CCPA Compliance
OffTheHype 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 OffTheHype does not collect personal information through user registration or account creation, we may automatically gather certain data through cookies, web beacons, and analytics tools when you visit our site. This includes IP addresses, browser type, device information, and browsing behavior. Under the CCPA/CPRA, this qualifies as "personal information" if it can be linked or reasonably associated with you or your household.
Your Rights Under CCPA/CPRA
As a California resident, you have the following rights:
- Right to Know: You can request details about the personal information we have collected about you in the past 12 months, including the categories and sources of that information.
- Right to Delete: You may request that we delete any personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain legal exceptions.
- Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing: You have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information. While we do not sell personal information for monetary consideration, we may share data with third-party analytics and advertising partners, which may constitute "sharing" under CPRA.
- Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not deny, charge different prices, or provide a different level of service because you exercised your CCPA/CPRA rights.
- Right to Correct: You may request correction of inaccurate personal information we hold about you.
How We Comply
OffTheHype does not maintain a database of personally identifiable user profiles. We use third-party tools (such as Google Analytics and advertising pixels) that may collect data for analytical purposes. We have implemented measures to ensure compliance with CCPA/CPRA, including:
- Providing a clear "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link on our homepage
- Using cookie consent banners that allow users to manage tracking preferences
- Limiting data retention to only what is necessary for site functionality and analytics
Data We Process
Under CCPA/CPRA, the personal information we may collect includes:
- Internet or other electronic network activity information (e.g., pages visited, time spent, clicks)
- Device identifiers and IP addresses
- Geolocation data (approximate, derived from IP)
- Usage patterns related to our content and tools
Legal Basis for Processing
We rely on legitimate interest to process data for site analytics, security, and improving user experience. We do not sell personal information for financial gain, but we may share it with service providers under contracts that restrict their use of the data.

To exercise your CCPA/CPRA rights, please submit a request by emailing us at [email protected] with the subject line: "CCPA/CPRA Request". Include your full name, California address, and specify the right you wish to exercise. We may request additional information to verify your identity.

We will acknowledge your request within 10 business days and respond fully within 45 days. If we need additional time, we will notify you and explain the reason for the delay. We may extend the response period by an additional 45 days if reasonably necessary.
No Discrimination Policy
OffTheHype will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights under the CCPA/CPRA. You will not be denied access to our content, charged different rates, or receive a different level of service because you chose to opt out, delete your data, or request access.
