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. - See more at:
http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf
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 as a minimum, on the first significant
page after entering our website.
Our Privacy Policy link includes the word 'Privacy' and can
easily be found on the page specified above.
You will be notified of any Privacy Policy changes:

How does our site handle Do Not Track signals?
We don't honor Do Not Track signals and Do Not Track, plant
cookies, or use advertising when a Do Not Track (DNT) browser
mechanism is in place. We don't honor them because:
it is not enabled.
Does our site allow third-party behavioral tracking?
It's also important to 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 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.
Do we let third-parties, including ad networks or plug-ins
collect PII from 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 you via email at the most convenient time.
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.
