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 as a minimum, on the first significant page after
entering our website.
Our Privacy Policy link includes the word 'Privacy' and can
easily be found on the page specified above.
You will be notified of any Privacy Policy changes:

emailing us
• By
chatting with us or by sending us a support ticket
How does our site handle Do Not Track signals?

use advertising when a Do Not Track (DNT) browser mechanism is in
place.
Does our site allow third-party behavioral tracking?
It's also important to note that we do not allow third-party
behavioral tracking
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.
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.
CAN SPAM Act
The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email,
establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients
the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells
out tough penalties for violations.
We collect your email address in order to:
• Send
information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or
questions
• Market
to our mailing list or continue to send emails to our clients after
the original transaction has occurred.
To be in accordance with CANSPAM, we agree to the
following:
• Not
use false or misleading subjects or email addresses.
• Identify
the message as an advertisement in some reasonable way.
• Include
the physical address of our business or site headquarters.
• Monitor
third-party email marketing services for compliance, if one is
used.
• Honor
opt-out/unsubscribe requests quickly.
• Allow
users to unsubscribe by using the link at the bottom of each
email.
