California Online Privacy Protection Act

CalOPPA requires commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law's reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites or online services such as mobile applications, collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers, to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website or online service, stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared. See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf.

According to CalOPPA, when applicable, deWeb agrees to the following:

Once this Privacy Policy is created, we will make it accessible to you.
A Privacy Policy link will be noticeable, as it will conspicuously include the word 'Privacy'.
You can request to change your Personal Information by emailing us at: contact@deweb.io.

California Privacy Rights

The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) permits users who are California residents to request to exercise certain rights. If you are a California resident, the CCPA grants you the right to request certain information about our practices with respect to your Personal Information. In particular, you can request the following:

The categories and specific pieces of your Personal Information that we have collected.
The categories of sources from which we collected your Personal Information.
The business or commercial purposes for which we collected your Personal Information.
The categories of third parties with which we shared your Personal Information.

You can be rest assured that we do not sell your Personal Information. If you choose to exercise your rights, we will not charge you different prices or provide different quality of our Services, unless those differences are related to your provision of your Personal Information.

Please note that we will be required to verify your identity and request before we are able to comply with your requests. As a part of this process, government identification may be required.

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. Any disclosures we provide, will only cover the 12 months period preceding your verifiable request's receipt. If, for some reason, we cannot reply within such a time frame, our response will include an explanation for our inability to comply. If you wish to exercise your CCPA rights, please contact us at: contact@deweb.io .

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

Deny you goods or services.
Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
Provide you with a different level or quality of goods or services.
Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
