California-Privacy-Policy

Last Updated: January 2026

On June 28, 2018, the State of California enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), granting California residents specific rights regarding their personal information. Effective January 1, 2020, businesses subject to the CCPA must provide transparency regarding data collection practices and honor consumer rights related to access, deletion, and opt-out of data sales or sharing.

This Privacy Notice for California Residents supplements the general Privacy Policy of EnggMedia (“we,” “our,” or “us”) and applies solely to individuals who reside in the State of California (“consumers,” “residents,” or “you”). Any terms defined under the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this notice.

EnggMedia is an engineering publishing platform that hosts, promotes, and distributes whitepapers, research reports, technical articles, eBooks, case studies, and industry resources for the manufacturing, engineering, industrial technology, and automation sectors.
