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 precisely the data being collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared and to comply with this policy. – See more at the California Online Privacy Protection Act.

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, at minimum, on the first significant page after entering our website.
  • Our Privacy Policy link includes the word ‘Privacy’ and can be found on the abovementioned page.
  • Users will be notified of any privacy policy changes on our Privacy Policy Page
  • Users can change their personal information by logging into their account

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

When collecting 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 18.

FAIR INFORMATION PRACTICES

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States. 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 complying with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.

To be in line with Fair Information Practices, we will notify users via email within seven business days should a data breach occur:

We also agree with 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 those 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.
