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:

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.
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.
