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.

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
We will notify the users via in-site notification
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.
