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

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 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.
We collect your email address in order to:
• Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions.
To be in accordance with CANSPAM we agree to the following:
