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.
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 website.
Our
Privacy Policy link includes the word 'Privacy' and can easily be found on the
page specified above.

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 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 you via email
• Within
7 business days
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.
