						<b
							>Your Data Protection Rights under the California
							Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)</b
						>
					</p>
					<p>
						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.
					</p>
					<p>According to CalOPPA we agree to the following:</p>
					<p>0.1. users can visit our site anonymously;</p>
					<p>
						0.2. our Privacy Policy link includes the word
						“Privacy”, and can easily be found on the home page of
						our website;
					</p>
					<p>
						0.3. users will be notified of any privacy policy
						changes on our Privacy Policy Page;
					</p>
					<p>
						0.4. users are able to change their personal information
						by emailing us at <b>team@xpecto.tech</b>.
					</p>
					<p>Our Policy on “Do Not Track” Signals:</p>
					<p>
						We honor Do Not Track signals and do not track, plant
						cookies, or use advertising when a Do Not Track browser
						mechanism is in place. Do Not Track is a preference you
						can set in your web browser to inform websites that you
						do not want to be tracked.
					</p>
					<p>
						You can enable or disable Do Not Track by visiting the
						Preferences or Settings page of your web browser.
					</p>
					<p>
						12.
						<b
							>Your Data Protection Rights under the California
							Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)</b
						>
					</p>
					<p>
						If you are a California resident, you are entitled to
						learn what data we collect about you, ask to delete your
						data and not to sell (share) it. To exercise your data
						protection rights, you can make certain requests and ask
						us:
					</p>
					<p>
						<b
							>0.1. What personal information we have about you.
							If you make this request, we will return to you:</b
						>
					</p>
					<p>
						0.0.1. The categories of personal information we have
						collected about you.
					</p>
					<p>
						0.0.2. The categories of sources from which we collect
						your personal information.
					</p>
					<p>
						0.0.3. The business or commercial purpose for collecting
						or selling your personal information.

						0.0.5. The specific pieces of personal information we
						have collected about you.
					</p>
					<p>

						0.0.7. A list of categories of personal information that
						we have disclosed for a business purpose, along with the
						category of any other company we shared it with.
					</p>
					<p>
						Please note, you are entitled to ask us to provide you
						with this information up to two times in a rolling
						twelve-month period. When you make this request, the
						information provided may be limited to the personal
						information we collected about you in the previous 12
						months.
					</p>
					<p>
						<b
							>0.2. To delete your personal information. If you
							make this request, we will delete the personal

					</p>
					<p>
						<b
							>0.3. To stop selling your personal information. We

							third parties for any purpose. We do not sell your

							family of companies, without monetary consideration
							may be considered a “sale” under California law. You
							are the only owner of your Personal Data and can
							request disclosure or deletion at any time.</b
						>
					</p>
					<p>
						If you submit a request to stop selling your personal
						information, we will stop making such transfers.
					</p>
					<p>
						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 participate in certain programs
						or membership services which require the usage of your
						personal information to function. But in no
						circumstances, we will discriminate against you for
						exercising your rights.
					</p>
					<p>
						To exercise your California data protection rights
						described above, please send your request(s) by email:
						<b>team@xpecto.tech</b>.
					</p>
					<p>
						Your data protection rights, described above, are
