11. Your Data Protection Rights under the California Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)

CalOPPA is the first state law in the United States that requires commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. This law doesn’t just stop at California; it extends its reach to any person or company worldwide that operates websites and collects personally identifiable information from California residents. It mandates that such businesses post a privacy policy on their websites that clearly states the information being collected and with whom it will be shared. They also have to comply with this privacy policy.

According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following terms:

  • 11.1 Users can visit our site anonymously.
  • 11.2 Our Privacy Policy link includes the word “Privacy” and is easy to find on the homepage of our website.
  • 11.3 Users will be notified about any changes to our Privacy Policy on the Privacy Policy Page.
  • 11.4 Users can change their personal information by emailing us at hello@globalocalexperiences.com.

Our Policy on “Do Not Track” Signals:

We respect “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 setting in your web browser that signals to websites you don’t want to be tracked.

You can enable or disable this feature by visiting the Preferences or Settings page of your web browser.

12. Your Data Protection Rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

If you’re a resident of California, you’re entitled to know what data we’ve collected about you, request deletion of your data, and even opt out of having it sold or shared. To exercise these rights, you can submit specific requests to us. Here’s what you can ask:

  • 12.1 What personal information have we collected about you. If you request this, we’ll provide you with:
    • 12.1.1 The categories of personal information we’ve collected.
    • 12.1.2 The sources of personal information collection.
    • 12.1.3 The purpose for collecting or selling your personal information.
    • 12.1.4 The categories of third parties we’ve shared your information with.
    • 12.1.5 The specific pieces of personal information we’ve collected.
    • 12.1.6 A list of personal information categories we’ve sold, including the name of any company we sold it to. If we haven’t sold your data, we’ll inform you of that.
    • 12.1.7 A list of categories of personal information we’ve disclosed for business purposes, along with the company name.

You’re entitled to request this info up to two times in a 12-month period, and the information we provide will only cover the personal data we collected about you in the previous 12 months.

  • 12.2 To delete your personal information. If you make this request, we will delete your data from our records and instruct our service providers to do the same. In some cases, we may de-identify the data instead of full deletion. Deleting your information may prevent you from using certain features that require your personal data.
  • 12.3 To stop the sale of your personal information. We don’t sell or rent your personal information for money. However, under California law, transferring your data to third parties, or within our family of companies, without monetary consideration might be considered a “sale.” But you’re the fucking boss of your data, and we’ll respect your rights to stop such transfers.

If you submit a request to stop selling your data, we’ll comply.

Keep in mind that if you ask us to delete your data or stop selling it, it could affect your experience with us. You may not be able to use certain programs or services that depend on your personal information to function. But don’t worry, baby—we won’t discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

To make a request, email us at hello@globalocalexperiences.com.

Your data protection rights described above fall under the CCPA, which came into effect on 01/05/2025. For more information, check out the official California Legislative Information website.
