Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
At The Sandpaper People, we prioritize your privacy and are committed to providing transparent information about how we collect, use, and share your personal information. In the course of your interactions with our website, including browsing, purchasing products, or engaging with content, we may collect personal data. We also share certain data with third-party service providers to deliver personalized services, including targeted advertisements and performance analytics.
This policy provides you with detailed options to opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal information as defined by various global privacy laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) in Canada.
What Personal Information Do We Collect and Share?
The Sandpaper People collects and shares personal data to deliver and improve our services. We gather the following categories of personal information:
- Identifiers: This includes your name, email address, IP address, and unique user identifiers.
- Commercial Information: Your order history, product preferences, and transactional data.
- Internet or Network Activity: This includes your browsing behavior on our website, search history, and interactions with products or pages.
- Geolocation Data: If permitted, we may use your location to provide more relevant products and services.
- Technical Data: Information about the devices you use to access our services, including browser type, operating system, and connection speed.
This information helps us tailor our services, such as personalized product recommendations and marketing communications. In some jurisdictions, sharing such information with third-party advertisers may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under privacy regulations.
Your Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing of Personal Information
Under various global privacy laws (e.g., CCPA, CPRA), you may have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for advertising or marketing purposes. Here’s how you can manage your privacy preferences with The Sandpaper People:
1. Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner. This allows you to control your preferences for non-essential cookies, which may include those used for advertising purposes. Declining these cookies will prevent us from using your personal data for targeted advertising or other cross-site tracking purposes.
- Adjust Cookie Settings: You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through the settings in your browser or device. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with your browser’s privacy settings to control cookie behavior for your online activities across all websites.
2. Global Privacy Control (GPC) Signals
If your browser supports Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals and you have enabled this feature, The Sandpaper People will treat this as an opt-out request for the sale or sharing of your personal information. This applies to the browser and device used to access our website, and it covers data shared with third-party advertisers for personalized advertising.
3. Direct Contact Opt-Out Request
If you prefer not to use cookie settings or GPC, you can contact us directly to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. Please send an email to csr@thesandpaperpeople.com with the subject line "Opt-Out Request." Be sure to include:
- Your full name
- The email address you use with our site
- Any relevant order information (if applicable)
We will process your request promptly, ensuring that your personal information is no longer shared with third-party partners for advertising or other purposes considered a sale of data.
What Happens After You Opt-Out?
Once you opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, The Sandpaper People will:
- Stop Sharing for Advertising: We will cease sharing your personal information with third parties for advertising, marketing, or other activities that may be considered a sale under applicable privacy laws.
- Maintain Your Opt-Out Status for 12 Months: Your opt-out preference will be maintained for a minimum of 12 months. After this period, we may contact you to renew your preferences if required by law.
- No Negative Consequences: Opting out will not impact your ability to use our website or purchase products. However, you may still receive contextual advertisements (non-targeted) that are not based on your browsing behavior.
Data Sharing and Service Providers
While The Sandpaper People does not sell personal information in exchange for direct monetary compensation, we may share your personal data with certain service providers and business partners to deliver services essential to our operations. For example, we work with third-party providers for:
- Payment processing and fraud detection
- Order fulfillment and shipping

- Analytics to understand how our users engage with our website and improve site performance
