Do Not Sell My Personal Information

At Havrixi, we hold the conviction that your reading list is a private matter. We act as stewards of your data, not brokers. While our business is dedicated to the dissemination of literature, we are strictly opposed to the dissemination of your personal data for profit.

In adherence to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), this document articulates your rights regarding the “sale” of personal information and provides the protocol to exercise those rights.

The California Civil Code grants residents the specific legal right to direct a business not to sell their personal information to third parties. This is formally known as the “Right to Opt-Out.”

• Nationwide Application: Although this statute originates in California, Havrixi has elected to extend these privacy protections to all our patrons across the United States, regardless of residency. We believe data dignity should be universal.

To ensure complete transparency, it is necessary to distinguish between a “monetary sale” and a “technical sale” under the law.

• Does Havrixi sell data for profit? Absolutely not. We do not trade, rent, or exchange your identity, email, or literary preferences with data brokers or marketing firms for currency.
• The Legal Definition: Under the expansive definition of the CCPA, the transfer of certain technical identifiers (such as browser cookies, IP addresses, or device IDs) to advertising networks (like Google or social media platforms) for the purpose of personalized advertising can be classified as a “sale.” Because we value your autonomy, we provide the mechanism to opt-out of this specific type of data sharing.

To maintain a secure audit trail and ensure accurate processing, we administer all opt-out requests exclusively via digital correspondence.

Procedure to Exercise Your Right:

1. Direct Correspondence: Please send an email to contact@havrixi.com.

2. Subject Header: To ensure immediate classification, please use the subject line: “CCPA Opt-Out Request”.

3. Required Details: In the body of the email, please verify:

   • Your Full Name.
   • The Email Address associated with your browsing or purchasing history.

Upon receipt of your request, we initiate the following authentication process:

• Identity Verification: We may send a follow-up email to confirm that the request originates from the verified owner of the email address. This step is critical to prevent fraudulent alterations to your privacy settings.
• Adjudication Time: We endeavor to process and confirm your opt-out status within 10 business days. While the statute permits up to 45 days, our administrative team aims for a much more expedited resolution.

We strictly adhere to the principle of equal service. Exercising your privacy rights will never result in:

• Denial of goods or services.
• Application of different pricing structures or rates for books.
• Provision of an inferior quality of customer support.

Your standing as a valued reader at Havrixi remains unchanged, irrespective of your data privacy choices.

• Service Provider Exception: Please be advised that opting out of “selling” does not impede our ability to transfer data to “Service Providers” where necessary for business operations. For instance, we must transmit your shipping coordinates to our distribution partners and logistics carriers (FedEx/UPS/USPS) to effectuate the delivery of your books. This is a statutory exemption required to fulfill your contract with us.
• Browser-Level Control: Beyond contacting us, you may also manage data collection by utilizing the “Global Privacy Control” (GPC) signals or configuring your web browser to reject third-party tracking scripts.
