Last Updated: 29-05-2024

At Whirl Whisper, we are dedicated to safeguarding the privacy and personal data of our users. This notice informs California residents about their rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and explains how we collect, use, and share personal information. It also provides details on how you can exercise your CCPA rights effectively.

Your CCPA Rights

If you are a California resident, you have the following rights under the CCPA:

  • Right to Know – You can request details about the personal data we collect, including the categories of data, sources of collection, the purpose of data collection, and the third parties with whom we share your data.
  • Right to Access – You have the right to request a copy of the personal information we have collected about you in the past 12 months.
