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. -

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 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.
CAN SPAM Act
The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email,
establishes
