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:

we agree to the following:
Users can visit our
site anonymously.

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.
Do we let
third-parties, including ad networks or plug-ins collect PII from children

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 those 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.

law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for
