California Privacy Notice (CCPA)
Introduction and Scope
This California Privacy Notice supplements the Loannorvico Privacy Policy and applies solely to visitors, users, and others who reside in the State of California ("California consumers" or "you"). We provide this notice to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, the "CCPA"). Terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this notice.
Categories of Personal Information Collected
In the past twelve (12) months Loannorvico may have collected the following categories of personal information from or about California consumers: identifiers (such as IP address and email address when you subscribe); internet or network activity (browsing history on the site, referring URL, time of request); geolocation data at the coarse-grained, city-level resolution derived from IP; commercial information (which newsletters you have subscribed to); inferences drawn from this information (such as aggregated content preferences); and audio or visual information only if you voluntarily submit it (for example, a photo attached to a tip you send through our Contact form).
Sources of Personal Information
We obtain the personal information described above directly from you (when you fill in a form or interact with the site), automatically from your device (when your browser requests pages and sends standard HTTP headers), and from a limited set of service providers that operate Loannorvico on our behalf (such as our hosting provider, edge security provider, and email-delivery vendor). We do not buy personal information from data brokers.
Business and Commercial Purposes
We use the personal information identified above for the following business or commercial purposes, in each case as described to you at the point of collection: providing the editorial product (rendering pages, sending newsletters you have opted into); responding to your messages and inquiries; operating, maintaining, securing, and improving the site; producing aggregated readership analytics; serving advertising in a non-personalized form by default and, where applicable, with your consent; detecting and responding to security incidents; and complying with our legal obligations.
Disclosure to Service Providers and Third Parties
We disclose personal information to service providers under written contract for the business purposes outlined above. These currently include: our cloud hosting provider; our content-delivery network and edge security provider; our email-delivery vendor (for newsletter distribution); our web-analytics provider; and our advertising network (where ads are displayed). Each service provider is contractually prohibited from retaining, using, or disclosing the personal information for any purpose other than the specific services it provides to us.
Sale and Sharing of Personal Information
We do not sell or share personal information in the manner described by the CCPA — that is, we do not exchange personal information for monetary or other valuable consideration with third parties, and we do not disclose personal information to third parties for the purpose of cross-context behavioral advertising. This has been true for the entire preceding twelve-month period and remains our standing policy.
Sensitive Personal Information
Under the CCPA, certain categories of personal information are designated as "sensitive" — including precise geolocation, government IDs, financial account numbers, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, and similar attributes. Loannorvico does not knowingly collect or process such categories for inferring characteristics about California consumers. Any voluntary submission of sensitive information through our forms is used solely for the workflow you initiated.
Your California Privacy Rights
California consumers have, under the CCPA, the following rights with respect to personal information held by Loannorvico: a right to know (categories collected, sources, purposes, categories of recipients); a right to access specific pieces; a right to correction; a right to deletion; a right to opt out of sale and sharing; a right to limit the use of sensitive personal information; and a right not to be retaliated against for exercising any of these rights.
How to Exercise Your Rights
To exercise any of the rights described above, please submit a request through the Contact form linked in the site footer, or by email to the contact address listed on our Contact page. We will need to verify your identity to a degree of certainty proportional to the request — for newsletter records, confirming the email subscribed is usually sufficient; for broader access or deletion requests we may ask for additional information. We will respond within 45 days, or notify you if more time is needed (up to a further 45 days).
You may also designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf. We will require the agent to provide written permission from you (or a power of attorney) and may verify your identity directly to confirm the request. Agents acting on behalf of multiple consumers under a single permission must still meet the verification standards required by the CCPA for each consumer represented.
Consumers Under 16 Years of Age
Loannorvico does not sell or share personal information about consumers under the age of 16 and does not have actual knowledge of collecting personal information of children under 13. If we ever decided to sell or share personal information about consumers between the ages of 13 and 16, we would do so only with the affirmative authorization of the consumer (opt-in) as required by the CCPA. Parents and guardians may submit deletion requests on behalf of their children via the Contact form.
Right to Non-Discrimination
Exercising your rights under the CCPA will not result in any adverse treatment by Loannorvico. We will not deny you the service, charge a different price, reduce the quality of the service, or otherwise penalize you for submitting a verifiable consumer request. The free editorial content we publish is available on the same terms to all visitors regardless of whether or how they exercise their CCPA rights.
Retention of Personal Information
Loannorvico follows a proportional retention policy. Newsletter records remain only while the subscription is active, with a minimal suppression entry kept post-unsubscribe to prevent accidental re-add. Contact-form records are retained for up to 24 months for follow-up and recordkeeping. Server logs are kept no longer than 90 days. Any aggregated analytics dataset that contains no identifiers is retained for long-term editorial planning.
