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(http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/).
According to CalOPPA we agree to the following
- Users can visit our Website 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 logging in to their account.

note that we do not allow third party behavioral tracking COPPA (Children
Online Privacy Protection Act) When it comes to the collection
of personal information from children under 13 years of age, 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 collect information from
children under 13 years of age. Does our Website allow third party behavioral
tracking? Parents can review, delete, manage or refuse with whom
their child’s information is shared through contacting us directly or contacting
us directly. 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 (seven) business days.
- We will notify the users via in website notification within 7 (seven) 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.
