Google Ads Data Protection Terms
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a new data privacy law that applies to certain businesses which collect personal information from California residents. The new law goes into effect on January 1, 2020. Google already offers data protection terms pursuant to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe, and is now also offering service provider terms under the CCPA, which will supplement those existing data protection terms (revised to reflect the CCPA), effective January 1, 2020.
SILISPRO does not collect personal information from visitors who view Google AdSense Ads in California on this or on any of our affiliate sites.
