If you are a California resident, California Civil Code Section 1798.120 may permit you to "opt out" of the "sale" of your "personal information" to "third parties" (as those terms are defined in the CCPA).

BrainyQuote displays advertising. To opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information with our third party advertising partners, click below. Your choice is recorded for this browser by Google’s certified consent management tool, which our advertising partners honor.

Personal information we collect

This notice supplements our Privacy Policy and applies to California residents under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CCPA/CPRA"). Residents of other U.S. states with similar privacy laws may exercise the equivalent rights described here. In the last 12 months we have collected the following categories of personal information from Site visitors: identifiers (online identifiers stored in cookies, including a first-party SharedID advertising identifier, IP address, and device identifiers); internet or other electronic network activity information (the pages you view on the Site, interactions with pages and ads, browser and device type, and referring pages); and approximate (non-precise) geolocation (country/region derived from IP address). We collect this information directly from your browser or device when you use the Site. We do not collect precise geolocation, and because the Site requires no account, we do not collect names, email addresses (except when you email us), or other contact details in the ordinary course.

How we "sell" or "share" personal information

We do not sell personal information for money. However, like most ad-supported websites, we disclose certain information to advertising partners for cross-context behavioral advertising, which the CCPA/CPRA defines as a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. Categories sold or shared: identifiers (cookie-based advertising identifiers), internet activity information (page context and ad interactions), and approximate location. Categories of recipients: advertising networks, advertising exchanges and supply-side platforms, and our advertising server (Google Ad Manager); the full partner list is available in our consent manager via the button above. Purpose: selecting, delivering, and measuring the advertising that funds the Site. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age, and we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information as defined by the CCPA/CPRA.

Your rights

You have the right to: opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information; know what personal information we have collected, sold, or shared; request deletion of personal information; request correction of inaccurate personal information; and be free from discrimination for exercising these rights.

How your opt-out works

Your opt-out is recorded for this browser by Google's certified consent management tool, and our advertising partners honor it — identifiers are not shared for opted-out browsers, and ads become non-personalized. Because the choice is stored in your browser, you will need to opt out separately on each browser and device you use, and again if you clear cookies. We also treat the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal as a valid opt-out request for the browser sending it.

How to exercise other rights

Email service2b@brainyquote.com with the subject "Privacy". We will verify and respond to requests as the CCPA/CPRA requires. Because the Site has no accounts, most data we hold is not linked to your name or contact information; where we cannot verifiably associate stored data with you, we will tell you. You may designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf.

Retention

We retain each category of personal information for as long as needed for the purposes described in our Privacy Policy — our analytics data is retained for 14 months, and advertising identifiers and activity data are retained per our ad partners' published retention periods — or as required by law.
