CCPA Compliance
Urban Chic Chronicles is committed to respecting your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and its amendment, the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). This page explains how these laws apply to our blog and how you can exercise your rights.
Scope and Applicability
Although Urban Chic Chronicles does not collect personal information through user registration or accounts, we may automatically gather certain data through cookies and web analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors interact with our content. This data may include IP addresses, browsing behavior, and device identifiers, which under CCPA/CPRA may qualify as personal information if linked or reasonably linkable to you or your household.
Your Rights Under CCPA/CPRA
As a California resident, you have the following rights:
- Right to Know: Request details about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you in the past 12 months.
- Right to Delete: Request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions.
- Right to Opt-Out: Direct us not to sell or share your personal information. We do not sell personal information, but we may use third-party cookies for analytics and advertising purposes, which may constitute "sharing" under CPRA.
- Right to Non-Discrimination: You may exercise your rights without being denied goods or services, charged different prices, or given a different level of service.
- Right to Correct: Request correction of inaccurate personal information we hold about you.
- Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information: Limit our use of sensitive personal information to only what is necessary to provide services.
How We Comply
We do not sell personal information. We use analytics tools solely for internal purposes to improve content and user experience. We do not retain personal data beyond what is necessary for analytics and website functionality. We do not collect or store names, addresses, email addresses, or other directly identifiable information unless voluntarily submitted through our contact form.
Data We Process
The following data may be collected automatically:
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Pages visited and time spent
- Cookie identifiers
- Device type and screen resolution
This data is aggregated and anonymized where possible. We do not link this data to your identity unless you voluntarily provide it through our contact form.
Legal Basis for Processing
Under CCPA/CPRA, we rely on legitimate business purposes for processing data, including website functionality, analytics, and improving user experience. We do not use data for targeted advertising or profiling.
