7) How to Submit a Request
To exercise your California privacy rights, you may submit a request using one of the following methods:
- Email us at: privacy@mattressreviewsguide.com
- Submit our Data Subject Rights Request Form.
- Use the cookie settings or privacy preferences available on the website, where provided.
We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests. Verification may require matching information you provide with information we maintain, such as email address, device information, request details, or other reasonable verification information.
8) Opt-Out Preference Signals
Where required by applicable law, we honor browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, as a request to opt out of sale or sharing for the browser or device that sends the signal.
You may also opt out of certain interest-based advertising through industry tools, including:
- Digital Advertising Alliance
- Network Advertising Initiative
- Mobile Device Opt-Out Information
- Global Privacy Control
Opting out of interest-based advertising does not mean you will stop seeing advertising. You may continue to see ads, but they may be less relevant to your interests.
9) Authorized Agents
You may designate an authorized agent to submit a CCPA request on your behalf. We may require the authorized agent to provide proof that you gave signed permission to submit the request, and we may also require you to verify your identity directly with us or confirm that you provided the authorized agent permission to act on your behalf.
We may deny a request from an authorized agent that does not provide sufficient proof of authorization.

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Notice, including providing and improving the website, measuring performance, maintaining records, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, preventing fraud, and enforcing agreements.
