GDPR & CCPA Compliance (Data Protection Rights)

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA) or California (USA), you have certain data protection rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). This includes the right to access, update, or delete your personal information.
