We complete any opt-out request as quickly as we can. This opt-out request won’t prohibit us from sending you important nonmarketing notices.

California Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, you have certain rights with respect to your personal information.
At or before the time of collection, you have a right to receive notice of our practices, including the categories of personal information and sensitive personal information to be collected, the purposes for which such information is collected or used, whether such information is sold or shared and how long such information is retained. You can find those details in this Privacy Policy by clicking on the above links.
ii. Rights to Know, Correction and Deletion
You have a right to request that we disclose to you the personal information we have collected about you. You also have a right to request additional information about our collection, use, disclosure, or sale of such personal information. Note that we have provided much of this information in this Privacy Policy. You also have rights to request that we correct inaccurate personal information and that we delete personal information under certain circumstances, subject to a number of exceptions.
Please see Access, Correct, Change/Update, Delete, or Restrict Processing of Your Personal Information above for details, including on how to exercise these rights and how we verify your identity.
iii. “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information”
To the extent The New York Times Company “sells” your personal information (as the term “sell” is defined under the CCPA), you have the right to opt-out of that “sale” on a going-forward basis at any time.
If you’re a California resident, you have a right to opt-out from the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information with third parties who are not our service providers (as those terms are defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act and the California Privacy Rights Act, or “CCPA” for short in this Policy). To exercise this right, click the Do Not Sell/Share My Information link on the bottom of the webpage where your information is being collected or go to “Account” and then “Settings” and “About This App” and click the “Do Not Sell/Share My Information” link there. You can also submit a request to opt-out by emailing us at [email protected] with the subject line “California Resident – Do Not Sell or Share.” Finally, if your browser supports it, you can turn on the Global Privacy Control to opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information.
If you have an account with certain Times Services (specifically nytimes.com, cooking.nytimes.com, nytimes.com/crosswords, the New York Times app, the New York Times Cooking app and the New York Times Games app) and are logged in, we will save your preference and honor your opt-out request across browsers and devices so long as you remain logged in. If you are not logged in, or do not have an account with any Times Services listed above, your opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information will be specific to the browser or device from which you have clicked “Do Not Sell/Share My Personal Information” and until you clear your cookies (or local storage in apps) on this browser or device.
We do not knowingly “sell” or “share” (as those terms are defined by the CCPA) the personal information of minors under 16 years old.
iv. Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information
If you are a California resident, effective January 1, 2023, you have a right to limit our use of sensitive personal information for any purposes other than to provide the services or goods you request or as otherwise permitted by law. To opt-out from such additional purposes, contact us via this form or by calling us at our toll-free number, 1-800-NYTIMES.
You can designate an authorized agent to make a request to exercise your rights under the CCPA on your behalf. In order to do that, please provide the agent with written permission, signed by you, authorizing the agent to submit the request on your behalf. The agent must submit that written permission along with the request. We will contact you to verify your identity — and the authorized agent’s permission — before a response to the request is sent.
You may exercise any of your rights listed in this section without fear of unlawful discrimination.
We keep a record of requests that we received from California residents.
For data deletion and data access requests, our readers submit requests through our intake form. In the intake form, they mark whether they reside in California. We then send an identity verification email to the user. If the user does not verify their identity in 45 days, their request will be denied. If the user does verify in 45 days, we begin to fulfill their request.
We have calculated our median process time for verified data deletion and data access requests. Any requests completed within the same day are rounded to one day. The median process time is found by organizing the processing time of each verified request from lowest to highest. The middle number is the median.
