Our Policy on Selling Personal Information
Tools and Thrive does not sell your personal information to third parties for monetary compensation.
However, under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), the term “sale” may be interpreted broadly to include sharing data with third-party advertising partners — such as Google AdSense — even without direct monetary exchange. To be fully transparent, we disclose this below.
What Personal Information May Be Shared
When you visit Tools and Thrive, certain information may be shared with our third-party advertising and analytics partners, including:
- IP address and general location data
- Browser type and operating system
- Pages visited and time spent on the site
- Browsing behavior used for personalized advertising (via Google AdSense cookies)
- Anonymous analytics data (via Google Analytics)
We do not collect or share: your full name, email address, phone number, or any sensitive personal information — unless you voluntarily provide it through our contact form or newsletter subscription.
Your Rights Under CCPA / CPRA (California Residents)
If you are a California resident, you have the following rights under the CCPA and CPRA:
- Right to Know – You can request information about what personal data we collect and how it is used or shared.
- Right to Delete – You can request that we delete your personal information we have collected.
- Right to Opt Out – You can opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information with advertising partners.
- Right to Correct – You can request corrections to inaccurate personal information we hold.
- Right to Non-Discrimination – We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA/CPRA rights.
How to Opt Out of Personalized Advertising

- Google Ads Settings: google.com/settings/ads

- Network Advertising Initiative (NAI): optout.networkadvertising.org
- Your Online Choices (EU): youronlinechoices.eu
You can also manage or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Note that opting out of personalized ads does not mean you will see no ads — it means the ads you see will not be based on your browsing history.
