Privacy Notice for California Residents

Effective date: September 27, 2026

This notice supplements our Privacy Policy and applies only to visitors who live in California. It explains the rights you have under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (together, the "CCPA"), and how to use them.

1. Personal Information We Collect

In the past 12 months, The Overlooked Fact may have collected these categories of personal information from visitors to theoverlookedfact.com:

  • Identifiers, such as an IP address, cookie and device identifiers, and an email address if you give us one.
  • Internet or other electronic network activity, such as pages viewed, links clicked, time on the site and the website that referred you.
  • Approximate geolocation, inferred from your IP address.
  • Inferences drawn from the above, such as general interests used to show more relevant ads.

We collect this information from you directly, from your browser or device, and from our analytics and advertising partners.

2. Why We Use It

We use personal information to run and secure the site, understand which articles readers find useful, send email you asked for, and show and measure advertising.

3. Sale and Sharing of Personal Information

We do not sell personal information for money. Like most free websites, we allow advertising and analytics partners to collect identifiers and browsing activity through cookies and pixels. Under the CCPA, some of this activity can count as a "sale" or as "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of anyone under 16.

4. Your Rights

If you live in California, you have the right to:

  • Know what personal information we have collected about you, where it came from, why we collected it and who we disclosed it to.
  • Delete personal information we collected from you, subject to exceptions allowed by law.
  • Correct personal information that is inaccurate.
  • Opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information.
  • Limit the use of sensitive personal information. (We do not collect sensitive personal information as defined by the CCPA.)
  • Not be discriminated against for using any of these rights.

5. Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

To opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, email [email protected] with the subject line "Do Not Sell or Share". You can also block or delete cookies in your browser, and many browsers support the Global Privacy Control signal, which we treat as a valid opt-out request for that browser.

6. How to Make a Request

Email [email protected] and tell us which right you want to use. We may need to confirm your identity before we act on a request, and we will reply within the time the law requires (generally 45 days). You may use an authorized agent to make a request for you; we may ask for proof that the agent is authorized.
