Last Updated: December 4, 2025
This notice applies to visitors and users of FirstLicenseGuide.com (“we”, “us”, “our”). If you are a California resident, the following rights and information disclosures apply under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) / California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) — and this page explains how we collect, use, and share personal information about you, and how you can exercise your rights.
1. Personal Information We Collect & Why
When you visit or interact with our site — including when you sign up for newsletters, submit forms, comment, or use our comparison tools — we may collect the following categories of personal information:
| Category | Examples / Description |
|---|---|
| Identifiers & Contact Data | Name, email address, contact form entries (if you provide them) |
| Internet / Device Data | IP address, browser and device type, operating system, location derived from IP (approximate), referral URL, pages visited, time/date of access, usage information and click behavior |
| Usage Data & Analytics | Cookies, session identifiers, browsing history on our site, interaction with content (which pages viewed), aggregated usage metrics |
| Inferred Preferences / Interests | Driving-education preferences, saved searches or viewed courses (if you opt in), newsletter interests |
Why we collect this information:
- To deliver the services you request (e.g., newsletter, article access, tools).
- To improve site performance and user experience.
- To communicate with you (respond to messages, support requests).
- To display relevant content, offers, or ads (in compliance with consent where required).
- For internal analytics and to prevent fraud or abuse.
We never collect sensitive personal information such as SSN, driver’s license number, precise geolocation, or health data unless you voluntarily submit such to a third-party provider — and those providers’ privacy policies govern that data.
2. Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell personal information. We may share or disclose data in the following circumstances:
- With service providers (e.g., analytics tools, hosting providers, email providers) who help us operate the site.
- With third-party partners or advertisers (but only aggregated or anonymized data, never personal identifiers) — and only if we have your consent where required.
- If required by law, court order, or to protect safety and rights.
3. Your CCPA Rights & How to Exercise Them
As a California resident, you have the following rights:
• Right to Know / Access
You can request a copy of the personal information we collected about you in the last 12 months, including categories of data, sources, purposes of collection, and any sharing or disclosure to third parties.
• Right to Deletion
You may ask us to delete personal information we collected from you — unless we are legally required to keep it (e.g., for fraud prevention, record-keeping, or legitimate business reasons).
• Right to Correct / Rectify
If the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate, you may request that we correct it.
• Right to Limit Use / Disclosure
You can request restrictions on how we use or disclose your personal information — especially for marketing or sale/sharing. (Note: we do not sell personal data.)
• Right to Non-Discrimination
You won’t be treated differently for exercising your CCPA rights (e.g., no denial of access, service, or pricing for making a request).
• Right to Opt-Out of Sale / Sharing
If we begin to sell or share personal information, you have the right to opt out. (Currently, we do not sell or share personal data beyond service providers for site operation.)
4. How to Submit a Request
To exercise any of these rights, you may contact us via:
- Email: support@firstlicenseguide.com
- Web form: Or fill the form here
When making a request, please provide sufficient information to verify your identity (name, email, or other relevant data) and clearly describe whether you are requesting access, deletion, correction, or opt-out. We will respond within the time frame required by law (generally 45 calendar days).
5. Retention & Security
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described (such as delivering services, maintaining records, complying with legal obligations, or for security/fraud prevention).
We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. However, no website or internet transmission can be guaranteed secure.
6. Children & Minors
Our website is not directed to children under 16. We encourage parents or guardians to monitor and guide online activity. If you believe we have collected personal information from a child under 16 without parental consent, you may contact us to request deletion.
7. Changes to This Notice
We may update this notice from time to time (e.g., when laws change, or our practices evolve). When we do, we will post the updated version here and update the “Last Updated” date. Continued use of FirstLicenseGuide.com after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised notice.
