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:

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 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.
