Do Not Sell My Info

Notice of Right to Opt-Out: Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

Standard: California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), Virginia CDPA, and Texas TRAIGA 2026

Under the CPRA and other state privacy laws, residents have the right to opt-out of the “Sale” or “Sharing” of their personal information to third parties. At TheIdealPrice.com, we prioritize a “Gold Standard” for data integrity and user autonomy.

1. What “Selling” or “Sharing” Means

On this platform, we do not sell your name or email address for cash. However, under 2026 legal definitions, “selling” or “sharing” includes the use of third-party cookies or tracking pixels that allow affiliate networks and advertisers to show you personalized price comparisons or eco-friendly products based on your browsing history.

2. Your Right to Opt-Out

If you wish to restrict the tracking of your behavior for the purpose of cross-contextual behavioral advertising or affiliate attribution, you may exercise your rights through the following forensic guardrails:

• Global Privacy Control (GPC): We automatically detect and honor GPC signals. If your browser is set to “GPC,” we will treat it as a valid request to opt-out of the sale/sharing of your data.

• Opt-Out Toggle: [Click Here to Disable Third-Party Tracking] — This will set a “Preference Cookie” on your device to block future tracking.

• Request by Email: Send a formal request to privacy@theidealprice.com with the subject line “Request to Opt-Out.”

3. Data Gating Categories

When you opt-out, the following data flows are restricted:

4. Verification of Request

To protect your data, we may require you to verify your identity before processing a manual request. We do not discriminate against users who exercise their privacy rights; however, certain “Forensic Comparison” features may be limited without the use of functional cookies.

5. Statistics & Transparency (The “HOW”)

In 2025, TheIdealPrice.com processed $0$ requests for data deletion, as our default architecture is “Privacy-First” (Data Minimization).
