If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) grants you the following rights:

Right to Correct

You may request correction of inaccurate personal information we hold about you.

Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing

To opt out, email us at info@almaarthouse.co with subject line "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information," or use the opt-out links for Google and Meta provided in Section 4.

Right to Limit Sensitive Data Use

You may request we limit use of sensitive personal information (such as health disclosures provided for paramedical services) to what is strictly necessary to provide the requested service.

Right Not to Be Discriminated Against

We will not deny service, charge different prices, or provide a lower quality of service because you exercised any of these rights.

If you experience any accessibility barriers on our Website, please contact us at info@almaarthouse.co and we will make reasonable efforts to provide the information or functionality you need through an alternative means.

We implement commercially reasonable technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or destruction.
