Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
Your privacy rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA)
Your Rights
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have the right to opt out of the "sale" of their personal information. While The Talk Lounge does not sell personal information in the traditional sense, certain data sharing practices with advertising partners may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" under the CCPA/CPRA. Under the CPRA, "sharing" means making personal information available to third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes, even if no money is exchanged.
What Information May Be Shared
When you visit our site, advertising partners may collect device identifiers, browsing behavior, and interaction data through cookies and similar technologies to deliver personalized ads. This data sharing may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" under CCPA/CPRA for cross-context behavioral advertising.
How to Opt Out
You can opt out of personalized advertising by: 1) Submitting the form below. 2) Emailing privacy@thetalklounge.com with subject line "CCPA/CPRA Opt-Out". 3) Adjusting your browser cookie settings to block third-party cookies. 4) Using the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal in your browser.
What Happens After You Opt Out
After opting out, you will still see ads on our site, but they will not be personalized based on your browsing behavior. Your opt-out preference will be honored for at least 12 months. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
Authorized Agent
You may designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf. To do so, provide the agent with written permission signed by you and direct the agent to email privacy@thetalklounge.com. We may require verification of both the agent’s identity and your authorization before processing the request.
Sensitive Personal Information
Under the CPRA, sensitive personal information includes Social Security numbers, financial account information, precise geolocation, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, and other categories. The Talk Lounge limits its collection of sensitive personal information to what is necessary for providing our services. You have the right to limit the use and disclosure of your sensitive personal information. To exercise this right, contact privacy@thetalklounge.com.
