Overview

OptMeowt allows Web users to make use of their rights to opt out from the sale and sharing of personal data

With the introduction of privacy regulations such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) Web users have a right to limit the sale and sharing of their personal information. OptMeowt automates the process of sending Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals indicating the users' preferences upon visiting a website. Learn more about Global Privacy Control at https://globalprivacycontrol.org/. If you encounter an issue with your use of OptMeowt, feel free to check our FAQ \ Known quirks section at https://github.com/privacy-tech-lab/gpc-optmeowt/wiki/FAQ-%5C-Known-quirks or send us an email. Note: We do not collect any data from you. Third parties will also not receive your data. The permissions OptMeowt is using are required for opting you out. You can learn more and view the source code at https://github.com/privacy-tech-lab/gpc-optmeowt.
