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: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf
According to CalOPPA, we agree
to the following:
Users can visit our
site anonymously.
Once this privacy
policy is created, we will add a link to it on our home page or as a minimum,

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 7 business days
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.
