California Privacy Policy | DolRise | DolRise

Introduction

This California Privacy Policy Addendum explains how DolRise complies with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). This Addendum applies to individuals who are residents of the State of California and supplements DolRise’s Global Privacy Policy.

DolRise is a social platform built with a privacy-first philosophy. While DolRise seeks to minimise the collection and retention of personal information, certain features of the service require the processing of specific data to comply with legal and financial obligations.

In particular, where users choose to participate in monetisation features, withdrawals, or other financial transactions, DolRise may be required to collect and process identity verification information (Know Your Customer, or KYC), including government-issued identification, as well as limited financial details such as bank account information.

Such information is collected solely for purposes including identity verification, fraud prevention, regulatory compliance, and the secure operation of payment and withdrawal systems. DolRise does not use KYC or financial information for advertising, behavioural profiling, or unrelated purposes.

Personal information subject to KYC or financial compliance requirements is handled with heightened safeguards. DolRise applies technical and organisational security measures, including encryption and restricted access controls, and retains such information only for as long as required by applicable law or operational necessity.

This Addendum should be read together with DolRise’s Global Privacy Policy. Where this Addendum provides additional rights or disclosures required by California law, it applies only to California residents and only to the extent required by the CCPA and CPRA.

By providing this Addendum, DolRise aims to ensure transparency regarding its data practices in California and to support the rights granted to California residents under applicable privacy laws.

Scope & Applicability

This California Privacy Policy Addendum applies to individuals who are residents of the State of California, as defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).

This Addendum supplements DolRise’s Global Privacy Policy and provides disclosures and rights specific to California law. It applies where DolRise processes personal information of California residents in the course of providing its services.

Where this Addendum addresses matters that are subject to specific requirements under California law, it takes precedence over the Global Privacy Policy solely for California residents and only to the extent required by the CCPA and CPRA.

This Addendum does not expand the categories of personal information collected or the purposes for which personal information is processed beyond those described in the Global Privacy Policy. Its purpose is to clarify how California privacy law applies to DolRise’s existing data practices.

DolRise provides its services on a consistent basis worldwide. However, because privacy rights and legal obligations may vary by jurisdiction, this Addendum ensures that California residents receive the protections and disclosures required under applicable California law.

This Addendum does not apply to individuals who are not California residents, unless California law is otherwise determined to apply to their personal information.

Categories of Personal Information Collected

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), DolRise is required to disclose the categories of personal information it collects from California residents. This section describes the types of personal information that may be collected, depending on how users interact with the service.

DolRise follows a data minimisation approach. Personal information is collected only where necessary for the operation of the service, compliance with legal obligations, security, or user-requested features.

Identifiers. This may include information such as a username, email address, or other account identifiers provided by the user for the purpose of creating and managing an account.

Internet or platform activity information.This may include information about interactions with the service, such as views, feature usage, or other activity necessary to operate and secure the platform. This information is not used for targeted advertising.

Financial information. Where users choose to participate in monetisation features, payments, or withdrawals, DolRise may collect limited financial information, such as bank account details, solely for the purpose of processing transactions and complying with financial regulations.

Identity verification (KYC) information. In certain circumstances, DolRise may be required to collect government-issued identification to verify user identity and comply with applicable laws. Such information is processed only where legally required and is protected using appropriate technical and organisational security measures, including encryption and restricted access.

User-generated content. This includes content that users voluntarily create or share on the platform, such as text, images, audio, or other materials, subject to user privacy settings and controls.

DolRise does not knowingly collect precise geolocation data, biometric information, or other sensitive personal information unless such collection is strictly required by law. Personal information is not sold or shared for cross-context behavioural advertising purposes.

Purposes for Collection & Use

DolRise collects and uses personal information for specific, explicit, and legitimate purposes, in accordance with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). Personal information is processed only where necessary to operate the service, comply with legal obligations, and protect users and the platform.

Service operation and account management.Personal information may be used to create, maintain, and secure user accounts, enable access to platform features, and ensure that the service functions as intended.

Security, fraud prevention, and abuse detection.Information may be used to monitor for suspicious activity, prevent fraud, protect users, and safeguard the integrity of DolRise’s systems, including where financial transactions or monetisation features are involved.

Legal and regulatory compliance.DolRise may process personal information where required to comply with applicable laws, regulations, or lawful requests, including obligations related to financial compliance, identity verification (KYC), and anti-fraud measures.

Payments and monetisation features.Where users choose to participate in payments, withdrawals, or monetisation programmes, personal and financial information may be used solely to process such transactions in a secure and lawful manner.

Service improvement.DolRise may use aggregated or de-identified information to understand how the service is used, diagnose issues, and improve platform performance. This does not involve targeted advertising or cross-context behavioural profiling.

User communications.Personal information may be used to communicate with users regarding service updates, policy changes, security notices, or responses to user enquiries and requests.

DolRise does not use personal information for selling data, targeted advertising, or automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects without human involvement.

Consumer Rights under the CCPA and CPRA

California residents are granted specific rights regarding their personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). DolRise respects and supports these rights as described below.

Right to Know. You have the right to request information about the categories of personal information collected about you, the purposes for which it is used, the categories of sources from which it is collected, and whether such information is disclosed to third parties.

Right of Access. You have the right to request access to the personal information DolRise holds about you, subject to applicable legal limitations and verification requirements.

Right to Correction. You have the right to request that inaccurate or incomplete personal information be corrected, taking into account the nature of the information and the purposes for which it is processed.

Right to Deletion. You have the right to request the deletion of personal information, subject to certain exceptions where retention is required or permitted by law, such as for security, fraud prevention, or legal compliance.

Right to Limit the Use of Sensitive Personal Information.Where applicable under the CPRA, you may request that the use of certain sensitive personal information be limited to what is necessary to perform services or comply with legal obligations.

Right to Non-Discrimination. You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising your privacy rights. DolRise will not deny services, charge different prices, or provide a different level or quality of service solely because you exercised your rights.

Automated Decision-Making. DolRise does not engage in automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects on users without meaningful human involvement. If this practice changes, appropriate disclosures and rights will be provided in accordance with applicable law.

Requests to exercise these rights may be subject to identity verification to protect your personal information and prevent unauthorized access.

Sensitive Personal Information (CPRA)

The California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) identifies certain categories of personal information as “Sensitive Personal Information.” These categories require heightened safeguards due to their nature and the potential impact on individual privacy if misused.

Sensitive Personal Information may include, where applicable, government-issued identification, financial account details, information used for identity verification (KYC), and security credentials associated with an account.

DolRise collects and processes Sensitive Personal Information only where strictly necessary to provide requested services, comply with legal or regulatory obligations, prevent fraud, or protect the integrity of the platform. Such information is not collected by default and is required only in specific circumstances, such as participation in monetisation features or financial transactions.

Sensitive Personal Information is used solely for limited and defined purposes, including identity verification, payment processing, compliance with financial regulations, and security-related functions. DolRise does not use Sensitive Personal Information for advertising, behavioural profiling, or commercial data monetisation.

DolRise applies enhanced technical and organisational security measures to protect Sensitive Personal Information. These measures include encryption, restricted access controls, and internal policies designed to minimise access and reduce the risk of unauthorised disclosure.

California residents have the right, under the CPRA, to limit the use and disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information to what is necessary to perform services or comply with legal obligations. DolRise respects this right and structures its data practices accordingly.

Sensitive Personal Information is retained only for as long as required to fulfil its intended purpose or meet applicable legal requirements. Once no longer necessary, such information is securely deleted or rendered non-identifiable.

Data Retention

DolRise retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, and to maintain the security and integrity of the platform, in accordance with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).

Account and service data. Information required to operate and maintain a user account is retained for the duration of the account’s active status. Where an account is closed, personal information is deleted or de-identified, except where continued retention is required or permitted by law.

Identity verification and financial information.Where personal information is collected for identity verification (KYC), monetisation, payments, or withdrawals, such information is retained only for the period required by applicable financial, anti-fraud, or regulatory laws. Once those obligations are satisfied, the information is securely deleted or rendered non-identifiable.

Security and operational logs. Certain technical or security-related information may be retained for a limited period to detect, prevent, or investigate fraud, abuse, or system misuse. Such information is not retained indefinitely and is periodically reviewed for deletion.

Aggregated or de-identified data. DolRise may retain aggregated or de-identified information for analytical and service improvement purposes. This information does not identify individual users and is not treated as personal information under California law.

DolRise does not retain emotional signals or emotion-related inference data as permanent records. Such information, where used, is subject to time-based expiry and decay mechanisms designed to prevent long-term profiling or historical emotional storage.

Retention periods are reviewed periodically to ensure that personal information is not kept longer than necessary. DolRise’s retention practices are designed to support user privacy, reduce security risks, and comply with applicable California law.

How to Exercise Your California Privacy Rights

California residents may exercise their privacy rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) by submitting a verifiable consumer request to DolRise.

Requests may include, where applicable, the right to know, access, correct, delete, or limit the use of certain personal information, as provided under California law.

To submit a privacy-related request, you may contact DolRise using the designated privacy contact details provided in this policy. Requests must include sufficient information to allow DolRise to reasonably verify your identity and understand the nature of your request.

DolRise may require additional information for identity verification purposes in order to protect personal information from unauthorised access or disclosure. Any information collected for verification is used solely for that purpose.

DolRise will respond to verifiable consumer requests within the timeframe required by applicable law, generally within forty-five (45) days. Where an extension is permitted, DolRise will inform you of the reason for the delay and the expected response timeframe.

Certain requests may be denied or limited where permitted by law, including where compliance would conflict with legal obligations, security requirements, fraud prevention measures, or the rights of other individuals. Where applicable, DolRise will provide an explanation for such decisions.

DolRise does not discriminate against individuals for exercising their privacy rights. Exercising these rights will not result in the denial of services, different pricing, or a reduced level of service, except as permitted by law.
