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:

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

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 1 business day
We will notify the users via in-site notification
• 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.
CAN SPAM Act

requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent
to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.

inquiries, and/or other requests or questions
• Process orders and to send
information and updates pertaining to orders.
