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

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 collect personal information from children under the age of 13 years old without the consent of a parent or legal guardian.
We do not ask for more personal information than is necessary for a child to participate in the activity.
We take steps to prevent children from posting or publicly disclosing personal information without parental consent, such as monitoring or screening and use of filtering technology.
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 will notify the users via in-site notification
• 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.
