1. Introduction & Scope
This California Privacy Rights Notice supplements Wp Admin's global Privacy Policy and applies exclusively to California residents as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). It outlines how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information, and describes the rights available to you under California law.
"We," "our," or "us" refers to Wp Admin, a provider of professional WordPress administration, maintenance, and optimization services. "You" or "your" refers to California residents who access our website, use our services, or otherwise interact with us.
2. Information We Collect
Over the preceding 12 months, we have collected the following categories of personal information from California residents. This information may be collected directly from you, automatically through our services, or from third-party service providers.
| Category | Examples | Collected? |

We do not collect Social Security Numbers, driver's license numbers, or precise geolocation tracking data unless explicitly required for service delivery and with your consent.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the personal information we collect for the following business and commercial purposes:
- Service Delivery: Provisioning, maintaining, and securing your WordPress website(s).
- Account Management: Processing payments, managing subscriptions, and handling customer support requests.
- Security & Compliance: Protecting against unauthorized access, malware, and fraudulent activity; complying with legal obligations.
- Improvement: Analyzing platform usage to optimize performance, develop new features, and improve user experience.
- Communications: Sending transactional notices, service updates, and responding to inquiries.
- Marketing: With your consent, sending promotional materials about our services and industry insights.
4. How We Share Information
We do not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We share personal information only as described below:
- Service Providers: Third-party vendors who perform services on our behalf (e.g., hosting, payment processing, analytics, backup storage). These parties are contractually obligated to use your data only for the specified purpose and are prohibited from selling or sharing it.
- Legal Requirements: When required by law, subpoena, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Wp Admin, our clients, or others.
- Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of the transaction. We will notify you of any change in ownership or material changes to this notice.
Note: Under CCPA/CPRA, we do not "sell" or "share" your personal information as those terms are legally defined. We only disclose data to service providers for business purposes.
5. Your California Privacy Rights
California law grants you the following rights regarding your personal information:
Right to Know
You have the right to request that we disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources, the business purpose for collection, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it.
Right to Delete
You may request the deletion of personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain legal exceptions (e.g., data required to complete a transaction, comply with legal obligations, or detect security incidents).
Right to Opt-Out of Sale/Sharing
While we do not sell or share your data for behavioral advertising, you retain the right to opt out at any time. If our practices change, we will update this notice accordingly.
Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information
You may request that we limit the use and disclosure of your sensitive personal information to only what is necessary to perform our services, as permitted by law.
Right to Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA/CPRA rights. We do not offer different prices or services in response to the exercise of these rights.
6. How to Exercise Your Rights
To submit a verifiable consumer request, you or your authorized agent may contact us using the information provided in Section 12. Please include sufficient detail to allow us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to your request.
Authorized Agents: You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. The agent must provide proper authorization (e.g., a signed letter of power of attorney). We may require additional verification to confirm the agent's authority before processing the request.
7. Verification & Response Time
Upon receiving your request, we will verify your identity to ensure that the request comes from you or your authorized representative. For account-holders, this may involve logging into your dashboard or providing specific account details. We will respond to your request within 45 days of receipt. If we require more time, we will notify you of the reason and extension period, not to exceed an additional 45 days.
Our response will be free of charge. We may deny your request if you have submitted more than two requests within a 12-month period, or if we cannot adequately verify your identity.
8. Sensitive Personal Information
We treat certain data as sensitive under California law, including precise geolocation, account credentials, and financial information. We only collect sensitive personal information when necessary to provide our services, and we implement strict encryption and access controls. You may request that we limit the use of sensitive data to what is strictly necessary for service delivery.
9. Non-Discrimination
Wp Admin does not discriminate against California residents who exercise their privacy rights. You will not be charged different rates, denied services, or provided lower-quality support for submitting a request or opting out of data sharing.
10. Data Retention
We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (e.g., tax, accounting, or security retention requirements). When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymized.
11. Updates to This Notice
We may update this California Privacy Rights Notice to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. Material changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this notice periodically.
