesses that collect personal information of California residents and meet certain thresholds. While UpdatePool does not sell or share personal information for monetary gain, we may use cookies and analytics tools to understand visitor behavior. As an informational blog with no user registration or account system, we do not store personally identifiable data in databases. However, we comply fully with CCPA/CPRA requirements for transparency and user rights.

Your Rights Under CCPA/CPRA

As a California resident, you have the following rights:

Right to Know: You can request details about the categories of personal information we have collected about you in the past 12 months.
Right to Delete: You may request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain legal exceptions.
Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing: You have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. While we do not sell personal data, we honor opt-out requests related to third-party analytics and advertising cookies.
Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not deny, charge different prices, or provide a different level of service because you exercised your CCPA/CPRA rights.
Right to Authorize an Agent: You may designate an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf. We may require proof of authorization before processing such requests.
