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:

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.
Do we let third-parties, including ad networks or plug-ins
collect PII from 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 you via email
• 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.
