Your Rights Under CCPA

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) grants you specific rights:

• Right to know - request details about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected.
• Right to delete - ask us to erase the personal data we hold about you, subject to certain legal exceptions.
• Right to opt out - direct us not to sell your personal information. Katrinafinder does not sell user data, so this right is satisfied by default.

Protecting your information is a core priority. We employ industry-standard measures including:

• Encrypted storage for sensitive fields at rest.
• Regular vulnerability scans and penetration testing.
• Strict internal access controls - only authorized personnel can access user data.
• Incident response procedures with notification within 72 hours of any confirmed breach.

While no system is 100 % secure, we continuously review and update our safeguards. For tips on staying safe while dating online, visit our Dating Safety guide.

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our services. If you delete your account, we will remove or anonymize your data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes such as fraud prevention.
