Listing.Press does not sell personal information for monetary payment in the ordinary sense of the word “sell.”

However, some U.S. privacy laws define terms such as “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” more broadly than ordinary commercial usage.

The use of advertising, analytics, cookies, pixels, advertising identifiers, and similar technologies may constitute “sharing,” “targeted advertising,” or another regulated activity under certain U.S. state privacy laws.

Where applicable law provides an opt-out right, Listing.Press intends to provide or honor legally required mechanisms for exercising that right.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to represent that every provision of the CCPA/CPRA necessarily applies to Listing.Press.

Applicability depends on statutory requirements and the circumstances of the Service.

14. Opt-Out Preference Signals

Where required by applicable law, Listing.Press may recognize legally recognized browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control (“GPC”), for processing activities to which such signals legally apply.

The effect of an opt-out signal may depend on your jurisdiction, browser configuration, and the technologies used through the Service.

15. Privacy Requests

Where applicable law gives you privacy rights, you may submit a request through our Legal Contact page.

Please include sufficient information to allow us to understand the request.

Depending on applicable law, users may have rights including:

  • Access
  • Correction
  • Deletion
  • Restriction of processing
  • Objection to certain processing
  • Data portability
  • Withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent

The availability of these rights depends on applicable law and the circumstances of the processing.

A CMP may allow users to make choices relating to:

  • Advertising cookies
  • Analytics cookies

Publicly published information may remain available for archival, historical, transparency, or public-interest purposes even after the underlying event has concluded.

Listing.Press may nevertheless update, restrict, archive, de-index, or remove content where appropriate.

Removal from Listing.Press does not guarantee immediate removal from third-party search engines, caches, archives, social networks, feeds, or other services.

28. Third-Party Websites

Listing.Press frequently links to external websites as part of its source-attribution and public-information functions.

These external websites operate independently and may have their own privacy policies.

Listing.Press is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites.

Users should review the privacy practices of external services before providing personal information to them.
