This Policy is intended to describe our current U.S.-facing privacy practices, including disclosures relevant to the California Online Privacy Protection Act (“CalOPPA”) and, to the extent applicable to us, the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CCPA/CPRA”).
2. Personal Information We Collect
We collect personal information in the following ways.
Information You Provide Directly
-
Contact information: first name, last name, email address, and phone number when you submit this information through a form, sign up, contact us, or otherwise provide it.
-
Email preferences and communications: information about whether you opted in to receive emails, unsubscribe choices, and information you include in messages you send to us.
-
Other information you choose to provide: the contents of inquiries, feedback, or other communications you voluntarily submit.
Information Collected Automatically
-
Device and technical information: IP address, browser type, operating system, device type, language, approximate location derived from IP address, and similar technical data.
-
Usage information: pages viewed, links clicked, referring and exit pages, timestamps, session information, and interactions with the Site.
-
Cookies and similar technologies: cookie identifiers, pixels, tags, local storage, and similar technologies used for functionality, analytics, security, and advertising.
Information from Service Providers and Advertising Partners
We may receive analytics, measurement, advertising, fraud-prevention, or audience information from service providers and advertising partners, such as information about Site visits, ad interactions, device/browser characteristics, or campaign performance. The exact information depends on the tools configured on the Site.
3. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to help understand how visitors use the Site. Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information such as IP address, device/browser information, pages visited, referral information, interactions, and approximate location. Google processes this information to provide analytics and measurement services.
Google may process information under its own terms and privacy practices. You can use browser settings, cookie controls, or tools made available by Google to limit certain analytics collection where available.
4. Advertising and Ad Technologies
We display advertising on the Site. Third-party advertising partners may use cookies, pixels, tags, device identifiers, or similar technologies to deliver, measure, personalize, limit, or report on ads and to understand interactions with ads.
Depending on the advertising technology and how it is configured, third parties may collect information about your activity on the Site and across other websites or services. This can include browser/device information, cookie or advertising identifiers, approximate location, pages viewed, and ad interactions.
Under California law, some transfers of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising can be treated as “sharing,” even if no money is exchanged. Where applicable, we provide the privacy rights described in the California section below and honor legally recognized opt-out preference signals as required by law.
5. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We and our service providers may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
-
operate and secure the Site;
-
remember settings and preferences;
-
measure traffic and understand Site performance;
-
analyze how visitors use the Site;
-
measure advertising and campaign effectiveness; and
-
deliver or personalize advertising where permitted.
You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through the Site’s cookie or privacy controls. Blocking some cookies may affect Site functionality. Your choices may need to be repeated on different browsers or devices.
Privacy choices / cookie settings link:Not applicable – Occult Times does not currently provide a separate Your Privacy Choices / opt-out page.
6. How We Use Personal Information
We may use personal information to:
-
provide, operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site;
-
respond to inquiries, requests, or support communications;
-
send newsletters, updates, marketing, or promotional emails when permitted and consistent with your choices;
-
manage subscriptions, opt-ins, unsubscribe requests, and communication preferences;
-
analyze audience, traffic, and content performance through tools such as Google Analytics;
-
display, measure, and improve advertising;
-
detect, investigate, prevent, or address fraud, abuse, security incidents, or technical problems;
-
comply with legal obligations, enforce our terms, and protect rights, safety, and property; and
-
carry out other purposes disclosed at the time information is collected, with consent where required.
7. Email Communications and Marketing Choices
If you opt in to receive emails or otherwise provide your email address for communications, we may send newsletters, updates, promotions, or other messages. You may opt out of marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in the email or by contacting us.
We may still send non-marketing messages when necessary to respond to your request, confirm a preference, provide a service you requested, or address legal or security matters.
Our commercial email practices are intended to comply with applicable U.S. law, including the CAN-SPAM Act. Marketing emails should include accurate sender information, a valid physical postal address, and a functioning opt-out method.
8. How We Disclose Personal Information
We may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients:
-
Service providers and contractors: hosting, website operations, security, analytics, communications, email delivery, IT support, and other vendors that process information for us.
-
Analytics providers: including Google Analytics and related measurement providers.
-
Advertising and marketing partners: companies that help display, target, measure, or report advertising, depending on our configuration and your privacy choices.
-
Professional advisers: lawyers, accountants, auditors, insurers, or consultants where reasonably necessary.
-
Authorities and legal recipients: government agencies, courts, law enforcement, regulators, or other parties when disclosure is required or permitted by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, or property.
-
Business transaction recipients: actual or prospective buyers, investors, successors, or advisers in connection with a merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, sale of assets, or similar transaction.
-
With your direction or consent: other recipients when you ask us to disclose information or otherwise consent.
We do not state that personal information is never “sold” or “shared” for purposes of California law because certain advertising or measurement disclosures may fall within those statutory definitions depending on configuration. We do not sell personal information for money based on the practices described to us for this Policy.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including to provide the Site, maintain records, manage communications and preferences, analyze performance, secure the Site, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes.
Retention periods vary by category. For example, newsletter and contact information may be retained while you remain subscribed or while needed to respond to you, and certain suppression records may be retained after an unsubscribe so we can respect your choice. Analytics, log, cookie, and advertising data may be retained according to the settings and retention periods of the relevant service or technology. We consider the amount, nature, sensitivity, purpose, legal requirements, and security risk when determining retention.
10. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
You should use appropriate security practices on your own devices and avoid sending sensitive information through ordinary website forms or email unless necessary and appropriate.
11. Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, contact us so we can review and delete it as appropriate.
We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16 without any consent required by applicable California law.
12. California Privacy Disclosures (CalOPPA)
CalOPPA requires operators of commercial websites or online services that collect personally identifiable information from California consumers to conspicuously post a privacy policy describing specified practices. The following disclosures are provided for California users.
Categories of Personally Identifiable Information
The categories of personally identifiable information we may collect include names, email addresses, phone numbers, IP addresses or other online identifiers, device/browser information, usage information, and information you voluntarily include in communications.
Categories of Third Parties
We may disclose information to service providers and contractors, analytics providers, advertising and marketing partners, professional advisers, legal authorities, business transaction recipients, and other parties at your direction, as described above.
Reviewing or Updating Your Information
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of information you have provided to us by contacting us using the methods listed in the “Contact Us” section. We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised version on the Site and update the “Last updated” date. If required by law, we will provide additional notice of material changes.
California Do Not Track Disclosure
Some browsers offer a legacy “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) signal. Because there is no single, universally accepted standard for interpreting legacy DNT signals, the Site does not currently respond to DNT signals as such. However, where required by applicable law, we treat legally recognized opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control (“GPC”), as a request to opt out of sale or sharing for the browser or device sending the signal.
Third parties, including analytics and advertising providers, may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites or online services when their technologies are present on the Site.
13. California Consumer Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)
This section applies to California residents to the extent Occult Times is a “business” subject to the CCPA/CPRA. California law may provide you with the following rights, subject to exceptions and verification requirements:
-
Right to know/access: request information about the categories and specific pieces of personal information collected, sources, purposes, and categories of recipients.
-
Right to delete: request deletion of personal information we collected from you, subject to legal exceptions.
-
Right to correct: request correction of inaccurate personal information.
-
Right to opt out of sale or sharing: direct a covered business not to sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
-
Right to limit certain uses/disclosures of sensitive personal information: where a covered business uses or discloses sensitive personal information in ways that trigger this right.
-
Right to non-discrimination: not receive unlawful discriminatory treatment for exercising CCPA rights.
Categories of Personal Information Under California Law
We do not intentionally request sensitive personal information through standard Site forms based on the practices described for this Policy. Please do not submit sensitive personal information unless it is necessary and specifically requested. If our practices change in a way that triggers a California right to limit use or disclosure of sensitive personal information, we will update our notices and provide the required choice.
Sources and Purposes
We collect the categories above from you directly, from your browser or device, through cookies and similar technologies, and from analytics, advertising, communications, and other service providers. We use them for the business and commercial purposes described in Sections 6 and 8.
Exercising California Rights
To submit an applicable California privacy request, use one of the following methods:
-
Email:
This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. -
Your Privacy Choices / opt-out link: Not applicable – Occult Times does not currently provide a separate Your Privacy Choices / opt-out page.
We may request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity and request. An authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf where permitted by law; we may require proof of authority and, where lawful, confirmation from you.
For opt-out requests communicated through a legally recognized opt-out preference signal such as GPC, we will process the signal as required by applicable law for the browser or device sending it.
Sale and Sharing; Targeted Advertising
We do not sell personal information for money based on the practices described to us. However, the use of third-party advertising technologies may involve disclosures that are considered “sharing” under the CCPA/CPRA when used for cross-context behavioral advertising. California residents may have the right to opt out of such sharing where the CCPA applies to us.
If the Site uses advertising in a way that constitutes sale or sharing under California law, a clear and conspicuous “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” or “Your Privacy Choices” mechanism should be made available and linked from the Site as required.
14. Other U.S. State Privacy Rights
Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional privacy rights under applicable state law, which can include rights to access, correct, delete, obtain a copy of certain data, or opt out of certain targeted advertising, sales, or profiling. The availability and scope of these rights depend on the law and whether it applies to us.
You may submit a privacy request using the contact methods in this Policy. We will respond as required by applicable law and may need to verify your identity. Where an applicable law provides an appeal right, we will provide instructions for appeal in our response.
15. International Processing
The Site may be operated and supported using service providers located in the United States or other countries. As a result, personal information may be processed in jurisdictions with data-protection laws that differ from those where you live, subject to applicable legal requirements.
16. Third-Party Privacy Practices
This Policy applies to Occult Times, not to third-party websites, advertisers, analytics providers, social platforms, or services that may be linked from or integrated with the Site. Those parties process information under their own privacy policies and terms. We encourage you to review their notices.
17. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or other factors. The revised Policy will be posted on the Site with an updated “Last updated” date. We will provide any additional notice or obtain consent if required by applicable law.
