# California privacy notice (CCPA)

Your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the CPRA, and how to use them.

Last updated 3 November 2026

The short version

- We do not sell your personal information.
- We do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.
- You can ask to know, correct or delete your personal information.
- We won't treat you differently for using your rights.

This notice applies to California residents and adds to our [privacy policy](https://www.certanza.app/privacy) .

## Personal information we collect

In the last 12 months we have collected these categories of personal information:

- **Identifiers:** your email address and IP address; for affiliates, name and PayPal email.
- **Commercial information:** the reports and rescans you buy (card details are handled by Stripe, not us).
- **Internet or other electronic activity:** the website you ask us to scan, and anonymous statistics about pages viewed on our site. With your consent, Google Analytics data.
- **Approximate location:** your country, from your device's time zone or your connection, used to show prices in the right currency.

We do not collect sensitive personal information as defined by the CCPA.

## Where it comes from and why we use it

We collect it from you, from your device when you use our site, and from the public pages of the website you submit. We use it to provide your scan and report, take payment, run your account, prevent abuse, keep the service secure and improve our checks. We keep it for the periods set out in our [privacy policy](https://www.certanza.app/privacy) .

## Who we disclose it to

We disclose personal information only to service providers that help us run Certanza (hosting, payments, email, page fetching and analysis, and analytics if you consent), under contracts that limit how they can use it. The full list is in our [privacy policy](https://www.certanza.app/privacy) .

## No sale or sharing

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising. We have not done so in the last 12 months, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16.

## Your California rights

- **Right to know:** the categories and specific pieces of personal information we've collected about you, where it came from, why, and who we've disclosed it to.
- **Right to delete:** ask us to delete personal information we collected from you.
- **Right to correct:** ask us to correct inaccurate personal information.
- **Right to opt out of sale or sharing:** we don't sell or share, so there's nothing to opt out of, but you can still contact us.
- **Right to non-discrimination:** we won't charge you more or give you a worse service for using these rights.

## How to make a request

Email [support@certanza.app](mailto:support@certanza.app) with "California privacy request" in the subject line.
