Privacy Notice for California Users
Last updated: Aug 29, 2026
Notification Regarding Your Right to Opt-Out of Personal Information Sale
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have the right to opt out of the sale of their personal information. This notice explains what constitutes a "sale" under the CCPA, how personal information may be "shared," the consequences of opting out, and how to submit an opt-out request.
Definition of the "Sale" of Personal Information
Under the CCPA, a "sale" of personal information is broadly defined as selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating a consumer's personal information to a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration.
However, many common disclosures of personal information do not constitute a "sale" under the CCPA, including:
- Service providers: Disclosures to service providers who process personal information on our behalf under a written contract that restricts their use of the data.
- Intentional disclosure: Situations where a consumer intentionally directs us to disclose their personal information to a third party or uses us to interact with a third party.
- Business transfers: Transfers of personal information as part of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or other transaction in which the third party assumes control of all or part of our business.
Understanding the "Sharing" of Personal Information
Under the CCPA, "sharing" means communicating a consumer's personal information to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising, whether or not for monetary or other valuable consideration. Cross-context behavioral advertising is the targeting of advertising to a consumer based on the consumer's personal information obtained from the consumer's activity across businesses, distinctly-branded websites, applications, or services, other than the business, distinctly-branded website, application, or service with which the consumer intentionally interacts.
Consequences of Opting Out of Personal Information Sale/Sharing
If you submit a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, we will comply within 15 business days. Once we process your opt-out request, we will not sell or share your personal information unless you subsequently provide authorization for us to do so.
We will also notify any third parties to whom we have sold or shared your personal information within 90 days prior to your opt-out request that you have exercised your right to opt out and instruct them to stop selling or sharing your personal information.
Procedure for Submitting an Opt-Out Request
To submit a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, you may contact us at:
- Email: support@utobo.com
Please include "Opt-Out of Sale/Sharing" in the subject line of your email and provide your name and any other information necessary for us to identify your account and process your request.
Note: If you are not logged in to your Utobo account, your opt-out request will only apply to the browser from which you submitted the request. To ensure your opt-out preference is applied across all devices and sessions, please log in to your account before submitting your request.
SMS and Text Messaging
We collect your mobile phone number only when you provide it and expressly opt in — either verbally during a phone call with utobo, or by submitting it through our text-messaging opt-in form. We use your number solely to send the follow-ups, links, and account or service updates you asked us to send.
We do not sell, rent, or share your mobile opt-in information or phone number with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes. Your mobile opt-in and consent are never shared with any third party.
Message frequency varies based on your requests and interactions. Message and data rates may apply. You can opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP; reply HELP for help, or contact us at support@utobo.com.
