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:

According to CalOPPA we agree to the following:

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.

to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions.
