CCPA Compliance

SEA MarketWatch (Secure Exchange Atlas) is committed to respecting the privacy rights of California residents 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 informational website and how you can exercise your rights.

Scope and Applicability

Although SEA MarketWatch does not require user registration or store personal information in a database, we may collect certain data automatically through website analytics, cookies, and server logs. This includes IP addresses, browser types, pages visited, and usage patterns. Under the CCPA/CPRA, this qualifies as "personal information" if it can reasonably be linked to a specific consumer or household. This policy applies to all visitors residing in California.

Your Rights Under CCPA/CPRA

As a California resident, you have the following rights:

• Right to Know: You may request details about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you in the past 12 months.
• Right to Delete: You may request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain legal exceptions.
• Right to Opt-Out: You have the right to opt-out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information. While we do not sell personal information for monetary consideration, we may use third-party analytics tools that involve data sharing. You may opt-out of this sharing below.
• Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not deny you services, charge different prices, or provide a lower quality of service because you exercised your CCPA/CPRA rights.

How We Comply

SEA MarketWatch does not collect personal information for commercial purposes beyond website functionality and analytics. We use tools like Google Analytics and similar services to understand traffic patterns and improve user experience. We do not sell personal information to third parties for advertising purposes. We do not retain personal data longer than necessary for analytical purposes and regularly purge logs.

Data We Process

The personal information we may collect includes:

• IP address
• Browser and device information
• Pages visited and time spent on site
• Cookie identifiers
• Geolocation data (approximate, based on IP)

This data is collected automatically and is not linked to your name, email, or other direct identifiers unless you voluntarily provide it through a contact form.

Legal Basis for Processing

Under CCPA/CPRA, we rely on legitimate business purposes — including website security, analytics, and improving user experience — as the legal basis for processing personal information. We do not collect sensitive personal information as defined under CPRA.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise your rights under CCPA/CPRA, please submit a request via email to: [email protected]. Include your full name, California residency confirmation, and specify the right you wish to exercise (access, deletion, or opt-out). We may request additional verification to protect your privacy.

Response Timeframes

We will acknowledge your request within 10 business days and respond fully within 45 days. If more time is needed, we will notify you and explain the reason for the delay. We may extend the response period by an additional 45 days if reasonably necessary.

No Discrimination Policy

SEA MarketWatch will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights under the CCPA/CPRA. You will not be denied access to our website, charged different rates, or receive a lower quality of service because you chose to opt-out or request data deletion.

Updates and Changes

We may update this CCPA compliance page periodically to reflect changes in law or our practices. The most recent version will always be posted here with an updated effective date.
