CCPA Compliance

Wide Awake Investing 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 as a California resident. isrameds.com

Scope and Applicability

This CCPA compliance page applies to all visitors from the state of California. While Wide Awake Investing does not collect personal information through user registration or accounts, we do use cookies and web analytics tools that may collect certain identifiers such as IP addresses, browsing behavior, and device information. These activities may constitute the collection of "personal information" under the CCPA/CPRA.

Your Rights Under CCPA/CPRA

As a California resident, you have the following rights:

Right to Know: You can request details about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you in the past 12 months.
Right to Delete: You can request the deletion of your personal information we have collected, subject to certain 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 allow third-party analytics and advertising partners to collect data via cookies for targeted purposes, which may constitute "sharing" under CPRA.
Right to Non-Discrimination: You will not be denied services, charged different prices, or receive a different level of service for exercising your CCPA/CPRA rights.
Right to Authorize an Agent: You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. We may require proof of your identity and the agent’s authorization before processing the request.

How We Comply

We do not maintain a user database or collect personally identifiable information through forms, logins, or subscriptions. The personal information we collect is limited to anonymous identifiers through third-party tools like Google Analytics and cookie-based tracking for site performance and advertising optimization. We do not retain this data beyond what is necessary for analytical purposes and comply with industry-standard data retention limits.

Data We Process

Under CCPA/CPRA, the following categories of personal information may be collected:

Internet or other electronic network activity (e.g., pages visited, time spent, clickstream data)
Device identifiers and IP addresses
Geolocation data (approximate, derived from IP)
Usage data related to site interactions

Legal Basis for Processing

Our processing of personal information is based on legitimate business interests, including website functionality, analytics, and improving user experience. We do not process personal information for targeted advertising without your consent where required, and we honor opt-out signals such as Global Privacy Control (GPC).
