CCPA Compliance

SwapStats is committed to respecting your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and its amendments under the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). This page explains how these laws apply to our informational website and how you can exercise your rights.

Scope and Applicability

Although SwapStats does not require user registration or store personal information in a database, we may collect certain personal data automatically through website analytics, cookies, and server logs. This includes IP addresses, browser types, device identifiers, and usage patterns. Under the CCPA/CPRA, such data qualifies as "personal information" when it can reasonably be linked to a specific consumer or household.

Your Rights Under CCPA/CPRA

As a California resident, you have the following rights:

• Right to Know: You may 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 may request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions under the law.
• 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 SwapStats does not sell personal information for monetary consideration, we may allow third-party analytics providers to collect data for advertising purposes, which may constitute "sharing" under CPRA.
• Right to Non-Discrimination: You may exercise your rights without being denied goods or services, charged different prices, or given a different level of service.
• Right to Correct: You may request correction of inaccurate personal information we hold about you.

How We Comply

SwapStats does not maintain user accounts or store personally identifiable data beyond what is necessary for website functionality and analytics. We use third-party tools (e.g., Google Analytics) that may collect anonymized or pseudonymized data. We do not intentionally sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We honor browser-based opt-out signals and provide a clear mechanism to submit requests.

Data We Process

Under CCPA/CPRA, the personal information we may collect includes:

• IP addresses
• Browser and device identifiers
• Pages visited and time spent on site
• Referral sources
• Cookie and tracking technology data

This data is collected solely for analytical purposes to improve website performance and user experience.

Legal Basis for Processing

Our processing of personal information is based on legitimate interest — specifically, to ensure website security, analyze traffic patterns, and enhance user experience. We do not process personal information for purposes beyond these without your explicit consent, where required.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise your CCPA/CPRA rights, please contact us via email at [email protected] with the subject line: "CCPA Request". Include your full name, email address, and a clear description of your request. We may ask for additional information to verify your identity, such as your postal address or details about your recent website activity.

Response Timeframes

We will acknowledge your request within 10 business days and respond fully within 45 days. If more time is needed, we will notify you and explain the reason for the delay. Under CPRA, we may extend the response period by an additional 45 days if reasonably necessary.

No Discrimination Policy

SwapStats does not and will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights under the CCPA/CPRA. You will not be denied access to our website, charged different rates, or provided a lower quality of service because you made a request.

Updates and Changes

We may update this CCPA Compliance page periodically to reflect changes in law or our practices. Any material changes will be posted here with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this page regularly.
