Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) opt-out.

Short answer

We do not sell your personal information for money.Under California's expanded definition of “sale” and “sharing”, however, the use of cookies for analytics or affiliate attribution can technically count as “sharing”. Use the buttons below or the cookie settings link in the footer to opt out of any such sharing.

1. What California law requires

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), gives California residents the right to direct businesses not to “sell” or “share” their personal information. “Selling” means exchanging personal information for monetary or other valuable consideration. “Sharing” means disclosing personal information to and third party for cross-context behavioral advertising.

2. What ClearHormones Editorial actually does

  • We do not sell personal information to data brokers, ad networks, or any third party for monetary consideration.
  • We do not run behavioral advertising. No retargeting pixels, no ad-platform conversion cookies. We are an affiliate-only model: when you click a partner link, we pass an anonymous click ID so commission is credited correctly — that is the entire transaction.
  • We use cookieless analytics (Plausible) by default. If you opt in to Google Analytics, we share aggregated behavior data with Google. You can disable this anytime in cookie settings.
  • We use ipapi.co for optional state detection (US-only). Your IP is sent to ipapi.co only if you explicitly opt in. Default = off.

3. How to opt out

Three ways, choose any:

  1. Cookie settings:click the “Cookie settings” link in the site footer. Switch off “Affiliate attribution”, “Plausible analytics”, and “Geo personalization”.
  2. Global Privacy Control (GPC): enable GPC in your browser (Firefox, Brave, or DuckDuckGo send GPC automatically). We treat GPC as a binding opt-out request per CCPA Regulations §7025.
  3. Email request: send an opt-out email to [email protected]with subject line “CCPA Opt-Out”. Include the email address or browser hash to opt out (if you have one with us). We respond within 15 business days as required by CCPA §1798.135(a)(5).

4. Your other CCPA / CPRA rights

  • Right to know what personal information we collect about you (CCPA §1798.110)
  • Right to delete personal information we hold about you (CCPA §1798.105)
  • Right to correct inaccurate personal information (CPRA §1798.106)
  • Right to limit use of sensitive personal information (CPRA §1798.121)
  • Right to non-discrimination — exercising your rights does not affect the price, level, or quality of service you receive.

Exercise these rights by emailing [email protected]. We will verify your identity before fulfilling.

5. Authorized agents

You may designate an authorized agent to make and request on your behalf. The agent must provide proof of authorization (a signed power of attorney or comparable document) and we may contact you directly to verify the request unless you have included a notarized power-of-attorney.

6. Minors (under 16)

We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If we learn we have, we delete it immediately. Per CCPA §1798.120(c), we will not sell or share personal information of consumers under 16 without affirmative opt-in.
