Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information – True Crime Lens

Last Updated: November 2025

This page is provided in accordance with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). These laws give California residents specific rights regarding their personal information.

True Crime Lens respects your privacy and provides this page so California residents can opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. While we do not sell personal information in the traditional sense, some advertising partners may classify personalised advertising and cross-site tracking as “sharing.”

1. Your Rights as a California Resident

Under CCPA/CPRA, California residents have the right to:

• Opt out of the sale of personal information

• Opt out of the sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising

• Limit use of sensitive personal information for advertising or analytics

When you exercise these rights, we will:

• Stop sharing data with ad partners for behavioural advertising

• Disable personalised ads for your session

• Communicate your preferences to advertising vendors, including Google and Ezoic, via our Consent Management Platform (CMP)

2. How to Exercise Your Rights

Opting out disables sharing for these purposes.
