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:

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
• Within 1 business day
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 have the right to ask us to delete or remove Personal Data when you no longer want to use the
features of our website. In order to do that, please send a written request to [email protected]
