Selling Your Personal Information

Under the CCPA, a “sale” of personal information includes selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating personal information to another business or a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration.

My Bike Review does not sell your personal information. We may engage in transactions that constitute a “sale” only in limited circumstances, such as with your explicit consent or as part of a business transfer as described above.

Your CCPA Rights

As a California resident, you have the following rights regarding your personal information:

Right to Know

You have the right to request that we disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you in the past 12 months, the categories of sources from which the personal information was collected, the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling the personal information, and the categories of third parties with whom we share personal information.

Right to Delete

You have the right to request the deletion of the personal information that we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions (e.g., information necessary to complete a transaction and comply with a legal obligation).

Right to Opt-Out

You have the right to direct us to stop selling your personal information. Since My Bike Review does not sell your personal information, this right primarily applies to opting out of the sale of personal information to third parties.

Right to Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. This includes denying you services, charging different prices, or providing a different level of service based on your exercise of your CCPA rights.

Your request must include:

1. Verification Information: Sufficient information to verify your identity (e.g., your name, email address, and any other information we may have collected about you).
2. Description of Request: A clear description of the CCPA right you are exercising (e.g., “I am requesting a copy of all my personal information that you have collected,” or “I am requesting the deletion of my personal information”).

Please note:

• We will respond to your request within the timeframe required by law.
• We may require additional information to verify your identity before processing your request.
• We reserve the right to refuse a request if it is not sufficiently detailed, not verifiable, or if it falls under certain exceptions as outlined in the CCPA.
