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 a 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 with whom it is being
shared, and to comply with this policy. - See more at:
http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-p...
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 on the first significant page after entering our

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
When
it comes to the collection of personal information from children under
13, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in
control. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation's 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 13.
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 the users via email
• Within 7 business days
We
also agree to the individual redress principle, which requires that
individuals have a right to pursue legally 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
a government agency to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by
data processors.
CAN SPAM Act
The
CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email,
establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the
right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out
tough penalties for violations.
We collect your email address in order to:
• Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions.
