CCPA Compliance

First Tech Spot is committed to respecting your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and its amendment, the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). This page explains how these laws apply to our website and how you can exercise your rights.

Scope and Applicability

Although First Tech Spot does not collect personal information through user registration or accounts, we may automatically gather certain data via cookies, web beacons, and analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand visitor behavior and improve content. The CCPA/CPRA applies to California residents whose personal information is collected by businesses that meet specific thresholds. While we do not sell personal information for monetary consideration, we may share data with third-party service providers for analytics and advertising purposes, which may constitute "sharing" under CPRA.

Your Rights Under CCPA/CPRA

As a California resident, you have the following rights:

Right to Know: Request details about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you in the past 12 months.
Right to Delete: Request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions.
Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing: Direct us not to sell or share your personal information with third parties for targeted advertising.
Right to Non-Discrimination: You will not be denied services, charged different prices, or receive a different quality of service for exercising your rights.
Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information: You may direct us to limit the use of sensitive personal information (e.g., precise geolocation) to only what is necessary to provide services.

How We Comply

We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration. However, we may engage in "sharing" as defined under CPRA by allowing third-party analytics and advertising partners to collect data via cookies and tracking technologies for cross-context behavioral advertising. We honor global privacy controls (e.g., Global Privacy Control) and provide a clear "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link on our homepage.

Data We Process

Under CCPA/CPRA, the following categories of personal information may be collected automatically:

Identifiers: IP address, cookie identifiers, device IDs
Internet Activity: Pages visited, time spent, clicks, referral sources
Geolocation Data: Approximate location derived from IP address
Inferences: Interests inferred from browsing behavior (e.g., interest in cryptocurrency)

Legal Basis for Processing

Under CCPA/CPRA, we rely on legitimate business purposes for processing, including website functionality, analytics, security, and improving user experience. We do not process personal information for purposes unrelated to our operations.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise your CCPA/CPRA rights, please:

Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line: "CCPA Request".
Include your full name and email address associated with your browsing activity.
Specify the right you wish to exercise (e.g., "Delete my data" or "Opt-out of sharing").
For verification, we may request additional information to confirm your identity.

You may also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf by providing written permission and proof of identity.

Response Timeframes

We will acknowledge your request within 10 business days and respond fully within 45 days. If additional time is needed, we will notify you and explain the reason for the delay. We do not charge a fee to respond to requests, unless they are manifestly unfounded or excessive.

No Discrimination Policy

First Tech Spot does not and will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights under CCPA/CPRA. You will not be denied access to our content, charged higher fees, or receive a lower quality of service because you chose to opt-out or request deletion of your data.

Updates and Changes

We may update this CCPA Compliance page periodically to reflect changes in law or our practices. The most recent version will always be posted here with an updated effective date.
