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 here. 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.
Users will be notified of any privacy policy
changes:
• On our Privacy Policy Page
Users are able to change their personal information:
• By emailing us

plant cookies, or use advertising when a Do Not
Track (DNT) browser mechanism is in place.

It's also important to note that we allow third
party behavioral tracking
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.
To be accordance with CANSPAM we agree to the
following:
• NOT use false, or misleading subjects or email
addresses
• Identify the message as an advertisement in some
reasonable way
• Include the physical address of our business or
site headquarters

compliance, if one is used.
