Do Not Sell
Do Not Sell or Share My Info
Last updated: 2026-07-26
The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information comes from California’s CCPA/CPRA and from similar laws in a growing number of US states. This page covers how it works here.
How This Applies to Us
We do not sell your personal information for money, and we never have. What can happen is narrower: where advertising is served on this site, advertising cookies and device identifiers may be made available to advertising partners. The statutory definitions of ‘sale’ and ‘sharing’ are wide enough to capture that arrangement, so we treat it as opt-out-able rather than argue about the label. This applies to everyone reading our coverage of Briefandcalm on briefandcalm.com, whether or not you have ever subscribed or commented.
Effect of Your Choice
Opting out affects personalisation only. Ads may still be shown, selected without your data. We do not restrict, downgrade, or charge differently for the site on account of an opt-out — that would be unlawful.
Registering Your Choice
Three ways. Turn on Global Privacy Control in your browser — we honour it automatically, and nothing further is required. Or use the consent banner, where presented, to refuse advertising cookies. Or write to hello@briefandcalm.com with the subject ‘Do Not Sell or Share’. You do not need an account with us to do any of this.
The full list of applicable state rights lives in the State Privacy Notice.
