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:

Users can visit our site
anonymously.

created, we will add a link to it on our home page or as a minimum, on the

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 the users via
in-site notification
•
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.
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
