How to exercise your privacy rights. If you are interested in exercising your right to know, delete, or correct your Personal Information, or to request a list of categories of third parties or a specific list of third parties, please contact us at contact@castbox.fm. Please put the statement "Your Privacy Rights" in the subject field of your email.

Our processing of sensitive personal information. Precise geolocation information that we collect is not used to infer characteristics about you or for any purpose other than the limited permissible purposes set forth in the regulations implementing California law. Such purposes include providing our Services, identifying and correcting system errors that you report, and verifying, maintaining the quality of, and improving our Services.
