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:

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

policy is created, we will add a link to it on our home page or as a

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 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 violations.
We collect your
email address in order to:
• Send
information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions
