Many U.S. states have privacy laws that grant additional rights regarding data privacy. This applies to states such as California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Oregon, Texas, and others—collectively referred to as “Covered Jurisdictions.”
These rights may include:
- Notice of our data collection practices, including the types of personal information we collect, how we use it, and with whom it is shared. This Privacy Policy serves that purpose.

- Correction of any inaccurate data we hold about you.

However, some of these rights are not absolute. For example:

- We may be legally unable to provide certain sensitive details (such as credit card numbers), even if you request access under state law.
- We may keep de-identified data derived from your personal information even after a deletion request, provided it can no longer be linked back to you.

Opting Out of Targeted Advertising and Cross-Site Marketing
Sinapsis News does not sell your personal data for monetary gain.
However, in some U.S. states, the use of online tracking technologies for advertising purposes may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of your data.
You can opt out of the use of your data for targeted or cross-contextual behavioral advertising by following these methods:
- The “Your Privacy Choices” Link: Located in our website footer, this link allows you to disable “data sales and sharing.” When activated, it sets a flag in your browser profile to block advertising trackers from running on our site. Note that this opt-out flag is stored as a first-party cookie, so you will need to opt out again if you switch browsers or clear your cookies.
- The GLOBAL PRIVACY CONTROL (GPC) Setting: We support the Global Privacy Control signal. You can use a browser with built-in GPC support (such as Firefox or Brave) or install a plugin (like Privacy Badger). If we detect the GPC signal, we will automatically block targeted advertising trackers from running on your browser. However, note that some plugins might inadvertently block functional cookies, affecting our Services.
- The Privacy Center: Occasionally, we may share subscriber data with third parties to deliver relevant ads or promote our Services on external platforms like LinkedIn. To prevent this, visit our Privacy Center and choose “Manage Consent Preferences.” You will be asked to verify your email so we can flag your account as opted out of third-party data sharing for marketing. Please note, you will still need to opt out of targeted advertising at the browser level using the “Your Privacy Choices” link or GPC if you wish to fully block advertising trackers.
You will still see ads on our Services even if you opt out of data sales, sharing, and targeted advertising. However, these ads will not be personalized based on cross-contextual behavioral data. At present, we do not offer an ad-free experience.
