California-Privacy-Policy

Last Updated: 01/04/2026

This Privacy Notice for California Residents supplements the general Privacy Policy of ITInfoReports (“we,” “our,” or “us”) and applies solely to visitors, users, and subscribers who reside in the State of California (“consumers” or “you”). We adopt this notice to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) and the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”). Any terms defined in the CCPA/CPRA have the same meaning when used in this notice.

ITInfoReports is a digital publishing and research platform that hosts, promotes, and distributes information technology whitepapers, research reports, technical case studies, eBooks, and market intelligence resources for IT professionals, developers, and technology decision-makers.

1. Categories of Personal Information We Collect

We collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, or can reasonably be linked—directly or indirectly—with a particular consumer or device.

Within the past twelve (12) months, ITInfoReports may have collected the following categories of personal information:

  • Identifiers: Name, company name, corporate job title, business email address, corporate mailing address, telephone number, Internet Protocol (IP) address, and unique online identifiers.

  • California Customer Records Information: Contact details, professional responsibilities, and employment information.

  • Protected Classification Characteristics: Salutations or prefixes (e.g., Mr., Ms., Dr.) if voluntarily provided during registration.

  • Internet or Electronic Network Activity: Browsing patterns, whitepaper and tech report download history, content interactions, clickstream data, device types, and browser specifications.

  • Professional or Employment Information: Job function, seniority level, industry sector, corporate size, and professional IT purchasing authority.

Note on Sensitive Personal Data: ITInfoReports caters strictly to a professional B2B audience. We do not collect highly sensitive personal data such as social security numbers, driver’s licenses, precise geolocation, financial account numbers, or health data.

2. Sources of Personal Information

We gather the categories of personal information listed above from the following sources:

  • Directly From You: When you register for an account, subscribe to tech newsletters, register for webinars, or download research reports.

  • Automated Tracking Technologies: Cookies, tracking pixels, and analytics software as you navigate our platform.

  • Publishing Partners & Enterprise Sponsors: Co-marketing alliances or professional verification tools used to ensure audience accuracy.

3. Why We Collect and Use Personal Information

We process your professional information for legitimate operational and business purposes, including:

Platform & Subscription Services

  • Providing access to gated IT whitepapers, market reports, and technical briefs.

  • Delivering tailored technology newsletters and editorial updates.

  • Managing user accounts and verifying professional identities.

Content Distribution & Sponsor Fulfillment

  • Assisting enterprise technology vendors in distributing their technical resources to the correct target audience.

  • Aggregating anonymized demographic data to build insight segments based on professional technology interests.

  • Providing engagement analytics (e.g., job title and company name) to the third-party sponsors of specific downloadable reports.

Operational Security & Optimization

  • Debugging, maintaining, and improving our platform’s functionality.

  • Detecting security incidents, protecting against malicious activity, and preventing fraud.

4. Sharing, Sale, or Cross-Contextual Behavioral Advertising

We do not sell your personal data for monetary compensation. However, under California law, sharing professional business contact details (such as name, job title, company, and business email) with an enterprise technology sponsor when you download their specific sponsored whitepaper or report may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Data Disclosures in the Past 12 Months

In the preceding 12 months, we may have disclosed professional identifiers and internet activity data to:

  • Content Sponsors: Tech vendors whose whitepapers or webinars you explicitly choose to access.

  • Service Providers: Infrastructure hosts, email distribution engines, and data analytics providers operating under strict confidentiality contracts.
