What Constitutes a “Sale”

Dalal Media explains your rights and our data-sharing practices under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), specifically related to how we manage reader data and deliver personalized news content.
Definition Under the CCPA
Under the CCPA, a “sale” is broadly defined as sharing personal information with third parties for monetary or other valuable consideration. For a news website like Dalal Media, this may include:
  • Sharing data with advertising networks to show relevant news or subscription ads
  • Providing information to analytics services to understand how readers engage with articles
  • Exchanging data with marketing or affiliate partners for newsletter or subscription offers
  • Any transfer of information where value is received in return
Our Data Practices
What We Do:
  • Share anonymized analytics data with tools like Google Analytics to improve article recommendations and news delivery
  • Work with advertising partners to show relevant news-related ads and promotions
  • Use third-party services to ensure fast loading of articles, videos, and interactive news features
  • Share data with service providers who help us operate Dalal Media efficiently
What We Don’t Do:
  • Sell your email addresses to unrelated marketing lists
  • Share personal contact information with parties not related to news or subscriptions
  • Sell sensitive financial or personal information
  • Transfer data without proper privacy and security safeguards
Processing Timeline
  • Acknowledgment: Within 10 business days of receiving your request
  • Processing: Within 45 days of receipt
  • Extension: If more time is needed (up to 45 additional days), we will notify you
  • Confirmation: You will receive confirmation once your request is completed
Effect of Opting Out
When you opt out of the sale of your personal information:
  • We will stop sharing your data with advertising partners for targeted ads
  • You may see fewer personalized news recommendations or ads
  • Some features that rely on third-party tools (like personalized newsletters) may not work as intended
  • Essential site functionality, including access to articles, will remain unaffected
Other Privacy Rights
In addition to opting out of sales, you may also have the right to:
  • Know what personal data we collect and how it’s used
  • Request deletion of your personal information (with certain exceptions)
  • Request access to the data we hold about you
  • Receive equal service and pricing without discrimination
Authorized Agents

You may appoint an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf. Proof of authorization will be required, and we may also ask you to verify your identity directly with us.
