California Privacy Rights

Last updated: May 18, 2026

This page describes the rights California residents have under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and how to exercise them.

Categories of personal information we collect

• Identifiers — email address (when you subscribe), IP address (logged by web server + analytics), browser/device user agent.
• Internet activity — pages you visit on our site, time on page, referrer, clicks on subscribe forms or affiliate links.
• Commercial information — none directly (we don't sell products on this site; affiliate clicks are tracked on the partner's side, not ours).
• Geolocation — only at the IP-region level via Google Analytics; not precise location.

Where we get the data

Directly from you (form submissions) and automatically (via cookies, server logs, analytics).

Why we collect it

• Deliver the Sunday letter and other emails you subscribed to.
• Measure which articles get read so we know what to write more of.
• Attribute ad performance for our paid traffic acquisition (only when you accept the cookie banner).

Do we sell or share personal information?

We do not sell your personal information. "Sale" under CCPA/CPRA includes some forms of advertising data sharing. The closest activity to that is our use of Google AdSense and Meta Pixel, which receive limited browsing data for ad delivery. You can opt out of this entirely by rejecting the cookie banner on first visit, or by setting your browser's Do Not Track signal.

Your CCPA/CPRA rights

If you are a California resident, you have the right to:

• Know what categories of personal information we've collected about you and the sources.
• Access the specific pieces of personal information we have about you.
• Delete the personal information we have about you (subject to limited exceptions like recordkeeping).
• Correct inaccurate personal information.
• Opt out of any "sale" or "sharing" of personal information (we don't sell; the closest activity is third-party ad/analytics cookies, which you control via the cookie banner).
• Limit the use of sensitive personal information (we don't intentionally collect sensitive PI — e.g., health data, precise location, government ID — but your reading patterns on health letters could be considered inference data; rejection of the cookie banner stops this).
• Non-discrimination — we won't deny you service, charge you more, or provide a lesser experience for exercising any of these rights.

How to exercise your rights

Email hello@afterfortyfeel.com with the subject line "California Privacy Request" and tell us which right you want to exercise. We'll verify your identity (typically by matching your email to one we have records of) and respond within 45 days.

Authorized agents

You can designate an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf. We'll require written proof of authorization.

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

We do not sell personal information. If our practices change, this page will be updated and we will provide a "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" mechanism.
