CCPA Compliance

Token Message 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.

Scope and Applicability

Although Token Message does not collect personal information through user registration or account creation, we may automatically collect certain personal data through cookies, web beacons, and analytics tools when you visit our site. This includes IP addresses, browser types, device identifiers, and usage patterns. Under the CCPA/CPRA, this information may qualify as personal information if it can be linked to you or your device.

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 the deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions.
  • Right to Opt-Out: 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 share data with third-party analytics and advertising partners for targeted purposes, which may constitute "sharing" under CPRA.
  • Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not deny you services, charge different prices, or provide a different quality of service because you exercised your CCPA/CPRA rights.
  • Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information: You may request to limit our use and disclosure of your sensitive personal information, such as precise geolocation data.

How We Comply

Token Message does not maintain a database of personally identifiable user profiles. We use third-party analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics) that may collect data for statistical purposes. We do not knowingly sell or share personal information for targeted advertising. We honor browser-based opt-out signals and provide a clear opt-out mechanism below.

Data We Process

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

  • Identifiers: IP address, cookie identifiers, device IDs
  • Internet activity: Pages visited, time spent, clicks
  • Geolocation data: Approximate location derived from IP address
  • Commercial information: Services you interact with on our site
  • Professional or employment-related information: None collected

Legal Basis for Processing

We process this data based on our legitimate interest in providing an informative, functional website and improving user experience. We do not rely on consent for these activities, as permitted under CCPA/CPRA for non-sales activities.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise your rights under the CCPA/CPRA, please contact us by email at [email protected]. In your message, please include:

  1. Your full name
  2. Your California residency status
  3. The specific right you wish to exercise (e.g., "Delete my data" or "Opt out of sharing")
  4. Any supporting details (e.g., browser or device ID if known)

We may require verification of your identity before fulfilling your request. To protect your privacy, we will not fulfill requests submitted via phone or social media.

Response Timeframes

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

No Discrimination Policy

Token Message will not discriminate against you for exercising your CCPA/CPRA rights. You will not be denied access to our content, charged higher fees, or receive a lower quality of service because you opted out of data sharing or requested deletion.

Updates and Changes

We may update this CCPA Compliance page periodically. Any material changes will be posted here with an updated effective date. We recommend reviewing this page regularly.
