11. Your
Data Protection Rights under the California Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)
CalOPPA is the first state law in the
nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy
policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or
company in the United States (and conceivable the world) that operates websites
collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to
post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the
information being collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared,
and to comply with this policy.
According to CalOPPA we agree to the
following:
0.1. users can visit our site
anonymously;
0.2. our Privacy Policy link includes the
word “Privacy”, and can easily be found on the home page of our website;
0.3. users will be notified of any
privacy policy changes on our Privacy Policy Page;
0.4. users are able to change their
personal information by emailing us at info@sankhabooks.lk.

is in place. Do Not Track is a preference you can set in your web browser to
inform websites that you do not want to be tracked.
You can enable or disable Do Not Track by
visiting the Preferences or Settings page of your web browser.

California law. You are the only owner of your Personal Data and can request
disclosure or deletion at any time.
If you submit a request to stop selling
your personal information, we will stop making such transfers.
Please note, if you ask us to delete or
stop selling your data, it may impact your experience with us, and you may not
