6. Your Privacy Rights

6.1 California Residents (CCPA/CPRA)

Vessel Archive is based in California, and California residents have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA). These include the right to:

• Know what personal information we have collected about you, and the categories of sources, purposes, and third parties involved
• Delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions
• Correct inaccurate personal information we maintain about you
• Opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information. Under California law, the use of tools like the Meta Pixel to enable targeted advertising can be considered "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes, even though no money changes hands. You can opt out by contacting us at teo@vessel-archive.com or by adjusting your Meta Ad Settings.
• Non-discrimination — we will not deny you goods or services, charge different prices, or provide a different level of service because you exercised your privacy rights

We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of individuals we know to be under 16 years of age.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at teo@vessel-archive.com. We may need to verify your identity before completing your request. We will respond within the timeframes required by law.

6.2 Other Jurisdictions

If you are located outside California — including the EU/UK — you may have similar rights under applicable law (such as the GDPR), including rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal information, and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. Contact us at teo@vessel-archive.com to make a request, and we will respond in accordance with applicable law.

7. Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed to individuals under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

8. Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
