8. CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS – YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS

This section applies to residents of California and supplements the rest of this Privacy Policy. It is provided in accordance with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), the California Shine the Light Law (Cal. Civ. Code Section 1798.83), and the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA).

8.1 Your California Privacy Rights Under CCPA/CPRA

As a California resident, you have the following rights:

Right to Know: You have the right to request that we disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources from which we collected it, our business or commercial purpose for collecting or sharing it, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it.

Right to Delete: You have the right to request that we delete the personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions.

Right to Correct: You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information we maintain about you.

Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing: You have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. We use advertising technologies such as Google Ads and Meta Pixel that may constitute “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising under the CPRA. To opt out, visit our “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” page linked in the footer of this website.

Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information: To the extent we collect sensitive personal information (as defined under CPRA), you have the right to request that we limit our use of that information to what is necessary to perform the services you requested.

Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your California privacy rights. We will not deny you services, charge you different prices, or provide a different level of service because you exercised your rights under California law.

8.2 How to Submit a California Privacy Request

To exercise your California privacy rights, you may:

– Email us at support@donateacar4breastcancer.org with the subject line “California Privacy Request”
– Use our “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” page linked in the footer of this website

You may designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf. Authorized agent requests must be submitted in writing and include documentation demonstrating the agent’s authority to act on your behalf. We may still require you to verify your identity directly with us.

8.3 California Shine the Light Law

California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please contact us at support@donateacar4breastcancer.org.

8.4 Do Not Track

As described in Section 3.5, our Website does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals sent by browsers.

9. WHERE WE SEND OR STORE YOUR DATA

Visitor comments may be checked through automated spam detection services that may be hosted in other countries.

We and our service providers may process or store data on servers located in jurisdictions outside your state or country. Where required, we take steps designed to support appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.

10. HOW WE PROTECT YOUR DATA

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards intended to protect personal data, such as:

– Secure hosting environments
– Access controls and authentication
– Regular software updates and security patches

No internet transmission or electronic storage method is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. DATA BREACH PROCEDURES

If we become aware of a data breach that may compromise your personal information, we will:

– Investigate and take appropriate remedial steps
– Notify affected individuals where required by law

12. THIRD-PARTY DATA AND AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING

Third-Party Data: In limited cases, we may receive information from third parties (e.g., analytics providers, advertising platforms, or security services) to help understand Website usage or detect abuse and fraud.

Automated Decision-Making: We do not engage in automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects solely based on automated processing. Security and spam tools may automatically flag suspicious activity, but this is not used to make legal or financial determinations about you. Advertising platforms such as Google and Meta may use automated processing to serve ads, but these processes are governed by their own privacy policies.

13. INDUSTRY AND REGULATORY DISCLOSURES

If specific regulations apply to the Website or its operators, we will comply and may update this Policy to reflect additional obligations.
