CCPA Compliance
N-Gram House 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 informational website and how you can exercise your rights.
Scope and Applicability
The CCPA/CPRA applies to California residents. While N-Gram House does not collect personal information through user registration or databases, we may automatically collect certain data through website analytics, cookies, and server logs. This includes IP addresses, browser types, device identifiers, and usage patterns. These data are used solely for site functionality, traffic analysis, and improving content relevance.
Your Rights Under CCPA/CPRA
As a California resident, you have the following rights:
- Right to Know: You can 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 deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions under the law.
- 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 compensation, we may use third-party analytics tools that could be interpreted as "sharing" under CPRA. You may opt out of such sharing via your browser settings or cookie preferences.
- 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 Authorized Agent: You may designate an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf. We may require proof of authorization before processing such requests.
How We Comply
N-Gram House does not maintain a user database or collect personally identifiable information through forms or accounts. We rely on anonymized, aggregated data from third-party analytics (e.g., Google Analytics) that do not identify individuals. We do not engage in the sale of personal information as defined by CCPA. Our use of cookies is limited to functional and analytical purposes, and we provide clear notice via our cookie banner.
Data We Process
Under CCPA/CPRA, the following categories of personal information may be collected automatically:
- Identifiers: IP address, device ID
- Internet Activity: Pages visited, time spent, clicks
- Device Information: Browser type, operating system, screen resolution
- Geolocation Data: General location based on IP address
Legal Basis for Processing
Our processing of personal information is based on legitimate interests in website functionality, security, and content optimization. We do not use personal information for targeted advertising or profiling. We do not retain data longer than necessary for these purposes.
