How Compliance with GDPR and CCPA is Managed at Hunt Ads

Ensuring compliance with privacy regulations like GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) is a cornerstone of Hunt Ads' commitment to user trust and data security. By adopting transparent policies, robust security measures, and clear mechanisms to honor user rights, Hunt Ads aligns its practices with global privacy standards.

Transparency and User Consent

• Clear Privacy Policy: Hunt Ads provides a detailed privacy policy outlining how personal data is collected, used, and shared. This policy includes information about data retention and user rights under GDPR and CCPA.
• Consent Mechanisms: For GDPR compliance, users must explicitly opt-in before personal data is collected or processed. CCPA requires clear notice and an option for users to opt-out of data sales, typically implemented via a “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” link.

Data Collection and Processing

• Data Minimization: Hunt Ads only collects data necessary for its advertising services, ensuring it aligns with GDPR’s principle of minimizing data collection.
• Lawful Basis for Processing: Under GDPR, personal data is processed based on legitimate interests, consent, or contractual necessity. For CCPA, data categories collected are clearly disclosed to users.
• De-Identification of Data: To comply with CCPA, user data may be anonymized or aggregated to reduce privacy risks.

Security Measures

• Data Encryption: Hunt Ads uses encryption for data storage and transmission to safeguard personal data.
• Regular Audits: Compliance with GDPR and CCPA includes routine audits to identify potential risks and vulnerabilities in data handling practices.
• Breach Notifications: Procedures are in place to notify authorities and affected individuals in case of data breaches, adhering to GDPR’s 72-hour reporting requirement.

User Rights Management

• Access and Deletion Requests:

GDPR grants users rights to access, correct, or delete their data, and Hunt Ads provides mechanisms (e.g., contact forms or account settings) to handle these requests.
CCPA ensures users can request details on how their data is shared or processed and request its deletion.

• Data Portability: Users can request their data in a machine-readable format (a GDPR requirement).

Contracts and Vendor Management

• Data Processing Agreements (DPAs): Contracts with third-party vendors ensure they also comply with GDPR and CCPA requirements.
• Vendor Assessments: Regular assessments are conducted to ensure third-party partners maintain data protection standards

Ongoing Monitoring and Updates

• Regulatory Updates: Hunt Ads continuously monitors updates in GDPR, CCPA, and other global privacy laws to ensure compliance.
• Audit Trails: Record-keeping of user requests and data processing activities to demonstrate compliance during audits.
