Do Not Sell My Personal Information.

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and CPRA give you the power to control how your personal information is used. At Privacy Best Practices, we believe privacy is a human right, especially for innovators and startups building the next generation of tech. This page explains our practices and how you can exercise your rights.

​

Last Updated: April 11, 2026

What is "Selling"?

Under the CCPA, "selling" means disclosing personal information to a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration. This is often associated with data brokers or ad networks.

What is "Sharing"?

"Sharing" refers specifically to disclosing data for cross-context behavioral advertising (delivering ads based on your activity across different websites). At Privacy Best Practices, we don't engage in this practice.

How We Use Your Data

Privacy Best Practices is a consulting firm focused on data privacy and responsible AI ethics. We are not an ad-tech company. We use your data exclusively to provide expert consulting services, manage our client relationships, and improve our educational resources. We never sell your data to brokers or share it for targeted advertising campaigns.

Types of data that may be involved:
  • Contact Information (Name, email, professional affiliation)
  • Technical Identifiers (IP address, browser type for analytics) - Google Analytics IP detection is turned off by default on this website.
  • Business Information (Project details shared during consulting sessions)
  • Sensitive Data (Only if explicitly provided for specific compliance audits)

The Right to Opt Out and Limit Use

You have the absolute right to direct us not to "sell" or "share" your personal information. Additionally, you have the right to request that we limit the use and disclosure of your sensitive personal information to only those purposes necessary to perform our services.

This request is specifically designed for individuals who have directly and genuinely shared their personal information with us through the following channels on this website:

​

Your Email Address: [Enter the email address you used when contacting us or using our services.]

​

Request Details:

​

Please describe the nature of your previous interaction with our site. This helps us verify that you are a legitimate inquirer and not a spam request. For example:

​

What Happens After You Submit?

  1. Verification (Up to 15 Days): We will review your email to confirm it meets the eligibility criteria outlined above. We will verify that the request is related to a genuine enquiry made through this website.

  2. Confirmation: Once verified, we will process your request to opt you out of any data "sales" as defined by the CCPA. We will ensure your personal information is not shared with third parties for commercial purposes going forward.

  3. Response: We will reply to your email to confirm that your DNSMPI request has been honoured.

 

Important Note: Honouring this request does not mean we delete your information entirely if we still need it to provide you with ongoing services you have requested (for example, if you have an active support ticket). It specifically means we will stop selling or sharing it.

Authorized Agents

You may use an authorized agent to submit an opt-out request on your behalf. Authorized agents must provide a signed written permission from you. We may also require you to verify your own identity directly with us or confirm that you provided the agent permission to submit the request.

A Note on Spam and Unrelated Requests

We are committed to protecting the privacy of genuine visitors. Any requests submitted that are identified as spam, unrelated to this site's services, or originating from third-party marketing lists shall not be considered valid under this CCPA process.

This policy is in place to ensure we can dedicate our resources to protecting the privacy rights of our actual customers and community members.

Frequently Asked Questions About CCPA & DNSMPI

Q: Does this site actually sell my data?


We believe in ethical data practices. However, the CCPA definition of "sale" can include the use of standard analytics or advertising cookies that help us understand site traffic. By submitting this request, you are ensuring that any such activity that falls under the legal definition of "sale" is halted for your specific data profile.

 

Q: What if I am not a California resident?
 

While this specific page is designed to meet CCPA requirements for California residents, we respect the privacy of all our visitors. If you are located in the EU, UK, or elsewhere and wish to enquire about your data, please visit our main [Privacy Policy] page or contact us directly.

 

Q: How long does the opt-out last?


We will maintain your opt-out preference indefinitely unless you notify us otherwise or submit a new enquiry that explicitly authorises a different use of data.
