Enable core site functionality and security
Understand how visitors use the Site and improve performance (analytics)

Do Not Track (CalOPPA)
Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals. Because there is no consistent industry standard for DNT, we may not respond to DNT signals. We disclose this as part of tracking transparency expectations under California privacy policy guidance. [cdn.prod.w...-files.com], [california-ccpa.org]
Your Choices
You can control cookies through your browser settings. If we provide a cookie preference tool, you can use it to manage optional cookies where available.

We keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including:
Maintaining listings, projects, and accounts (if applicable)

Resolving disputes and enforcing agreements
Data minimization and retention discipline are recognized as key privacy and security practices.
9) Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information (e.g., access controls, secure practices, and vendor oversight). No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
The FTC recommends building security into operations, limiting collection to what you need, and maintaining a plan to protect and dispose of data appropriately.
10) California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)
If you are a California resident and Ejal is subject to the CCPA/CPRA, you may have these rights (subject to exceptions):
Right to know/access personal information collected, used, and shared
Right to delete personal information
Right to correct inaccurate personal information
Right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (if applicable)
Right to limit use and disclosure of sensitive personal information (if applicable)
Right to non-discrimination for exercising your rights
California’s Attorney General describes these rights, including CPRA additions like correction and limiting sensitive personal information.
A) “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information”
Ejal does not sell personal information for money.
However, California law defines “sell” and “share” broadly (including certain disclosures for cross-context behavioral advertising). If Ejal engages in activities that qualify as “selling” or “sharing,” we will provide a compliant opt-out mechanism.
B) “Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information”
If we use or disclose “sensitive personal information” beyond what is permitted by California law, you may have the right to limit that use.
California regulations include specific requirements for notices and links regarding opt-out and limitation rights when applicable.
C) How to Submit a California Rights Request
You can request access/know, deletion, or correction by contacting:
We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.
11) EEA/UK Privacy Rights (GDPR-Style Notice)
If you are located in the EEA/UK, you may have rights to:
Access, correct, or delete personal data
Object to or restrict processing
Data portability
Withdraw consent (where processing is based on consent)
Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
GDPR transparency principles require informing individuals about purposes, legal bases, retention, recipients, and rights when collecting personal data.
To exercise these rights, contact privacy@ejal.com.
12) Children’s Privacy
Ejal is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact privacy@ejal.com and we will take steps to delete it.
The FTC’s COPPA rule amendments were published with an effective date in 2025, reflecting heightened obligations for covered child-directed services.
