California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) Notice

Last Updated: December 2, 2025


This California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA") Notice supplements the information contained in our Privacy Policy and applies solely to residents of the State of California. OpenClassActions.com ("we," "us," or "our") provides this notice to comply with California privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (CPRA).

Your Rights Under the CCPA

As a California resident, you have specific rights regarding your personal information. Below is a summary of your rights and how to exercise them:

1. Right to Know

You have the right to request that we disclose the following information about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months:

• The categories of personal information we have collected about you
• The categories of sources from which we collected the personal information
• Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information
• The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information
• The specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you

2. Right to Delete

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and verify your request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:

• Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information
• Provide a good or service that you requested
• Perform a contract between us and you
• Detect security incidents and protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity
• Debug to identify and repair errors that impair existing functionality
• Comply with a legal obligation
• Make other internal and lawful uses of that information compatible with the context in which you provided it

3. Right to Correct

You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information that we maintain about you, taking into account the nature of the personal information and the purposes for processing it.

4. Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing

You have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information to third parties. Under the CCPA, "sale" includes disclosing personal information to a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration, and "sharing" includes disclosing personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes.

Important Notice: OpenClassActions.com does not sell personal information in the traditional sense. However, we may share certain information with third-party partners for advertising and analytics purposes, which may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" under the CCPA's broad definitions.

To opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, please:

• Email us at ccpa@openclassactions.com with the subject line "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information"
• Include your full name, email address, and California residency confirmation

5. Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information

If we collect sensitive personal information (such as Social Security numbers, financial account information, precise geolocation, or health information), you have the right to limit how we use and disclose such information.

6. Right to Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

• Deny you goods or services
• Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services
• Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services
• Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

OpenClassActions.com uses cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors use the website. These tools help us improve site performance, analyze traffic, remember user preferences, and deliver relevant content.

We currently use:

• Google Analytics cookies. These cookies measure traffic patterns and website performance.
• PHP session cookies for basic site functionality such as navigation and load balancing.
• Advertising and analytics cookies from Google used for aggregated performance reporting.

We do not use cookies to store Sensitive Personal Information or payment data. You can control cookies through your browser settings or opt out of Google Analytics by using their browser settings tool.

Sensitive Personal Information

We do not collect or process Sensitive Personal Information as defined under the California Privacy Rights Act. This includes Social Security numbers, driver license numbers, precise geolocation, financial account numbers, racial or ethnic origin, health information, or biometric data. Because we do not collect Sensitive Personal Information, the right to limit the use of this data does not apply to OpenClassActions.com.

Sale or Sharing of Personal Information

OpenClassActions.com does not sell personal information to third parties. We may send email newsletters such as sending affiliate marketing emails and partner offers. We only communicate to subscribers that have opted in to received communications via contact form on our website such as on our newsletter sign up forms available throughout the site.

We may share identifiers such as IP address and general device information with Google Analytics to understand website usage. This type of data sharing may be considered "sharing" under California law because it can be used for cross-context behavioral advertising.

You may opt out of this type of sharing by submitting a request using the methods described on this page, such as contacting us at ccpa@openclassaction.com or privacy@openclassactions.com.

We may disclose your personal information to the following categories of third parties:

How to Submit a CCPA Request

To exercise any of your rights under the CCPA, you may submit a verifiable consumer request by contacting us through one of the following methods:

What to Include in Your Request

To help us process your request efficiently, please include the following information:

• Your full legal name
• Your email address (the one you used to interact with our website, if applicable)
• Your California mailing address
• A clear description of the right(s) you wish to exercise (e.g., "Right to Delete," "Right to Know," "Right to Opt-Out")
• Any additional information that may help us locate your records

Verification Process

Upon receiving your request, we will need to verify your identity before processing it. This helps protect your personal information from unauthorized access or deletion. The verification process may include:

• Confirming your email address by sending a verification link
• Matching the information you provide with information we already have on file
• Requesting additional documentation if we cannot verify your identity through other means

You may also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. If you use an authorized agent, we may require proof that you have provided the agent with power of attorney or written authorization, and we may still verify your identity directly.

Response Timing

We will respond to verifiable consumer requests within 45 days of receipt. If we need additional time (up to 90 days total), we will notify you of the reason and extension period in writing. Any disclosures we provide will cover only the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your request.

Financial Incentives

We do not offer any financial incentives or price or service differences in exchange for the retention or sale of your personal information.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Our website does not currently respond to "Do Not Track" signals. However, you may opt out of certain tracking by adjusting your browser settings, using our opt-out methods described above, or visiting the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Minors Under Age 16

We do not knowingly collect, sell, or share personal information of consumers under 16 years of age. If you are a parent or guardian and believe we have collected information from a minor, please contact us immediately at ccpa@openclassactions.com.
