BestBrowserToolsOnline has implemented commercially reasonable security measures to prevent unlawful or unauthorized misuse of and access to the information we collect.

IX. We Do Not Discriminate: We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights, consistent with various state laws. 

X. State Privacy Rights

Certain U.S. state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 and the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (collectively, the “CCPA”), among others, provide residents with specific rights regarding their personal information. Depending on the state, some of these rights may include:

  1. The Right to Access: You have the right to request that BestBrowserToolsOnline disclose the categories and pieces of personal data we collect, use, disclose, and sell, as well as the business purposes for collecting your information.

  2. The Right to Request Deletion: Under certain circumstances, you have the right to request that BestBrowserToolsOnline delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained over the preceding 12 months.

  3. Opt-Out Rights : Because we may use advertising and analytics for targeted advertising purposes, you may have the right to direct BestBrowserToolsOnline not to “sell” or “share” your personal information at any time (the “right to opt-out”). 

  4. The Right to Correct: You may have the right to request that BestBrowserToolsOnline use commercially reasonable measures to correct any inaccurate information that we have about you.

  5. The Right to Limit Use of Personal Information: Under certain state laws, you may direct BestBrowserToolsOnline to only use your sensitive personal information (if applicable) for only those purposes that are necessary to perform our services.

 

When we receive a request, we must evaluate whether the request is allowed under the state laws, as some rights may apply only to residents of certain states. In addition, only you, or a person that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. As such, we cannot grant a request until we can identify what personal information is associated with you, as well as your state residency. The type of information you must provide depends on the type of request you make. 

We may also use a third-party verification service to verify your identity. Please be advised that we cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. 

In addition, you may only make a verifiable consumer request for Access twice within a 12-month period. If you believe you have a valid right to request any of the rights above, please reach out to us. To exercise the privacy rights to Access, Delete, Correct, and Limit personal information as described above you can visit our request page. To exercise your opt-out rights, visit this page.

We try to respond to all confirmed consumer requests within 45 days of receiving them, or as otherwise permissible under the applicable law. If we need more time, we will reach out to explain why. 

Some states may allow residents to appeal a denial of a privacy-related request. If we decline to process your request, you may have a right to appeal by emailing . We may reject your request for appeal if the state in which you reside does not allow a right to appeal.
