Spot Scholarships respects your privacy and your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and similar state privacy laws.
Your Right to Opt Out
Under the CCPA, California residents have the right to opt out of the “sale” of their personal information. While Spot Scholarships does not sell personal information in the traditional sense, certain data-sharing activities — such as the use of analytics cookies or advertising pixels — may qualify as a “sale” under the CCPA’s broad definition.
What Information May Be Shared
When you visit our site, the following information may be collected by third-party services:
- IP address and general location
- Browser type and device information
- Pages visited and time spent on site
- Cookies and similar tracking identifiers
This information is used for analytics (Google Analytics) and may be used for personalized advertising through ad networks.
How to Opt Out
To opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, you can:
- Email us at [email protected] with the subject line “Do Not Sell My Personal Information”
- Disable cookies in your browser settings
- Use Global Privacy Control (GPC) — we honor GPC signals sent by your browser
What Happens After You Opt Out
Once we process your request, we will stop sharing your personal information with third parties for purposes that qualify as a “sale” under the CCPA. You will still be able to use Spot Scholarships and access all scholarship listings. Opting out does not affect any information previously shared.
Additional Rights
California residents also have the right to:
- Know what personal information we collect and how it is used
- Request deletion of personal information
- Not be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights
For any privacy-related requests, please contact us or email [email protected].
