11. Your Data Protection Rights under the California
Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require
commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s
reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or company in the
United States (and conceivable the world) that operates websites collecting
personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a
conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being
collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared, and to comply
with this policy.
According to CalOPPA we agree to the following:
*
users can visit our site anonymously;
*
our Privacy Policy link includes the word “Privacy”, and
can easily be found on the home page of our website;
*
users will be notified of any privacy policy changes on
our Privacy Policy Page;
*
users are able to change their personal information by
emailing us at info@maheeti.com.

Do Not Track is a preference you can set in your web browser to inform websites
that you do not want to be tracked.
You can enable or disable Do Not Track by visiting the
Preferences or Settings page of your web browser.

California law. You are the only owner of your Personal Data and can request
disclosure or deletion at any time.
If you submit a request to stop selling your personal
information, we will stop making such transfers.
Please note, if you ask us to delete or stop selling your
data, it may impact your experience with us, and you may not be able to
