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:

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 and GDPR 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 7 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. You also have
the right to erasure, please contact us to remove your data from our system
which will be completed within 7 working days.
