Notice of Your Rights

California residents also have the right to submit a request for deletion of information under certain circumstances.
SHINE THE LIGHT. Drudge Report does not collect or share any Personal Information as defined by California Civil Code section 1798.83. Therefore, the California "Shine the Light" law does not apply to the Drudge Report. Any requests for processing of information collection under "Shine the Light" will be legally rejected because they are not applicable.
RIGHT TO NON-DESCRIMINATION. Consistent with California law, if you choose to exercise your rights under the CCPA, we will not provide different quality of services unless those differences are related to your information.
