Your Data Protection Rights under the California Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online
services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to
require a person or company in the United States (and conceivable the world) that
operates websites collecting personally identifiable information from California
consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the
information being collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared, and to
comply with this policy.
According to CalOPPA we agree to the following:
0.1. Users can visit our site anonymously;
0.2. Our Privacy Policy link includes the word “Privacy”, and can easily be found on
the home page of our website;
0.3. Users will be notified of any privacy policy changes on our Privacy Policy Page;
0.4. Users are able to change their personal information by emailing us at
Policy@optscs.com.
Our Policy on “Do Not Track” Signals:
We honor Do Not Track signals and do not track, plant cookies, or use advertising
when a Do Not Track browser mechanism is in place. Do Not Track is a preference
you can set in your web browser to inform websites that you do not want to be
tracked.
You can enable or disable Do Not Track by visiting the Preferences or Settings page
of your web browser.
Your Data Protection Rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
If you are a California resident, you are entitled to learn what data we collect about
you, ask to delete your data and not to sell (share) it. To exercise your data protection
rights, you can make certain requests and ask us:
0.1. What personal information we have about you. If you make this request, we
will return to you:

0.0.2. The categories of sources from which we collect your personal information.
0.0.3. The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling your personal

personal information we hold about you as of the date of your request from our
records and direct any service providers to do the same. In some cases, deletion may
be accomplished through de-identification of the information. If you choose to delete
your personal information, you may not be able to use certain functions that require
your personal information to operate.
0.3. To stop selling your personal information. We don’t sell or rent your personal
information to any third parties for any purpose. We do not sell your personal
information for monetary consideration. However, under some circumstances, a
transfer of personal information to a third party, or within our family of companies,
without monetary consideration may be considered a “sale” under California law. You
are the only owner of your Personal Data and can request disclosure or deletion at any
time.
If you submit a request to stop selling your personal information, we will stop making
such transfers.
Please note, if you ask us to delete or stop selling your data, it may impact your
experience with us, and you may not be able to participate in certain programs or
membership services which require the usage of your personal information to
function. But in no circumstances, we will discriminate against you for exercising
your rights.
