California’s Shine the Light Act, means you are permitted to request information if we share certain categories of information with third parties for marketing use.

We may disclose your personal information to our affiliates or other related third parties such as service providers, or vendors for their use in marketing to you, so we can provide the products and/or services offered on this website to you. When we disclose such information, your personal information is still kept confidential and between us and that third party.

Your verifiable consumer request must provide sufficient information that allows us to verify that you are the person you are claiming to be or that you are the authorized representative of the person about whom we had collected personal information. You must describe your request with such details as your first and last name, your full address, and your country.  This will allow us to properly understand the request and correctly respond to it. Please note we cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information unless we first verify your identity or authority to make such a request and confirm that the personal information relates to you. We will make all attempts to respond to your request within 30 days of receipt.

Advertiser Disclosure

You are my first priority.

Finding Chantel has been created by me, an independent publisher. I am not an advisor I am trying to help others. I include articles, interactive tools, and other content that is provided to you for free. As self-help tools and for informational purposes only. They are not intended to provide advice.

Finding Chantel does not and cannot guarantee the accuracy or applicability of any information in regard to your individual circumstances. I encourage you to seek professional advice from qualified professionals regarding specific issues.

I believe everyone should be able to make their own decisions with confidence. And while my site doesn’t feature every company or product available on the market. I am proud that the guidance I offer, the information I provide and the tools I create are free and hopefully helpful.

So how do I make money? My partners compensate me. This may influence which products I review and write about (and where those products appear on my site), but it in no way affects my recommendations or advice.
