CCPA Compliance
At Worldwide Investment Insights, we are committed to respecting your rights 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 California residents. While Worldwide Investment Insights does not collect personal information through user registration or accounts, we may automatically collect certain data through cookies, web beacons, and analytics tools when you visit our site. This includes IP addresses, browser types, device identifiers, and usage patterns that may qualify as personal information under the CCPA/CPRA.
Your Rights Under CCPA/CPRA
As a California resident, you have the following rights:
- Right to Know: You can request details about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you in the past 12 months.
- Right to Delete: You may request the deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions.
- Right to Opt-Out: You have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. Although we do not sell personal information for monetary consideration, we may share data with third-party analytics providers for advertising purposes, which may constitute "sharing" under CPRA.
- Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising your CCPA/CPRA rights.
- Right to Correct: You may request correction of inaccurate personal information we hold about you.
How We Comply
We do not maintain a database of user identities or personally identifiable information collected through forms or accounts. Any data collected is anonymized and aggregated for analytical purposes. We do not retain personal information longer than necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected. We use cookie consent banners to ensure transparency and provide opt-out mechanisms where applicable.
Data We Process
Under CCPA/CPRA, the following categories of personal information may be collected automatically:
- Internet or other electronic network activity information (e.g., pages visited, time spent, clickstream data)
- Device identifiers and IP addresses
- Geolocation data (approximate, based on IP)
- Usage patterns and interactions with our content
No names, email addresses, phone numbers, or financial account details are collected unless voluntarily provided via a contact form.
Legal Basis for Processing
Our processing of personal information is based on legitimate interests in website functionality, analytics, and improving user experience. We do not engage in targeted advertising or profiling.
