These cookies are often placed by third-party advertising networks with our permission.

Third-Party Tracking

This information may be used to provide you with interest-based (behavioral) advertising or other targeted content.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. The following sections describe your rights under applicable law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).

Rights for California Residents

If you are a California resident, you have the following rights under the CCPA/CPRA:

Right to Know

You have the right to request that we disclose the following information about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months:

  • The categories of personal information we have collected about you.
  • The categories of sources from which we collected your personal information.
  • The business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, or sharing your personal information.
  • The categories of third parties to whom we have disclosed your personal information.
  • The specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.

Right to Delete

You have the right to request that we delete the personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions. We may retain certain information as permitted or required by law, such as to complete transactions, comply with legal obligations, detect security incidents, or for other internal purposes.

Right to Correct

You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information that we maintain about you.

Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing

You have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information, as those terms are defined under California law. We do not sell your personal information for monetary compensation. However, certain data sharing activities (such as allowing third-party advertising partners to collect information through cookies for targeted advertising) may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" under California law. To opt out of this activity, please see the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" section below.

Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information

If we collect sensitive personal information (as defined under California law), you have the right to limit our use of such information to only what is necessary to provide our services or as otherwise permitted by law. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes other than those permitted under the CPRA.

Right to Non-Discrimination

You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising any of your CCPA/CPRA privacy rights. We will not deny you goods or services, charge different prices or rates, provide a different level of quality, or suggest that you will receive a different price or level of quality for exercising your rights.

Rights for Residents of Other States

If you reside in a state with privacy laws similar to California (such as Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, or Utah), you may have similar rights to access, delete, correct, or opt out of certain data processing activities. Please contact us using the information in the "How to Exercise Your Rights" section below to submit a request.

Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

We do not sell your personal information for monetary compensation. However, under California law, "sale" and "sharing" are broadly defined to include making personal information available to third parties for purposes such as cross-context behavioral advertising (targeted advertising based on your activity across different websites or apps).

We may allow certain third-party advertising and analytics providers to collect information about your browsing activity on our Site through cookies and similar technologies. This activity may constitute "sharing" under the CCPA/CPRA.

How to Opt Out

If you wish to opt out of the sharing of your personal information for targeted advertising purposes, you may:

  • Adjust your browser settings to block or delete third-party cookies (see the "Cookies and Tracking Technologies" section above).
  • Use opt-out tools provided by advertising industry groups, such as the Digital Advertising Alliance (www.aboutads.info/choices) or the Network Advertising Initiative (www.networkadvertising.org/choices).
  • Contact us at contact@silkzap.shop or 9834045393 to request that we disable third-party advertising cookies on your future visits.

Please note that opting out of targeted advertising does not mean you will stop seeing advertisements; you will continue to receive generic, non-targeted ads.
