California Privacy Notice

This section explains additional privacy protections available to residents of California under applicable state law. It applies specifically to personal information as defined by those laws and does not extend to data that has been anonymized, aggregated, or is otherwise publicly accessible. The purpose of this notice is to provide greater transparency into how personal data is collected, used, stored, and shared, as well as to outline the rights individuals have regarding their information.

Various types of personal information may be collected in the course of providing services. This can include basic identifying details such as a person’s name, email address, mailing address, and telephone number, as well as digital identifiers associated with online activity. Information about how individuals interact with websites or services may also be gathered, along with records of purchases or other transactions. Financial details necessary to complete transactions, such as payment card information, may be processed securely. In addition, general or precise location data may be collected depending on how services are used. Professional or employment-related information, direct communications with customers, and insights derived from collected data may also form part of the information maintained. When data is deidentified, it is handled in a way that prevents it from being linked back to a specific individual.

Personal data may also be obtained from external sources, including analytics providers or business partners, to enhance services and better understand customer needs. The length of time such information is retained depends on several factors, including the duration of the customer relationship, legal obligations, and legitimate business needs such as resolving disputes or complying with regulatory requirements.

The information collected is used for a range of operational and business purposes. These include processing transactions, delivering customer support, improving products and services, conducting research or surveys, preventing fraud, complying with legal obligations, and providing promotional communications. Data may also be used to personalize experiences, including delivering advertisements that are more relevant to user interests.

In order to carry out these functions, personal information may be shared with service providers and third parties who assist with business operations. These may include technology providers, payment processors, marketing partners, analytics services, and shipping providers. Some of this sharing may be considered “selling” or “sharing” under California law, particularly when information is used for targeted advertising. Individuals have the right to opt out of such practices.

Consumers under the age of sixteen are afforded additional protections, and their personal information is not knowingly sold or shared for targeted advertising purposes. Additionally, certain browser-based privacy signals may automatically communicate a user’s preference to opt out of data sharing. When such signals are recognized, steps are taken to respect those preferences within the scope of available technology.

California residents are granted specific rights regarding their personal information. These include the ability to request access to the data collected about them, request deletion of their information subject to certain exceptions, and request corrections to inaccurate data. Individuals also have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of their information and to receive equal service regardless of whether they choose to exercise these rights. Exercising these rights will not result in discrimination, such as different pricing or reduced service quality.

To protect user privacy, requests related to personal data are subject to a verification process to confirm the identity of the individual making the request. In some cases, authorized representatives may act on behalf of a consumer, provided appropriate authorization and verification steps are completed.

If individuals have questions about privacy practices or encounter difficulties accessing information, they may contact the organization directly by email at drbronnerus@outlook.com or by phone at (845)475-9851. Concerns that cannot be resolved directly may be brought to the attention of appropriate regulatory authorities within the state of California.
