CCPA Compliance

At Blockchain & Crypto Resource Center - Southeast Asia (BCRC-SEA), we are committed to respecting your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and its amendment, the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). This page explains how these laws apply to our informational website and how you can exercise your rights.

Scope and Applicability

The CCPA/CPRA applies to California residents. While BCRC-SEA is an informational blog focused on blockchain and cryptocurrency in Southeast Asia, we may collect certain personal information automatically through website analytics, cookies, and server logs. This page outlines how we handle such data in compliance with California law.

Your Rights Under CCPA/CPRA

As a California resident, you have the following rights:

• Right to Know: You can request details about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you in the past 12 months.
• Right to Delete: You may request deletion of your personal information we have collected, subject to certain exceptions.
• Right to Opt-Out: You have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. While we do not sell personal information for monetary consideration, we may use cookies and analytics tools that involve sharing data with third-party service providers for analytics purposes.
• Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not deny you goods or services, charge different prices, or provide a different level of service because you exercised your CCPA/CPRA rights.
• Right to Authorize an Agent: You may designate an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf. We may require proof of authorization before honoring such requests.

How We Comply

BCRC-SEA does not maintain user accounts, collect email addresses for registration, or store personal information in a database. We only collect limited, automatically generated data such as:

• IP addresses (anonymized where possible)
• Browser type and device information
• Pages visited and time spent on site
• Cookies and similar tracking technologies for analytics and functionality

We use third-party analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) that operate under contractual obligations to protect your data. We do not sell personal information as defined under CCPA/CPRA.

Data We Process

Under CCPA/CPRA, the personal information we may collect includes:

• Internet or other electronic network activity information (e.g., browsing history, interaction with our website)
• Device identifiers and IP addresses
• Geolocation data (approximate, derived from IP address)

We do not collect, store, or process names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, or financial information.

Legal Basis for Processing

Our processing of personal information is based on legitimate interest to provide an informative, functional, and secure website experience. We do not use personal information for profiling or targeted advertising.
