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. -

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.
