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:

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.

We will notify the users via in-site
notification Within 30 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 requirements for commercial messages, gives
recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and
spells out tough penalties for violations.
