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)

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.
