Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Effective Date: September 25, 2025
At Bookseedlings, we hold a deep respect for our readers and their privacy. This page is dedicated to informing California residents about their rights under the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) and providing a clear way to exercise the right to opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information.
1. Your Rights Under California Law
As a California resident, the law grants you specific rights to control your personal information. These include:
-
The Right to Know: To request details about the personal information we collect, use, and disclose.
-
The Right to Delete: To request the deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions.
-
The Right to Correct: To request the correction of inaccurate personal information we hold about you.
-
The Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing: To direct us not to sell or share your personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising.
-
The Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Information: To limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information.
-
The Right to Non-Discrimination: To not be discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights.
For a comprehensive overview, please see our main Privacy Policy.
2. What “Selling” and “Sharing” Mean to Us
First and foremost, Bookseedlings does not sell your personal information, like your name or email address, to data brokers for monetary gain.
Under the CPRA, the terms “sell” and “share” are defined broadly. They can include activities where we make certain information available to our third-party advertising partners to provide you with more relevant, interest-based advertising.
-
Example: If you view a specific cookbook on our site, we may use advertising services that later show you an ad for that book on another website or social media platform. This use of online tracking technologies (like cookies) may be considered a “sale” or “share” under California law.
3. Your Opt-Out Instructions
You have the right to opt-out of this “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information at any time. You can do so through the following methods:
-
Via Our Online Request Form: The most efficient way to submit your request is by completing our dedicated privacy form. Contact
-
Via Email: You can also email your request to [email protected]. Please use the subject line “California Privacy Opt-Out Request” so we can process it promptly.
-
Via Global Privacy Control (GPC): We also honor opt-out preference signals sent by browsers and plugins that support the Global Privacy Control (GPC). If we detect a GPC signal from your system, we will automatically treat it as a valid opt-out request for your browser.
4. Our Verification Process
To protect your information from fraudulent requests, we are required to verify your identity before acting on your request. We will do so by matching the information you provide in your request (such as your name, email, and a recent order number) with the information we have in our records.
If you choose to use an authorized agent, we may require written permission from you and may also need to verify your identity directly.
5. After You Opt Out: Important Information
-
Opting out will not stop you from seeing all ads from Bookseedlings. You may still see general advertisements that are not targeted based on your personal information.
-
This opt-out is separate from our marketing email list. To stop receiving promotional emails, please use the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any email we send you.
