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-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf
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 be 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 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 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 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 government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.

requirements
for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells
