Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

1. What "sell" and "share" mean here

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively the "CCPA/CPRA"), Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.140:

• "Sell" means selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating personal information to a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration.
• "Share" means disclosing personal information to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising, whether or not for monetary consideration.

Nova engages in neither. Our payments are user subscriptions to Nova; we are not paid by data brokers, ad networks, or any third party in exchange for your information. We do not run third-party advertising on Nova.

2. What we do with vendors

Nova uses service providers (sometimes called "subprocessors") to operate. These vendors process your data only on Nova's instructions and under written contract that prohibits any independent use. Under CCPA/CPRA, transfer to a service provider that meets the statutory tests is not a "sale" or "share."

Our vendor list and the specific data each one processes is detailed in the Privacy Policy.

3. Global Privacy Control (GPC)

CPRA Cal. Code Regs. tit. 11, § 7025 requires businesses to recognize the Global Privacy Control browser signal as a valid opt-out request. When your browser sends the Sec-GPC: 1 header or sets navigator.globalPrivacyControl = true, Nova treats your visit as opted out of any "sale" or "share" of personal information — even though we do not engage in either — and our cookie consent layer auto-suppresses non-essential analytics for the session.

You can enable GPC in browsers like Brave, DuckDuckGo, Firefox (about:config privacy.globalprivacycontrol.enabled), and many privacy extensions.

4. Make an explicit opt-out request

You can also tell us directly. Choose any of:

• Email privacy@novasystems.app with the subject "CCPA Opt-Out Request" and the email address you use with Nova.
• Sign in and go to Companion Profile → Privacy & Data for the in-product opt-out toggle.
• Use an authorized agent to submit on your behalf — we will require reasonable verification per CPRA § 7063.

We will confirm receipt within 10 business days and complete the request within 15 business days, consistent with CPRA § 7026(f)(2).

5. Other rights

Beyond the right to opt out, California residents and residents of states with analogous laws (Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Florida, Tennessee, Iowa, Indiana, Delaware, New Hampshire, Minnesota, Maryland, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Montana, Nebraska, Kentucky) also have the rights to know, access, delete, correct, and port their personal information, and to opt out of profiling for significant decisions.

See the Privacy Policy for how to exercise those, including the in-product Data Export and Delete Account features.

6. No discrimination

Nova will not deny you service, charge you a different price, or provide a lesser experience because you exercised your privacy rights, as required by CPRA § 1798.125(a).
