California Privacy Notice (CCPA)
Introduction and Scope
This California Privacy Notice builds on the Inboxico.com Privacy Policy and is directed to people, registered users, and other individuals located in California ("California consumers" or "you"). We publish this notice to fulfill obligations under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (together, the "CCPA"). Any terms defined by the CCPA retain their statutory meaning throughout this notice.
Categories of Personal Information Collected
Over the preceding twelve (12) months, Inboxico.com may have obtained the following categories of personal information concerning California consumers: identifiers such as IP address and email address upon subscription; internet or network activity including site browsing patterns, referring URL, and request timestamp; coarse-grained geolocation data at the city level inferred from IP address; commercial information reflecting newsletter enrollment choices; inferences based on collected data such as aggregated content interests; and audio or visual information solely when you voluntarily provide it through our Contact form or similar channels, such as a photograph submitted alongside a news tip.
Sources of Personal Information
Personal information about California consumers originates from several sources: you as the direct source during subscription, contact interactions, and tip submissions; your browser and device in the form of request headers, IP address, and cookie identifiers; and our select group of operational service providers handling hosting, content delivery, email services, and analytics. Inboxico.com does not acquire personal information from data brokers and maintains no practice of selling contact lists.
Business and Commercial Purposes
Inboxico.com uses personal information in service of specific business objectives: fulfilling your content delivery requests; transmitting newsletter editions you have explicitly opted into; responding to inquiries submitted via our Contact and comparable forms; compiling anonymized usage metrics to guide editorial and advertising strategy; protecting the platform from fraud and malicious activity; and meeting our legal and regulatory duties under California law and other jurisdictions' requirements.
Disclosure to Service Providers and Third Parties
Personal information is disclosed by Inboxico.com exclusively to a limited group of service providers acting in our service and solely to accomplish the purposes laid out in this notice. These vendors are contractually obligated to employ the information only for the specified service delivery and must remove it upon contract termination or when the service no longer requires retention. We refrain from furnishing personal information to unaffiliated parties for their own marketing or business objectives.
Sale and Sharing of Personal Information
Inboxico.com neither sells personal information nor engages in sharing of personal information for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising under the statutory definition of those terms in the CCPA. During the most recent twelve (12) months, we have not sold or shared any California consumer's personal information, including that of any consumer under age 16, nor do we possess actual knowledge of any such transaction having occurred.
Sensitive Personal Information
Inboxico.com refrains from collecting sensitive personal information belonging to California consumers except insofar as it may appear incidentally in materials you choose to submit on your own initiative, such as a communication you send using the Contact form. We do not rely on sensitive personal information as the basis for inferring attributes or characteristics about you, and therefore you retain no right-to-limit request that applies to us. Any limitation you wish to place on our forward-looking use is naturally within your power to request.
Your California Privacy Rights
California consumers possess the following entitlements under the CCPA: (1) knowledge regarding the personal information we have compiled, encompassing information categories, collection sources, use purposes, and third-party categories receiving disclosure; (2) access to the specific personal information we maintain; (3) correction of inaccurate personal information; (4) removal of personal information through deletion requests; (5) cessation of any sale or sharing of personal information, should it occur; (6) ability to restrict our deployment of sensitive personal information; and (7) freedom from adverse treatment as a result of asserting any of these entitlements.
How to Exercise Your Rights
To submit a verifiable consumer request under the CCPA, reach out to Inboxico.com via the Contact form or the email address displayed on our Contact page. To safeguard against unauthorized access requests, we employ appropriate verification techniques based on information we have on file — ordinarily through email address confirmation linked to an active subscription or cross-referencing identifiers you supply with our existing database. Verified requests receive our response within 45 days as mandated by law, with a single additional 45-day extension available when circumstances warrant.
An authorized agent, including a privacy-rights firm or licensed attorney, may lodge a CCPA request in the name of a California consumer. Inboxico.com will demand documented authorization from the consumer or a lawful power of attorney, and reserves the option to reach out to the consumer independently to authenticate the agent and verify the request. We retain discretion to reject requests failing to comply with the CCPA's authorization and verification specifications.
Consumers Under 16 Years of Age
Inboxico.com does not sell or share personal information of minors under the age of 16 and maintains no actual knowledge of collecting information from children below age 13. Should we ever contemplate selling or sharing personal information related to individuals aged 13 through 15, we would proceed exclusively with that individual's informed, affirmative consent (opt-in) as mandated by the CCPA. Guardians and parents have authority to submit deletion requests on their minor children's behalf by way of the Contact form.
Right to Non-Discrimination
Inboxico.com embraces the CCPA's core tenet against discriminatory response: we will not differentiate treatment of California consumers on the basis of their decision to use CCPA rights. No premium subscription tier or paid service exists wherein consumers who assert these rights experience diminished access — all users see identical editorial material. We do not extend cash incentives or other financial inducements in trade for personal information collection.
Retention of Personal Information
Inboxico.com keeps personal information obtained from California consumers only as long as needed to accomplish the stated purposes plus any timeframe mandated by law. In practice: subscription email addresses are kept for the duration of enrollment; contact-form data persists for up to 24 months; web server logs are archived for up to 90 days; non-identifying aggregate usage analytics may be preserved longer term.
