California Online Privacy Protection Act
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and
online
services to post a privacy policy. The law's reach stretches well beyond California to require any
person or
company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting
Personally
Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its
website
stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is
being
shared. - See more at:

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the
age
of 13
years old, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal
Trade
Commission, United States' consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out
what
operators of websites and online services must do to protect children's privacy and safety
online.
We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.
Fair Information Practices
The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the
United
States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data
protection
laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be
implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal
information.
In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the
following
responsive action, should a data breach occur:
We will notify you via email
• Within 1 business day
We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that
individuals
have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail
to
adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against
data
users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate
and/or
prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
