CCPA Compliance

Piney Woods Shooting 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 website and how you can exercise your rights.

Scope and Applicability

Although Piney Woods Shooting is based in Australia and primarily serves an international audience, we recognize that visitors from California may access our informational blog. Under the CCPA/CPRA, businesses that collect personal information from California residents and meet certain thresholds must comply. While we do not sell personal information, we use limited analytics tools that may collect data from California users, and we honor all CCPA/CPRA rights regardless of business size or location.

Your Rights Under CCPA/CPRA

As a California resident, you have the following rights:

Right to Know: You can request details about the personal information we have collected about you in the past 12 months.
Right to Delete: You can request the deletion of your personal information collected by us.
Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing: We do not sell or share your personal information for targeted advertising. However, you may still exercise this right as a precaution.
Right to Non-Discrimination: You will not be denied services, charged different prices, or receive a different level of service for exercising your CCPA/CPRA rights.
Right to Authorize an Agent: You may designate an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf.

How We Comply

Piney Woods Shooting does not maintain user accounts, collect personally identifiable information through registration, or store personal data in databases. We use third-party analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) that may collect anonymized or pseudonymized data such as IP addresses, browser types, and page views. We do not link this data to individual identities. We have implemented technical and organizational measures to ensure that any data collected is processed in accordance with CCPA/CPRA requirements.

Data We Process

Under CCPA/CPRA, the following categories of information may be collected automatically:

Internet or other electronic network activity information (e.g., pages visited, time spent)
Device identifiers and IP addresses
Geolocation data (approximate, based on IP)
Usage patterns and browsing behavior

No names, email addresses, phone numbers, or payment details are collected or stored.

Legal Basis for Processing

Our processing of data is based on legitimate interest — to improve website functionality, understand visitor behavior, and enhance user experience. We do not engage in profiling or targeted advertising.
