Exercising Your CCPA Rights

To exercise your rights under the CCPA, you may submit a verifiable consumer request to us using the contact information below:

Email: [email protected]
Subject Line: “CCPA Privacy Request”

Your request must provide sufficient information to verify your identity and clearly describe your request. Digital Dive reserves the right to confirm your identity before processing any requests.

Authorized Agents

You may designate an authorized agent to make CCPA requests on your behalf. Your authorized agent must provide written authorization signed by you and proof of their authority to represent you. We may also require additional verification.

Response Timing

Digital Dive will respond to verified consumer requests within 45 calendar days. If we require additional time (up to 90 days total), we will inform you of the extension and reasons for the delay.

Do Not Track (DNT) Disclosure

California law requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser “Do Not Track” signals. Currently, Digital Dive does not respond to DNT signals because there is no uniform industry standard.

Data Security Measures

We maintain appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, or modification. However, no data transmission over the internet is entirely secure. Digital Dive cannot guarantee absolute data security.

Digital Dive-managed websites may contain links to third-party websites. Digital Dive is not responsible for privacy practices or content provided by third parties. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of external websites.

Changes to This CCPA Policy

Digital Dive reserves the right to update or modify this CCPA Policy periodically. We encourage you to periodically review this policy for any updates. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting on our website.
