🚫 Do Not Sell or Share Personal Information

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of their personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

How We Define "Sale" and "Sharing"

Under the CCPA/CPRA, "sale" means selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a consumer's personal information by a business to a third party for valuable consideration. "Sharing" refers to joint profiling across contexts.

We do not sell your personal information in the traditional sense. However, our sharing of certain data with advertising partners for cross-context behavioral advertising may constitute a "sale" under the CCPA/CPRA definition.

How to Opt Out

Global Privacy Control (GPC)

If you have enabled GPC in your browser or device, we will honor your signal and automatically opt you out of sales and sharing of your personal information.

⚠️ Limitations & Exceptions

Your rights are important to us, but they are not absolute. Certain legal obligations and practical considerations may limit how we respond to requests.

When We May Not Comply

We may limit or deny a request in the following circumstances:

  • Legal Retention Obligations: We are required by law to retain certain data for specified periods (e.g., financial records for tax purposes, incident logs for security purposes).
  • Legal Claims: Retention may be necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
  • Security Risks: We may deny requests that would jeopardize the security of our systems, networks, or other users.
  • Third-Party Rights: Your request may affect the rights and freedoms of other individuals, and we may need to balance these competing interests.
  • Excessive Requests: Manifestly unfounded or excessive requests may be subject to a reasonable fee or be refused.
  • Public Interest: Processing necessary for reasons of public interest, particularly in the areas of public health and scientific research, may override certain rights.

Appeals Process

If your request is denied, you have the right to appeal our decision. To file an appeal:

  1. Check the denial email for specific instructions and the reason for denial.
  2. Submit an appeal to appeals@cloudnexus.com within 30 days of receiving the denial.
  3. Our senior privacy team will review your appeal and provide a final response within 30 days.
  4. If you remain dissatisfied, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
🏛️ Regulatory Complaints

If you believe we have not addressed your concern satisfactorily, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. For EEA users, this is the data protection authority in your country of residence, employment, or the alleged infringement. For US residents, the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) handles CCPA/CPRA complaints.
