Watch out for

- Customers use the data for mail, email, phone and text campaigns. A campaign already sent isn't recalled.

Your rights
The policy says DMDatabases follows the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the Network Advertising Initiative code of conduct. Dirmark Media is registered as a data broker in California.
California: CCPA. If you live in California, the CCPA lets you ask a business to delete the personal information it holds about you and to stop selling or sharing it. Businesses generally have 45 days to respond.
California: the Delete Act. Data brokers that hold information on Californians must register with the state. California residents can use DROP, the state's Delete Request and Opt-out Platform, to send one deletion request to every registered broker at once.
Other US states. Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, Oregon and a growing list of other states give residents a similar right to delete. Vermont, Texas and Oregon also make data brokers register with the state. Where no state law applies, the broker's own opt-out above still works for most people.
