Opting Out Of Sale And Sharing

Effective date: 2026-07-01
Last updated: 2026-07-01

OCRV Center does not sell personal information for money and does not run advertising tags. Analytics can still meet the broad California definition of sharing, so this page explains the definitions, the three ways to opt out, and how a request is verified and answered within forty five days.

This page exists because California requires a clear and conspicuous way for a resident to direct that their personal information not be sold or shared, reachable from every page of the site. The link sits in the footer of every page here. What follows explains the terms the statute uses, what this particular site does, and the three routes available for exercising the right.

What sale and sharing actually mean here

California uses two defined terms and neither of them matches everyday usage. A sale is the disclosure of personal information to a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration. Sharing is narrower in one sense and broader in another: it means disclosure to a third party for cross context behavioral advertising, and it counts whether or not any money changes hands.

That second definition catches things that do not feel like selling anything. If a site loads an advertising pixel that lets a network recognize a visitor later on an unrelated site, that transfer can be a share even though nobody was paid. The value received is the advertising capability, not a payment, and the statute deliberately reaches it.

Third party in this context also has a specific meaning. A vendor that only processes data on the shop's written instructions for a stated purpose is a service provider rather than a third party, and passing data to one is not a sale or a share. A company that receives data and is then free to use it for its own commercial ends is a third party, and that is where the definitions bite.

What this site actually does

No personal information is sold for money, for a discount, for a service credit or for anything else that would count as valuable consideration. Contact form submissions are emailed to the shop and used to schedule and perform repair work. They are not passed to a data broker, a lead aggregator, a marketing list or an advertising network.

There is no advertising pixel on this domain. All four advertising signals under Google Consent Mode v2, covering advertising storage, advertising user data, advertising personalization and the associated storage, are declared denied before any tag loads and are left denied even when a visitor allows measurement. Nothing on this site is configured to build a cross context advertising audience.

The honest qualification is that analytics tags can meet the sharing definition depending on how a regulator reads a given configuration, because a large analytics platform is capable of uses beyond simple measurement. Rather than argue the point, this site treats analytics as opt in and treats an opt out signal as binding. That is a stricter position than the statute may require, and it is the simpler one to keep true.

Three ways to opt out

Two of these are automatic and take effect in the browser. The third reaches the shop's own records and is the one to use when the request is about a person rather than a device.

The consent banner: Measurement is off until it is allowed. If the banner was accepted earlier and the decision needs reversing, clearing site data for this domain in the browser removes the stored consent record and the banner returns with everything denied again. There is no account to log into and no setting held on a server, because the decision lives on the visitor's own device.
Global Privacy Control: A browser or extension that sends the Global Privacy Control signal is treated as having submitted a valid opt out. The signal is read before the banner would appear, analytics stays denied, the banner is suppressed and the decision is recorded locally with a flag noting that it came from the browser. Nothing else is required from the visitor, and the signal is honored on every page.
A direct request: Calling or emailing the shop works too, and it is the route to use for a request that reaches past the website into the shop's own records. Directions given this way are applied to the record held for the person making the request rather than to a browser.

One practical limitation applies to the first two routes and is worth stating rather than hiding. Because the decision is stored on the device that made it, opting out in one browser does not carry over to another browser, another computer or a phone. Clearing cookies and site data also clears the record. A browser that sends Global Privacy Control avoids the problem entirely, since the signal is sent on every request rather than remembered from an earlier one.

Making a request, and what happens next

The process below applies to an opt out direction and to any other California privacy right, including a request to know, to access, to delete or to correct.

Submitting a request: Call (949) 799-3387 during posted business hours and say you are making a do not sell or share request, or email info@ocrvcenter.com with the words opt out request in the subject line. Include the phone number or email address you would have used when contacting the shop, so the right record can be found. There is no form to fill in and no account to create.
Verification: A request is verified by matching the details supplied against the record already held. Two matching data points are usually enough: the phone number given on a submission plus the approximate date, for example, or the email address plus the vehicle type. No government identity document, social security number or payment detail is requested, and none should be sent. Where a request cannot be matched to any record, that is the answer given, and no new record is created in order to respond.
Authorized agents: Someone else may submit a request on your behalf. The agent needs written permission signed by you, and the shop may contact you directly to confirm both that permission was given and that the agent is acting within it. A person acting under a valid power of attorney does not need separate written permission. Agent requests are handled on the same timeline as any other.
No discrimination: Exercising any of these rights changes nothing about how a vehicle is treated. There is no different price, no different labor rate, no different position in the schedule, no reduced standard of work and no penalty of any kind. The shop does not operate a financial incentive program that would trade a discount for personal information, so there is nothing for an opt out to disqualify anyone from.
Timeline: An opt out is applied as soon as it is received and confirmed. Requests are acknowledged within ten business days and answered substantively within forty five calendar days of receipt. Where a request is genuinely complex, that window may be extended once by a further forty five days, and notice of the extension is given before the first window closes rather than after it. Opt out directions stay in force until they are withdrawn in writing.

Minors, and what is never collected

California requires an affirmative opt in before the personal information of a consumer under sixteen may be sold or shared. Nothing is sold or shared here, so there is nothing for that opt in to authorize, and the site is not directed at children in any case. Sensitive personal information is not solicited anywhere on this site. The contact form asks for a name, a phone number, an optional email address, a vehicle type and a description of the work, and none of those fields ask for a government identifier, a financial account, precise location, health data or biometric data.

Because none of that category is collected, the right to limit the use of sensitive personal information has nothing to attach to. It is listed on the privacy notice for completeness rather than because it is engaged.

If a request is denied

A request can be declined where identity cannot be verified against any record held, where an exemption in the statute applies, or where the request is manifestly unfounded or repetitive. When that happens the reason is put in writing along with the specific ground relied on, rather than being refused without explanation. A resident who believes a request was handled incorrectly may raise the matter with the California Privacy Protection Agency or with the California Attorney General, and this page says so because a route that is never mentioned is a route nobody takes.
