Privacy Policy & Data Rights

This site receives paid clicks today: advertising platforms that send traffic here include Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, and Meta Ads. Specifically, google ads, microsoft advertising, and Meta Ads deliver prospective clients seeking home care services in Oregon City and the Portland metropolitan area. Nothing on this site states, implies, or claims that an advertising platform has reviewed, approved, or verified this site.

When a visitor clicks a sponsored link on these networks, the originating platform appends a unique click identifier to the destination URL:

These identifiers (gclid, msclkid, fbclid) are evaluated to assess campaign effectiveness and reduce advertising costs across our regional care market.

Under Consent Mode v2: the four signals are held denied until the visitor allows storage, and set back to denied when they decline. Our site integrates directly with Google consent mode v2:

• ad_storage: Held denied until visitor allows storage, and set back to denied upon declining or withdrawing.
• ad_user_data: Held denied until visitor allows storage, and set back to denied upon declining or withdrawing.
• ad_personalization: Held denied until visitor allows storage, and set back to denied upon declining or withdrawing.
• analytics_storage: Held denied until visitor allows storage, and set back to denied upon declining or withdrawing.

Only when a visitor explicitly selects "Accept" are these four parameters updated to granted. If a visitor selects "Decline", closes the notice without selection, or changes their choice later via our management trigger, each parameter is immediately set back to denied. No marketing pixel executes until permitted.

We fully recognize and honour the global privacy control (GPC) specification. Global Privacy Control (the Sec-GPC header) is honoured as an opt-out without asking again. When our web server detects an active GPC opt-out signal, our systems process that header as an immediate instruction to decline all third-party analytics and ad storage. The consent state is locked to denied without displaying repeated prompt dialogues.

Data collected through our digital interfaces is processed by named third-party infrastructure providers under formal confidentiality terms:

• Google LLC / Google Ireland Ltd: Processes Google Ads attribution telemetry and Consent Mode v2 signals. Details available at Google policies.
• Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd: Coordinates search ad attribution through Microsoft Advertising. You can review their official handling practices via the Microsoft privacy statement at https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement (privacy.microsoft.com).
• Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd / Meta Platforms, Inc.: Evaluates attribution queries for campaigns placed across Meta ad interfaces.
• Hosting Provider & Mail Route: The secure hosting provider that serves this site and stores the inquiry database, and the certified mail provider that carries intake notification messages directly to our operator inbox in Oregon City.

Every data category collected through our digital channels is used for defined purposes:

• Direct evaluation of non-acute in-home care feasibility across Oregon City and Portland.
• Direct telephone or email consultation between agency managers and family caregivers.
• Care schedule matching, caregiver qualification alignment, and initial travel radius planning.
• Maintenance of web security, prevention of automated spam attacks, and audit logging.
• Attribution verification for paid advertising campaigns without outcome or clinical over-promising.

Caring Companion Caregivers maintains strictly commercial advertising relationships with Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, and Meta Ads. Nothing on this website states, suggests, or claims that any advertising platform has reviewed, approved, or verified our agency or home care services.

We ground all processing activities in recognized legal bases under state and international privacy regulations — consent, contract, legitimate interest — said explicitly for each purpose:

We store personal records for fixed, audited time windows. Retention periods are stated as real periods, not indefinite phrasing:

• Enquiries and their email copies: Exactly 18 months from the date of submission, allowing review of historical care requests, seasonal scheduling, or prospective re-enrollment.
• Chat transcripts: Stored on secure servers for exactly 12 months, after which conversation records are pruned automatically.
• Server and access logs: Retained for exactly 90 days, after which rotating log files are overwritten and deleted.
• The record of a consent choice: Persisted in the visitor's local browser under site_consent_v2 for exactly 12 months, after which the selection must be renewed.
• Data requests: A data request is answered within 14 days.

We apply modern physical, technical, and administrative controls to protect care records. Web communications are forced over HTTPS using Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3). Form inputs pass through server-side sanitization to thwart injection attacks, access to inquiry databases is restricted via key-based administrative authentication, and internal files are backed up to encrypted storage volumes. Physical consultation records maintained at our 502 7th St suite in Oregon City are held in locked cabinets accessible only by authorized agency managers.

Our agency operates within the United States. Where communications or technical data pass to third-party processors operating infrastructure across international borders (such as Google or Microsoft European subsidiaries), transfers rely on recognized legal transfer mechanisms, including standard contractual clauses (SCCs) and adherence to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

Residents of California, Oregon, and other states with comprehensive consumer data privacy statutes possess specific legal rights regarding their personal information. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (ccpa / CPRA):

• Right to Know: You may request disclosure of the specific pieces and categories of personal information we have collected about you over the preceding twelve months.
• Right to Delete: You have the right to request deletion of personal information collected through our intake channels, subject to legal record retention requirements.
• Right to Correct: You may request correction of inaccurate intake records or client coordinates.
• Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing: Caring Companion Caregivers does not sell personal information for monetary compensation. To the extent third-party marketing tags are classified as "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising, you may opt out at any time using our cookie settings or via Global Privacy Control.
• Right to Non-Discrimination: We will never deny services, charge differing hourly rates, or diminish care quality because you exercised statutory privacy protections.

For individuals navigating this website from Europe (the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland), the General Data Protection Regulation (gdpr) affords complete protection over personal information, with the GDPR rights in full:

• Access: The right of access to verify and review what data is held.
• Rectification: The right to rectification of incomplete or inaccurate intake records.
• Erasure: The right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") when data is no longer necessary.
• Restriction: The right to restriction of processing during ongoing verification disputes.
• Portability: The right to data portability in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
• Objection: The right to objection against processing based on legitimate interests.
• Withdrawing consent: The right to withdrawing consent at any time without retroactive penalty.

You hold the legal right to submit complaints concerning our privacy practices directly to regulatory oversight authorities. United States residents may contact the Consumer Protection Division of the Oregon Attorney General, or the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) for California residents. Visitors subject to European jurisdiction may lodge an appeal with their national Data Protection Authority (DPA) or the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) in the United Kingdom.

To exercise your statutory rights to access, review, correct, or delete your intake records, you may file a formal Data Subject Access Request (DSAR). We process verified requests at zero fee.

Statutory Response Timeline: A data request is answered within 14 days of receipt. We will confirm intake identity using your registered telephone or email before releasing or modifying records to prevent unauthorized account exposure.

Caring Companion Caregivers is committed to digital accessibility for all visitors, including individuals with visual, cognitive, and motor impairments. This website is structured to conform with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA and Section 508 standards.
