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: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf

 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, at minimum, on the first significant page after entering our website. Our Privacy Policy link includes the word 'Privacy' and can be found on the abovementioned page.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control when collecting personal information from children under 13. The Federal Trade Commission, a 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 13.

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 developing data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practices Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to complying with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.  

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 seven business days

We will notify the users via in-site notification.

      • Within seven 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 that individuals have enforceable rights against data users and have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
