Notes on Compliance and Design
-
California Compliance:
-
CCPA: Details rights to know, delete, opt-out (though no data sales occur), and non-discrimination. Lists categories collected/shared, with clear request process (45-day response). Avoids financial incentives requiring data sharing, per § 1798.125.
-
CalOPPA: Discloses cookies, third-party sharing, and Do Not Track handling, with accessible policy link on rushroot.com
-
Data Breach Notification (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.82): Commits to 72-hour notice for breaches, exceeding requirements.
-
Prop 65: Cross-references Terms & Conditions for supplement warnings, ensuring consistent consumer info.
-
-
Customer-Friendly:
-
Simple language explains data use (e.g., orders, marketing), building trust for $43.75M sales model (10M shoppers, per prior plans).
-
Opt-in marketing and cookie controls align with e-commerce norms (e.g., OWYN’s clear unsubscribe links).
-
Multiple contact options (email, phone, form) ease CCPA requests, reducing friction.
-
-
Operational Feasibility:
-
Limits data sharing to essential vendors (payment, shipping), protecting NutFit’s lean operation ($410K payroll, 6-person team).
-
Retention periods (7 years for orders, 2 for analytics) balance compliance and storage costs ($3K/year warehouse).
-
No data sales avoid CCPA complexity, fitting NutFit’s direct-to-consumer model.
-
-
Assumptions:
-
Pairing with Terms & Conditions:
-
Cross-referenced in Terms (Section 5), ensuring cohesive legal framework.
-
Consistent tone, contact details, and California focus (CLRA, CCPA).
-
Supports Return Policy by clarifying order data use (e.g., refunds, shipping).
-
