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:

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 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.
